Third-party reviews

What we like about Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra (16GB + 512GB)

  • Outstanding, very bright 120Hz AMOLED display with great color and contrast.
  • Extremely fast 120W wired charging (0-100% in under 25 minutes) and 50W wireless charging.
  • Superb camera system (main and zoom) with excellent day/low-light photo quality, very wide ultrawide lens, and usable 5x optical zoom.
  • Great performance for gaming and daily use thanks to the Snapdragon 865 processor and effective liquid cooling system.
  • Premium build quality and unique 'Transparent Edition' design option.
  • Very good stereo speakers that are loud and clear.
  • Snappy and accurate in-display fingerprint sensor.
  • Good overall battery life, lasting a full day under heavy use for many users.
  • Good value for money compared to other high-end flagships at the time of its release.
  • MIUI 12 is generally snappy, highly customizable, and includes useful features like a call recorder and app drawer.

What we don't like about Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra (16GB + 512GB)

  • Officially available only in China, requiring import and potential hassle with Google services/ROM flashing for international users.
  • Gets uncomfortably hot during 120W wired and 50W wireless charging, raising concerns about long-term battery longevity.
  • Night mode performance is underwhelming and struggles with blur, flares, and detail compared to competitors.
  • Lack of an official IP rating for water and dust resistance, despite having some splash resistance seals.
  • The display is only Full HD+ (1080p+) while some competitors in the price range offered Quad HD+ options.
  • The phone is large, heavy (over 220g), and can be cumbersome for some users.
  • Occasional camera autofocus issues, limited dynamic range, and noise in low light video were noted by some reviewers.
  • No expandable storage (microSD card slot) or a 3.5mm headphone jack.
  • Prone to ghost touches and stuttering during some video games, affecting display touch performance in certain use cases.

Verdict

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra (16GB+512GB) is a premium flagship smartphone that set records with its cutting-edge specifications and ultra-fast charging capabilities. Its primary pros include a brilliant 120Hz AMOLED display, the powerful Snapdragon 865 processor, a massive 4,500 mAh battery, and an impressive quad-camera system with a 120x hybrid zoom lens that received top marks from DxoMark. The 120W wired fast charging is a standout feature, capable of fully charging the device in roughly 23 minutes. The main drawback is its extremely limited availability, having only been officially released in China as a special anniversary edition, making it difficult and expensive to purchase globally.
