Xiaomi Mi Note 10: 108 MEGAPIXEL Smartphone! By GadgetMatch

Hey guys I'm Michael, Josh you're, watching gadget, match, and I'm back after a long hiatus, I know I was traveling through Asia, and they got really sick, and it really knocked me out big time, but no worries I'm back I'm, feeling better stronger and ready to end this year with a bang, and hopefully the audio sounds better too. The phone I have today is another big one from Xiaomi launching today in month, it's Spain. Why should you be excited because it's the world's first phone with a 108 megapixel camera but, as we say, all the time, more megapixels doesn't always mean a better camera. So how good is this camera smartphone? The answer is coming right up. This is our Xiaomi me note 10, unboxing and review. Ok.

Let's start it will keep the unboxing simple as this black box, with the phone's branding button Center first up is the phone and printed on this wrapper are all the key features which we'll get into later long story. Short, it's all about the camera. Next up is in the ejector tool user guides and a black jelly case, similar to what we got with Army, 9 and last, but definitely not the least, a charging brick and USB cable. It's important to point out that this is the first time that shallowly ships a fast charger in the box. Many of the phones Xiaomi introduced this year support fast charging, but you needed to buy a separate charger to get those promised to fast charging speeds.

The note: 10 comes with a much larger battery than what we see on phones, 5250, William hours to be exact and Xiaomi promises, 65 minutes for a full charge from empty, and again you get all of that with the charger that comes in the box. Now, let's take a closer look at the phone on the outside. The Note 10 doesn't look very different from any phone we've seen in 2019, it's an all glass phone with a curved display. It's back getting either a pearly white or a Northern Lights inspired gradient finish, or you can go for the less flashy grayish black finish like I have because of that bigger battery. The phone is a bit on the heavy side, but I don't mind one bit because of that extra large battery Xiaomi is promising up to 2 days with average juice in the week that I tested the phone I definitely got through a whole day with a little left over the next morning.

Some other things worth pointing out. The phone has a headphone jack right here on the bottom, beside the speaker, grills and USB-C port up top. It's got an IR blaster that lets you use the built-in remote app and over here on the right hand, side, along with the power and volume buttons, is a dual NATO SIM card tray. There is no micros slot, so you're stuck with onboard storage, which is 128 gigabytes for the global version. Turn the phone on, and you'll find a teardrop notch, just like on the mean 9.

If you want the all display experience v90 pro with no notch and a pop-up camera is the one to get Xiaomi says this display is more responsive, regardless of whether it's hot or humid, outside or cold and dry baked into the display is a fingerprint scanner, supposedly 10% faster compared to previous models, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The 90 seems faster in my tests, and it's still not as fast as the OnePlus 70. But of course that's just me nitpicking in an effort to verify their claims and lock times are great, but not perceivable faster as claimed and then there's face unlock, which is nice and snappy. Also, of course, the question that begs to be answered. How are the know? Tens cameras, that's what I sought to answer when I took the phone around New York this week, but before we talk about that 108 megapixel showstopper.

Let's talk about the phones, other cameras on the back. There are five from top to bottom. There's a 5x do lens. Then a 2x zoom lens here in the middle is the 108 megapixel camera. Underneath it an ultra wide-angle camera and last, but not the least, a dedicated macro camera, do we need that? Many cameras? I'd argue not really.

Why do we need to telephoto lenses, and did we also need that dedicated macro lens put it that ultra wide-angle have served double purpose regardless? Let's take a look at how each of these cameras perform the macro lens. Does the job but requires plenty of light, see these sample shots? Having said that, it's a low resolution image good enough only for social, the ultra wide-angle camera is great to have, and I'm glad it's there, but it's also best used only during the day, I tried to take this photo at night, and it wasn't as good now log to the zoom lenses. Here's a photo I shot using the standard lens, here's 2 X zoom and here's 5 X zoom during the day, details are great I know, I just said: why do we need to telephoto lenses but at the same time, I also like the fact that there is both the 2x and the 5x for everyday use? I think 2x zoom is the sweet spot, but there are instances when you do want to be able to zoom in closer, for example, during my photo walk when a plane flew overhead, I shot this with 5x zoom and when I spotted this Robin in the bushes I switched to hybrid digital zoom to get in as close as I could the phone lets you zoom in all the way to 50x but realistically, around 20x is where it's actually usable. Ok, now to the main event, the 108 megapixel can make possible thanks to a new sensor from Samsung, just like other phones with high resolution. Sensors pixels are been the combined or fused together to produce a smaller image with more details.

During the day the shots we took with the Xiaomi Minor 10 were very good. Just like the highly rated Xiaomi me 9 Xiaomi says images shot using that 108 megapixel mode can be used in billboards of up to four point two meters in size. However, if you're really shooting a photo for billboards, you'd probably want to use a professional camera. The image sensor on the Minor 10 is also one of the largest in the biz. Unfortunately, that combination of many megapixels and a large sensor doesn't lead to larger pixels, which is what we really need for better low-light performance.

Having said that, night, shots on the Minor 10 were actually pretty good and when using the dedicated long exposure night mode, even more images are fused together for better brighter results. Unfortunately, night mode processing is slow, and you can't use your phone while it processes an image. So you can't take night shots in succession. Resulting shots are pretty good, though, but I wouldn't say they're the best low-light shots I see. So is the Xiaomi me Note 10 your gadget match at just over 550 euros.

The Minor 10 is priced attractively, especially given the camera system that it offers it comes in cheaper than the OnePlus 70, without the higher-end processor and the 90 Hertz display, but with a better camera and a larger battery. So those are your top priorities, then this is a phone to consider. If it's available you live. Some will argue that it's no contest given its Snapdragon 730 G processor, which, unless you're a hardcore gamer shouldn't, be much of an issue. The 730 G is in fact designed with gamers in mind.

It also helps deliver longer battery life. Having said that, my 2019 flagship killer of choice, the Xiaomi me 90 Pro retails- for about 400 to 450 euros depending on configuration and big picture. We're show me the latest and greatest is concerned. I still think this phone is the better value for those looking for a flagship smartphone for Less. The value of the Minor 10 is the flexibility it's camera offers.

Having multiple lenses for different purposes is like having an interchangeable lens camera. If you're into photography, you will definitely see its value and will benefit much from it. The same goes for its 108 megapixel sensor. It's nice to have, but unless you're going to be blowing up prints all the time for most users, that's pretty overkill, and that was our Xiaomi meet.
