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:

Mi 10T Pro: Design

The Mi 10T Pro is huge, bulky and heavy. Look elsewhere if you need a compact smartphone because this one is a brick not meant for single hand operations. The smartphone boasts premium glass-metal construction with Gorilla Glass 5 protection on the front and back, and on the rear camera module. Though the phone has a premium built, its glossy rear profile makes it susceptible to accidental slips from hands. 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…

Airplane crash investigations can improve cybersecurity. Here's how

Additional measures would likely be required to make a cybersecurity safety board successful, such as launching investigations only for serious breaches like those involving critical infrastructure While some countries struggle with safety, U. S. airplane travel has lately had a remarkable safety record. In fact, from 2014 through 2017, there were no fatal commercial airline crashes in the U. S. But those years were fraught with other kinds of trouble: Security breaches and electronic espionage affected nearly every adult in the U. S., along with the power grid in Ukraine and the 2016 U. S. presidential campaign, to name a few. As a scholar of cybersecurity policy, I think it’s time that my own industry took some lessons from one of the safest high-tech transportation methods of the 21st century. Like today in cybersecurity, the early days of US air travel weren’t regulated particularly closely. And there were a huge number of accidents. Only after pub...
