Smoothly curved glass front and back;Great zoom cameras;High-quality 108MP main sensor

Camera is slow;Protruding camera housing;Some software quirks;Low-light images aren't best in class

The best camera phones are usually the best phones overall, and you'll mostly find flagships in this category - the likes of the latest Galaxies and iPhones typically deliver the best image quality of the time. Huawei's top dogs have also entered this...

Incredible camera capability Swift charging speeds Top-end screen quality

Weak chipset Bluetooth connectivity unreliable Battery life a little underwhelming

The Xiaomi Mi Note 10 is a powerhouse in so many ways, from its camera and screen quality to its charging speeds and sleek look; it's just a shame there are a few weak spots which cast a shadow over the experience of using the phone.

Wide range of camera features Huge battery Fantastic front-facing camera

Sub-par processor Illogical camera modes Looks suspiciously like the Huawei P30 Pro

On paper the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 looks like a compelling device. On closer inspection the corners Xiaomi has cut in order to make it quickly become apparent, but there are enough impressive features here for many of those compromises to be overlooked.

Sleek design ; Great stereo speakers ; Powerful internals

No telephoto camera ; Clunky interface ; No SD card slot

A great looking phone that packs a tonne of features, but falls short with no optical zoom and occasional UI gremlins.

Detail-rich 108MP camera ; Extremely well-priced ; Long-lasting battery life

108MP colour reproduction isn’t the best ; Performance isn’t as good as OnePlus 7T

Phew, there’s an awful lot to talk about when it comes to the Mi Note 10’s cameras, but the most exciting aspect is the price. Starting from only £459 for the 128GB model, the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 will likely make a massive dent in the market, especially...

Excellent main camera ; Premium design ; Good battery life

No SD card slot ; Mid-range power ; Pesky UI adverts
