Weekly poll: does the Mi Note 10 Lite have a place in Xiaomi's lineup?

Allow us to be your tour guide, showing you around the family tree of Xiaomi phones. We joke, but the product lineup has gotten quite busy with the unveiling of a “lite” version of the Mi Note 10 phones while at the same time two Redmi Note 9 phones go global.

The Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite is essentially a cheaper version of the previous two Mi Note 10 models. You get the same 6.47” OLED display with curved sides, same Snapdragon 730G chipset, same 5,260mAh battery with 30W fast charge and so on.


The camera is the main difference. The 108MP Samsung sensor is gone, replaced by the 64MP Sony IMX686 sensor. Sony sensor may be smaller, but both have the same pixel size (0.8µm) and support 4-in-1 pixel binning. However, the two telephoto cameras are gone completely. You get to keep the ultrawide camera, albeit with an 8MP sensor (down from 20MP). A 5MP macro camera and a 2MP depth sensor complete the back.

The base memory configuration now features 6GB of RAM and 64GB storage – that can be yours for €350. You can upgrade to 128GB storage for €50 more (before you answer, note that there’s no microSD card slot).

For comparison, the vanilla Mi Note 10 has 6/128GB memory and while it was pricey at launch, Xiaomi Spain currently sells it for €470 – just €70 more than the “lite” model with equivalent storage. The Pro version is still €650, which takes it out of contention (it only adds 2GB of RAM and doubles the storage, not enough to justify the price premium).
