The screen size reaches 6.67" inches. With a large display, phone offers a great experience for watching videos, playing games and reading. The best phones today are 6.5'' or more. They have the advantage of a large display area that allows you to see more content than with conventional display sizes. Owing to OLED technology, the display offers a true representation of colours, especially black. The resulting contrast is significantly higher and colours appear more vivid. OLED technology is now part of most smartphones, while LCD displays are becoming a thing of the past in mobile phones. OLED displays also have lower power consumption compared to LCD technology.

Display Resolution of Xiaomi MI 10 is 2340 x 1080 pixels. A higher display resolution is a prerequisite for a sharper image. The standard for mid-range phones today is a Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 px. Cheaper phones, which usually have a smaller diagonal, have an HD resolution of 1280 × 720 px. Smaller resolutions can only be found in older models. Best phones, on the other hand, have a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 px.

The refresh rate is 90 Hz. This value indicates how many times per second display shows new information. Previously, 60 Hz was considered the standard, but today the average frequency for mid-range phones is more like 90 Hz. Modern phones now reach frequencies of around 120 Hz and above. Higher frequencies mean a better user experience when browsing the internet and especially when playing games.

PROCESSOR Xiaomi MI 10
Processor Type (CPU) Qualcomm Snapdragon 865
Clock Speed 2.84 GHz Better than 97 % of phones rated.
Processor Core Qty 8-core Better than 99 % of phones rated.
64-bit Architecture Yes Better than 82 % of phones rated.
Graphics System (GPU) Qualcomm ADRENO 650

Xiaomi MI 10 is supplied with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. The number of processor cores is 8. It is a number of cores that plays an important role in evaluating the performance of phone as it is responsible for computing operations. Smartphones already commonly have a core count of around 4 to 8. Multi-core processors can perform better and reduce the processing time of a request to a minimum, which is reflected in the responsiveness of the phone, e.g. in the speed of opening applications. Another important parameter is the processor frequency, which indicates how many instructions the phone can process in one second. Similar to refresh rate, the higher the number, the faster the phone responds. Processor frequency of phone Xiaomi MI 10 is 2.84 GHz. As standard today, you'll find this value between 1.8 GHz and 2.8 GHz.

The processor also includes the graphics accelerator Qualcomm ADRENO 650.

MEMORY Xiaomi MI 10
RAM LPDDR5 SDRAM - 8 GB Better than 96 % of phones rated.
Internal Memory Size (Storage Capacity) 128 GB Better than 90 % of phones rated.
Memory Interface UFS 3.0

One of the most important parameters for user´s decision is often internal memory capacity. The larger it is, the more apps, photos, movies and other files your phone can store. This phone has 128 GB storage. It is currently the most common storage size among today´s smartphones. The capacity is perfectly adequate for the average user. It will allow you to store thousands of photos, high-resolution videos, dozens of apps and several games on your phone. But if you're one of those really demanding users and you use your phone to shoot 4K videos etc., then you should rather pay extra to have a larger storage of 256 GB or more. Nowadays, you can usually find one phone model on the market with several different memory sizes. This allows each user to choose what suits them best.

Size of the RAM memory tells us how powerful the phone is. Xiaomi MI 10 is equipped with LPDDR5 SDRAM - 8 GB. Commonly today you will find phones with 6 to 8 GB of RAM. This means that the phone can easily handle normal operation and more demanding applications or games. Higher RAM of 12 GB can be found in best phones on market and are ideal especially for avid gamers. On the other hand, operating memory below 4 GB is more of an issue with lower-end phones and older models. However, even they will find their fans among less demanding users, who don´t want to spend much on buying new phone.

The rear camera of the phone Xiaomi MI 10 has 4 lenses. Today's modern phones usually have several rear lenses. The most common are macro lens, telephoto lens and wide-angle lens. Each is used to capture the perfect photo - macro lens is designed for close-up photography, telephoto lens, often equipped with an optical zoom, is for photos of objects in distance, and wide-angle lens captures larger areas where you need a wider field of view. The resolution of main lens is 108 Megapixel. Nonetheless, resolution alone does not necessarily mean a good photo. Therefore, you should look at other parameters such as lens aperture or pixel size.

The size of the phone's sensor is also among the parameters that affect quality of the photo. In case of Xiaomi MI 10, it is 1/1.33". Focus mainly on the value after the slash, where the higher it is, the better photo quality will be. Another important factor is the aperture, which in this case is F/1.69 and determines how much light passes through the sensor. Best phones have an aperture of up to F/1.5. But the most common lenses today are F/1.8 to F/2.2. In this case, the lower the number after the slash, the higher the photo quality. An undeniable advantage is the optical image stabilisation, which makes image significantly more stable without any loss in quality. Cheaper phone models are equipped with electronic stabilisation, which has a negative effect on the resulting image quality. Many people will also benefit from the facial recognition feature. In translation it means the camera can recognise face of person in the frame and automatically focus on it.

Second camera
The second lens of rear camera is designed as Ultra wide-angle lens. The field of view of second lens reaches 123 degree(s). The resolution reaches size of 13 Megapixel. In addition, this lens also features lens aperture of F/2.4.

Third camera
The resolution of third lens is then 2 Megapixel. The aperture reaches size of F/2.4.

Fourth camera
The resolution of fourth rear camera reaches 2 Megapixel. The pixel size is 1.75 μm. Lens aperture value then reaches F/2.4.

Front camera
The front camera of phone Xiaomi MI 10 has one lens. This number of lenses is standard on most smartphones nowadays. The lens is equipped with 20 Megapixel. However, do not forget there are other factors than resolution having impact on the final quality of front camera photos.

BATTERY AND CHARGING Xiaomi MI 10
Battery Capacity (Battery Size) 4780 mAh Better than 92 % of phones rated.
Fast Charging Technology Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0+, Power Delivery 3.0 Better than 86 % of phones rated.
Wireless Charging Yes Better than 91 % of phones rated.

The battery size of Xiaomi MI 10 is 4780 mAh. Nevertheless, battery capacity is not the only factor that affects the phone's battery life. For example - the size of the display, the performance of the processor, the use of data functions and, of course, the intensity of use of phone in general all have a significant impact on battery life. Standard for most smartphones today is a battery capacity of around 4500 to 5000 mAH. Phones with this battery size usually guarantee a phone life of at least 1 day. Older or cheaper smartphone models can then reach battery capacities typically around 2500 mAH and below. With this capacity, you may find that if you use your phone heavily, you may need to recharge your phone during the day. Today, wireless charging feature is popular and appreciated by many users. You don't have to worry about your phone overheating, and it's also practical in that you don't wear out your phone's connector unnecessarily. The fast charging function will also please many people. Owing to fast charging, phone charges up to several times faster, which you will appreciate, for example, on the go.
