Alongside its Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro (and a whole slew of other products), Xiaomi today unveiled the Mi 10 Lite 5G, a smartphone that will hurt the competition.

As expected, Xiaomi held its press conference behind closed doors on March 27 in order to present in Europe the Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro, two smartphones that come to attack head-on the Samsung Galaxy S20 and iPhone 11 Pro. Which obviously affects the price.

We expected a little less than the Chinese troublemaker to unveil a myriad of new products for Europe at the same time, starting with the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G, a smartphone with a slightly less impressive technical sheet, but especially much cheaper. There is no doubt that this is a bestseller in the making.

Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G is not light

On board the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G, there is a 6.57-inch AMOLED screen, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G SoC, a quadruple photo module with a 48-megapixel main sensor, a 16-megapixel front camera, a 4160 mAh battery with a fast load of 20 W and 64 to 128 GB of internal storage (in UFS 2.1). In addition, it is 5G compatible, guaranteeing compatibility with the network of tomorrow.

With such features, the brand new smartphone has more than enough to satisfy even demanding users and is quite up to expectations. Which makes its price all the more impressive.

His price against is light

399 euros. This is the price of the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G when it was released in France in early May, with 128 GB of storage. Suffice to say that this was the smartphone that we expected from a manufacturer that has built its reputation on highly accessible smartphones.

Aware that the high prices of the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro might offend its European fans, Xiaomi, therefore, had an excellent idea to present at the same time this version “Lite” particularly interesting for those who seek good value for money before to look for a riot of performance.
