MI 10i 5G (Pacific Sunrise, 6GB RAM, 128GB Storage)- 108MP Quad Camera | Snapdragon 750G Processor | Upto 2000 Additional Exchange

I was looking for phone with budget constraints. Without spending too much on phone, I wanted a phone that ticks all the right marks.With Mi10i it fits the budget and does the job pretty well.It's not an AMOLED screen but a very good FULL HD+ IPS display panel does a very good job along with the 120 hz adaptive screen (except for a few jitters here n there).Camera is decent though overhyped with all the noise around 108 MP. It clicks decent (though detailed) daylight photographs and clicks decent night photographs.Selfie camera is good.Overall the camera is good with smooth edge detection in portraits.The chipset SD Qualcomm 750g is very fast.. I didn't face any lagging or any issues in day to day routines. I'm not a gaming guy but from What I've heard it does a very good job in gaming. You can play PuBG, Call of duty and others in high settings with out any jitters.As per my regular usage I haven't faced any heating issues.RAM management is too severe as it closes or reboots the app in background quite often.The battery life is good - lasting for a day and with inbox 33w fast charger it charges within 55 minutes, so that's quick.Fingerprint Reader - Accurate and FastSD Card - Expandable3.5 mm jack - YESSpeakers - Stereo (Sound full but not loud enough)Screen viewing angles - GoodScreen Brightness in room and normal condition - Very GoodFront Screen and Back protection - Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protectionIR BLASTER - YESHeadphone / Earphone audio quality - SuperbScreen brightness in 🌞 - Above averageThe thing MI needs to really work upon is the UI - the MiUi 12.4 out of the box needs improvement and upgrades for smooth operation.Also, hope to see Android 11 soon enough on Mi10i.The back cover in matte finish which comes in the box is pretty good and there is also a screen protector (not tempered glass) on the front which does a decent job.I would recommend and suggest to buy a good tempered glass along with a rugged armour back case for all round protection.If you are okay with the above mentioned review that includes all the positives and negatives, then do consider it.

Been using this for like a week now, so here's what I found so farPros:Really good battery, could easily get 8-11 hrs on normal usageFast charging? Hell yes it's fastReally good performance so far, could heat a lil bit if you're overworking the device and also a bit during the charging but other than it's fine...Network connectivity is way better than my last phone.. tho I doubted its performance when I got it the first day... Was getting really inconsistent speeds and like 3 days later, it got better well more like there wasn't an issue like this.Miui was sometimes buggy but I expected that and tbh it was better than what I thought it would be... No ads so far so there's that.Fingerprint sensor is pretty good too.. instant unlocking :)Display wise, I think it's just better than most ips lcd displays I've seen... Brighter when you need it to be and it's just so smooth... 120hz display is very pleasing for the eyes.. I would go for 120hz than 60hz tho it would use more battery but I don't really care since I fricking love it.Cons:Camera was okay ig, not that it's bad or anything it's good..The wide angle lens is bad for the most part.. since I don't really use it that much it's okcfor me... I hope they improve the camera quality in the coming updates..I couldn't fathom the amount of bloatware this device had when booted it up like there's a lot lot... Tho you could just disable or uninstall most of it except for some annoying apps so there's thatI wish the ui was a lil better tho... I changed it to nova launcher and I love it more than the stock oneYou can't turn off fast charging apparantly... I would only use fast charging if I really needed that since fast charging can screw up the battery longevity and all... They might add that later ig i haven't found any option for that so farTho I wouldve liked the amoled screen 120hz screen does make up for it, and at the end it is what it is igSo that sums up everything.... Just go for it.. you'll love it for sure:)

I was one of the first to order this device when it launched and went for sale. I received it same day itself thanks to Amazon's superfast delivery.Coming to the device, the striking feature is the unique gradient design of ghe back panel ( pacific sunrise) which led to several inquisitive eyes asking me about the device.Pros:1. 108mp Samsung ISOCELL HM2 is a great sensor for capturing details. Even in low light, its 9 pixel binning allows for great shots. By default the camera snaps 12MP photos which are crisp and detailed. The natural bokeh with close up shots are truely good and at par with some flagships. That being said, its high time the manufacturers make note of quality over quantity. The 2+2mp macro and depth cameras are literally useless. I expected the ultra wide to be at least a 13MP, though the shots are usable.2. Performance - SD 750G is snappy and handles the heavily skinned MIUI quite well. MIUI 12 has me pleasantly surprised coming from Oxygen OS. Most of the bloatware can be removed and UI customized to need. The 120Hz display, though LCD, (one expects AMOLED at this price range) is bright and commensurate.3. Battery life - The 4820mah juggernaut gives a decent SOT of around 6-6.5 hrs with the resolution maxed up and medium usage.Cons-In my usage I haven't found any con which can be a deal breaker at this price point. As mentioned earlier, an AMOLED display, wider support for 5G bands when it comes to India, and "less is more" when it comes to camera methodology, are sone points worth mentioning.Also, Xiaomi has come a long way in refining the MIUI, though sometimes still struggle with ads and bloatware.
