Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite full review By GSMArena Official

Hey everyone, a few months ago, Xiaomi released amino 10. It was one of the first phones out there to have a 108 megapixel sensor, and it has a truly excellent set of cameras. That said, the high launch price, combined with the mid-range chipset, was a bit hard to swallow for a lot of people. So now Xiaomi has released the minor 10 lite. It has pretty much the same specs but with a few cuts in the camera department. But now that some time has passed, the original amino 10 is a bit cheaper.

So does it make sense to buy this new phone? I'm angry for gs, marina, and this is our review of the note, 10 lite, if you've ever seen, the OG me note 10 before the notes in light might give you a sense of d?j? vu. The back is a little different, and you'll see four cameras instead of five. It also no longer wobbles when placed on a flat surface. Apart from that, however, the two phones are identical in terms of looks the note.10 lite is a very comfortable hold. Despite the thick profile.

There is an anorexic earpiece above the notch, an IR blaster on the top of the phone nicely click buttons on the sides and the same amount of bezels. The glossy finish of our units is in midnight, black, which is more shades of blue and gray, if we're honest, but hey, it's still beautiful. Also, while it collects fingerprints, they aren't that noticeable. Most of the time like before, there's no mention of an IP rating and the gorilla glass 5 on the front and back curve towards the aluminum frame. Even the gorgeous display on the front is the same one as before, speaking of which the almost 6.5 inch AMOLED has a full HD resolution and a pixel density of 398 PPI. It supports HDR hdr10 as well.

The screen got respectably bright with 424 nits in manual mode and around 600 nits in adaptive mode. As far as colors are concerned, white's lean towards blue, but if you adjust things with the color wheel, you can gain some extra accuracy on the bottom. Half of the display you'll find an optical fingerprint reader. If you want to unlock the phone it's more than fast enough, but if you keep your finger on it a little longer a set of shortcuts also appears you can customize it too and change to unlock animation at 204 grams. It's not the lightest phone around, but it's not surprising because the battery is a massive 5 260 William hours.

It got an excellent 117 hours of endurance which beats out a lot of competition. As far as charging goes, there's a 30 watt charger in the box, which gets you from flat to 100 in an hour and 14 minutes or from zero to 53 percent in half an hour like in other me notes, there's no wireless charging on this phone there's something else you'll find, though a headphone jack. The note 10 lite also has a FM radio, so you can really take advantage of the wired life. Sadly, this phone has a single downward facing speaker. Instead of a stereo setup, it had average loudness which didn't impress us but had pretty good sound quality that nicely balanced, lively, vocals and even had some vase.

The Minot 10 light has a snapdragon 730g chipset, which offers a middle of the road performance. It's pretty solid in terms of day to day use, and you'll also find no thermal throttling. Here. The now 10 lite sports mini 11 on top of android 10. It has a flat and simple design.

That's been nicely polished over the years and is comfortable to use. Personally, I really like mini and after using mini 10 for a couple of months. I really missed it when I switched over to a new phone for the most part, there are plenty of customization options from changing up the always-on display to new themes. The phone can take advantage of its curved edges and have them flash. Whenever you get notifications, you can even enable an app drawer, unlike in some previous versions of the UI out of the box, the phone uses navigation buttons, but you can switch to gestures, which are a lot more comfortable and save space.

Now, like I said in the beginning, the cameras are where you'll notice, the biggest difference between the regular note, 10 and the note 10 lite Xiaomi has completely gotten rid of the telephotos here, which is a bit of a shame because they could have kept at least one of them. The ultrawide is also a lower resolution and now lacks autofocus. Instead, here you have a 64 megapixel main sensor, with an f 1.9 aperture, an 8 megapixel, ultrawide camera, a 2 megapixel macro lens, and a 5 megapixel depth sensor in daylight. Photos turned out perfect. They had nice detail a wide dynamic range, low noise and good colors, the AI mode produced more contrast and colorful images, but we found that they were too over saturated for our taste.

If you switch to the full 64 megapixel resolution, you can get some more detail from the scene and there's no reduced dynamic range or increased noise, which is something we've come to expect from other camera setups. If you want to zoom in it'll, be a digital one, while images aren't as sharp as they would be from a telecom they're all right. The untrod camera took good images during the day. Despite the low resolution, detail was good and colors were nice, though warmer than the main cameras dynamic range was a little reduced, but not overly. So in low light we weren't impressed images out of the main.

Camera were soft, especially in darker areas. Colors were well-preserved, and dynamic range is good, but underexposure was quite common night mode lifted. The shadows nicely and revealed more detail highlights were better preserved too. We did notice an orange cast whenever there were warmer lights, though, since zoomed photos are from the main camera at night, they can be usable, but you should know that you can see some heavy sharpening even without zooming in the ult rared camera really struggles in low light, producing underexposed, dark scenes and soft images. Portrait mode worked quite well on the notes.

In light. Skin tones are nice, exposure prioritizes faces and edge detection worked nicely for the most part. It works well for non-human subjects too. The macro camera allowed for some decent close-ups, but while it's nice that it can autofocus the 2 megapixels of resolution, don't allow for all that much detail. The amino 10 lite can record videos up to 4k at 30fps.

Footage is high quality with plenty of detail and natural. Looking processing contrast is a bit high, and we would have preferred a lighter exposure. Stabilization worked very well and footage looks smooth even at two times. Zoom full HD videos look more aggressively sharpened, though they also retained a good level of detail. Dynamic range, colors and exposure are the same as in 4k footage from the ultrawide camera had a narrower dynamic range and slightly more saturated colors detail was decent, though here we would have also liked a brighter exposure.

Selfies came out all right and nicely exposed faces. Colors are a bit off and there's a slightly artificially sharpened. Look selfie portraits had good subject separation, though we found that HDR for them worked rather inconsistently. Sometimes it didn't work at all and other times it kicked in. Unsurprisingly, the amino 10 light is a perfect phone.

Just like the original amino 10. It has a fantastic screen, great battery life and a feature-rich UI in terms of competition at its price. This is one of the best options you can get, but if you can shell out some extra money, you can get the amino 10 for not that much more and that's a significantly better camera experience. In the end, we recommend both phones, but the choice is up to you and what you value more, a better camera experience or the savings you'll be getting thanks for watching.
