Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Pro: 5 facts about an attractive smartphone with five cameras

1. Look like Mi Note 10

Visually, Mi Note 10 Pro is a copy of a less advanced version: the large model lies confidently in the hand and looks decent. You can choose one of three colors of the glossy body: black, green or white, turning into a delicate blue. It is better to pay attention to the lighter body: stains and fingerprints are less noticeable on it.

On the back side there are five cameras, the main of which is 108 megapixels. The front-end was placed in a teardrop-shaped cutout.

The smartphone has small and not too noticeable frames. The 6.4-inch curved 3D ‑ AMOLED display is responsible for the clarity and depth of the image. You need to get used to it (fingers will slide off more than once). But, if you get used to it, watching the video will become a holiday: the viewer is literally immersed in the plot of the video.

At the bottom are the USB Type-C charging connector and headphones. On the right side is the power and volume buttons.

The phone weighs a little over 200 g - you can't call it heavy. However, like the Mi Note 10, which weighs the same.

2. Pictures are better than on Mi Note 10. But not much

The "proshka" has five special modules for different genres of shooting. By default, the smartphone shoots at 27 megapixels, but it's much more interesting to switch to 108 megapixels - the camera promises better and more detailed photos. Also included are 5- and 12-megapixel telephoto modules, a 20-megapixel wide-angle camera and a macro module.

A slight difference from Mi Note 10, which has the same set of cameras: the Pro version has a lens with eight lenses, and not seven, like the “dozen”. This means that it shoots a little sharper and is more sensitive to light. But if you are not the leader of the ancient Indian tribe Hawkeye, then the difference will not seem too noticeable.

When shooting at 108 megapixels, the phone slows down a bit, but you quickly get used to it. The frames are voluminous, the colors are natural. It is best, of course, to photograph in daylight.

However, even if you stay at the standard 27 megapixels, the picture quality will not disappoint. The 32 megapixel selfie camera shoots well even at dusk.

3. Large amount of memory

Much more significant difference between Pro and "ten" is an impressive amount of memory: 8 GB of built-in and 256 GB storage versus 6 and 128 GB for Mi Note 10.

At the same time, there is still an eight-core Snapdragon 730G processor inside - not that Atlant has straightened his shoulders, but a completely successful solution for everyday tasks. During the editorial test, Mi Note 10 warmed up like hell, but there was no such problem with the "firmware": the model worked normally during games, and while watching videos on YouTube, and during shooting.

4. Fast charging

The phone received a battery with an impressive capacity of 5 260 mAh. The model supports fast charging: in half an hour, the smartphone charges up to about 50%. At the same time, Mi Note 10 Pro can function without additional recharge for about two days.

5. Price is above average

To summarize: Mi Note 10 Pro is a decent model with five cameras, light-sensitive lens, fast charging support and plenty of memory. At the same time, the smartphone has a non-flagship processor and not the most familiar screen with curved edges, to which you have to adapt. In fact, we have a counterpart of Mi Note 10 with a minimal difference in characteristics and a plus in the form of additional gigabytes.

The cost of the models does not differ too much: prices for Mi Note 10 start at 39,990 rubles, for Mi Note 10 Pro - from 43,990 rubles. Both smartphones are above average, but in the case of a "bug", the spending seems a little more justified, and during the editorial test, fewer questions arose for him than for the Mi Note 10.
