Xiaomi is being used more than ever to offer a high-end and full-range stops, with different variants that equip the most powerful processors of the moment. This is the case of the two mobiles that we are confronting today, two telephones of different ranges that aspire to offer the maximum in benefits. It is the Xiaomi Mi 10 and the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 .
A priori, it is an unequal fight, because we are talking about Xiaomi’s latest top of the range compared to the most advanced mid-range mobile that they have launched in recent years. Two phones that stand out above all in the photographic aspect, and that is precisely where there is the most equality.
Screen and dimensions
These two phones are big, and heavy. the Mi 10 has a 6.67-inch screen and Full HD + Super AMOLED resolution , in addition to HDR10 and a 90Hz refresh rate. The Mi Note 10 on the other hand has a 6.47-inch AMOLED screen and Full HD + resolution , also with HDR10, although in this case without a special refresh rate.
The dimensions of the Xiaomi Mi 10 are 162.5 x 74.8 x 9 mm and weighs 208 grams, the Note for its part measures 157.8 x 74.2 x 9.7 mm and weigh exactly the same . On the screen of the first we have a hole in the corner for the camera, while on the Note there is a notch in the form of a drop of water.
Performance
Here there are very important differences in favor of the Xiaomi Mi 10, because it has the Snapdragon 865 processor , the most powerful for Android mobiles today. Instead in the Mi Note 10 we have a premium mid-range processor, such as the Snapdragon 730G .
It is evident that the difference is important in this case in favor of the 865, which does not mean that the 730G is also one of the most powerful processors today. The Xiaomi Mi 10 in which we have set has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. While the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 has for its part 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, which in both cases is not expandable .
Photo camera
Here we are facing one of the aspects that offer the most equality, because both have the revolutionary main 108 megapixel sensor . But while the Mi 10 has a quad camera, the Mi Note 10 has a penta camera. The first with 108-megapixel, 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle, 2-megapixel macro and 2-megapixel depth sensors. While the latter has 108 megapixel, 12 megapixel telephoto, 5 megapixel telephoto, 20 megapixel ultra wide angle and 2 megapixel macro sensors.
Perhaps in what the Mi Note 10 can overcome the Mi 10 is in the zoom, since it has two dedicated telephoto sensors, so the magnification of the image can be better. In any case, in general terms, with 108 megapixels for both, there is a lot of equality. In the front, the Mi 10 has a 20 megapixel sensor in a screen hole, while the Mi Note 10 has a 32 megapixel sensor inside a notch in the form of a drop of water.
Battery and connectivity
In this regard, the Mi 10 lags behind its opponent, with a 4780mAh battery and a 30W fast charge, which also supports wireless and reverse charging. For its part, the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 has a larger, 5260mAh , compatible with the same 30W fast charge.
In both cases, charging up to 60% of it in half an hour. Both have a fingerprint reader under the screen, as well as NFC. The first has bluetooth 5.1 and the second 5.0. Both offer USB Type-C connectors. Both phones have Android 10 as the operating system and MIUI 11 layer.
Conclusion
It is evident that we are facing different phones, the Xiaomi Mi 10 is a mobile with a top-of-the-range processor and the Mi Note 10 is not. But there are two aspects to keep in mind. The first currently costs 799 euros, and the second practically half , about 440 euros. So if we only compare characteristics, it is evident that the Mi 10 is better mobile.
But if the price enters the game , we can assure without any doubt that the Mi Note 10 is a better purchase . Because it has a camera as good or better than that of the Mi 10, and only in the event that performance is something decisive for you, with almost 400 euros difference, the Note 10 is undoubtedly a better choice. If it is not your case and you want only the latest and most powerful, logically you will have to opt for the new top of the range of Xiaomi.
