Prospective buyers should also know that this phone has a lot in common with the non-Pro model, with the main difference being that device has a lower-res main camera and is a bit cheaper. This phone also represents a bit of a downgrade from the Mi 10 series, particularly in the screen department - gone is the curved-edge AMOLED display of those handsets, and instead there’s an LCD panel which is boringly flat.

So some might be put off by the phone’s appearance, and we wouldn’t blame you.

Plus, the back is a fingerprint magnet that has a better memory of accidental touches than a pedantic referee, and the camera bump is absolutely massive. It’s big, and we imagine some users will find it too much so. It’s not all fun and games though - we took particular issue with a few points in the phone’s design. We found its fingerprint sensor easy to use, the battery life was great, and there seemed to be fewer pre-installed third-party apps, which tend to fall under ‘bloatware’, than we see on most Xiaomi phones. We’ve got a few other good things to say about the phone.

It would work well with the high-refresh-rate screen, as 144Hz is usually great for gaming, though few mobile games are actually optimized for that just yet. The Snapdragon 865 processor used here provides snappy speeds, useful for editing those super-high-res photos you just took or playing games. The auxiliary cameras don’t add much though. This is certainly a ‘brute force’ tactic to getting on our best phones list, with sheer resolution prioritized above nuanced AI software or huge-pixel-size sensors, but it gets the job done. Firstly, as with many Xiaomi phones, the Mi 10T Pro has a pretty impressive main camera, with the same 108MP snapper we’ve seen in a few of the company’s other phones.
