First, the current price for the device is 45k, and amazon has offered 8k instant discount. So, I got the product for about 37k. When MI 10 launch everyone has one complaint i.e. price of the device. Lets, go through every point and see if its worth it or not.
1. Packaging and Delivery: I got the product within 12 hours, so kudos to amazon for such blazing fast delivery. However, when I open the package, the seal sticker on the box was open. Anyhow, I open the box and found that all the content are new and no sign of usage or anything I could observe. Everything was well packed inside.
2. Heating Issue: I read in other reviews that heating issue is present. I did take the risk to purchase the device. I think not much device has been sold from Xiaomi. I got a unit which has a packaging date of March 2020. Out of the box I got MIUI 11. And I did feel heating issue in device, mobile got little warm after using 5 mins of usage. However, after updating it to MIUI 12. I don't feel any heating issue like I faced in MIUI 11. We do need to realize that this is the flagship process and device do get warm after extensive use. Even you can read reviews of any other flagship device there, you can see people complaining about heating issue. But its not heating issue, its just device get little warm. I played games on this device for about 1 hours, there also I don't feel any heating issues. Temperature was normal and overall gaming experience was good.
3. Display: Display is bright and vibrant as expected from Amoled display. But, I did compare it with IPS panel of oppo f9 pro and I feel IPS display is not bad at all. You can consider MI 10T series and may not miss out on anything because of IPS panel. Overall colors on MI 10's display was punchy with good vieweing angle. Curve display do enhance overall viewing experience. Device does support always on display.
4. Refresh Rate: MI 10 offer a refresh rate of 90 HZ, I did checked with 120 HZ refresh rate screen but I think difference is not that much. So you can go with this refresh rate without any issue.
5. Speaker: Dual speaker is amazing, no complaints here.
6. Haptic feedback: This is one of the thing I like about this device. While typing you do get a nice vibration from the device and It improve overall typing experience. If you never use any flagship device then this is something new you will definitely going to notice.
7. Gaming : I did play, call of duty, Asphalt 9 on this device with maximum setting possible. Graphics look stunning on this curve display and no heating issue I observe. Above 60 FPS I was able to achieve in all above mention games.
8. MIUI and Ad situation: I love animations so my preference will be any OS which is rich with animations. And MIUI do fulfill this need of mine. But if you love stock experience than you can consider other devices. In MIUI I don't see any ads as promised by Xiaomi. All the blots can be easily uninstalled expect 2-3 apps.
9. In this budget I have another option of buying oneplus device, but after looking at camera samples online I was not convinced to go for any of the model of oneplus. I am not saying oneplus camera is bad or anything, its good but something is missing over there. Later, when I got the device I visited nearby oneplus store and checked MI 10 camera with oneplus 8, 8T and 8 pro. MI 10's back camera i.e. 108 MP camera is better than back camera of oneplus device, However front Camera of OnePlus was better. So, you have to choose which camera matter you the most.
10. You do need to take care of this device, since no screen protector or tempered glass is available in online or offline market. Also, device don't come with any pre installed screen guard. This is the only con I find with this device.
Final Verdict: The device has everything that one need, good display, battery life, speakers, processing power. It's just didnot got any attention because of negative reviews by people in the name of "Initial Impression". None of the big youtuber even reviewed the device properly and simply gave a negative feedback based on the price. They do need to understand not everyone is meant to like stock android. People do love to change overall theme of the device. For a price of 50k I do consider we have better option from different brand like Samsung. But I believe for a price of around 37k-40k its one of the best device that money can buy.
