Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro: Why So EXPENSIVE??
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 เม.ย. 2020
- The Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro is one of the most well-rounded smartphones we've seen this year, managing to provide competitive zoom levels without a unique telescoping lens. But in making a phone with all the bells and whistles, does Xiaomi do enough to justify the asking price?

When reviewers start complaining about fingerprints and wobble... I look no further
MIUI has an app drawer tho its in the settings, I have mine turned on now.
It still need improvements. The UI is very lagging
Yeah, also mine is turned on, I like more with a app drawer.
@Federico Lanza I bought my few month ago and it lagging
So we have different issues then, mine isn't lagging at all, it just sometime the apps disappear in the app drawer but you can simply fix it in setting no biggie and also this only happens when i restart my phone.
@@Saiputera have you ever used it?in terms of speed its flawless..pls dont comment before if you have no experience
Idk, I just can't imagine myself spending 1k on phone no matter the phone.
You've got the Chilled Cow channel on the back! Thats dope.
Xiaomi already stated mi series is for expensive flagship while redmi is for budget friendly phones
I see all these people who are so much surprised or even angry at those Xiaomi and OnePlus pricing moves, and who are praising the iPhone SE for its lower price tag.
Let's clear things out, first: I'm not justifying Xiaomi and OnePlus for their price increases, as it's certainly bad for consumers when prices go up, but just accusing those companies like they "betrayed the user" is a clear mistake, and probably comes from not trying to see the full picture.
Let's be honest, there are manu things and variables into play, here, and I don't want to say that my opinion on the matter is an actual truth, but I'm trying to make some assumptions based on objective informations.
First off, let's start from Apple.
Apple has probably been among the first phone makers to heavily increase the prices, if not THE first to do it.
They were able to get away with it because they had the performance and optimization crown for a long time in the smartphone market, they had huge R&D budget, but they also kept their brand perception on high levels, as they became synonym of reliability, quality and design.
Android phone had hard time to compete with Apple on the higher spectrum of the market, especially to the eye of the common not-so-consciuos-buyer consumer.
This is why Apple got away with the price increases: their competition could not put Apple completely in the shade and some consumers, who saw Apple product as status symbols, welcomed the price hikes like an increase of exclusivity of Apple product.
By doing so, though, Apple opened some space underneath the higher end of the smartphone market.
By making iPhones so expensive, Apple allowed Android makers to charge more for their flagships, giving them more resources to put in marketing and R&D: Android makers could now create higher quality products, market them as true iPhone competitors and they increased their prices too.
But Android makers had still a disadvantage when it came to brand impact and loyalty, and that's why they had to take some risks and push on the bleeding edge of R&D.
There's no perfect Android Phone, but on many aspects there were iPhone competitors in the Android space that did something better than Apple.
For example, the first 2 Google Pixels had incredible camera, like the Huawei P30 Pro. Many Android phones had better batteries, better screens, a more modern design. Apple, though, had always a dependable and complete package. And this is even more true with the iPhone XSs.
But nonetheless, products like the Galaxy Note 8, 9 and 10, the Galaxy S10 and S20, the Pixel, all have born. At higher prices, though.
Many companies, especially those one coming from China, saw that shift in the market and put themselves underneath.
That's how the "budget flagship" was born, actually. OnePlus, Xiaomi, Oppo...
They just offered good packages, with few corners cut here and there to keep an aggressive pricing strategy.
They gained resources, fans and market shares.
Looking for higher margins, they started to push the limits of what people saw as "budget flagships" and increasing prices.
They could do that because the more known flagships were still increasing prices, allowing Xiaomi, OnePlus and other to still offer arguably a better deal while increasing prices with every iteration. But they were also removing those things that justified the lower price.
Looking for higher margins both OnePlus and Xiaomi decided to finally put some effort in the camera department and try to compete at the true high end of the market. They now have both the brand recognition, the fan base and the budget to do it, and there's no actual reason they should not try, from their point of view.
Moreover, at the same time, the actual low end of the market was getting better and better, quite fast actually, and some conscious buyers actually decided not so buy a "budget flagship" and save even more: they still got a good experience, so why not?
This is also one of the reasons why the "budget flagships" were actually pushed higher in price.
Let's talk about this "lower end" of the market.
Redmi phones by Xiaomi got so much affection because of their prices and characteristics, and Xiaomi decided to exploit this "afffection".
Xiaomi and OnePlus want to portray themselves as big players in the flagship market, and they actually somewhat are, but Xiaomi also chose not to leave the more budget market behind and they differentiated their strategy.
While Xiaomi phones got better but also more expensive, they made Redmi an entire standalone lineup.
With Redmi (and Pocophone, let's not forget that) they put themselves back in the "budget flagship" market, with products like the Redmi K20 and now the Redmi K30.
Now Xiaomi is trying to do the budget-friendly player and the high-end-player at the same time, and they could make it work.
OnePlus is trying to do the same thing with this OnePlus 8 release: they finally got to flagship prices and refined their phones accordingly, but they also tried to satisfy the budget buyer with the OnePlus 8.
The problem with OnePlus is that they've been pushing harder than Xiaomi the "we are the best budget choice" button, and got too stuck in the "flagship killer" idea. Moreover it's hard to find the balance in the "budget conscious" segment, now.
The main problem, now, is that you don't need flagship specs anymore to make a good user experience: Snapdragon 765G + UFS 2.1 + 6/8GB LPDDR4X + 1080p 90Hz could do just fine.
You actually don't need Snapdragon 865 + UFS 3.0 + 12/16GB LPDDR5 + 1440p 120Hz, but those things bring a significant increase in price when included in a phone.
The whole idea of the "budget flagship" is old fashion, now.
As Google Pixel 3A demonstrated, you are better off trying to offer a balanced configuration with a good camera.
To get the "budget flagship" you usually have to sacrifice on screen, build quality and photo quality, but now it makes more sense to throw every spec to the wall (OnePlus 8 Pro, Mi 10 Pro, Galaxy S20, iPhone XS) or dial everything down the right amount, especially processor and other stuff like that.
The problem of the OnePlus 8, I feel, is that it doesn't feel neither "meat or fish": it tries to portray himself as a flagship, but has too many compromises over the true flagships. But they haven't dial down specs enough to let a lower price make sense.
The Pixel 4A might have more fortune.
Please, stop saying that it's disappointing seeing those companies incresing the prices of their flagship, and just judge if they're actually able to offer a sensible option at that price tag.
If you are still interested in the "budget flagship" think, look at Realme and Redmi brands. Otherwise you'd be better off with a more balanced product with a better camera.
iPhone SE looks kinda odd in this market, but actually I believe that Apple is trying to disturb Android phone makers in the mid-range market to prevent them from getting too large market share and push Android makers to reconsider their strategies in the low end.
I don't believe that those phones will change anything in the higher end of the market, though...
wow
@@hmilles Penis flower? 6:01
I will just say that xiaomi made a stupid move. Just with pricing policy.. last year the MI 9 started at 500€ ... now they are asking for xiaomi mi 10 ..1000€. And lets look at Oneplus: Oneplus 7 pro started last year at 860€ and now for oneplus 8 pro they want 1000€ .. It seems to be a reasonable price in comparison to previous years.. not like xiaomi they literally doubled their price and that is insane .. At least in my opinion. You can not compare Xiaomi and Oneplus pricing .. Xiaomi is just Insane .. if they realease a 1000€ smartphone in 2022 .. than it would be better.
@@5t4lk3r00 You have to set the price based on the features and the market segment in which you want to compete. Xiaomi changed target, and therefore changed price accordingly. I don't think the difference in price will matter that much.
St4lker you are stupid mi 10 pro costs 770€ in global version and only 680-700 china version and the non pro version can be bought for 570 chinese version and 640 global version, I find these prices really good considering what kind of specs these phones have.
The 799€ and 999€ price was only for the first month with the offer get a "free " tv or a trolley with the phone.
I just finally got mine in. I need to get testing!
Hopefully, you're not positive.
Whoa! Best reviewer Danny Winget was here.
Congratulations, compare it with OP8 pro camera
Excited to see your review compare to other flagship
@@mastergreyskull523 yes
Thank you Joshua. Never miss any video from you.
10/10 on script ;)
Wait what? Josh isn't on Android Authority anymore? Loved this guy in that channel! Nice to see him after a while.
The flagship killer became the victim of the flagship pricing.
Seems like the normal s20 is best bargain on the market
It is only a mad man that will choose s20 over mi 10 pro
Two reasons I'm not buying S20.
1. Exynos chip in my region.
2. No headphone jack.
(Bonus) 3. I don't like One UI
oneplus 8 pro is cheaper by a hundred in merica, so thats already better value there. and the normal oneplus 8 is even cheaper if you want that 5g
Blade you’re still crying about a headphone jack in 2020. Get over it.
@@webby189402194134 one plus 8 pro is not cheaper
Xiaomi releasing 999$ phone
Apple releasing 399$ SE!
crazy how tides have turned
The world is going upside down
$399 recycled crap. I'd rather take the $1k New design than a 6 year old design with new internals
iPhone se2 is outdated mobile with only the good prosessor
Thats not turn table... you just comparing a flagship model with mid range apple model... try get mid range xiaomi phone that same with iphone SE 2020 spec for just 299$
Mi 10 pro is acc 777€ lol
I love movie frame video option hard to find an app that provides that nice to see it built in, hope Samsung adds that too
The phone has an app drawer. My Xiaomi Mi 9T phone already has an drawer in Miui 11 why would their flagship not have one? Just check in the settings
MI 9T has poco launcher pre-installed which has an app drawer. Mi 10 has default MIUI launcher so it doesn't have app drawer.
@@vigneshkumar46 Nah, it does have drawer mode in the settings
@@vigneshkumar46 MIUI now had launcher like Poco launcher. Enable it from settings.
He said by defult
Dude i can't find it on my MI 9T Pro, where is it ?
861 USD here in Bangkok for the 12GB / 256GB version. No issues. And the Band20 which is missing is absolutely no issue, as 5G has arrived in all major cities.
A clean presentation...well done Josh!
I just realized you say "but" for punctuation, when it's not meant to be used in the middle of sentences lol which confuses the heck out of me.
Not sure but looks like you missed on the TRUE STEREO SPEAKERS.. 😂✌️
he did not
He did, you foul man.
Can you pause video during recording on this phone?? Thanks😉
Where can you buy this in the US?
MIUI does have an app drawer. It's in the home settings like other skins and you can enable and disable it at will.
This phone seemed to perform very well but I’m not sure there is enough on offer to compete at this price point, especially when thinking about the camera experience when compared to a device like the iPhone 11 Pro or even the LG V60 at a lower price.
You made me look for Chrono Jigga. Amazing.
How can you miss mentioning the set of speakers this phone has
Hi Joshua, can you please confirm if the Redmi K30 Pro main camera has OIS
Have a question for you Joshua? What camera setup do you think is better, oppo find X2 Pro or Xiaomi mi 10 Pro? Live the natural look of the pixel but want more versatility with more zoom and ultrawide.
Hi Joshua, what game were you playing?
Joshua one of the best reviewers always enjoyed to listen to you.
Excellent video review
oh how OnePlus and Xiaomi have fallen......the irony
Claudio Tapia OnePlus hasn’t fallen.. it has RISEN
@@gravyeusebio24 lol. NO.
@@gravyeusebio24 risen in price
@@nwjonathans4642 lol. YES.
@@Jesus-eu4gn lol use a oneplus phone then day. Oneplus is one few brands which have die heart because of their os and fast updates. 8 pro finally has camera that better camera then even s20 ultra
resulting in really rich results!
I love this phone, especially the dimensions, speakers and cameras... That software and price though... Especially when the same phone in Asia is €200 less.
I was interested in buying the phone. But couldn't decide between the global version or the CN version. The CN version appears to have more frequency bands supported in the United States. Can we please have your thoughts on this?
Buy global version
@Mohammad Al-Shuwaiee n
Thanks for addressing the 5G CONNECTION IN THE US. YOURE THE ONLY REVIEWER THAT ADDRESSED FUNCTIONALLY OF 5G ON A 5G MARKETED PHONE. THANKS BRO. THE EURO CHARGER? HOW TO CONVERT AND GET SAME CHARGE SPEED?? 👏👏👏👏👌👌
It is a great step from Xiaomi to try to catch up with high end devices but the have to deserve this price i mean a phone in that price without ip rating and an average camera performance this will not compete with other phlagships
How do we still have a camera-bump during this time in our technological capability...
Nice from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Still MIUI have ads tho?
Once 5g hardware become cheaper, will flagship prices go down a bit? A bit weird to think that will happen tho, but this year flagships prices are nuts.
Keep seeing WWE related content on all the phones you review, now just waiting for wrestling references in the videos, great job btw always loved your vids
His reference with uninstalling the wwe app comes from the fact that wwe released 20 wrestlers in one swoop last Wednesday
You can pick an app, and then just drag it to the top side of the screen to delete it
Hi. What would you suggest @this time? Oneplus 8 pro (@Rs.55k) or Huawei P30 pro (also@Rs.56k).? Both have GMS. Only OnePlus will get one more Android OS update till Android 12. Huawei will get till Android 11. My preferences are IP68, Camera, snappy performance & battery.
Lun lei
Huawei is better option
Its weird to see reviews for phones that wont work correctly in the US. Kinda sad.
For app drawer download the latest version of the launcher from chrome. Thr alpha launcher I think I'm not sure 😂😂. I have custom rom on mi 9t pro so I don't remember much about miui😂😂.
That camera hump is incredible. Just make the rest of the phone thicker to reduce how far it juts out. My OnePlus 7 Pro is a thick boi, but at least the camera hump is minimal.
P.S. my Essential PH-1 is far thinner than the OnePlus 7 Pro.
because the size of the sensor is much bigger -> bigger lens -> space.
also, the 3.8X telephoto takes space
This phone is already like a brick
Many apps will be locked to Chinese version like TikTok (internet access will be blocked by the system if using version downloaded from Play store) if the phone was sold in China.
What about the non pro model? Could you also do a review about that. It's only €700 with similar internals, worse camera and bigger battery
might as well go with the K30 Pro once it is released globally
@@MorkusReX that will also be expensive around 650€ and has no 90hz
The thing is that the new snap SOC is soo expensive that manufacturer have to increase the overall price for the 5G. I think that qualcomm goes in the wrong direction : I'd rather have a good smartphone with great LTE capabilities for less than 1k than a smartphone that has to cut corners somewhere to be able to reach that 1k price point. It's the same with OnePlus 8 pro that had no other choice to accept the fact that Qualcomm has quasi-monopole over the whole market of high-end flagship chips. The only company that does it right is samsung with their exynos soc. Granted they are not as good as the qualcomm ones but if they're much cheaper than the flagship soc from qualcomm and about the "same" features... I understand why google went that way and made agreements with Samsung
Blame Qualcomm for higher price. Its 5g modem built in, make everything pricier
Smartphones are becoming so boring,I can remember the days of feature phones I can remember being so excited about them. Now phone prices are so ridiculous and a new one releasing almost everyday...it's crazy 😩
1k wow.... That's nuts...
I love this phone😮😮😮👍👍👍
no ToF camera either, why couldn't it connect to the 5G USA network?
Damn. Now xiaomi too?!
Hey! Can You Please Do Review Find X2 Pro? Thats What Not All Channels Have It Yet. Im Waiting
No don't
You can get the Realme X2 Pro or even the Mi 9T Pro, so many good phones from last year that are still very good.
And cheaper now.
Nice to see jushua in this channel
Should i buy mi 10 or oneplus 8?I am not talking about pro versions on both.my preference is gaming and selfie
Mi 10 is way better than OnePlus 8
Mi 10, op 8 has a very bad camera
2:18 I like this feature =D
The base model goes for around 653 Euros in china
the ads is annoying too in miui specially jn the file manager
I remember in 2016 my flgship Xiaomi Mi 5 only cost around RM1500(350usd).They said their smartphone is cheap bcoz they got some revenue by displaying ads on their own official Mi Apps like Music Player, File Manager, etc but now 2020 look at that price damn lol. At least they should remove the ads on their apps...
Mi 9 was also 350€ and now 999? 🤦♀️
It's only $715 in Hong Kong, that £999 price is only for EU based.
Would be perfect but... no ip68 :(
I'm using the #oneplus7t , which unfortunately misses HIDE NAV BAR FUNCTION whereas the Pro model has it, I could really clean up my home screen with that, and gain screen real estate in many situations, I wish they would activate it!
Nicky Chimes mine have it, mine is the OnePlus 7T international version
Every Xiaomi has an App Drawer. It's just not enabled by default. Go to "Settings" - Tap "Home Screen" - Tap "With App Drawer". That's it.
Well there is an app drawer or at least in the Poco f1 which also runs miui 11....
And the price is about €770 8gb/256gb... and €807 12gb/ 256 gb
As well Xiaomi phones fall fast in price too!
as well the camera blows the oneplus 8 pro out the water if you check techzg video of the comparision!
Where are these prices? Or do you mean the mi 10 pro without 20 band? The global version for EU is much more expensive
There's an option for app drawer if I'm not wrong
There's the Mi Note 10 Pro which has an identical camera set-up that's cheaper with the 700 series chipset
Following the One+ strategy
Just one and a half years ago the whole world was cursing Apple for a $999 phone and now Xiaomi wants to sell stuff for $999 🤦🏻♂️
In malaysia with price about the samae, op8 pro is more worth with 120hz and ip68 rating
You forgot to mention a few things -
1. Dual symmetrical speakers (front and bottom), you didnt touch base on that
2. The phone is upscaling 6k video to 8k, it's not native 8k
3. Pixel binned to 27 mp and NOT 25mp
A bit of work before the video review could have helped :)
I would have considered buying this if it does have an IP rating with that kind of price.
4:20 There is app drawer in settings
you can select appdrawer in settings 😒
A software glitch at around 1:17, from Instagram to Home Screen
This phone looks epic.
For the same price, better wait for the Sony Xperia 1 Mark II with the Sony XM4 in the box. 👍😊
sharp Aquos R5g is a Sony Xperia 1ii killer. Both Japan's Made and IP Ratings and the software, Stabilization and 8k Video Aquos r5g kill Sony Xperia 1ii. Photo are almost same.. and cheapest price
Why did you transfer from android authority 🤔🤔🤔
Back then, 3000mah were considered big. Now 4500mah are not enough to satisfy people 👌
Because of QHD screens and 120/90Hz displays
Question.....lol what's the game you're playing in the vid?
its shin megami tensei liberation dx2 lol
@@Dandanira Thank you lol 👍🏽
what game is that????
Still don't understand why people cry for the app drawer. It's just a dump site for apps that gets very messy very quickly. Just organise your home screens. Never needed it in iOS and never needed it when switched to MiUI. Waiting for my Mi 10 Pro to arrive.
This phone makes the OnePlus 8 Pro better in the eyes of most consumers.
The pricing was a mistake...
What game is that at 2:45?
The pics on the mi10 are insanely soft
Does it support USA GSM BANDS UP TO 5G????????????? I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY NOONE ADDRESSES THIS. ALSO WHY DONT THEY ADDRESS THE EURO CHARGER AND HOW TO GET A USA FORMATTED VERSION AND ALSO EXPLAIN ADAPTER USE AND THE AFFECT OF THE ADAPTER VERSUS CHARGING SPEED. WHATS THE POINT IF YOUR PHONE DOESN'T WORK IN THE US ON 5G AND GET 50W FAST CHARGE IN THE US.???
My redmi note 8 pro with miui 11 based on android 10 has app drawer.
I'll rather get the LG V60, better offer + its cheaper too
Xiaomi has better software update compared to lg
Companies like Xiaomi and One plus, got ahead because they provided good products at a reasonable price, becoming a good alternative to Samsung and Apple. But if there's barely any difference in price, why should someone chose them over Samsung or Apple?
I just noticed. .
But is josh Filipino??
Yessss. Watch his vlogs
Okay now that that dust has settled....what's better original Galaxy Note 10 or Mi Note 10 Pro?
Note 10 better specs better build quality also xiaomi has no waterproofing
Bro it is an option in the setting
Mabuhay
Anyone else face the same problem with Xiaomi 9t Pro? 🙁
My Xiaomi 9T Pro has problem with uploading video in Instagram as only the first clip is successful, the rest goes error. I read in Mi community, there are some people who face the same problem and posted there, but the company doesn't reply. I contacted Xiaomi thru their official Facebook page, but still haven't replied me.
Therefore, to those who is considering to buy the latest Xiaomi should make sure there is no the same problem. I feel so disappointed cuz I use IG a lot but can't upload video 😔
2:43 That game look awesome. What's the game name?
I can buy this phone here in Canada for $720 CDN. The Oneplus 8 Pro I would go for costs $1549 CDN. Different specs I know, but with how I use a phone I wouldn’t notice a difference. So Xiaomi’s price still looks pretty good to me.
And I love this camera setup - it’s perfect for the pics I routinely take with a phone.
EDIT: My bad - I was thinking of the Mi NOTE 10 Pro. Xiaomi has got to come up with more distinctive names for their devices (and stop taking marketing lessons from Intel and Nvidia). In Canada the Mi 10 Pro can be had for under $1400 CDN, so it may still be a better option than the Oneplus 8 Pro. But for $720 CDN I would probably still go for the Mi Note 10 Pro instead.
can you post the link to the 720 price in canada? thanks !
Mark
I goofed - I was thinking of the Mi NOTE 10 Pro, which could be bought for $720 CDN from pdaplaza.ca
The two phones are very similar design wise (including their names!) but they do have different specs. The Mi 10 Pro can be had for under $1400 CDN (same site), which may still make it a better buy than the Oneplus 8 Pro depending on what you are after. But for $720 I would still go for the Mi Note 10 Pro for my personal needs.
You can compare the two side by side at gsmarena.com to get a better feel for the two devices.
In China it costs $700. Much better, yet OnePlus 7 is only $580- ish in China.
