Xiaomi Announces Mi 10T & Mi 10T Pro: More Budget, But With 144Hz - AnandTech

Still, the new devices promise to bring a slew of new software camera features as well as being the first phones on the market to adopt new 144Hz display screens with AdaptiveSync variable refresh rate functionality.

The new Mi 10T’s series biggest selling point is probably their reduced prices, starting at only 499€ for the base model Mi 10T – still delivering you a Snapdragon 865 SoC, a competitive camera as well as the aforementioned 144Hz OLED display, packing a massive 5000mAh battery.

Xiaomi says that this choice to revert back to a flat design had been made following feedback by the community, given that there’s still a lot of people that actually prefer the flatter design over curved phones.

Starting off with the Mi 10T Pro – there’s actually no identifiable difference here in the hardware compared to the Mi 10 Pro, as both feature the 108MP Samsung HMX sensor with 0.8µm pixels that bin down to 27MP in regular usage.

This time around, the lower-end Mi 10T actually gets a different unit, featuring a 64MP sensor – still being quite large at 1/1.7” and featuring 0.8µm pixels, binning down to 16MP in regular usage.

The ultra-wide module sensor seems seemingly in line with the specifications of the UWA module sensor of the Mi 10, however the optics seem to have changed as Xiaomi is now advertising a larger field of view reaching 123°.

There’s a 5MP macro camera that focuses between 2 and 10cm – however usually these modules aren’t very good in terms of quality and are just there to inflate the camera module count number for marketing purposes.

The Mi 10 Pro launches at 599€, essentially the differences here lie solely in the larger camera module and sensor and its OIS inclusion

If that’s worth it to you depends how much you use the cameras of the device – but neither phones are exactly positioned to be top camera performers
