Design Overview of Xiaomi Mi Note 10
The overall design of the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 resembles that of the Huawei P30 Pro which might become a topic for brand criticism. The Xiaomi has tried to deliver the combination of the mid-range and flagship segment specifications in the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 as it sports the camera module which is not even seen in the high-end phones but on the other hand, it comes with the chipset and internal hardware of mid-range segment. Considering the design, the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 does not bring any kind of fancy pop-up rising camera or a punch-hole display to accommodate the selfie camera but instead comes with a ‘u’ shaped notch, however still the display is curved at laterals resembling the renowned flagships OnePlus 7 Pro series or Samsung Galaxy S10 series or Galaxy Note 10 series. Hence the phone stands as an amalgamation of the flagship and mid-range segment which can also be known from the spec-sheet.

Cameras on the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 are the key feature of the phone, as it leads others in offering multiple cameras on a smartphone (if smartphone from Light with 16 cameras is excluded from the race) and Xiaomi Mi Note 10 sets the bar high and to 5. Not only the number of sensors but also the resolution of the primary camera sensor is jaw-dropping. The primary camera sensor is of 108 MP which is assisted by other 4 camera sensors: 12MP with f/2.0 Telephoto lens, 5 MP upscaled to 8 MP with f/2.0 Telephoto lens, 20 MP with f/2.2 ultrawide lens, and 2 MP with f/2.4 macro lens and for low lighting conditions the phone also has a quad-LED flash beside the Penta camera module.

Review of Xiaomi Mi Note 10
The most fascinating and tempting thing, the Camera of the Xiaomi Note 10 defeats all the flagships and even the iPhone 11 Pro majorly. The camera of Xiaomi Mi Note 10 can be said as the best camera setup inculcated in a smartphone. Not in at the spec-sheet but also at image quality the camera takes away the game. Although the assistants of the primary 108 MP sensor sometimes may stand on the opposite side (may deteriorate image quality instead of improving) but the primary sensor handles everything from low lighting to HDR capturing all the details.
The thing that takes out the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 in competition the flagships is its chipset. Hence the phone stands out of both Flagship and mid-range. The processing capabilities are not that bad but it does not stand according to the expectations. So all in all the phone can stand as the best option for people who are more into mobile-phone photography and can be an alternative to highly-priced flagships if one can compromise with pop-up camera tech and the chipset.
Price and launch in India
When launched in India the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 is expected to cost around Rs.30,000/- and the launch is expected in the later of December, probably 18th or 25th DEC.
