Xiaomi Mi Note 10 review
The Xiaomi Mi Note range petered out in 2017 with the Mi Note 3, but now, in coque samsung galaxy j5 2016 late 2019, Xiaomi has rebooted the series with the Mi Note 10. Is the Note 10 monicker intended to bring it up to date in terms of the Mi series, with the Mi 10 expected in early 2020, or to compete with Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Well, a bit of both, probably.
The Xiaomi Mi Note 10 isn just another generic affordable device, as the other Mi Note phones were; it assuredly a front runner, bringing heaps of energy coque samsung galaxy a3 2016 personnalisé to Xiaomi portfolio with an unexpectedly high count of premium features.
The Mi Note 10, then, is Xiaomi version of the OnePlus 7 Pro, which revitalized OnePlus portfolio by being its most high end device to date. coque samsung Saying that, this phone is coque iphone 6 munch more comparable to the Huawei P30 Pro, at least in appearance Xiaomi device doesn share a design bone coque samsung a 40 with Huawei photography powerhouse as much as it shares a whole coque pink floyd iphone 6 skeleton.
With a premium looking curved screen, five rear cameras, a massive battery and a 108MP main camera which is really coque samsung galaxy j3 2016 silicone the phone biggest draw the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 takes on both the OnePlus 7 Pro and the P30 Pro, as well as the Oppo Reno 10x Zoom.
These are all phones with plenty of high end features but more mid range price tags, making them tempting alternatives to the best that the ‘old guard’ coque samsung j7 2016 amazon of Samsung and Apple have to offer.
Xiaomi Mi Note 10 price and availability
(Image credit: Future)Read the rest of our Xiaomi Mi Note 10 review and take a guess at how much this phone should cost. Do its features suggest that it should command a $1,200 / / AU$1,500 price tag like a top end iPhone or Samsung Galaxy Note device, or do you think Xiaomi will try to price it more competitively
Well, your guess is as good as ours, because all we know is that the Mi Note 10 will cost that converts to roughly $610, coque iphone 5s 1995 or AU$880, but pricing for the device outside Europe is up in the air. bijoux pas cher However, if those converted prices are anything to go on, it won cost nearly as much as some of those competitors coque samsung galaxy tab 3 mentioned above.
There also no word on coque iphone 6 bts v a global release date, although the device is already out in China under a different name there was a gap of several months between Xiaomi announcing the Mi 9 and actually putting it on sale though, so don hold your breath.
Design and displayAs mentioned, the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 bears more than a passing resemblance to the Huawei P30 Pro it got a big screen with curved edges and a small notch, a rather large build, and a camera array at the top left of its rear.
The full dimensions are 157.8 x 74.2 x 9.67mm, and it weighs 208g, so it not huge, but it a little thick and heavy, which is probably because of the massive battery. The phone feels big in the hand, and the thickness coque samsung galaxy s7 is palpable, although unless you have small hands most of the coque samsung galaxy note 3 lite display is accessible with one hand.
The volume rocker and power button are both on the right edge of the device, and on the bottom are a USB C port and also a 3.5mm headphone jack the latter isn exactly common in premium devices these days, so fans of wired headphones will be glad of its inclusion here.
(Image credit: Future)The screen is a 6.47 inch AMOLED display, and, as you expect with such top end screen tech, images look fantastic, with great contrast, vibrant colors and masses of detail.
The screen is curved at the edges, in the style of the Huawei P30 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S10, which is one of the key indicators of its premium status. coque samsung In coque samsung s7 silicone practice though, there very little curved area, and most of it is taken up by a fairly substantial bezel around the screen, but it does makes the phone feel comfortable to hold.
CameraIf there’s one feature we need to talk about on the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 it’s the camera, as this is the first smartphone to rock a 108MP sensor. For some context, that nine times the resolution of the main camera in the iPhone 11.
The 108MP main sensor which we’ll come back to shortly is one of five rear cameras, and unlike on the Nokia 9 PureView, which had the same number, these all have a distinct role.
There also a 12MP sensor with telephoto lens, which is mainly for portrait shots, although it supports 2x optical zoom too. Pictures taken with this looked great, with the subject picked out accurately and appropriate levels of background blur, but we need to test this in a range of settings, especially when using the zoom.
(Image credit: Future)Then there a second telephoto lens, this one paired with a 5MP sensor, which allows for 5x optical zoom, 10x hybrid zoom and 50x digital zoom. From our coque iphone 6 plus ultra fine brief testing, optical zoom images look fairly good, although they can be a tiny bit grainy. If you go to max zoom (as you inevitably will do, if only for the novelty factor), you find the pictures incredibly grainy, although that to be expected at such extreme zoom ranges.
Camera number four is an ultra wide lens with a 20MP sensor, which is one of the highest resolution sensors we seen paired with an ultra wide lens. Again, ultra wide pictures looked good, with less distortion towards the edges than we seen with other ultra wide snappers.
Finally, there a coque samsung galaxy a70 2MP macro camera, which is for close up shots of things like food or textures. We had a bit of trouble with this mode, as it hard to take pictures when you’re just 2cm away from your subject (as Xiaomi suggests you can) without totally blocking out the light. coque iphone From our brief testing, though, macro images look okay, although the camera didn always capture all coque samsung galaxy j3 6 the texture in a subject, probably due to the small size of the sensor.
Round the front there a 32MP camera, although you can coque samsung galaxy tab a6 actually take 32MP shots with it; instead, Xiaomi’s 4 in 1 Super Pixel tech takes a really great looking 8MP selfie. Great looking is an understatement, actually, as these are some of the best selfies we seen from a smartphone (and it not just because of our radiant smile). Photos had lovely background blur and were nicely exposed, and the camera didn take ages to focus.
(Image credit: Future)Now onto the 108MP camera itself and it good. Pictures taken in its default mode are 27MP, although there an easily selectable mode to switch to 108MP, which we appreciate, since on coque samsung j7 2016 some smartphones you have to delve into the menus to change mode.
Of course, on a smartphone screen you won be able to see 108MP pictures in all their glory, but the advantage of this sensor is that it gathers vast amounts of light, so pictures look brighter, more vibrant and richly detailed.
It seems like all this camera power comes at a cost, though, and the Mi Note 10 Achilles heel is its processor, which coque iphone 6 noir et blanc frankly isn good enough. coque samsung We get into this more in the next section, but the biggest knock on effect is in the camera UI the app frequently froze, and sometimes even crashed, during our short hands on time.
When you take a 108MP, night picture, or any snap that requires any large degree of processing, the Mi Note 10 won let you change modes or take another picture until the processing is complete, which can coque iphone 6 sexy homme often take a while. The sub par processor coque samsung s6 amazon is the only thing standing in the way of the cameras on the phone being great.
Indeed, in other respects the camera app performs well autofocus is surprisingly quick, as is AI scene optimization, and in general it was easy to take a great picture, thanks to the camera tweaking settings appropriately.
There are, however, some bizarre combinations of camera modes and options. coque iphone For example, a coque iphone jeux video feature Xiaomi touts is Vlog mode, which helps you capture video blogs easily by shooting each segment in sequence, essentially cutting out the editing stage; however, this option is only available for the rear cameras, rendering the mode useless for vlogging.
Similarly, there mode available in portrait mode, which lets you take a 21:9 aspect ratio snap (that the aspect ratio of most movies). coque huawei However, this mode isn available in video mode, so you can actually shoot movies in 21:9, only still pictures. Isn the point of moving pictures that you take coque samsung j5 2017 amazon more than one
So, while we managed to take some great looking snaps with the Xiaomi Mi Note 10, we found its app frustrating and confusing coque samsung a6 2018 in equal measure.
