Mi Note 10 Lite overview

In Kenya, the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite is priced at 38,500 Kenya shillings. This is the price for the base model of a device that could easily be another hit for Xiaomi. It has high-end specs as we’ve come to know of the brand. Let’s take a look at what comes inside the packaging. We start with the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite itself. We have the configuration with 6 gigabytes of Ram and 64 gigabytes of storage.

This is the variant that we suggest you get. If you can spare the bump up in price,you then have the usual suspects. A clear jelly case from some protection, the documentation, the USB-C cable, and lastly, you have the fast charger. That’s pretty much it now for a closer look at the phone.

Ergonomics

The first time you hold the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 lite in your hands it will feel like galaxy S10 plus. Now, the camera array is more in line with what we’ve been seeing for this year’s design trend. But everything else from the particular colorway that we have, to it, ‘s the curve that it has on both the front and the screen, not to mention the premium build quality this phone has. It just feels very Samsung. Compared to the Galaxy S10 and other mid-range devices this phone is a lot heavier and a lot thicker as well, but you honestly won’t mind it. It handles like a charm and the added weight kind of makes me more mindful of the phone. So the chances that I will drop.

Mi Note 10 Lite OS

Under the hood of the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G processor paired with 6 gigabytes of Ram and 64gigabytes of storage. Now, despite being up in its name and convention, you’re getting slightly more out of the 720G that’s on the Note 9S according to benchmarks. But what’s important is the real-life performance where the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite can handle just as much as it’s brethren pretty smoothly. Of course, for software, you have MiUI 11 on top of Android, 10. That’s pretty much it for your quick look at the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite. Again, the starting price for Mi Note 10 Lite in Kenya is 46,500 Kenya shillings for the base model.

So it may be Lite in name, but Xiaomi brought some flagship flare to this phone in terms of its overall build. For the button and port layout. Everything is pretty much on the right side. You have the power button, the volume rocker, and access the SIM tray. On top, you have a microphone and an IR blaster. And on the bottom is the speaker grill, another mic, the USB-C port, and of course the headphone jack.

Display

For Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite display, it features a 6.47 inch full HD plus AMOLED display. And as I said earlier, there’s a bit of a curve to it. Not exactly waterfall levels on some of the other flagship that we’ve seen this year, but still noticeable. And again, it just adds to the overall ergonomics of the phone. Picture. Quality is pretty much par for the course or what you would expect in this type of panel with vibrant colors that have a good canvas since the contrast ratio is also on point. Of course, with an AMOLED display, you’re also getting an in-display fingerprint scanner. It unlocks the phone at a fairly decent speed as well. On top of the display, you do have a tiny notch that houses the 16-megapixel camera and an aperture of F2.5.

Video recording

If you’re planning to vlog with this phone, you can shoot videos up to 1080p at 30 FPS using the front camera. Now on the back, of course, you have the quad-camera set up in a vertical orientation. And as I mentioned earlier, it looks closer to the design of the arrays we’ve been seeing on flagship devices. But if you notice there are also two flash modules to go along with it, the camera set up consists of a 64-megapixel main shooter at F 1.8, backed by a Sony IMX 686 sensor. You have an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera, a 5-megapixel macro camp, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.

For its video capabilities, the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite and shoot up to 4K at 30fps. From the quick trial we’ve done so far, the output looks pretty good and stable, but it might not do so well when shooting at night. Xiaomi also included a blog feature on this phone, which helps you put together a couple of clips to spice up your videos. This is something that you want to try out especially while in quarantine.

Battery

To keep the lights on for this device. You’ve got a 5260 mAh battery, just like most of the newer Xiaomi phones that we’ve been seeing. But this supports 30-watt fast charging. So you can top up that massive battery capacity a lot quicker. If you’re looking for more premium features than what is on the Note 9S especially when it comes to the screen, keep an eye out for this one. So there you have it. (see Infinix Note 7)
