It is also the only smartphone in that price range to feature a 108MP Samsung ISOCELL HM2 sensor along with a 13MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. The Xiaomi Mi 10i also comes with a 6.67-inch IPS LCD panel with a refresh rate of 120Hz; another feature reserved for high-end smartphones. 

Other Xiaomi Mi 10i specifications include 5G connectivity, thanks to its Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G chipset, 6GB of LPDDR4 RAM, 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage which can be expanded via a memory card, a 4,800mAh battery that can be charged at 33W, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and NFC. It'll be interesting to see what other OEMs like Realme, Oppo, and Vivo have in store for us as a Xiaomi Mi 10i alternative.
