The cancellation of MWC 2020 has temporarily delayed the presentation of the new terminals that the companies that had not canceled their presence at the fair, had planned to present with great fanfare. Fortunately, we have not had to wait long to see the new Xiaomi Mi 10 family.
The new Xiaomi Mi 10 family follows in the footsteps of the fantastic Mi 9, in its different versions that it presented last year, implementing the most current technology such as Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865 processor, 12 GB of RAM, AMOLED screen (manufactured by Samsung) and with a 90 Hz refresh rate.
Unlike last year, the Mi 10 range consists only of two terminals: Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro. The differences between the two terminals can be found both in the photographic section and in the storage space and battery capacity (Although it is minimal, there it is).

Design of the Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro
In case anyone had any doubts, Samsung has gotten away with it and the notch is less and less present in current smartphones. Xiaomi has chosen, like Samsung (who in turn is the manufacturer of the screens of these terminals) to implement a hole in the upper left of the screen to integrate the front camera. Pink, blue and gray are the three colors in which this terminal is available.
Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro cameras
Like Samsung has implemented in the entire new S20 range that it presented a few days ago, Xiaomi offers us a 108 mp main sensor on all models. So far we find similarities in this section. While the Mi 10 incorporates a 2 mp bokeh camera, a 13 mpx wide angle and a 2 mpx macro, the Mi 10 Pro offers us a 12 mpx bokeh sensor, a 20 mp wide angle and a 10 telephoto lens. increase.
Prices of the Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro
At the moment we do not know the official prices in Spain of the new highest range of Xiaomi, but we can get an idea of the price at which they will reach the Spanish and Latin American market. The Xiaomi Mi 10 has a starting price, at the change of 540 euros (4.099 yuan), while the Pro version starts with the 665 euros (4.999 yuan).
This prices represent an increase 21% in the case of Mi 10 against Mi 9 and 34% in the case of Mi 9 Pro and Mi 10 Pro. The blame is on the support for 5G networks, better screen, better memory ... let's go what it offers us Samsung currently, since Apple still does not offer support for 5G networks in any of its terminals.
Next February 23 will be officially presented for the rest of the world, it will be then when we know the final price of Xiaomi's new highest range for 2020-
Not suitable for all pockets
Xiaomi came to the market with very low prices for the specifications they offered, with which it has managed to retain a large number of users. However, and just like OnePlus is doing and Huawei did at the time, Each new version, especially the ones that offers us the highest specifications, have a higher price, practically at that of the cheapest high-end models from Samsung and Apple.
At the same price, or for a little more, the quality that we will find in both Samsung and Apple terminals we will not find it in any other brand. The strategy of practically selling at cost to try to build loyalty to a niche market may not be more appropriate. Two clear examples are found, once again, both in Samsung and Apple.
