Overview of the smartphone Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Pro with its main characteristics

Loved by many, Xiaomi has surprised fans of great shots: it has released a new product with as many as six cameras. The manufacturer not only overcame a new peak, but also surpassed the notorious iPhone.

Read our review of the new Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Pro, where we will introduce you in detail to the main characteristics of the smartphone, its functionality and tell you about the advantages and disadvantages, if, of course, the latter are found.

A little about the company

Xiaomi is a reliable company from the Middle Kingdom, which never ceases to delight us with a wide range of products designed for various market segments.

In our country, people often ask the question: “How to pronounce the name of the manufacturer?”. The experts gave their answer, it is required to speak: "Sayomi".

If you translate the name of the company into Russian, you get “little rice”, and if you simplify, then “rice grain”.

The history of Xiaomi began when, in 2010, a talented IT specialist Lei Jun, competently selected partners and started producing OS for smartphones, calling it MIUI.

In less than two years, the products have become extremely popular.

The company's strategy is based on savings:

• management has fewer brand sections at its disposal than other brands;
• goods are sold at a minimum margin, which is quite attractive to consumers.

The Internet contains a lot of positive feedback about the products of "Rice grain", and every year the company rises higher and higher.

About model

The outgoing year brought several interesting trends that each manufacturer of equipment implements in its own way. The main directions relate to the resolution of matrices of mobile cameras and their number.

Xiaomi decided not to waste time on trifles and surprise the world community on all fronts at once. Six cameras for all occasions, and one with a maximum resolution of 108 MP! Camera? No, you haven't heard why you need it!

Characteristics:

Camera

Drum roll, camera! That is how it is necessary to call this miracle of technology.And there is an explanation for this - in front of us, at the moment, is the most sophisticated camera in the world of mobile electronics. Just think, the smartphone contains on its board as many as six matrices for image processing. Let's consider each separately.

The main camera with a resolution of 108 megapixels, you will not see this often. Samsung's cutting-edge ISOCELL Bright HMX sensor and eight aspherical lens do wonders. The presented examples show the highest quality of images: color reproduction and detailing are at their best. We also add that the main camera can shoot in 27 megapixel mode - combining 4 pixels into one. And the optical stabilization system will be very useful for shooting on the move.

The next two modules are telephoto lenses with a resolution of 12 megapixels and 8 megapixels, the latter also with an optical stabilization system and a fivefold optical zoom. The modules listed above are equipped with a face recognition system. The 12 MP camera is designed for portrait photography.

The fourth module is a super wide-angle camera with a resolution of 20 megapixels and a viewing angle of 117 degrees. Allows you to capture a little more space in the frame. All cameras have an autofocus system.

The last rear module is a macro camera with a matrix resolution of 2 megapixels. Very useful for fans of filming microcosm objects. Focal length: from 2 to 10 centimeters.

And finally, the front camera. Just imagine, a resolution of 32 megapixels. Some camera phones do not even have such a matrix as the main camera. Selfie fans will love it, that's for sure.

• There are cameras for all occasions.

• not detected.

Display

The smartphone uses an AMOLED display with a resolution of Full HD + 1080 x 2340 pixels with a diagonal of 6.47 inches.The solution is correct and is used for several reasons:

• excellent readability in bright sunlight;
• the ability to place a fingerprint scanner under the display;
• implementation of the Always-on function, which allows you to display information all the time the device is running.

The screen itself occupies almost the entire ~87.8% of the front surface of the phone, with the exception of a drop-shaped notch in the upper part of the display for the front camera. While most manufacturers prefer to install a selfie camera in a special screen cutout, Xiaomi remains a stickler for the notch.

The pixel density may not be the highest today ~ 398 ppi, but you will have to try to see the graininess of the image. The aspect ratio of 19.5:9 is not exactly cinematic, so there will be black bars on the screen when watching movies.

• AMOLED display;

• aspect ratio 19.5:9.

Filling

In the initial insider reports, it was said that the device was based on the Snapdragon 855 processor. But the rumors were not confirmed. In order to save energy and reduce the cost of the final product, it was decided to install the Snapdragon 730G.

The model will be released with one fixed amount of 8 GB of RAM. Built-in memory is 256 GB, and it is not expandable with memory cards. On the one hand, the volume is quite decent and should be enough for everyone. But with the main camera of 108 megapixels, you want to shoot and shoot, so free memory will decrease before your eyes.

Also, do not forget about the risk of failure of the device, all the data will remain on it, and you will have to resort to the help of specialists to extract them. In general, the decision is controversial, let's leave it on the conscience of the manufacturers.

• productive processor;
• large amount of RAM.

• no memory card slot.

Design

From the point of view of design, we will not see any intricate forms here, everything is standard, an ordinary candy bar. As a distinctive feature, you can specify the camera block on the back of the smartphone. It looks very unusual because of the abundance of such a number of matrices.

The fingerprint scanner has migrated under the display, and the manufacturer specifically noted the increased sensor area, so now it will be easier to get through authorization.

On the right side of the device traditionally nestled power button and volume rocker. The SIM card slot is located on the left side. The top edge is topped with an IR port eye and a noise-canceling microphone, while the bottom edge houses a 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB Type-C charging port, and a speaker grille.

The back surface is made of glass and glued to an aluminum frame. Three color options:

• midnight black;
• glacial white;
• emerald green.

• stylish design;
• 3.5mm jack.

• not detected

Connections

In one word, everything is here:

• Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac;
• Bluetooth version 5.0;
• GPS with support for major navigation systems.

There is even NFC and an infrared port, which make life very easy for an advanced user. Evil tongues claim that this phone is an exact copy of the Huawei P30 Pro, but the latter does not have a 3.5 mm Jack.

To Xiaomi's credit, we can say that it does not forget ordinary users who love to listen to music over wires.

• NFC module.

• not detected.

autonomy

With a 5260 mAh battery, there is no chance of running out of juice in one day.The manufacturer guarantees two full days of work on a single charge. And we have no reason to doubt it.

An energy-efficient processor, an AMOLED display and a capacious battery are a worthy set for long battery life.

A 30W charger is included in the package. In fast charge mode, tests showed the battery to be 58% full in just half an hour, and a full charge takes just over an hour.

• capacious battery;
• fast charging.

• not detected.

Price

At the moment, the device is produced in China under the brand name Mi CC9 Pro for internal use only. It is possible to purchase it, but the buyer will have to take care of the localization process.

Officially, the international version, according to the presentation, should be released in December 2019. Thus, Xiaomi hints at what kind of gift for the New Year holidays it would be nice to give to your loved ones.

The price according to preliminary data is about 650 dollars. Which is pretty good, given the really “cool” specifications of the device, and the fact that models such as the iPhone 11 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ or ​​Huawei P30 Pro are significantly more expensive. Of the mid-budget category in this device, only the price.

Conclusion

Despite minor shortcomings, Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Pro is aiming for the top model of the year. Perhaps this is the first model of a new class - extra camera phones that can fully replace a digital camera. Fantastic camera performance and affordable price make this model worthy of a closer acquaintance in the eyes of most potential buyers.
