"Upscaling and then sharpening the 27MP will give you cleaner images with only the slightest bit less fine detail"
For me these 27MP photos look awfully artificial, like upscaled already. Even after downscaling to 12MP I do not see any advantage over my 2-year phone. The 108MP ones look pretty much useless. This is definitely overshoot.

    THE-TRUTH-REVEALER, 07 Nov 2019GSMArena does not mention stand-by times of devices individ... moreBut who gives a flying F about standby time?

    We are awake only 16-18 hours a day anyways. Use time, screen on time, this is what matters. Not standby time. If it matters to the total score, then they should list is as part of the measurements. One point I would easily ignore :-)

      lol guys ... there is no such thing like mobile DSLR, even iPhone 11 pro is far far far away to any Sony APSC mirrorless camera pictures quality.

      I have Mi9 and endurance was poor at the beginning (android is learning how you use your phone) but after week or two and few updates the phone is beast now. I bet that with Mi Note 10 it will be the same.

        Marco M, 07 Nov 2019Don't look at the overall number, it is very misleading, lo... moreGSMArena does not mention stand-by times of devices individually and yet it is factored in the final "hour" rating of the battery result.
        So it is indeed possible that Mi Note 10 has such a poor standby performance that its overall rating falls down. I too noticed a reduced battery drain when I moved from MIUI 10 to MIUI 11 on K20.

          Essen, 06 Nov 2019For a 5000+mah battery, 95 hours is not too good an enduran... moreDon't look at the overall number, it is very misleading, look at the measurements.

          It beats the Mi A3 (101), Reno2 (102), XA2 Plus (104), SG A6+ (106), SG J7 pro (107) and the SG Note10+ (107) on all points, yet still receives a lower total score.

          Something's just not right here.

          Mi Note 10 (95h endurance rating)
          Talk Time 33:34
          Web browsing 12:32
          Video playback 22:20

          SG Note10+ (107h endurance rating)
          Talk Time 32:32h
          Web browsing 12:07h
          Video playback 18:50h

          So the Mi Note 10 has slightly better talk time, slightly better web browsing and nearly 20% longer video playback time, compared to the SG Note10+, and still gets a lower score?

            So did anyone actually make a purchase and test it out in real life? I'm quite interested in Mi Note 10 because everything sounds quality. Watched the launch online and it was like $610 USD. Then I saw Gearbest is offering this model at $499 for a limited time, which is a lot cheaper lol. Any advice? Is it worth buying at the price point? Thanks, everyone.

                The overall scoring seems to be completely off on the Mi Note 10, as it beats the Xperia 5 on every point, but still gets a lower score.

                It also clearly beats the Mi A3 even though it has an overall score of 101. Same with Xperia XA2 Plus which has a score of 104.

                  Clicking the circles to change between the focal ranges (or "zooms"), is also very easily understandable. Just like it is on phone with two, or more, options.

                    This is the phone with the most versatile cameras, with all these cameras on one phone, lots of possible pictures.

                    However, for an average user it's quite too many, over complicated cameras.

                              108mp pics take 15-20 seconds to process and it even gets hang some times while doing that and heats up

                                I can't believe Mi Note 10 ER battery life with 5260mAh lost to Xperia 5's ER battery life with its 3140mAh and both has the similiar resolution of OLED... Did MIUI 11 software on the test just too wacky for now?

                                  for battery life GsmA is not often true. Work 2.0 battery life is true. So the best way to find out is to wait for results of Work 2.0 battery life.
