Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite Review, Better Than the Mi Note 10!? By GSMDome

Hi guys this is GUN, on. com, and I'm. Here, with the show me note, 10 light so the minute 10 impressed us last year, and now we have the minutes, 10 light less camera, protrusion, still a huge battery inside and very much the same screen and CPU. Now what this handset should be priced at a pretty affordable rate should be priced around $400 and maybe even 300 in some countries, which is a pretty good deal and I haven't seen very many reviews of it online. So let us indulge you with it. Show me note: 10 light.

Okay, so first things: first, it's got pretty much the same footprint as the note.10, however, we don't have a camera protrusion, it still made of glass. There is glass at the back that have glass at the front and, as you can see, these slabs of glass are pretty curved. The thickness is nine point: seven millimeters, which is a bit on the chunky side and the way it is 204 grams, which, by the way, is four grams less than the full me note, then the thickness is the same. Now, aside from that, I should mention that the phone is pretty easy to handle. If you have a bigger hand, maybe not the easiest one-hand usage in the world, as you can see me struggling to reach the top side of it.

The buttons offer a pretty good feedback when pressing them be the volume buttons or power button, and the handset itself feels like a premium affair, even though it doesn't have a premium price. The back side, at least in this color hue, draw us a bit of fingerprints, but maybe not as many as one would expect. The grip is decent, and it's a pretty big phone, but it has the advantage of having well distributed weight. So it sits quite well in your hand, assess on that. You should know that Guevara class 5 protection, both at the front side and the back side, so scratches, will not be a major issue now I'm here to talk to you about display.

The display here is a 6 point: 47 inch, 3d curved AMOLED. This amulet has some pretty narrow, bezels and the resolution of 2340 over 1080 pixels. The very same screen that we have here comes with the promise of 600 tenets of brightness, at least on paper, and also DCPIP, three colors and age, the art and support, which is pretty important if you want to really enjoy content with a wide range of colors. Okay. Now, let's get to some video watching to properly test the screen, so I'm going to watch some 4k HDR content getting rid of the volume- and this is the clip.

Let me do the setup, and here we go okay. So one thing that bothers me here when watching full screen content is the notch I've seen bigger notches before, but I have gotten accustomed to punching hole cameras, so this thing here may feel bothersome at times the actual viewing experience is quite satisfying color, wise, brightness, wise and contrast wise, even the full sunlight of the summer, which has just begun. So the screen is satisfying in all regards view, angles included I'm not going to leave you like this with just my impressions. We have tools to measure everything here and first, we put the screen under the microscope and discover a pixel arrangement of the gentile matrix variety. We also get a brightness test here on our system side and achieved 558 locks.

The units, as you can see, it's appear by one locks to the one plus eight and also superior to several other high profile phones, a galaxy s, 20 series included, will be the minute. Then we beat the Motorola one zoom, the iPhone 811 and Google Pixel to excel to name just a few still is part of that performance. The one plastic and show me my ninety are brighter than it, and also, for example, a phone like the Xiaomi Redmi k, 20 pro premium in the end up with a satisfying screen, which you can obviously tweak from here in these settings, dept you go to display by to a brightness level, got your reading mode. You got your anti flicker mode which can be triggered from here, and you also got your dark mode text size, notch and status bar. You can actually hide a notch and a full-screen mode.

Okay, sir. We're done with the display were satisfied by it. Now we move further to other, greener pastures. I'm talking about the CPU. It's a familiar face.

You've seen it before this processor is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 G, also available on the Xiaomi me no 10, accompanied by six or eight gigabytes of RAM, and also 64 or 128 gigabyte storage, UFS 2.1. However, this time around we're not getting a micro SD card slot, we're also not getting lag so keep that mind. There's no lag here, and we played games just fine on a pretty high resolution and high level of details. We also did a bunch of benchmarks and pretty sure you are curious about that and let's see how things went in that regard. Okay, so benchmarks I'm, going to start off with a two to eight with a pretty respectable result.

We actually beat the show me note, 10 and also the Galaxy a 71, but we score below this, show me or Redmi Note 9 pro and also the Redmi Note a pro and the whole p40 light. Aside from that, we also did geek bench, big bench 5 in the multi-core test. As you can see, it beats the galaxy s 71 again and the minutes 10 again and several other forms like the Motorola one. So that's just one of the examples. It's below the Xperia note 3 pro 5 g and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 pro.

If you're wondering about the games, this is always relevant.3Dmark sling, shot extreme ES 3.1 with a pretty high score here, had pretty happy with the result. Galaxy is 71 galaxies, 80 bits, the show me minnow 10 and even the gaming intensive Redmi Note 8 pro so not bad lesser than whew a p40 light for some reason. Just so you know it beats the galaxy 51 by about 100 and K points. I'm talking about 100 K points, so performance, wise, I'm, happy with what we achieved here, and I'm, not even done. We also have some tests for the temperature.

This is the temperature achieved in benchmarks check this out. Only thirty-three point, two degrees Celsius. To me this is mind-blowing and in games even more just a mere thirty-one point. Eight degrees Celsius color me impressed color me impressed when it comes to the battery. If you've seen the minutes, then you know what to expect the Men 10 light also has a ginormous battery five thousand two hundred and sixteen million per hours, and once again it delivers in excellent fashion.

Now you should know that it comes the 30 watt charge and let's see what it delivers. So these are our battery test. When it comes to the video playback, the phone is third-placed. We've tested four hundred phones, basically over the years, and this is third-placed twenty-two hours and three minutes. It's crazy.

It beats everything it beats. One plus eight show me know ten, basically, everything you can imagine Galaxy Note enlighten Galaxy S10 right, which were also impressive. It only stays below two battery phones and the one above it. This one has five hours above it and has an eleven thousand William hour. Battery continuous usage is no small feat, as well sixth place with a very good duration of 16 hours and 19 minutes above the show-me meet and profile G Moto G 8 power, which is a battery phone.

Also, the Men 10 below the 1 plus 8 and Moto G 7 power, which is a battery phone still, the charging is not half bad full charge is done in one hour and six minutes, as you can see right here, one hour and six minutes and after thirty minutes, you're already at 51 percent one after one hour, there 98%, so I'm, totally blown away by the battery so far, combined with the screen we're getting a flagship level experience, if not better. Now that we're done with the battery, let's talk acoustics, we have a singular speaker here and, sadly, is placed to the left side. Not the right. We also have audio jack here being placed on the left. Side means you can cover it with your hand in landscape and muffle it, which is a bit of a bummer.

Now the equalizer only gets triggered when you insert headphones, and I'm going to insist on that very much, let's actually enjoy some well lit, enjoy some free music. This time, let's see what YouTube has to offer ohhh-kay dedicated website for that purpose and actually found a good tune a couple of days ago, this one okay, so you just witness the whole muffling thing. But aside from that I'm pretty happy with the experience the base was okay, the high notes were fine, the body doesn't vibrate. Excessively, the volume is okay and I, like particularly the guitar and percussion. That's the best thing that you're going to hear out of this speaker, whereas ? sure we also did some tests here or when it comes to the volume.

So we achieved a pretty impressive power when we did our typical test with an acoustic sample.92.6 decibel is what we achieved. It's definitely top ten material sixth place. We beat the Opp, find X, 2 and OAP 40 light. We score below the Motorola MOTO G, 7, + and Xperia v in games check this out.100.8 decibels, pretty impressive goes past the iPhone SE 2020 now goes past the galaxy s 20 and iPhone 11 stays below galaxy. A 51 and Huawei P 40 light the biggest rival that is phone probably has okay.

So finally, we have reached the camera. Department you've already noticed that we have a notch here for the selfie 16 megapixel shooter, which well takes full HD videos, just in case you're wondering but the back side. We have a quad camera setup with a pretty strong set of flashes. As you can see here, there are four flashes twelve of too soft and too strong flashes. So a camera setup goes like this.

We have a brand-new sensor, 64 megapixels, Sony, imx6 86 combines 4 pixels in 1, F, 1.89, aperture, there's an admin, a pixel ultra-wide camera in the mix. There is a family, pixel, both camera and a 2 megapixel camera as well, which should probably be used for the macros and things like that. Okay, so we also have laser focus aside from those so well has we also have face detection, autofocus. We also have our contrast, detection focus and for flashes and 4k thirty frames per second video capture. So quite a few options packed with you know not very expensive phone.

Interestingly, the phone before it the mean old ten had a crazy array, crazy setup, which involved to telephoto cameras. Here we don't even have singular one anyways. The camera interface includes stuff. Like document sprawl panorama a night portrayed, you can take full sixty-four megapixel shots and there was one interesting option. It was called vlog you've seen it in the unboxing.

You can take a series of predefined shots, video shots with various effects. Basically those are instagram-worthy. Okay, so here we are with the gallery of photos, I've taken on a very, very hot and sunny day. Okay, so one thing that all of these photos have in common is the fact that the colors are a bit more intense than I. Would like don't get me wrong.

There are many people who enjoy photos with intense colors. This particularly manifests if you're taking the ultra-wide shots, which are even more intense than the regular ones, keep in mind. We were lacking the telephoto camera. We only have the little zoom here, and it seems decent at first, even though sometimes it didn't deliver exactly to my expectations, several more shots here. I can guarantee you that this bridge and this tree weren't this intense when I took the photos, but, as you can tell, we have quite the amount of details so that Sony sensor is doing something right, and also the clarity is flagship worth.

This is what I tried my hand with the macro shots, I try to achieve them, and finally, this one actually got to it. I mean the macros here are good, but the road memorable, our galaxy 51 and a 71 produced memorable macros, several more shots, regular shot ultra-wide shot. This is actually read pretty well rendered, and this read becomes pink in the ultra-wide shot. Okay and several more attempts of attention macros- and this is where we start to play around with selfies and guess what I'm not very happy with the results. The first batch of selfies made my face too perfect.

I suppose there were some beauty effects, because everything is smooth. You do not see the pores and actually went into the options I dug into it, and I try to make the skin more realistic and well filled with pores. Now the book here is pretty solid, so the way my face is cut from the background is OK, provided that you don't apply effects to it actually apply. The effects to the body and I was underwhelmed, as you can see here, part of my face is cut, happens again, happens again and again so stay away from effects, otherwise the regular bucket should do you just fine and check this out how well my head is cut from the background. So when it comes to the surface and the Batch am happy with the results, it's better than the opal in o3 Pro 5 G, the Motorola H, there are no focusing problems here and the only drawback of the camera is well.

The colors are a bit too intense for my liking, something like a notch or two below would have been a bit better. Otherwise, the lighting, the clarity, the details are spot-on, and the problem intensifies with the colors when you're taking the ultra-wide shots. These are daytime captures. Let's go to the nighttime, okay, and they're, actually not that bad, so it handles light sources in a pretty ok manner. Billboard and all that pretty well calibrated the lighting at night.

The vegetation does appear to be a bit too green, but I've seen phones recently, which behave worse than this one and cost double. So there is also that take into account for a mid-range phone it handles its own quite well, I mean, of course, the ultra-wide camera will definitely distort the lamps. The focus is actually spot-on and details aren't bad and if you're using the main camera, even the lights remain okay, so it's actually one of the good ones it can easily fight. Our previous champion. Remember that the Huawei p40 light was excellent in low light, and this one can maybe pose some problems, but still they're fighting in the mid-range Department flagships can do a bit better.

Ok, so we're done with that. Now, if you want to talk about the videos I'm going to go to a separate area and as you can see a lot of videos, ok, so the most relevant one is stabilization 1. Here we go a decent microphone which sometimes gets bitten by the wind. If doing this, quite strong stabilization, as you can see, is not half bad, truly, not bad, and this also manifests in the selfie video also well stabilized. Having tested the Motorola edge recently, I feel that this Xiaomi phone actually handles selfie videos.

Better I know that the face is a bit too white, but it doesn't have those intense contrast, problems of the galaxy, a 51 and a 71 I know I'm, not shooting in 4k, but still I would say pretty solid for it, a self experience. This is one of my favorite videos. It's actually taken with the vlog mode. It's a collage of a few shots of a few seconds, simple, like a story on Instagram. So that's it.

Of course, there are more effects to apply, and even some crazy kaleidoscope effects. That's just one example: you can do a lot of things with this phone and I also tested the focus, accuracy and speed, which is once again solid. So I think that the only thing to try out here is well the set of colors. Just like the photos. There are a bit too intense and exposure is a bit high, but overall the clarity of the filming and the details are spot-on.

There is no refocus, even if you're panning fast. There are no problems with the image, so I'm actually pretty happy with the results and once again, some people like more vivid colors, the real surprise happen at night. We have a slug a snail. However, you want to call it check this out. This is shot with a 300 or $400 phone, and it's amazing I think it needs some fast for because you know, snails are well slow, but you have another one with all of its gooey nature.

This is a low-light, video, folks and I know a few flagships which would have a hard time taking such a video and even the other nighttime videos aren't bad check this out. Look at the streetlights look at the fountain look at the vegetation. This is a mid-range phone, not bad, not bad at all. Actually, I find it superior to the Motorola edge and hopefully, no tree profile. G.

Keep that in mind. Okay, so the low-light video capture was a bit of a surprise, but in general, remember of the colors are too strong in photos and videos. Let's talk about connectivity, okay, so this is a 4G phone with dual SIM NATO SIM card slots. It also has an infrared emitter here at the top side used to control, TV sets set-top boxes, air conditioners, smart fridges, whatever there's Wi-Fi dual-band onboard, that is Bluetooth 5.0, GPS GLASS, Galileo, BDS NFC, and a USB-C port on the bottom plus the audio jack. Here it's pretty well around the dot.

When it comes to connectivity, you can see here. We also have Wi-Fi options, Bluetooth, VPN connection and sharing you can do casting you can do. Printing private DNS, NFC confirmed and let's see how we did in the test. Department there is an app called spit test from a company called Oakland, and we're using it to measure the prowess of the 4G and Wi-Fi connectivity. These are the results we achieved on Wi-Fi 266 mega per second download, we're doing fine on upload twenty-four point: nine once again, fine on 4G, solid 196 over 67.

These are flagship values once again on a mid-range phone. The software experiences. This is Android 10 with me. Why 11, if you've seen our other reviews of Xiaomi phones from this year, you know exactly what to expect. The leftmost area is dedicated to news and stuff from Google.

The multitasking happened like this, with two columns and a few options to clean stuff up, cleaner security scan, deep, clean and so forth. The drop-down area is clean and once again inspired ever since I always said when everybody's been copying, the scale perfect thing: notifications, quick settings which include the dark mode screen recorder and do not disturb if you pinch the screen you're going to the widgets which are transparent and white, just like these Samsung one, you once okay, aside from that I, don't think we've missed anything. So we got a minimalistic experience. We got typical settings and shortcuts here got your digital well-being and parental control. We also have a button shortcuts quick board, one handed mode and a special enterprise mode, believe it or not.

There are special features here for game ones, that is, game turbo, which lets you boost certain games, quick replies, and also we have second space. Basically, it's like having a new phone on this phone like separate profile assault for security. We have the fingerprints within the screen, as you can see, not the fastest in the world, but I've combined it with the face unlock. So it is both my face and the finger and works a bit faster with that the face is not a secure, lacking the special infrared detector. Now the pre-installed apps they're, pretty straightforward the fair, not much bloater.

Here we have the remote, which you can use to control stuff using the infrared emitter and set from that well other useful applications. You can see here the control set of things my favorite app has got to be security. It's got a pretty impressive amount of things. It can do. Cleaner security scan battery and performance boost, speed, manage apps, deep, clean Facebook, cleaner, solve problems, game, speed, data usage, block list second space.

So basically, this is your hub for making the device run better and faster in the future when it may get stuck. Okay, so enough is enough. I've talked a lot about this handset. Let's go to our website and recap everything it's time for the pros and cons on the pro side. This phone has a fantastic battery.

Easily gives you two days of usage: it's got a good performance, beating the galaxy, a model from this year, the best ones. It's got a very bright screen, which is also crisp and lovely to play. Games on to watch videos on whatever you want, there's fast connectivity, I would say: the stabilization is OK when taking videos. Selfies are nice. Both is nice without effects surprising, low-light capture, okay, 4k videos, cute of vlogging effects, pretty loud, acoustics and well.

I would say that's about it and me why I got an accustomed to it. It also has an app drawer. Now, on the con side, no ip68, no stereo speakers, no wireless charging, no micro SD. Some photos are to reveal it colors and a bit too bright for my liking and the both cut your face. If you are applying to special effects, the zoom is underwhelming because we're not have a telephoto camera.

The macro is not memorable and the back side draws some fingerprints, that's about it for a tree hunt $400 for you're getting quite a lot with some aspects beating flagships, I will say it again. This can even be a problematic rival for expensive phones like the Motorola edge and the wall. Poor e note 3 pro 5g, which cost two or three times more, so there's that I would say that, aside from the color calibration of the photos and videos, this phone doesn't have defects. So that's a big thing to remember the minute, then of ahead of it was excellent. The Men 10 light is perhaps even better, even without a cool telephoto cameras, so this has been a review from Jason on at home.

What we help you with the decision to buy, skip or expect. The future of this show me series this: is it from us bye, bye,.
