Is it Worth Buying Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G?
Yes, Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G (review) is worth buying because the phone has powerful Snapdragon 750G Processor which has 5G support along with massive 108-megapixel camera setup, 16MP selfie shooter and 33W fast charging support. Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G is priced at Rs 20,999 which is the perfect price for what Xiaomi is offering. It’s value for money Device.
Now, you can’t just buying new smartphone, right away, so let’s talk what new Xiaomi has to offer.
Performance
The Mi 10i 5G is powered by Snapdragon 750G processor which is the same processor used by Moto G 5G and this phone is also priced at 21k. While Mi 10i 5G is running on MIUI 12 based on Android 10 and it will get Android 11 update but when Xiaomi didn’t give a date yet but it will get very soon as per Xiaomi.
Likewise, the phone comes with lots of pre-installed application which can be uninstalled and also, MIUI 12 has ads in the UI which can be disabled but not 100%.
Battery Life
Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G has 4,820 mAh (non-removable) with 33W fast charging support and yes, 33W charger is included in the box, so no need to buy separately. Now, the battery life depends on your use but this phone will give about 1-day battery life.
Keep in mind, 5G phones do consume lots of battery but this won’t be a problem with you in India as 5G will take about 6 months but when you use 5G, the battery will last less as compared to 4G.
Cameras
The Mi 10i 5G come with 108-Megapixel (Samsung HM2 sensor) quad rear camera setup featuring 8MP ultra-wide lens, 2MP Macro lens and 2MP depth sensor. Here, just forget 2MP+2MP sensors because those two sensors are just added for numbers, nothing else.
Considering the price tag, the phone has a good camera setup, there is nothing to worry about cameras. By the way, it also has 16MP selfie shooter which is placed on the punch-hole notch.
Conclusion
Mi 10i 5G is another re-brand from Xiaomi but this time, they have delivered good stuff. The phone has 5G support, 108MP rear camera setup, good selfie camera setup and 33W fast charging support. So here, can’t complain much about anything else.

Do note, the phone does have 120Hz screen refresh rate but this is an LCD display. So yes, you have to compromise in the display, if you want all other good stuff.
