Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro review: Great screen, cameras and efficacy, but bulky

Priced at Rs 39,999, the Mi 10T Pro is one smartphone that seems to offer sheer value-for-money, at least on paper. Is it as good in actual use? Let’s find out

Xiaomi restricted itself to budget and mid-range smartphones in India’s price conscious market for a long time. This year, however, the Chinese electronics maker took the leap and launched its premier smartphones in India. Fresh in the line-up is the Mi 10T Pro, which epitomises the company’s efforts in display technology and imaging. Priced at Rs 39,999, the Mi 10T Pro is one of the smartphones that seems to offer sheer value-for-money, at least on paper. Is it as good in real life usage? Let’s find out:

Moreover, the phone’s back cover attracts fingerprints and smudges, and requires regular efforts to keep it clean and shining. The protruding rear camera module puts another dent to the uninspiring design; the phone wobbles on flat surfaces like table top.

Mi 10T Pro: Display

The Mi 10T Pro may not have the best design, but it has an impressive screen that works great for most content one consumes on a mobile device. It is a 6.67-inch LCD screen of fullHD+ resolution with adaptive refresh rate that goes all the way up to 144Hz. While adaptive refresh rate is not new to smartphones, Xiaomi’s iteration of it seems to work in most scenarios and the difference is apparent in user interface, apps and everything else you do on the Mi 10T Pro. Besides, the screen is touted to support motion smoothing (MEMC) but there is no mention of it in display settings. It seems like a display feature added for novelty but with minimal or no real advantage in relative terms…
