Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite

“Starting with a properly excellent display and the longest battery life in the class, the Mi 10 Lite 5G has a solid foundation. On top of that, it builds with a good camera experience, and less discriminating users may be just fine without a telephoto. Sure, low-light performance isn't stellar, and selfies aren't up to scratch, but neither is dealbreakingly bad. Add some MIUI software goodness and little niceties like the IR blaster and the FM radio, and it's a versatile midranger that makes a ton of sense. The Mi 10 Lite 5G claim to fame was bringing next-gen connectivity support at a low price. That it manages to achieve just fine, the numbers don't lie. But it's also a nice phone outside of that magical 5G and comes with our recommendation.”

“Considering its price range, the Lite model of the Mi-10 series hardly has any weaknesses worth mentioning. The battery life is excellent, MiUI 12 turned out well, the workmanship and choice of materials are on a good level, and the WLAN is fast. In addition, the mid-range smartphone offers very good equipment, such as 5G support and a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G SoC, as well as an attractive OLED panel. We were also positively surprised by the main camera.”

“As the market hots up to deliver a more affordable 5G phone, Xiaomi's offering is high up the scale. Ignore the name for a moment and focus on what matters: the Mi 10 Lite delivers class-leading spec in an altogether tempting package. Some software foibles and a total camera oversell are downsides, but there's not much else that disappoints here.”

“The Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G is a solid mid-range phone, with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and battery life for days. It’s got all the power and storage space that most users will need, stylish looks, and a camera setup that’s not bad at all. That camera is even better if you add the modified Gcam app, bringing all of Google’s computational photography smarts to the handset. Sure, the 5G bands aren’t the ones used in the U.S., but it’s still a lot of phone for the money.”
