Hey guys it’s Sagar from and todaywe are going to unbox and take our first look at the Mi 10. Like all other phones that you see on my channel,this again is NOT a review unit, and I purchased it myself. Now I wasn’t sure if I was going to purchasethis phone, because the last Mi phone that Xiaomi launched in India was the Mi 5.
It was priced at Rs.25,000 and at the timepeople in India were not ready for a flagship Xiaomi smartphone, so it didn’t do verywell in India. So much so, that Xiaomi has refrained fromlaunching any of their flagship smartphones in India, that is until this Mi 10. Even now, I am not too sure if people areready for a Rs.50,000 Xiaomi smartphone, specially with the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro around. But then, I also wanted to see what the Mi10 offers, and if people willing to spend Rs.50,000 on a smartphone should keep thisone in their consideration, while making their choice. Also I really wanted to try the 108 Megapixelcamera.
Along reason, lets us getto the
unboxing. Starting with the exterior of the box, Atthe top, there is Mi 10 branding, and obviously a mention about the 108MP camera, and theSnapdragon 865 and 5G capability. At the back, you get a few more features,and then the colour and storage variant. I went with the Twillight Grey colour, andthe base variant of 8GB RAM and 128GB of Storage.
Nlet me quickly cut open the seal, andlet us get in the box. As we lift the lid, this white envelope greetsus. It contains the SIM tray ejection pin, USBC to 3.5mm audio jack adaptor, Users Guide, and a transparent, hard back TPU case. Next, we have the phone itself. Xiaomi should find a way to make it a biteasier to get the phone out of the box, maybe next time. For now, here is the Mi 10 in the TwillightGrey colour. I am going to keep it aside for now, whilewe take a look at other things in the box. Which are a USB type A to Type C cable forcharging and data transfer, and a 33 watt fast charging brick. Let me keep all these things aside, and letus take a better look at the phone. After removing the plastic and stickers atthe back, I like how this colour looks.
Ahere’s that 108 megapixel camera, inthis very densely populated camera module. Then there is Mi and 5G branding at the bottomof this very reflective back. Taking a quick look around this Mi 10, atthe bottom, there is a speaker grill, a microphone, USB type C port for charging and data transfer,and finally a SIM tray. This SIM tray can hold 2 nano SIM cards. It is not even a hybrid slot, so there isno way to expand the storage on this phone later on. On the right side, there are the Power andvolume up and down buttons.
As thin as these buttons are, they are veryrigid. At the top, there is a secondary noise cancellingmicrophone, an IR blaster, and a second speaker grill for stereo sound. And on the left side, there is nothing butthe antenna band. At the front there is this massive 6.67 inchsuper AMOLED display, with a resolution of 2340x1080 pixels. This display supports a 90Hz refresh rate,and HDR 10+. There is a dot notch on the top left for the20 megapixel selfie camera. It gets an in-display fingerprint sensor. While it is not the fastest one I have used,It is pretty accurate.
Coming back to the camera, primary one getsa mammoth 108 megapixel sensor with a wide F/1.7 aperture and OIS. This camera is one of the reasons I decidedto get this phone. It can shoot videos in 8K resolution. Let that sink in for a bit. This is the only phone coming in at Rs.50Kwhich gets this feature. Samsung Galaxy S20 is the other phone thatcan do this, and it costs Rs.20K more than the Mi 10. Next camera, gets a 13 megapixel sensor withF/2.4 aperture and 12mm ultra-wide lens. Then there are a couple of 2 megapixel cameraswith F/2.4 aperture. One of these gets a macro lens and the otherone is just a depth sensor. I am looking forward to and actually veryexited to test these cameras out.
Make sure you are subscribed to the channeland have the notifications turned on, because you won’t want to miss its dedicated camerareview, and comparison with other phones like the iPhone 11 Pro and the OnePlus 8 Pro. On the inside, Mi 10 gets the heart of thekings. It packs in the Snapdragon 865 Processor withAdreno 650 GPU. You get to choose between the 8GB LPDDR5 RAMand 128GB or 256GB UFS3.0 storage. You don’t get to expand the storage downthe line, so keep that in mind while deciding on the storage variant. There is a 4780mAh battery to power this Mi10, and when its time to juice it up, it supports 30watt wired and wireless charging.
It is also capable of delivering 10watt reversewireless charging. It is running on the latest version of MIUI11 built on top of Android 10. If you have seen my previous videos aboutXiaomi or Redmi phones, you know that I am not the biggest fan of MIUI. But I am again willing to give it a try forthe next few week. I’ve had this phone for less than a day,so I can’t really say much about its overall performance or battery life. I’ll have more to say about this in my fullreview. What I can tell you now, is this phone looksand feels amazing in the hands. It is a bit taller, but it’s not as wideas some other large phones, so it is much easier to hold on to. That is it for now, If you are looking tobuy the Mi 10, I will leave a link to it in the description section, and you can get itfrom Amazon. That is it for this video guys.
