Xiaomi is actively rolling out its new HyperOS operating system to all of the eligible devices. After recently rolling out the update to the POCO X4 GT, the brand has now made the update available for global users of the Mi 10 Pro.

The Mi 10 Pro is more than four years old at this point as it made its debut in February 2020. The smartphone was launched with Android 10 onboard and received Android 13 as its last update. That being said, the brand has decided to treat users with the HyperOS update. That being said, there is a catch. HyperOS is the brand’s latest software based on Android 14. However, older devices like the Mi 10 Pro are getting an Android 13-based HyperOS build. Nonetheless, there are many improvements with this update which comes with firmware version 1.0.1.0.TJAEUXM.

The post Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro HyperOS update now available globally appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Xiaomi Mi 10 series from 2020 will get HyperOS update. This piece of information was recently revealed by Zhang Guoquan, director of Xioami’s mobile system software department.

As per the executive, the update will arrive in April. Although he does not specify, the initial release should be limited to beta testers.

The users of the Xiaomi Mi 10 series are some of the luckiest. These devices, namely Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, and Mi 10 Ultra were not part of Xiaomi’s 2021 software policy, which promises 3 Android updates.

Despite that, the aforementioned smartphones received their third Android update (Android 13) last year along with MIUI 14. For the unaware, they were released with Android 10.

Now, according to a company official, the Mi 10 and the Mi 10 Pro, which were introduced with MIUI 11, will be treated to their fourth major software in the form of HyperOS. The same update will be the third major one for Mi 10 Ultra as it was launched with MIUI 12.

However, the HyperOS update for the Mi 10 series may not bring Android 14. Because HyperOS for older phones is based on Android 13.

We will keep you posted whenever new details emerge regarding the HyperOS update for Mi 10 phones. Meanwhile, you can read our story on how hyperOS differs from MIUI.

Fans of Xiaomi, rejoice! Xiaomi has announced that the MIUI 14 build is now available for testing on the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro. This new version of the popular mobile operating system includes a slew of new features and enhancements aimed to enhance your user experience. As the testing has started, we may soon get to witness the stable rollout of the build to a broader audience.

Zhang Guoquan is Xiaomi’s director of mobile phone system software. He previously stated on Weibo that the MIUI 14 update for the Mi 10 series would be out this week. He also stated that the software builds will begin to be tested the following week. And same is happening now, the tester’s build is now available for the devices.

The testing build of MIUI 14 for the Mi 10 comes with the build number 14.0.2.0.TJBCNXM. The update weighs a whopping 4.0GB in size. The size should be obvious as this is a major update and it does bring many changes and overhauls to the device.

The first thing you’ll notice about MIUI 14 is its updated visual design, which offers the operating system a more modern look and feel. The interface has been updated to incorporate a dark option that allows users to simply switch between light and dark themes without having to manually adjust settings each time they want to change their theme preference. There are also new privacy safeguards in place to ensure that users’ data remains secure when using the device’s many functionalities.

Finally, Xiaomi has incorporated some fun additions like animated wallpapers that will animate across your home screen depending on the type of content you’re viewing at the time. These animations offer an added degree of involvement to your phone interactions, making them more entertaining overall!

Overall, we believe this latest version from Xiaomi is well worth checking out if you own either one (or both) of these devices – especially if you’re seeking something streamlined yet filled with essential features!

In early December, Xiaomi confirmed that it will deliver MIUI 14 update for the Mi 10 series. A few days later, the company also revealed that the update will be based on Android 13 for the vanilla and the pro model.

Two months later in February, a Chinese certification agency revealed that even the Mi 10 Lite will be blessed with the MIUI 14 update. A month after that, a Xiaomi exec now officially updates us on the status of the system update for these handsets.

Zhang Guoquan is the director of Xiaomi’s mobile phone system software department. Earlier today, he revealed on Weibo that the MIUI 14 update for the Mi 10 series will be ready by this week. He also noted that the software builds will be tested starting next week.

Therefore, we can expect the company to roll out the update to closed beta testers in China very soon. As per a certification, the update should be available for the general public as early as April.

For the unaware, MIUI 14 is the third major MIUI update for these smartphones. All three of them debuted with MIUI 11 based on Android 10.

The MIUI 14 update for the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro will also bring along Android 13. Thus, they will be receiving their Android update as well. On the other hand, it’s not known whether the latest MUI update will bump up the Android version for the Mi 10 Lite.

Earlier this month, the head of MIUI confirmed that MIUI 14 will be released for the Mi 10 series. Now, a little over a week after the announcement of the latest software, the executive reveals more details.

He not only hints at the devices that will be receiving the update but also shares a rough timeline for the rollout. Most importantly, he confirms the Android upgrade. Let’s go through his statement.

Earlier today, Zhang Guoquan, director of Xiaomi‘s System Software Department, answered multiple frequently asked questions on MIUI 14. One of these answers provides more details on the availability of the newest MIUI for the Mi 10 series.

The executive says that the MIUI 14 update for the Mi 10 series will be based on Android 13. We previously thought that Xiaomi may release the latest MIUI with Android 12 for these phones.

But unfortunately, this update will be only available for devices powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 platform. This means only Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, and Mi 10 Ultra will get access to MIUI 13 based on Android 13.

Thus, the aforementioned smartphones will be receiving their third Android update though they don’t come under the new software update policy introduced by Xiaomi for select devices last year.

As far as the rollout is concerned, the executive suggests that there could be some delay due to the surge in COVID-19 cases in China. However, he believes that the update should arrive by March 2023.

Unfortunately, he doesn’t talk about the availability of the MIUI 14 update for the remaining two Mi 10 series devices, namely Mi 10 Lite and Mi 10 Lite Zoom. Hence, these phones may not get the update. Even if they receive it, the software will be likely based on Android 12.

The post MIUI 14 for Mi 10 Series Will be Based on Android 13: Official appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi was supposed to unveil MIUI 14 alongside the Xiaomi 13 series last week. The launch conference still remains postponed with no new date.

However, details about these unreleased products continue to emerge on the internet. A few days back, one of the company executives confirmed MIUI 14 support for certain old smartphones.

Zhang Guoquan is the director of Xiaomi‘s System Software Department. On November 28, while replying to a Weibo comment, the exec confirmed the availability of the MIUI 14 update for the Mi 10 series.

Unfortunately, he did not clarify the exact models. But did mention that the update will arrive later.

For the unaware, the Mi 10 series originally includes five phones, namely Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, Mi 10 Lite, Mi 10 Lite Zoom, and Mi 10 Ultra. Going by the subsequent comments, the exec is most likely talking about the Mi 10 and the Mi 10 Pro but the others might also receive the update.

All of these handsets were released in 2020 with Android 10 onboard. The Mi 10 Ultra debuted with MIUI 12, while the remaining models shipped with MIUI 11.

Over the last two years, these devices were updated to Android 11 and Android 12. They also received multiple MIUI updates, such as MIUI 12.5, MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition, and MIUI 13.

Therefore, MIUI 14 will be the third major software update for these smartphones, except for Mi 10 Ultra. Unfortunately, we don’t think they will get an upgrade to Android 13 as they don’t fall under the latest update policy introduced for the newer models.

Xiaomi is slated to release a mid-year update for its Chinese devices currently running on MIUI 13 in the second half of 2022. Dubbed the H2 2022 MIUI 13 Mid-Year update, the update is expected to bring many software features we’ve seen from recent Xiaomi releases like the Xiaomi 12 lineup, and the Redmi K50 series, as well as stability improvements. 

However, Xiaomi recently published on its MIUI Forum in China that it will be dropping many devices from its MIUI 13 (China Version) Open Beta programme from July 18th, 2022 onwards, and several of these devices include Xiaomi flagships equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset. 

The devices dropped from the aforementioned list are the:

• Xiaomi CC9 Pro
• Xiaomi Mi 10
• Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro
• Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth Edition
• Redmi K30
• Redmi K30 5G
• Redmi K30i 5G
• Redmi K30 Pro 5G

Normally devices dropped from the MIUI Beta Programme will not be receiving any more Android OS upgrades(MIUI 14 based on Android 13). However, the devices will still be eligible for another MIUI upgrade(i.e. MIUI 14 based on Android 12) and another year of security updates from Xiaomi.

The devices listed above were initially launched with MIUI 11 based on Android 10 out of the box in early 2020, and all of them have recently been updated to MIUI 13 based on Android 12. 

According to Xiaomi‘s track record, providing 2 years of Android OS upgrades and 3 years of security updates to its flagships is quite common. However, ever since the launch of the Xiaomi 11T series, the brand has promised to provide 3 years of Android OS upgrades and 4 years of security updates to its flagships launched after the Xiaomi 11T series which include the Xiaomi 12 series and Redmi K50 series as well.

Xiaomi has been rolling out MIUI 13 update for eligible devices ever since it announced the latest iteration of its mobile software. The company has now started delivering the stable release to four of its flagship smartphones from 2020. These handsets are Mi 10 Pro, Mi 10, Redmi K30 Pro, and Redmi K30S Ultra.

Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has begun to roll out MIUI 13 stable update for the following smartphones in its home country China. Apart from bringing the fresh version of MIUI, the new system update for these phones also arrives with Android 12.

Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro

• Codename: cmi
• MIUI 13 Stable: V13.0.2.0.SJACNXM
• Region: China

Xiaomi Mi 10

• Codename: umi
• MIUI 13 Stable: V13.0.3.0.SJBCNXM
• Region: China

Redmi K30 Pro

• Codename: lmi
• MIUI 13 Stable: V13.0.1.0.SJKCNXM
• Region: China

Redmi K30S Ultra

• Codename: apollo
• MIUI 13 Stable: V13.0.1.0.SJDCNXM
• Region: China

The aforementioned software builds are being pushed in batches. Hence, they will take some time to reach every unit. Also, we expect Xiaomi to extend the availability of this update to other regional variants of these handsets in the coming days.

For the unaware, the Mi 10 and the Mi 10 Pro are known by their original names outside mainland China. Whereas, the Redmi K30 Pro goes by the name of POCO F2 Pro. Finally, there’s not an international version of the Redmi K30S Ultra.

Earlier this week, Xiaomi unveiled MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition at the Mi MIX 4 launch event. The first batch of eligible devices was supposed to start receiving the update from August 13. As promised, the company has begun to roll out the latest version of MIUI for a select few smartphones.

MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition is all about optimizations. Hence, it does not bring any features. However, it is worth noting that Xiaomi is separately testing iOS-like widgets.

According to the official announcement, a total of 12 premium Mi and Redmi-branded smartphones are part of the first batch of eligible devices for the new software. Out of these, as of writing this article, the update is available (1, 2, 3) for 6 of them

These handsets are Mi MIX 4, Mi 10 Pro, Mi 10S, Redmi K40, Redmi K30 Pro, and Redmi K30S Ultra. Unsurprisingly, the update is only live for the Chinese variant of these smartphones.

Since Xiaomi is yet to announce MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition for global markets, the international versions of these phones should be receiving this update only after that.

Having said that, Xiaomi has also started testing Android 12-based MIUI builds for some of its handsets. Also, the company has confirmed to release MIUI 13 by the end of 2021.

Google has been rolling out Android 12 Beta builds for Pixels since May. Many partner OEMs have also released beta builds for some of their handsets. However, most of the software builds by partner OEMs are pure AOSP with some additions. But we all know that the final public release for these phones will come with the respective company’s Android skin. Hence, it is not surprising to learn that Xiaomi has started testing MIUI based on Android 12.

Xiaomi is part of the Android 12 Beta program. The company has released Android 12 Beta for four devices, namely Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11, Mi 11X Pro, and Mi 11i. Now, the firm has begun to test MIUI based on the latest version of Android for some of its phones.

According to Xiaomiui (via PiunikaWeb), Xiaomi has started testing Android 12-based MIUI builds for the following smartphones.

• Mi 11 Ultra
• Mi 11 Pro
• Mi 10 Ultra
• Mi 10 Pro
• Mi 10
• Mi 10T Pro
• Mi 10T
• Redmi K30S Ultra

The firm started testing the upcoming version of Android with MIUI for the Mi 11 Ultra and the Mi 11 Pro last month itself. Anyway, the tests for the remaining handsets began only recently.

Unfortunately, it’s not known whether Xiaomi is working on Android 12 with MIUI 12.5 or MIUI 13. Hopefully, it’s the latter as users can get the next iteration of MIUI as well as Android together.

Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra was the first-ever smartphone to get the stable MIUI 12.5 update. Now, the remaining siblings of the series- Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro are getting it.

An OTA update with firmware version V12.5.3.0.RJBCNXM and V12.5.3.0.RJACNXM is rolling out to Xiaomi Mi 10, Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro respectively in China. Both the builds weigh about 4.0GB in size and it does bring the latest MIUI 12.5 stable based on Android 11 to the devices.

If you recall, Xiaomi started rolling out the stable MIUI 12.5 update to users in China a few days ago. As mentioned above, the Mi 10 Ultra and followed by other devices like the Mi 11, Mi 9 SE have got it recently.

Coming back, the update for the Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro also has the March 2021 security patch. Xiaomi launched the MIUI 12.5 back in December. The incremental UI has improvements like UI Design improvements, more Super wallpapers, improved privacy, haptics, MIUI+, uninstallable built-in apps, and more.

That said, the rollout is said to continue further and not stop with the flagships as Xiaomi has already revealed a list of 28 devices scheduled to get it in the first wave in China. When it comes to global markets, the Mi 11 is likely to get it soon, and followed by it, various devices are on the list.

As for the Mi 10 users elsewhere, do keep in mind that this rollout is only for China so you will have to wait till Xiaomi expands the regions for this stable update. And for the users in China, these particular builds are in ‘stable beta recovery’ so it should reach only a few for now before coming out as a wider rollout in the coming days.

The post Xiaomi Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro get the stable MIUI 12.5 update in China appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi was one of the few companies part of the official Android 11 Beta program. The world’s third-largest smartphone maker enrolled four devices namely Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, Redmi K30 Pro POCO F2 Pro for this initiative. Hence, these four handsets were also the first to receive MIUI 12 beta builds based on Android 11. Now, finally, the firm has started rolling out Android 11 stable update to these four phones.

The Mi 10 and the Mi 10 Pro are the 2020 flagship smartphones of Xiaomi. Similarly, Redmi K30 Pro is the flagship device from Redmi this year. The same phone is also sold as POCO F2 Pro in global markets as POCO’s best handset of 2020.

Therefore, it makes sense for these devices to get the Android 11 stable update first. But interestingly, the update is also live for the Indian version of Redmi Note 9 Pro, which is sold as Redmi Note 9S in other global markets.

That said, talking about the builds, Xiaomi finished the Android 11 stable rollout for Mi 10 in its home country China in the month of November itself. However, the builds for Mi 10 Pro and Redmi K30 Pro are still in the Stable Beta phase.

Talking about the international variants of these smartphones, Xiaomi has only completed the rollout for the Mi 10 Pro Global version. Whereas, builds released for all other regions are still in the Stable Beta phase.

In simpler words, the official Android 11 update for these phones is theoretically available worldwide. But it has been released only for select users. If these early adopters don’t face any major issues, the update will be soon rolled out to more users in the coming days.

Last year, DXOMARK, primarily known for camera reviews, published benchmarks for its audio performance of smartphones. It includes many testing parameters like Timbre, Spatial,  maximum volume, and its artifacts. The company has now published the audio performance of the recently launched iPhone 12. And it almost matches the top-scoring device in their list.

The iPhone 12 has obtained an overall audio score of 73 in the DXOMARK Audio test. This is a very slight improvement if we look at the 72 score of the iPhone 11. However, it manages to sneak into the top 10 list of DXOMARK smartphone audio rankings. Accordingly, it sits currently in sixth place just above the yesteryear Apple flagship, iPhone 11 Pro Max.

However, it surprisingly fails to secure a rank above the iPhone Xs Max and misses out just by a score of one. Xiaomi’s Mi 10 Pro currently tops the list with a score of 76. Talking about the audio performance of the iPhone 12, DXOMARK says it offers an overall good performance albeit not bringing that big of a change from iPhone 11. You can take a look at the audio hardware(specifications), features of iPhone 12 below:

• 2xSpeakers(1-Bottom, 1-Top)
• 2xMicrophones(1-Primary,1-Secondary) with NC(Noise Cancellation)
• Audio Zoom
• Dolby Atmos Surround Sound

That said, the iPhone 12 scores 73 in both the audio and playback sections. As per the report, it performs well in subcategories like Timbre, and spatial rendering. It also seems to have a good and satisfying maximum volume.

Audio: Pros and Cons

The highlight of the speakers is reportedly seen in Gaming mode with a little help from the proper placement of speakers. Similarly, in recording tests, it shows good character with frequency response, punchy sounds with good attributes, and loudness. The recordings also have natural effects.

However, its drawbacks are few distortions while playing audio in the low spectrum. Plus, the device’s microphone placement is a bit obstructive at times. And recordings have modest distortion at times in loud volumes. The device also performs badly in Artifacts(sudden unwanted sound) and DXOMARK says it’s due to the heavy compression of the iPhone 12.

To sum up, if you look at the pros, it has excellent timbre, a wider sound stage, good loudness. But has Cons like high-volume distortion(Playback & recording), inverted channels in landscape mode, and obstructing microphone placements.

The Mi 10 Pro 5G was one of two flagships that Xiaomi announced in the first half of the year. The phone packed better cameras and a faster charging technology than the standard model. Eight months after its release, it appears Xiaomi has discontinued the flagship.

If you check the official Xiaomi China website now, the Mi 10 Pro is no longer listed among the Mi phones for sale. The current lineup of phones includes the Mi 10 Ultra, the Mi 10 5G, the Mi 10 Youth Edition, and the Mi MIX Alpha. The absence of the Mi 10 Pro leads us to believe that Xiaomi has discontinued the phone in China.

Chinese blog, ITHome, also reports that the phone is listed as “Out of Stock” on Xiaomi’s official stores on Tmall and Jingdong. We also checked the Youpin store and found that the phone is no longer available there too. However, the phone is still available for purchase in other countries where it was launched.

The Mi 10 Pro 5G was announced in mid-February. It packed a 6.67-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a hole in the top left corner of the screen for a selfie camera. Powered by the Snapdragon 865 processor, the phone was made available in multiple variants with the highest configuration having 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

For its cameras, the Mi 10 Pro 5G had a 108MP primary rear camera with OIS. It also had a 12MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom, a second 8MP telephoto camera with OIS and 10x hybrid zoom, and a 20MP ultrawide angle camera. The selfie camera was a 20MP sensor.

Other features of the Mi 10 Pro 5G include an in-display fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, NFC, IR blaster, and a 4500mAh battery with support for 50W fast wired charging and 30W fast wireless charging.

Earlier this week, Google officially released Android 11 by rolling out the stable builds to Pixels and uploading the source code to the AOSP. On the very same day, OPPO and realme started recruiting beta testers for its devices and even seeded out builds for some. Similarly, OnePlus also released OxygenOS 11 Open Beta 1 for any OnePlus 8/8 Pro users to try out. Now, Xiaomi, on the other hand, has started seeding Android 11 Stable Beta to Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, and Redmi K30 Pro in China.

Unlike other OEMs, Xiaomi has been releasing MIUI 12 weekly builds based on Android 11 for four of its smartphones for a while now. These devices are Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, Redmi K30 Pro, and Mi CC9 Pro. Recently, even Redmi K30 5G and Redmi 10X Pro started receiving similar builds.

Now, the handsets that were part of official Android 11 Beta program – Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, and Redmi K30 Pro have begun to get “Stable Beta” builds in China. In case you are not aware of, these type of builds are actually stable update seeded out to a few set of users. If these users find no issue, the rollout will be extended to more users and the same build will be then simply called “Stable”.

According to the Telegram channel called @xiaomiui, similar builds are also available for the global variant of Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro. However, POCO F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) is yet to receive any other build other than China.

• Xiaomi Mi 10

  • China – V12.1.3.0.RJBCNXM
  • Global – V12.1.2.0.RJBMIXM

• Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro

  • China – V12.1.2.0.RJACNXM
  • Global – V12.1.2.0.RJAMIXM

• Redmi K30 Pro/Redmi K30 Pro Zoom Edition/POCO F2 Pro

  • China – V12.1.2.0.RJKCNXM

That said, since the Android 11 stable rollout has now started for these devices in China, we can expect Xiaomi to complete the rollout for the regional versions of these three devices by the end of this month if everything goes right.

Usually, most of the news related to Xiaomi is about the company launching a new product. For a change, the company’s CEO has shared his list of three favorite smartphones instead of teasing a new product for launch.

Leu Jun, Chairman and CEO of Xiaomi has listed the Mi MIX 2 smartphone as his most favorite. He adds that the phone has a ceramic body and is the first flagship smartphone in the world to have a unibody ceramic design.

EDITOR’S PICK: Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus flagship chipset to reportedly launch in July 2020

One of the reasons behind this being his favorite is the process of getting it made. He says that each piece of unibody ceramic must be sintered at 1400-degree Celsius for seven days and involves some other processes as well.

The second smartphone in the list is the Xiaomi Mi 6 Bright Silver Discovery Edition. He goes on to explain that the phone has a vacuum-plated glass back shell and can be used as a mirror. The bright stainless steel frame gives the phone an excellent look and feel.

Lei Jun has mentioned Mi 10 Pro as the third favorite smartphone, which is the company’s first flagship smartphone to be available globally. He adds that with the Mi 10 Pro, Xiaomi hasn’t focused on reducing cost but has instead focused on providing the ultimate experience for those who are looking for a high-end smartphone.

Following OPPO’s announcement that the Find X2 and Find X2 Pro will get Android 11 Beta, Xiaomi and POCO have also announced that their flagships will get it too.

A tweet by the official MIUI account today announced that Android 11 Beta 1 will be available for the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro. Shortly afterward, the POCO global Twitter account also announced that the POCO F2 Pro will get Android 11 Beta 1 too. Of course, it will arrive with MIUI on both devices but we can’t say if it will be based on MIUI 11 or the new MIUI 12

We are excited to announce that #Android 11 Beta 1 will be available for #Mi10 and #Mi10Pro soon! Stay tuned with @Xiaomi for more! #Android11 pic.twitter.com/hdWlfrRelW

Unlike OPPO that promised this month, Xiaomi and POCO didn’t say when users should expect it. Also, seeing as the POCO F2 Pro will be getting Android 11 Beta 1, we expect the Redmi K30 Pro should get it too.

There are still a number of manufacturers we expect to make their own announcements such as OnePlus and Vivo. We hope they do so before the end of the week.

Do you own any of the phones above? Will you give Android 11 beta a spin when it becomes available for your device? Let us know in the comment box.

Xiaomi announced MIUI 12 at the end of April in China. A separate global event was later held in mid-May. A few days back, the company rolled out a  stable beta update to Mi 9 series and Redmi K20/Mi 9T series globally. Now, according to Chang Cheng, VP of Xiaomi, the stable update is also available for Mi 10/Mi 10 Pro, however, only in China.

MIUI 12 marks the 10th anniversary of MIUI as well as Xiaomi’s existence. It brings overhauled design focussed on privacy. To know more about it, do check our launch coverage.

Having said that, MIUI 12 stable update for Mi 10/Mi 10 Pro in Cina weighs only 820MB and comes with build number MIUI 12.0.1.0. Being the flagship product from the brand, it gets all the features that were announced including animated AOD+, Super Wallpapers, partial screenshot, new MIUI camera app, and more.

Anyway, we are not sure if it is really a stable build or a stable beta release that requires beta authorized Mi account. Either way, the rollout for global units is yet to be announced by Xiaomi.

But if you are a power user and have an unlocked bootloader, you can install MIUI 12 China Stable ROM on your global Mi 10/Mi 10 Pro via custom recoveries like TWRP. Unfortunately, we don’t have access to the download link yet.

Mount Everest has long been closed to expedition both on the Chinese and Nepal side due to the Corovirus pandemic. However, China recently opened its side located in Tibet to a Chinese expedition team. The 30-member team of Chinese surveyors recently set out from the base camp at an altitude of 5,200 metres to a higher altitude in an attempt to reach the summit and re-evaluate the summit’s measurement. Mount Everest’s peak has a height of 8,848 metres from the base. If successful, it is said to go into the record as the first time professional surveyors in China would scale to the summit of Mount Everest.

The team is deploying an unusual tool to help in the measurement – the Mi 10 Pro. Yes, after its exploit in capturing shots from outer space, the camera is again being put to use for the Mount Everest elevation re-testing project.

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro comes with an advanced quad-camera setup that includes a 108MP primary camera with a 10X hybrid/50x digital optical zoom lens, a dedicated portrait lens, and a wide-angle lens. Some of the photos captured during the expedition from the base camp as shared by Xiaomi are posted below.

When Xiaomi unveiled the Mi 10 Pro in February for its home market, it’s DxOMark Camera review went live on the same day itself. Later, in March,  Lei Jun, the CEO of Xiaomi promised a camera update, the version which the DxOMark team actually reviewed. Keeping up with the words, the company is now rolling out MIUI 11.0.24.0 update to Mi 10 Pro, which is said to improve the camera performance of the device.

The new MIUI 11.0.24.0 stable update for Mi 10 Pro weighs only 406MB. It brings a couple of other changes apart from the so-called DxOMark version camera.

The latest update for Mi 10 Pro, which is being rolled out to Chinese version of the device bumps up the security patch level to April 2020. Further, it also adds support for stereo ringtones as well as mirror option for short video mode in the camera app.

The update also fixes occasional hiccups faced by users in AI and HDR modes in the camera app. Also, it brings WiFi 6 icon, which will be displayed on the status bar when the phone is connected to a supported router.

Anyway, we are not sure how well the performance of the cameras will improve with this update. Last year, OnePlus pulled a similar stunt for its then flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 7 Pro. And it did enhance the efficiency of the cameras on that phone. Hopefully, Mi 10 Pro gets a similar boost.

It has been only two months since Xiaomi launched the Mi 10 series in China. However, the company has still managed to sell over a million units even during a global pandemic. The information comes directly from Lu Weibing, the Vice President of Xiaomi who is also the General Manager of Redmi brand.

A blogger praised the price to performance ratio offered by the Xiaomi Mi 10 series when compared to phones from competitors on Weibo. At the end of the post, the person also tagged Mr Lu and asked whether the series has sold 1 million units yet.

Surprisingly, quoting the blogger’s post, Lu Weibing answered that the company has already sold over a million units of Mi 10 series long ago. This sales figure is really impressive as the worldwide smartphone shipments dropped by 38% in February, the month in which these devices were launched. Additionally, the Mi 10 series is the costliest primary flagship phone from the company yet.

The overall smartphone shipments dipped by 13.3% in the first quarter of 2020 due to lockdowns issued by governments across the world to curb the outbreak of coronavirus. But a report from last week mentioned Xiaomi along with Apple has been slowly recovering from the COVID-19 crisis.

Xiaomi’s CFO Shou Zi Chew also claimed the Chinese market has recovered by 80-90%, however, he did admit poor sales for his company’s products. But unfortunately, he did not reveal the exact number. Thankfully, we now have some numbers, at least for the Mi 10 series.

Netflix is the world’s one of the most popular video streaming services. However, it is also poor in terms of compatibility as devices require certain hardware and certification to play HD and HDR content. The streaming giant updates the compatibility list regularly when devices clear certification. Recently, the company has added new smartphones from Oppo, Sony, and Xiaomi to the list.

Netflix has lately added a total of 10 devices from OEMs like Oppo, Sony, and Xiaomi to the compatibility list. The new additions also include smartphones from 2017-18 apart from newly launched models from last month and a device which is yet to be announced.

Here is the list of new Netflix HD-compatible smartphones

• Oppo Reno3 (CPH2043)
• Oppo Reno3 Pro (CPH2035, CPH2036, CPH2037)
• Sony Xperia 5
• Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact
• Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact

Below-mentioned are the new Netflix HDR-compatible handsets

• Sony Xperia 1 II
• Xiaomi Mi 10
• Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G
• Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro
• Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite

It is interesting to see devices like Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact and XZ2 Compact receiving support after years from their launch. Whereas, other devices in the list are relatively new, especially the Mi 10 series, which just went official for global markets a few weeks back.

Interestingly, the list also includes the recently leaked Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite, which the company has not released yet.

UPDATE: A spokesperson for Xiaomi has released an official statement regarding the retail box inscription which has now generated lots of discussions both in China and even overseas. The statement hints that the inscription is actually one of the promotional requirements of its partner (Google) in the latest partnership agreement. The statement revealed that it is similar to the “Powered by Android” booth message and “Intel Inside” stickers that are stamped on Intel-powered laptops.

The reason why it appeared on Xiaomi’s smartphones first is that the Chinese company’s license recently expired and it had to renew the same with the partner which is no doubt Google. The Mi 10 Pro happened to be the first model to be released after the requirement went into effect, the statement hinted.

The original story continues……..

Rival smartphone OEMs have several ways of trolling each other, especially when promoting their smartphones. We’ve seen Huawei take on Samsung or Apple but in recent times Xiaomi seems to have upped its game in trolling rival smartphone OEMs. 

The Chinese giant recently launched the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro model for the global market in Europe. While the models are already in the market, what many didn’t take note of is an inscription on the retail box of the Mi 10 Pro global version. The inscription just under the Mi 10 Pro branding reads, “with easy access to the Google apps you use most”. This is seen as a direct marketing strategy, taking a dig at Huawei whose smartphones which are very popular in Europe.

Of course, Huawei recently launched the P40 series which is a flagship model like the Mi 10 Pro. Sadly, the P40 series doesn’t come with Google services which would affect its market performance. Xiaomi is looking to improve on its growing popularity in Europe and it is no surprise the company will fight dirty in a bid to see that happen.

The Mi 10 Pro and Huawei P40 Pro seems to have similar starting prices of 999 Euros. So, both models are rivals in several aspects so, one can see where Xiaomi is looking at when drawing up the retail box campaign. In China, it doesn’t matter but in Europe, the presence of Google services will influence the sales of Xiaomi’s flagship.

5. Video Compression
   The Mi 10 series will get a new lossless video compression feature that allows you to record high-quality videos that are up to 50% smaller in size. This way, owners get more space on their devices for more videos.

The Mi 10 series will be announced soon outside China. The scheduled date for the global launch event, which will be online, is March 27 but there is a possibility India will be getting it earlier.

CEO of Xiaomi India, Manu Kumar Jain posted on Twitter a short while ago that the 108MP flagship phone(s) is here. The official Xiaomi India account has also added the hashtag #108MPIsHere to its Twitter name. While fans are excited about the launch, they should also expect to pay more compared to those in China.

Mi fans, we've worked very hard to bring this #108MP flagship experience to India.

However, I want to add that we may have a different pricing model for this flagship due to (a) direct import (b) higher GST (c) depreciating ₹. Will keep everyone posted.#Xiaomi #108MPIsHere https://t.co/HkMRftpyuz

Mi 10 will cost more in India

Manu Jumar Jain said in one of his tweets that there will be a different pricing model for the phone due to it being a direct import (not made in India); the increase in goods and services tax; and the depreciating Indian Rupee.

The Mi 10 has a starting price of ¥3999 (~$569/INR 42,326) in China while the Mi 10 Pro has a starting price of ¥4999 (~$712/INR 52,910). We expect the Mi 10 may cross the $600 (~INR 44616) mark in India while the Mi 10 Pro will cross the $750 (~INR 55,770) mark or might even be close to $800 (~INR 59,488).

Mi 10 will be sold by Amazon India

It appears the phone will be sold on Amazon India based on the tweet below. Nevertheless, the flagship should also be available on Mi.com too.

Xiaomi announced the Mi 10 series last month but unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the availability of this handset has been affected severely. So far, the Mi 10 duo (selected variants) went on sale a couple of times post the launch event on February 13. But that might change soon as the Chinese smartphone maker sold all the storage variants of the Mi 10 in a sale today.

The sale scheduled for today was the third sale for Mi 10. The last sale on February 14 was only limited to the 8GB + 256GB variant. But this time around, all the storage configurations of the device were made available, however, with some caveats. Only the 8GB + 128GB and 12GB + 256GB variants priced at 3999 Yuan (~$571) and 4699 Yuan (~$671) respectively were available for purchase, whereas the 8GB + 256GB version retailing for 4299 Yuan (~$614) could only be pre-ordered. Also, the shipping is expected to commence before March 26, which is about two weeks from today.

Going by the situation, we can clearly picture how coronavirus is affecting businesses in China (worldwide too). Xiaomi’s Lei Jun took to Weibo to announce that Mi 10 Pro and the standard Mi 10 will be only made available once a week on Tuesdays and Fridays respectively. He even added that supplies will still take some time to recover suggesting the situation in China to be not yet stable. Hopefully, the condition will turn around soon as the rise of new COVID-19 cases has been falling in China and thus most businesses have already begun lately.

With all that being said, Xiaomi is yet to launch the Mi 10 series globally, which is set for March 27.

Xiaomi‘s latest flagship series, the Mi 10, is expected to launch by the end of this month. The smartphone initially launched first in its home country, China, but will see a global release on 27th March 2020. This is further cemented by a Mi device passing the SIRIM certification in Malaysia, indicating an imminent launch.

The launch event will occur on 27th March 2020 at 14:00 GMT+1 and will be live streamed to major social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. The reason for online conferences is due to the ongoing Coronavirus epidemic. In the launch event, the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro will be announced for the global market, with reports portraying that Malaysia will soon receive the new flagship series.

Recently, a Xiaomi device with a model number M2001J2G had passed Malaysia’s SIRIM certification. This is near the Mi 10 launch event and is very likely for the Mi 10 announcement in the country. According to the listing, the smartphone, which had just gotten certified, supports 5G (700MHz, 3500MHz and 3700MHz), WiFi 6 (802.11ax), Wireless Power Transfer, and NFC.

The features mentioned above are all found in the Mi 10 series and are a clear indicator of its upcoming launch. For those unaware, the latest flagship model from Xiaomi sport Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 SoC. They feature a high 90Hz refresh rate AMOLED display and feature LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.0 storage as well. One of the primary differences between the base and Pro variant is the 108 megapixel primary lens on the latter which also features a 10x hybrid zoom lens and telephoto lens. This makes the device share the same DxOMark score as Oppo Find X2 Pro, the highest scoring smartphone till date.

Xiaomi launched its latest flagship smartphones — Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro in the Chinese market last year. Both the devices have been on sale in China for a couple of times through the flash sale model, selling hundreds of thousands of units.

Now it looks like the Mi 10 series sales and reservations have reached around 490,000 in China. This figure comes from analyst Pan Juitang. He said that if Apple sold less than 500,000 units of its devices in China in Feb 2020, then it is quite close to what Mi 10 series’ total bookings and sales were in the same period.

This means that the Mi 10 series also sold around 500K units in February. The new Mi 10 models come with a premium build and powerful hardware configuration with innovations in the screen, camera, sound quality, and system performance.

Meanwhile, the company has also launched a new protective case for the Mi 10 series for a price of 49 yuan, which is roughly $7. The thin and light protective case comes in two color options — Black and Blue and went on sale earlier today.

As per a report from CAICT, 6.34 million smartphones were sold in February in China, down 54.7 percent from 14 million around the same time a year ago. This figure is also noted to be the lowest monthly sales level since 2012 when China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) began releasing regular sales data.

The report reveals that the shipments of Apple products dropped to 494,000, from 1.27 million in February 2019. In January, the company’s shipments had held consistent at a little more than 2 million.

The sales performance in China seems to be in line with the projections of research firms IDC and Canalys which predicted that the overall phone shipments would drop by about 40 percent in the first quarter due to the Coronavirus outbreak.

Out of the total shipments of 6.34 million units in February 2020 in China, 2G phones accounted for 43,000 units, 4G phones accounted for 3.96 million units while the 5G phones accounted for 2.38 million units.

Xiaomi first introduced the Explorer Edition with a transparent back panel on the Mi 8 Explorer Edition which was released in 2018. The company added an Explorer edition to last year’s Mi 9 flagship lineup. However, Xiaomi released a shocker earlier this year, hinting that the Mi 10 won’t get the transparent version.

In a surprise development, pictures of a Mi 10 model with a transparent rear panel has been shared by Xiaomi’s Marketing department. The design was achieved by swapping the back cover with a transparent glass panel. Thus, you get to see the actual internals of the Mi 10 unlike the Mi 9 and Mi 8 Explorer editions that had dummy internals on display. The Mi 10 internals look quite neat and beautiful such that you won’t distinguish it from the previous iterations. The transparent panel shows the camera, flash, battery, wireless charging coil, and a large area of ​​double-layer thermally conductive graphite covering the entire motherboard area is clearly shown.

The development has prompted some fans to request that the company launch such back covers and provide after-sales replacements for fans who’d want to have it on their phones. That isn’t likely to happen but we may see third-party transparent glass panels soon.

Last month, Xiaomi had launched its flagship series for 2020, the Mi 10 series. The latest generation of premium grade smartphones arrives with top notch specs with its cameras receiving positive reception. Now, the Chinese tech giant has rolled out an important update for the Mi 10 Pro‘s camera module.

Notably, the commercial variant of a smartphone and the testing versions sent to firms like DxOMark differ slightly. In other words, the testing versions carry slightly better camera software optimizations, so results may vary from real life testing. However, this doesn’t mean Xiaomi has left out a better algorithm for the customers as the company has started rolling out the same DxOMark camera software version.

For those unaware, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro units sent to DxOMark featured better optimizations that improved autofocus in low light scenarios. Furthermore, the color adjustments for the HDR were also better and the occasional purple tint on night scenes was fixed as well. Basically, the testing version was noticeably better in performance than the commercially available variant.

But now, the new update (MIUI V11.0.12.0) brings all of those improvements to the Mi 10 Pro’s quad camera module. This includes its the 108 megapixel primary sensor alongside the 10x hybrid zoom lens, 12 megapixel portrait lens and a 20 megapixel ultra wide angle lens. So for Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro owners, look out for the new update which will improve the performance of your flagship smartphone.

Xiaomi recently launched its flagship smartphone of the year in the form of Mi 10 series which includes the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro. Now, it seems that the company could launch a new variant of the same with transparent back.

Today, Lei Jun, Chairman of Xiaomi took to Weibo and shared a photo of Mi 10 with the caption “Xiaomi Mi 10 Transparent Edition”. However, the picture shows the Mi 10 smartphone with a wallpaper of the phone’s internal view.

While he has not explicitly said that the Mi 10 with transparent back is coming, the shared image and the caption has sparked the rumors that such device could get launched.

If it does get launched, it won’t be the first time given that Xiaomi had launched Mi 9 Explorer Edition with the transparent back and a similar transparent back cover version of the Mi 8 smartphone as well.

Xiaomi had recently released a new update for its newly launched Mi 10 Pro. The new MIUI upgrade (V11.0.7.0.QJACNXM) brought many improvements across the board for the device, which has even helped it to break past the 600,000 point mark in AnTuTu benchmarking software.

The update for the Mi 10 series included a new driver for the smartphone’s GPU (graphics processing unit). This is made possible by Qualcomm’s latest flagship, the Snapdragon 865 SoC, which enables GPU drivers to be updated, allowing for optimizations and improvements being patched periodically. The update also brought along plenty of other notable improvements, such as:

• Improved the sound quality of the speakers.
• Fixed cellular data related issues.
• Improved the speed of WeChat red envelope notification prompt on mobile network
• Updated the Android security patch to February 2020.
• Optimized the weak signal of WLAN 5G bands.
• Fixed network and latency issues with WiFi connections and a few other minor improvements as well.

However, the most notable improvement was to its GPU driver version that improved its performance, allowing it to achieve such a high score in the AnTuTu benchmarking software. For those unaware, the Mi 10 series features the Snapdragon 865 SoC that arrives with an integrated GPU, the Adreno 650. Currently, it is one of the most powerful mobile graphics unit that is commercially available.

Update: Since this report, the Mi 10 Pro has also undergone multiple other test runs on the AnTuTu benchmarking software. However, this time it underwent the tests under in a colder environment (inside a Mijia fridge), to account for the heat generated during the original room temperature tests. Although a notable score wasn’t achieved that surpassed the original due to obvious and unavoidable testing variations, but it still kept the impressive 600,000+ score. This showcases that heat is also an important factor during tests.

Thus, with the new update, Xiaomi has outdone its previous records with the latest score surpassing the 600,000 marks. It is a notable feat considering the previous generations had just begun to crack the score of 500,000. The news about the Mi 10 Pro was initially shared on Weibo, the Chinese microblogging website.

The post Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro 5G smartphone to go on sale again on 25th February appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer, has just released the official teardown video of its latest flagship, the Mi 10 Pro. The video offers a look inside the internal structure of the smartphone and also provides a brief explanation with texts and images.

Starting from the rear, Xiaomi reveals the internals of the device by removing the back panel of the device. After removing the glue that binds the rear cover to the body, two large foam rubbers can be observed at the top and bottom of the device. These primarily serve the purpose of protection from fall damage and accidents. Furthermore, a large portion of the internals is also covered with thermally conductive graphite which is found in the region that has the motherboard. Other components like NFC coils and wireless charging technology can also be seen.

The speakers of the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro are housed symmetrically on the top and bottom of the device. It features a magnetic steel design and arrives with a 1.22cc large cavity, which enables a better stereo audio experience. Notably, the Mi 10 Pro’s speakers are said to have improved on the volume levels over its previous generations by 100 percent.

After removing the motherboard cover, the actual board and the Mi 10 Pro’s battery pack is made visible. The main board area uses a double layer motherboard design, meaning a smaller board being stacked upon the primary board to save space, and is found on the left side. On the right, the large 4,500mAh battery pack can be found and is housed on a middle frame, which also takes up most of the internal space. Under the battery pack, an ultra thin optical fingerprint scanner is situated, which is used for the in display fingerprint reading whilst saving previous internal space.

Once the rear camera cover is removed, one can also see the entire quad camera module of the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro. As seen in the images, its 108 megapixel camera is the largest sensor and is conveniently placed in the middle. Other components, like LED flash and a laser focusing module, are also present that allows for better visibility and focusing speed in low light environments. On the other hand, the Mi 10 Pro sports a 20 megapixel selfie shooter on the front.

With the Mi 10 Pro, Xiaomi has adopted a unique 360 degree front and rear dual light sensor technology. In other words, the handset is better equipped in detecting light sources and the ambient lighting in its surroundings. This enables a better camera performance whilst also making the automatic screen brightness adjustment more intelligent and proactive.

The motherboard of the flagship smartphone uses an “L” shaped design with copper foils and the graphite shield. Its upper regions contain the newly developed Wi-Fi 6 chip while the middle holds the power management module and audio decoding technology. The bottom of the motherboard houses a radio frequency chip.  Additionally, this portion also features a few of the highlighting components of the Mi 10 Pro. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 SoC alongside the X55 5G modem is housed here. The pair of LPDDR5 flash memory and UFS 3.0 storage also enables class leading read and write speeds as well as fast data transfer capabilities.

With the Mi 10 Pro, Xiaomi has completely revamped its internal layout that manages to include an X axis linear vibration motor in the compact space while still catering for heat dissipation. To protect from heat related damages, the handset has built in VC soaking plate, 6 layers of graphite structure, large amounts of copper foil and thermally conductive gel as well. This VC protection layer extends across the power management chip and the 5G modem, covering an area of 3,000 square millimeters.

For added protection, it had a built in matrix temperature sensor and other temperate sensors spread across the device as well. This allows the Mi 10 Pro to accurately map heat in different regions in real time, including the 5G modem, the processor, battery pack, charging interface and more. Through this, the AI temperature control module automatically finds a suitable temperature by controlling device’s power output and performance simultaneously. In other words, a technological marvel which one may never really notice.

Xiaomi had just recently launched its Mi 10 series of flagship smartphones. Right after the launch in China, the Chinese tech giant has also uploaded the Kernel Source for the Mi 10 and the Mi 10 Pro.

The Mi 10 series is the latest flagship offering from Xiaomi. Being a flagship lineup, the devices arrive with top notch specs, including Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 SoC (Systems on Chip) alongside the X55 5G Modem. Handsets from the company have known to be a great value for money and the same has been touted for Xiaomi’s Mi 10 series.

The move from Xiaomi to release the Kernel source is very good news. Initially, the company had committed to releasing the kernel sources for its handset offerings within 3 months of the launch, but it seems like the company is already one step ahead with the recent launch. Notably, a kernel source is the heart of any operating system.

Just one day after the Mi 10’s launch, the company released the kernel source is how the a proper kernel release should go about since the GPLv2 license implies that changes to the kernel source must be launched in a timely manner; something Xiaomi had been lacking in.

For those unaware, the Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro are codenamed “umi” and “cmi” respectively. Both devices feature the same processor with a decent RAM and ROM offering. However, the areas the Mi 10 Pro outshines the base variant is the 20 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, a dual 12 megapixel front facing cameras and the hybrid 10x zoom.

Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro design

The Xiaomi Mi 10 and the Mi 10 Pro have near-identical designs. This includes a curved display on the front and a quad-camera setup place on the top left corner of the back. The company has reduced the chin on the display to just 3.32mm, offering a better screen to body ratio on the new models.

They measure 9mm in thickness with 4500mAh+ batteries on board. The only major difference in design between the two models is the additional Laser focus sensor at the back of the Pro model.

Both the phones also feature a punch-hole camera on the top left corner of the screen.

Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro Display

The Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro come with a 6.67-inch curved AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and 180Hz touch sampling rate. The peak brightness on both the panels reach 1200 nits with a contrast of 5,000,000:1.

In order to improve the automatic brightness adjustment on both the devices, the company has equipped them with dual front and rear light sensors. This will ensure that the phone’s brightness is controlled well offering a pleasant viewing experience, indoors as well as outdoors.

The Mi 10 Pro comes with a 6.67-inch curved AMOLED panel with a JNCD (Just Noticeable Color Difference) of less than 0.55. The company claims that the Pro’s display is superior to both the iPhone 11 Pro Max and the Mate 30 Pro 5G. Also, Xiaomi adds that the panel’s △ E (delta E color difference) is 1.1 which once again makes it better than the iPhone and Huawei flagship models.

Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro Specs

The Xiaomi Mi 10 and Pro models come with the 7nm octa-core Snapdragon 865 under the hood with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and UFS 3.0 storage. Both the phones support Wi-Fi 6 which comes with a throughput rate of 9.6Gbps. Thanks to these specs, the Mi 10 is able to score more than 585,000 points on the AnTuTu benchmark.

Of course, with SD865 on board, the phones support both SA and NSA 5G standards out of the box.

The Xiaomi Mi 10 comes with dual linear 1.0cc stereo speakers. However the Mi 10 Pro is the real king of audio in the flagship series as it comes with a larger chamber 1.2cc dual stereo speakers. Unsurprisingly, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro is the top-scoring smartphone on DxOMark’s audio test, beating the previous leader, the Mate 20 X 5G by one point.

In terms of cooling, both the models come with Vapour Chamber liquid-cooling system with multiple layers of graphite and AI machine learning to keep the temperature under control. The company is also offering a special cooling fan as a separate accessory for the new models.

Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro Cameras

We all knew that the Mi 10 series was going to feature a 108MP camera setup. The company revealed today that the standard Mi 10 will come with a quad-camera setup at the back featuring a custom 108MP sensor along with a macro, depth, and wide-angle lens.

Earlier today, Xiaomi‘s VP and Redmi GM Lu Weibing penned an essay on Weibo where he stated the brand’s change in strategy as regards the high-end Mi brand. As you may already know, the Mi 10 series is set to go official on February 13. The rumour mill has been kept buzzing with several leaked details emerging. One of such leaks is the pricing detail for the Mi 10 which is tipped to start at $4200 ($599).

Now, the Mi-series models have not been this expensive, especially for the base variant. Lu Weibing has now clarified in his post that the Mi brand and MIX series are high-end brands in the same rank as the Huawei P/Mate series and Apple iPhones. He then added that the brand was getting rid of the price limit and is doing its best to be a flagship in order to compete favourably. The Xiaomi exec also made reference to the upper mid-range segment that is occupied by the Redmi K30 where it is the preferred choice ahead of the Huawei V30.

Lu Weibing’s viewpoint was also amplified by Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun who affirmed that the brand was aiming to sprint into the high-end market with the Mi 10. Thus, just bear in mind that the era of cheap Mi flagship phones is at its end. We expect the flagship to be competitively priced like the Galaxy S30 series, Huawei P40 and others.

It is noteworthy that this is a major shift in Xiaomi’s brand strategy which is to keep prices down and focus on in-app ads for revenue. Since the company became a publicly listed firm, we have always expected this to happen someday. The Mi 10 is well-positioned with several new features such as UFS 3.0 storage, LPDDR5 RAM, WiFi 6, 108MP main camera, Snapdragon 865 5G SoC and 90Hz refresh rate, among others.
