Xiaomi just launched the Lite version of the Mi Note 10 in the global market. It came just two months after the Lite version of the Mi 10 and it is impossible for us not to compare these two devices due to their similar specifications and prices. We also brought another interesting device in this “Lite” comparison: Oppo Find X2 Lite. In each case, we are talking about upper-midrange handsets coming with advanced specs sheets, but they are not flagships and they are focused on value for money. Which has the highest value and which is worth the money asked? This specs comparison between Mi Note 10 Lite, Mi 10 Lite, and Oppo Find X2 Lite will clear your idea.

Design

If we consider aesthetics, my favorite handset here is the Oppo Find X2 Lite. It offers a very thin and lighter design, as well as a less invasive camera module on the rear side making it more minimalistic. It is equipped with a glass back and an aluminum frame for a premium look. Definitely a beautiful device, like every handset from the Find X2 series. But with its curved display edges, Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite remains a very elegant and futuristic device. Even the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite has a great design, it features a flat display but a smaller camera module than Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite on the back. All of these devices come with an in-display fingerprint reader.

 

Display

On the paper, Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite offers a more interesting display. The panel is HDR10-compliant, so it may provide a richer image quality, even while streaming content. On the other hand, Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite offers a wider diagonal. Thanks to its smaller display, Oppo Find X2 Lite is slightly more compact. Do not underestimate it: unfortunately, we still had no chance to test that display, but Oppo usually equips its handsets with great panels.

 

Hardware/Software

Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite and Oppo Find X2 Lite offer a stronger hardware thanks to the Snapdragon 765G mobile platform. Unlike the Mi Note 10 Lite, they support 5G networks thanks to a 5G integrated modem. You should get very similar high-end performances with Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite and Oppo Find X2 Lite, but the former has a micro SD slot to expand the internal storage, while the latter does not. Android 10 is installed out of the box on all of these smartphones.

 

Camera

Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite, Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite, and Oppo Find X2 Pro are midrange camera phones. Oppo Find X2 Lite looks more convincing with its bright focal aperture and an amazing selfie camera. But Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite and Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite’s quad-cameras are great as well. You should get a similar photo quality, judging by the camera specs.

 

Battery

Due to its mammoth 5260 mAh battery, Mi Note 10 Lite will most likely offer a way longer battery life than Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite and Oppo Find X2 Lite with all the usage patterns. Also consider that Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite does not support 5G, so it is even more efficient. It also comes with a fast 30W charging technology, but the 30W fast charging found on the Oppo Find X2 Lite will charge it faster because the battery is smaller.

 

Price

The global price of the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite and Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite ranges from €350/$383 to €400/$438, while Oppo Find X2 Lite starts from €499/$546. On the paper, Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite looks more gorgeous due to its huge battery, but it lacks 5G support and it has an inferior chipset. Oppo Find X2 Lite offers an amazing and compact design, great cameras, and faster charging and Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite is more or less at the same level (slightly bigger battery, potentially inferior cameras). Which one would you pick?
