As Xiaomi ’s first flagship phone that really impacted the high-end market, the Xiaomi Mi 10 series, whether it is product power or a starting price of 570 USD, as Lei Jun said, has achieved “impressive, kind-hearted pricing” and is worth starting. This time, the Xiaomi Mi 10 series directly released Xiaomi Mi 10 and Xiaomi Mi Pro 10 products. After the conference, many people wondered what the difference between the two phones is and which one to buy. 

Let’s take a look at what is different between the Xiaomi 10 and Xiaomi 10 Pro

The first is taking pictures. Both Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro have 100-megapixel quad cameras, but the lens specifications are different.

The Xiaomi 10’s four lenses are: 108MP custom main lens (1/33 inch photosensitive element, OIS optical image stabilization, 1.6μm large pixel 4 in 1 super pixel, f / 1.69 super aperture, 7P lens).

13 million super wide-angle lens (f / 2.4 aperture, 123 ° super wide angle);

2 million macro lens (f / 2.4 aperture, 2-10cm macro);

2 million fine depth of field lens (f / 2.4 aperture).

The 108MP main lens of Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro is upgraded with an 8P lens, and the ultra-wide-angle lens is changed to 20 million pixels (f / 2.2 aperture, 117 ° ultra-wide angle).

At the same time, the 2 million macro lens and 2 million depth of field lens were replaced by 8 million telephoto lenses (supporting 10x hybrid optical zoom, OIS optical image stabilization, 1.0 μm, f / 2.0 aperture), 12 million portrait lenses (2x optical Zoom, 1.4-micron large pixels, 2PD dual-core focus, f / 2.0 aperture).

It can be seen that Xiaomi 10 Pro is mainly superior in telephoto (10x hybrid optical zoom, 50x digital zoom) and portrait shooting.

In addition, in the special camera function, Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro has super wide-angle super night scene, 960fps slow-motion shooting, 960fps macro slow-motion shooting, moon mode (requires AI camera), and the video super image stabilization has been upgraded to the PRO version. Stronger anti-shake capability.

This is also the reason why Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro can get DxOMark mobile phone photo with 124 points first.
