The three-device series includes the Mi 10, Mi 10T Pro, and Mi 10T Lite. Both the 10T and 10T Pro offer an astounding 144Hz refresh rate – previously only seen in gaming phones – a top-tier Snapdragon 865 chip, and a massive 5000mAh battery (with 33 fast charging). Despite these flagship-level features, Xiaomi still manages to keep the phones at mid-range prices.
The 10T Pro headlines with a 108Mp rear camera and a 30x digital zoom, while the standard 10T offers a 64Mp main camera. Both feature 13Mp ultra-wide and 5Mp macro lens. Our Editor in Chief, Marie Black, was able to get her hands on the 10T Pro – here’s her full review.
As for the Mi 10T Lite, you still get an impressive 120Hz display, but the processor drops to a Snapdragon 750G. See our full guide to the Mi 10T series to learn more about what each phone offers.
