SShreyas, 13 Apr 2021Mi 10i is already killed by Poco X3 Pro. Until someone is ... moreMi 10i also has a much better 108mp large sensor camera.
That is the selling point for Redmi Note 10 Pro Max as well.
Poco X3 pro camera is worse than regular Poco X3.

        How is the main camera and screen in Mi 11 Lite 5G compared to the the ones in the Redmi Note 10 Pro?

            What about durability of the phone..?

              Having 200g+ phones, This phone become my favourite, thin and light without compromising much, a rarity today.

                OMJ, 13 Apr 2021not to spoil the fun here, but camera in poco F3 as it turn... moreHave heard the camera software is ' okay' but nothing that gcam can't solve. And as for the UI, this is Android. We're not limited to customisation ( unlike apple) sure there's a launcher out there for u. I've got the ZenFone 6 and I use smart launcher

                  chris1998, 13 Apr 2021Would choose the Poco F3 over this not to spoil the fun here, but camera in poco F3 as it turns out is mediocre... plus to my experience, poco UI is half-baked, so much bugs

                        What is the type of proximity sensor?
                        Ultrasonic sensor? Or a general proximity sensor?
                        It is a normal sensor if it reacts when you take it around the proximity sensor with your hand.
                        It's an ultrasonic sensor when you react when you touch your face, like when talking on a phone.
                        Thank you for your answer.

                          I was between Poco F3 and Realme Gt.
                          Then came Realme GT Neo closer to my budget, but.. no Bluetooth 5.2 (gets 5.1 without any reasoning).
                          And then came Mi 11 Lite 5G... hmm!

                          I think I'll go for this one! Why?
                          PROS:
                          . wifi 6
                          . smaller price
                          . nice design and gorilla 6
                          . bt 5.2 (much better than 5.1, not a minor change)
                          . very thin and lite (fits pockets and feels great at hand)
                          . 5mn chip (newer tech, better battery and life expectancy)
                          . card reader (can buy just the cheaper 189gb model and mostly use my sd cards that are veeery cheap and contain my music library in amazing sound quality)
                          CONS:
                          . no headphone jack (grrrrr...)

                          All 3(4) phones have great screens, ok cameras, fast charging, etc, so I was ready to choose the much stronger Neo and be ok with the lack of sd card, but then... no bluetooth 5.2 too..? and with that silly 'dare to leap' logo in the 'childish sparkle effect'..?
                          Nan..

                          Maybe I'll reconsider if Neo 'unlocks' 5.2 (or it was a mistake of spects), OR if I find a GT in a VERY good price, (Poco F3 has a great price, but no 3.5 jack AND no sd card, so, is out), BUT, then again, I like the slimness, the lightness, and all three colours of Mi 11 Lite 5g A LOT... so,
                          I think this phone will be the winner,
                          FOR ME. :)

                            Would choose the Poco F3 over this

                              still no 3.5mm jack. Are they crazy? Most of us have many 3.5mm jack audio hardware. It's simple and convenient. Is this progress? Leaving out simple and useful features. I doubt it

                                    Great review, my only nitpick is that you should've put a 765G device in the performance comparison (instead of several and very similar performing 720). Since 780G is for all intents and purposes its heir, it would've been nice to see a generation vs generation comparison.

                                      gringo, 13 Apr 2021different SoC ... 4g version is only SD732 8nm the same use... moreWhat are u talking about dude? He compares Mi 11 Lite 4G and Note 10 Pro. They have same SoC that's why he compares the price.

                                        i0S.-.Never.-.Again, 13 Apr 2021It can't be around 20k, that would kill the sales of M... moreMi 10i is already killed by Poco X3 Pro.
                                        Until someone is dying without 5G in India (where transition is one of the slowest), he/she would definitely choose X3 Pro over 10i any given day.
