Mi 10T lite 5G Smartphone Review
The
Xiaomi Mi 10T lite 5G is one of the newest Mi 10 series phones to come
out. With 'lite' in the name, you know
this one is a mid-ranger, The Mi
10T lite brings looks that are reminiscent of the Poxo X3 on the back thanks to
its rectangular camera arrangement.
However, here the back is made of Gorilla Glass with a glossy gradient
finish. The frame is
still made from plastic, though, and it's matte, not glossy, which
offers a bit of extra grip. The phone's curved
back adds a bit of comfort in the hand,
too. But at 215 grams, the
Xiaomi Mi 10 lite is actually not that light.
Xiaomi
Mi 10T lite 5G Smartphone Display
Xiaomi Mi 10T front is the 6.67-inch IPS
LCD with a 1080p resolution and a fast
120hz refresh rate. The fast
refresh rate means moving elements on the screen, like when swiping or
scrolling, look much smoother.
We were pleasantly surprised by the cutout for the selfie cam. It's one of the smallest we've seen on an
LCD. Unlike many
competitors, we didn't notice any
glow or backlight bleed around it.
Overall, we like this display. It's HDR10-compliant and plenty bright. We measured almost 600 nits of maximum
brightness in auto mode in bright light.
Colors looks good and you can tune them to be reasonably accurate
in settings. And the fast refresh
rate is adaptive to your content, switching seamlessly to fit what's on
screen.
Xiaomi
Mi 10T lite 5G Smartphone Sound & Speaker
Xiaomi also
didn't cut corners in the audio department. The Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite features a set of
stereo speakers, with one speaker at the bottom, and the other doubling as the earpiece. The sound quality isn't exceptional -
it's unbalanced, with the
bottom speaker much louder than the top one. But vocals sound clear and the overall
loudness is good, too. In addition,
there is a 3.5mm audio jack on the Xiaomi Mi 10T lite, for plugging in traditional headphones plus
support for FM radio.
Xiaomi
Mi 10T lite 5G Smartphone Unlocking & Storage
Waking
up and unlocking the phone is easy with the side-mounted fingerprint
reader. We like its concave
shape and it's super fast and
responsive. What you won't find
here is expandable storage.
Correction!!! You get a microSD slot besides the 64 or 128GB on
board. Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite
doesn't run the latest Android 11, but Android 10.
However, the interface is
Xiaomi's new MIUI 12. A notable feature of MIUI 12 is that the
notification shade can be divided into two different drop-down
menus. One for notifications and another
one for your quick settings - the
Control Center - very similar to Apple's iOS. You can not only keep your apps on the
home screen but you can have them in an
app drawer. The app drawer will
automatically arrange your apps into categories, too. And a cool feature is that there is a
space for quick shortcuts, always available when gaming. You access them by swiping on upper
corners of the screen. These
include plenty of functions and you can even launch
apps.
Xiaomi
Mi 10T lite 5G Smartphone Chipset & Performance
One
of the more unique features of the Xiaomi Mi 10T lite is its new Snapdragon 750G 5G chipset. It’s built on an 8nm process and its
performance is great for a mid-range chip, comparable to the Snapdragon
765G. This one offers better
CPU performance but falls a bit behind GPU-wise. Games still run really smoothly of course, especially if you can find some that
can take advantage of the display
with a high frame rate. And, of
course, you get support for 5G network connectivity, too.
Xiaomi
Mi 10T lite 5G Smartphone Battery & Charger
Battery life is another area in which the Xiaomi
Mi 10T lite does a great job. With its
4820mAh battery, it was able to score an excellent 116-hour endurance
rating in our battery life tests.
And charging speed is excellent too.
With the 33W charger that ships in the box, we were able to charge the Mi 10T lite
from 0 to 68% in half an hour.
Xiaomi
Mi 10T lite 5G Smartphone Camera
Now
on to the cameras. There’s a quad-camera setup, with a 64MP Quad Bayer main
cam, an 8MP ultra wide-angle cam, a 2MP
macro camera, and a depth sensor.
Photos from the main camera come out in 16MP and these are
decent. They have nice colors,
low noise, and a good level of detail.
However, sharpness leaves a bit more to be desired.
So,
that’s the Xiaomi Mi 10T lite 5G. You
get a solid glass build, a great LCD
screen with a high refresh rate, stereo
speakers, excellent battery life with fast charging, a snappy interface, and solid chipset
performance. Overall, it's a
feature-packed smartphone and a great deal for the money. It is worth mentioning that if you went for the similarly named and similarly
priced Mi 10 lite 5G, you would be
getting an AMOLED display and a better main camera. But if that's not something you care
about, the Xiaomi Mi 10T lite 5G is
definitely worth recommending.
