Ahsansiddiqui, 14 Oct 2020Using Mi note lite for 3 months and found no problem at all... moreAre you sure about that? I've been using this phone for 3 months and the only problems I face are charging issues and camera photos. The photos aren't that great to be honest. And the fast charging?
It NEVER charges under 90 minutes from 0 to 100%. In fact the fast charging is VERY INCONSISTENT. I only charge when it's 10% and sometimes I get 1 hour and 20 minutes to full charge (100%), most time more than 2 hours! I only charge this phone at home or office. Same wall sockets and charging brick and cables. The charging duration results VARY but what is consistent is the charging tools that I use and how I always turn off mobile and WiFi during charging. So to those who wanna buy this mi note 10 lite, if you don't mind being lied to about the charging time, then go ahead and buy this phone. I for once will not encourage people to buy Xiaomi phones anymore.

    Stefan, 05 Nov 2020Would you suggest me to buy this one, or Poco X3 NFC? Th... moreIt really depends on what your priorities are, the X3 NFC is a great band for the buck but it has an LCD display while this one has AMOLED & HDR10. The X3 NFC is also made of plastic which may feel cheap compared to the Mi 10 lite's aluminum construction. The X3 does have a 120hz display but I've seen complaints about the pixel response on the display. I'd personally choose the X3 NFC because it has a newer chipset & a 120hz display.

          Ahsansiddiqui, 14 Oct 2020It has proximity sensor. Well don't cover phone with j... moreIt hasn't a proximity Sensor at all according to"Xiaomi" Official Sites
          they don't mention proximity among the sensors which in this model !!

          The phone designed to use front camera & gyroscope Sensor
          So, the phone must be vertical in your hand in front of the ear to work fine
          if the phone move - and turn into another angel the front camera will take light inside and the display will turn on.
          If you put the phone in a horizontal position - (on table or a desk) and hide the front camera with your hand the display will not turn off because the gyroscope sensor will detect that,
          and consider there is no phone call

          Which is annoying for most users

          But some reviewers state that this phone is among the best phones Which using
          this front camera+Gyro as an alternative to proximity sensor

                  R3mba, 14 Oct 2020This one or nord?? I heard xiaomi has not built proximity ... moreIt has proximity sensor. Well don't cover phone with jelly on the top and it will work. It works for me.

                    Using Mi note lite for 3 months and found no problem at all. Those who have problem with proximity sensor please remove jelly from screen and it will work fine. I had same issue and now I am using UV screen glass.

                    Charging from 0 to 100% is done within 1hour 10 to 1hour 15 mins.

                    Display is great. Amazing experience in gaming. Sound quality is good. Everything is perfect. I think I miss in this phone is SD card slot because 128gb isn't enough for me :D

                    It is battery bank. For me it easily work for 1 and half day if I don't play games but if you are gamer and play all the time it will work for less time obviously.

                      This one or nord??
                      I heard xiaomi has not built proximity sensor in 10 lite,and you have problems answering and talking on it.

                        Other reviews had web browsing times at 19+ hours. Type of testing left or right it still doesn't make any sense at all. It's more than 6 hours difference for the same phone. That makes me wonder how much any of those tests and reviews are reliable at all !!??

                          buying particular functional Devices /accessories is the master scene Focused target

                          but good look designs is desired also --->as long as it enhances the experiment of using such sets

                              the trap Which most people fall in:

                              with annoying issues hiding in a premium shape

                              Premium is important Sure but with well made products without big issues

                                Anonymous, 03 Sep 2020Why are you worrying over a software update?? Jeez it'... moreWhy slag someone down over a software update question ?
                                You obviously don't care about them so just get over it yourself
                                It's just a question for Christs sake.

                                  This phone doesn't change in 1 hour and 14 minutes. It never even got close to it. This phone will charge from 0 to 100% in 2 hours even if you turn off WiFi or data or Bluetooth or airplane mode. Don't bother changing your charging adapter, whatever brand at 30W or 45W the result will not change. It will still be 2 hours minimum to charge it. Shame on GSM arena for lying about the charging time.

                                        I put it on airplane mode at 5% battery and after an arrow episode(about 45min) it was at 94

                                        The keyboard haptics aren't the best so I turned then off
