Xiaomi Malaysia announces second batch of 6000 Xiaomi Mi 3 units coming on 27 May 2014

Just as was hinted by the DiGi registration of interest page for the Xiaomi Mi 3, the second batch of units for the smartphone has been announced for 27 May 2014. In response to the great demand for the first batch (and perhaps all the raging fans not being able to get through Xiaomi servers or PayPal payments) Xiaomi Malaysia have also announced that this second batch will consist of 6000 Xiaomi Mi 3 smartphones. While this is 2000 units more than the previous batch, we think this batch will go just as quickly, especially as some third-party sellers are buying the units in bulk and then reselling them at a higher price afterwards. No news if there are going to be any other limitations this time to stop this from happening, but again we reiterate that there is NO news that Xiaomi Malaysia will stop bringing in the Xiaomi Mi 3 just yet, so if you just wait and be a little patient, you will be able to get the smartphone at the normal retail price of RM889.

Xiaomi Malaysia confirmed the Mi Electric Scooter Pro is coming soon

In case you missed it, Xiaomi Malaysia sent out a teaser that a bunch of new ecosystem products will be launching soon on 15 July 2020. To continue hype up this, the company just confirmed that a new Mi Electric Scooter is indeed one of the new products but without mentioning the name. Judging by the design, it's very likely to be the Mi Electric Scooter Pro (M365).

Comparing with the OG Mi Electric Scooter, the pro variant is a much better version (obviously) with an increased riding distance and a top speed of 45km and 30km respectively (the predecessor is 30km and 25km respectively). On top of that, another improvement is the LED display showing more information than before for the rider. According to the Xiaomi Global page, this includes switching modes (ECO, Standard and Sport) by double-pressing the power button, as well as monitoring the power and speed in real-time.

Since the pro variant can go up to 45km before needing to recharge, that also means the battery is improved (18,650mAh). There's smart power management as well to help protect the scooter from being overcharged overnight and even having a temperature resistance. Other than that, the rest remains more or less the same such as the front headlight, red tail light, the folding mechanic and more.

We expect Xiaomi Malaysia to tease us more this week, there are still the Mi Stick TV, Mi Band 5 and a potentially new smartphone. Until then, stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.


Xiaomi Malaysia confirms launch of Redmi Note 9S on 23 March 2020, comes with Snapdragon 720G and 6GB RAM

If you're wondering when Xiaomi plans to bring the Redmi Note 9 series to Malaysia, wonder no more. It was just a few days when Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 9 series in India. But Xiaomi Malaysia has now confirmed that one of the two Redmi Note 9 series devices will be coming to Malaysia.

According to Xiaomi Malaysia, the Redmi Note 9S will be unveiled in Malaysia on 23 March 2020. It will be launched here as the Redmi Note 9S, which we believe to be the Redmi Note 9 Pro that was launched in India. As a reminder, the two devices that Xiaomi launched in India were the Redmi Note 9 Pro and Note 9 Pro Max. Both are similar in terms of design, with the main differences found in the maximum specifications.

If our prediction is accurate, then we'll be getting a device that comes equipped with a Snapdragon 720G chipset, up to 6GB of RAM, up to 128GB of internal storage, and a 6.67-inch display. The Redmi Note 9S should also come with a quad-camera setup that includes a 48MP main lens, 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, 5MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor, as well as a 16MP front selfie camera.

You can expect to be able to purchase this device for not more than ~RM917, which makes it a fairly affordable lower mid-ranger. With that said, will you be buying this when it launches here? Do let us know your thoughts on this new Xiaomi device. For more news like this, stay tuned to TechNave.com.


Xiaomi Malaysia gives away high capacity power banks to journalists outside King's palace

With the political mess that's been happening the last few days, it's heart-warming to hear news of people going out of their way to be kind. Yesterday, the Yang di-pertuan Agong decided to treat the hardworking media waiting outside the King's palace to some McDonalds. That gave Xiaomi Malaysia the idea for something similar.

This morning, Xiaomi Malaysia gave away 20000 mAh Mi Power Banks to the journalists outside the King's palace. It's a nice gesture from Xiaomi Malaysia since journalists often have to work in places without a power socket for charging.

Xiaomi Malaysia hinting Mi Mix 3 under RM2500?

Today, on Xiaomi Malaysia's  Facebook page, the company has officially teased its upcoming flagship for January 2019. While they didn't say what smartphone it was, the tagline - "SLIDING IN SOON" is an obvious hint on the Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 and the price says under RM2500. For all we know, we think it's probably going to be RM2499 (more or less) and reserved for the 8GB + 256GB model that was revealed in China.

On that note, there are currently three Mi Mix 3 models in China which are the 6GB + 128GB, 8GB + 128GB and the latter that we mentioned just now. From the last time that we calculated, the starting price could start from ~RM1978 from a direct currency conversion, followed by ~RM2158. Judging from the prices, we say it's quite reasonable and that'd be a fantastic price tag for Malaysians.

Just a quick recap on the tech specs, it sports a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset, a 6.39-inch full-screen AMOLED display with a magnetic slider hiding the 24MP + 2MP dual front camera and many more. You can check out the full list over here.

Xiaomi Malaysia introduces three new eco-friendly products starting from RM99

Apart from the Redmi Note 7 and Redmi 7 announcement, Xiaomi Malaysia also revealed three new ecosystem products for the household which are the Mi Home Security Camera 360° 1080p, Mi Smart Sensor Set and a Mi LED Smart Bulb. No launch sale was mentioned for the ecosystem products, but the following prices are RM159, RM329 and RM99 which probably means they are available now.

As the name suggests, the Mi Home Security Camera can record footages in 1080p and can rotate itself in any direction as it pleases. It even has night vision and can make calls (two-way communication) as well. Should it detect a suspicious human within its view, it will set off an instant alert to the Mi Home app on your phone, which you can control from there.

Honestly, the Mi Home Security Camera looks quite cute

The Mi LED Smart Bulb is said to be quite eco-friendly and long lasting

Home security doesn't stop there, there are extra products such as the Mi Smart Sensor Set to automate your home with security alerts. They can also be controlled from the Mi Home app and be connected wirelessly through Zigbee protocol. Finally, the Mi LED Smart Bulb has 16 million colour options which the user can adjust from the Mi Home app. No external hub is required for installation.

Apple iPhone 14 Max faces supply chain issues for the display

If the rumours were to be trusted, Apple would replace the iPhone 14 mini with an iPhone 14 Max this year. However, it seems like there will be some obstacles faced with this new variant, as it's reported that the device's production is currently running behind schedule due to supply chain issues.

According to Ross Young, a reputable display supply analyst, the iPhone 14 Max's standard large-sized display panel is still way behind through August. It's worth mentioning that the display used on this model will be different from the one on iPhone 14 Pro Max, as the former doesn't support ProMotion while the latter does.

The source mentions that the reason for Apple to go with making large standard iPhones could be to boost its international sales in nations like China, where larger-screen smartphones tend to dominate the market. It's still unknown how big this iPhone 14 Max will be. For now, we could assume it's the same size as the Pro variant.

What do you think about the news? Leave a comment to let us know your thoughts, and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more iPhone 14 reports.

According to the tweet, the company will be bringing in some new ecosystem products into Malaysia on 15 July 2020. Not only that but they also put up some big hints of what to expect so here we go.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max's renders arrived with 20% thinner bezels

All the rumours regarding the iPhone 14 series might have convinced us that the devices will get rid of the notch this time. However, not only that will change, it seems like Apple could reduce the size of the bezels, as new information claims that the iPhone 14 Pro Max will have 20% thinner bezels.

Newly shared computer-aided design (CAD) renders shared by the Twitter account ShrimpApplePro showcase the iPhone 14 Pro Max with a punch-hole cutout design one more time. The design is aligned with what we've seen from 91Mobiles and Max Weinbach. Besides the renders, there is also a range of specific measurements for different aspects of the device.

Deleted the last one because of wrong calculation. That’s why you should double check everything. pic.twitter.com/OG7uO1FBxK

According to the measurements, the iPhone 14 Pro Max's bezels will reportedly be 1.95mm thick, a moderate reduction compared to the iPhone 13 Pro Max's 2.42mm bezels. Despite that, the source mentions that the change might not be drastically visible to the eyes as the measurement doesn't include the 1.15mm thickness of the stainless steel frame that sits around the display.

Are you excited about seeing the first iPhone with a punch-hole cutout? Leave a comment to let us know how you feel, and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more iPhone rumours.

Xiaomi Malaysia will launch a RedmiBook laptop for the first time in Malaysia soon

For the first time ever, Xiaomi Malaysia is actually bringing the RedmiBook 15 into the Malaysian market. Xiaomi laptops have been in the industry for pretty long and it's bizarre to see one of the models finally coming here on 6 June 2022.

What tech specs can we expect? Well, here's the thing - the RedmiBook 15 doesn't exist but there is a RedmiBook Pro 15 that was released in China three months ago. With that, we can assume that the RedmiBook 15 is quite likely to be a lesser variant of the RedmiBook Pro 15. There's also a RedmiBook 15 e-learning edition but we wouldn't count on that (unless proven otherwise).

For your information, the RedmiBook Pro 15 features either a 12th Gen Intel Core or AMD 6000 series processor, accompanied by 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of PCIe 4.0 storage. The GPU is from NVIDIA, using an RTX 2060 with 4GB GDDR6 RAM. Sporting a 15-inch IPS LCD with 3200 x 2000 pixels, the display also supports a 90Hz refresh rate and a 16:10 aspect ratio.

The RedmiBook Pro 15 is also capable of fast charging (100W) that complements the 72Wh battery. There are plenty of ports too, such as Thunderbolt USC C, USC A, an HDMI and even an SD card reader. It comes installed with Windows 11 so there's no need to install it again.

The starting price of the laptop in China is 5299 Yuan which is roughly ~RM3505. We can expect it to be lesser than that in the Malaysian market since we are getting the standard RedmiBook 15 only. Are you excited and looking forward? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.

Apple iPhone 14 faces quality issues for the rear camera lens, but it's been dealt with

The iPhone 14 series that is expected to launch in September is facing quite some obstacles. Earlier, it was reported that the iPhone 14 Max had some supply chain issues with the display. Until now, the iPhone 14 gets hit with a new problem, and it's regarding the camera lens' quality.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that an Apple supplier, Genius, is facing quality issues related to the iPhone 14's rear lenses. They likely suffered from coating-crack quality issues, which resulted in Apple transferring about 10 million lens orders to Largan to avoid iPhone 14 shipment delays. The Taiwanese company is said to be capable of filling the supply gap.

Kuo further mentions that Genius should address the issues within two months, or else Apple would shift more orders to Largan for the lenses. The iPhone 14 series consisting of four models, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max, is still believed to go on sale as planned. Let's hope the devices won't face any other issues before the launch.

Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro gets the highest DxOMark score on the same day of its launch

Today is only the first day for the Xiaomi Mi 10 series to meet the world, and the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro has already gotten a high recognition for its cameras. Last year, Xiaomi beat every other brands’ flagships and took the crown for the best smartphone camera with its Xiaomi Mi Note 10. Now, the company has done it again with Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro getting the highest score which is 124 from the DxOMark camera test.

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro has almost the same camera hardware as the Xiaomi Note 10. However, thanks to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 chipset, the company’s latest device becomes more powerful at processing the pictures and delivers better results. For the camera specs, the Mi 10 Pro comes with 108MP (Main) + 12MP (Short telephoto) + 8MP (Long telephoto) + 20MP (Ultrawide) camera sensors.

This time, Xiaomi has improved the device’s dynamic range compared to last year’s Mi Note 10. It has been shown that the Mi 10 Pro is able to perform better than most of the smartphones while shooting in bright outdoor conditions and high-contrast scenes. Other than that, the device has also done an amazing job capturing details and textures during the tests. For the night scene, the picture’s result is far better than the one taken on the Mi Note 10 Pro, by offering better exposure and less noise.

When recording videos, the Mi 10 Pro has very efficient video stabilization. In video samples, the device did a better job of keeping things smooth and steady compared to the Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max when running while recording. The device’s autofocus system is also said to be fast and accurate, which makes refocusing actions much less noticeable in video clips.

According to this new report, the ongoing geopolitical tension between China and Taiwan is not affecting the Apple iPhone 14's launch. TF Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that there were no impacts made to iPhone 14 supply chain production, and shipment schedules are still going well.

We're glad to see that the production of the iPhone 14 series is still going strong despite the obstacles it has faced. Not just luck, Apple has worked its best to avoid any delays for its upcoming devices.

Currently, Apple’s fastest charger is still clocked at 18W with LG’s at 21W. Therefore, getting rid of cables and ports is not a dream anymore with Xiaomi achieving this technology. Other than that, the new poster also revealed that the device is going to support 50W wired charging and 10W reverse wireless charging.

The much-anticipated Xiaomi Mi 10 series is going to be launched on 13th February 2020 which is tomorrow. We can’t wait for the company to announce their new flagship after they have impressed us last year with the Mi Note 10 being crowned as the best smartphone camera. Let’s wait for tomorrow to check out the new Mi 10 series!

Share with us your opinion on the 30W wireless charging support from Xiaomi on our Facebook page. Stay tuned to TechNave.com for more smartphone updates.


Xiaomi Mi 10 might come with high refresh rate screen and large battery in 2020

Xiaomi has proved itself again by standing strong in this tough competition for smartphones with Xiaomi Mi Note 10 this year. The Mi Note 10 has been crowned as the best smartphone camera of 2019 thanks to its 108MP camera sensor. That makes us want to see more creations from the Chinese smartphone manufacturer, especially its flagship for next year which is going to be the Xiaomi Mi 10.

Earlier, we’ve heard rumours that Xiaomi is working on devices that come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset and 108MP camera like the one on Mi Note 10. The two devices were listed as model numbers M2001J1E and M2001J1C, which shows that Xiaomi is going to launch a series of Mi 10 smartphones. Other than that, the devices are expected to support 66W fast charging technology as well.

Now, there are new rumours coming in saying that the new devices from Xiaomi will have high refresh rate screens and probably large batteries. These two tech specs definitely go well with one another, as higher refresh rate screens consume more power. Aside from that, the Mi 10 series smartphones will be supporting 5G, as it is clear that 2020 is going to be the year for 5G networks to spread wider.

Xiaomi Mi 10 series tech specs and hands-on video leaked ahead of launch

With the cancellation of MWC 2020, brands will have to find their own venues to do their big products reveals. For Xiaomi, it will be doing its live launch in China later today but the cat is already out of the bag now that a hands-on video and tech specs of the Mi 10 series have appeared.

The details in this leak confirms a lot of the specs that were revealed previously. It's confirmed that both the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro will come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset, 12GB of RAM, and a 6.67-inch display. Considering that we've also seen a GeekBench score of the Mi 10 Pro with 8GB of RAM, it's likely that both devices will come with variants.

Apple iPhone 14 series to get the biggest selfie camera upgrade in history

Apple doesn't regularly provide hardware upgrades to the iPhones' front-facing cameras, as the brand emphasizes the rear camera upgrades instead. However, for the iPhone 14, we can expect the largest upgrade in the iPhone's history, as a new report claims.

Reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo states that the iPhone 14 will use a 48MP sensor for the primary camera. Furthermore, it will also support autofocus and come with an f/1.9 aperture. Using autofocus is said to lead to improvement of FaceTime/video calling and live streaming, while improved aperture will deliver a better shallow depth-of-field effect in portrait mode.

According to the analyst, the upcoming iPhones feature a VCM (voice coil motor) that allows autofocus on the front-facing cameras. It will have a 6P lens instead of the existing 5P as well to improve the photo quality. Kuo also knows about the manufacturers supplying the parts to the camera, with Sony providing the sensor, Genius and Largan making the lens, Alps and Luxshare for the VCM orders, plus LG Innotek and Cowell for the CCM.

Xiaomi Mi 10 stocks allegedly removed from stores to make way for Mi 11

The smartphone market is a fast-moving one, and that seems to be especially the case for China. Sources have claimed that Xiaomi may already be looking to launch the Mi 11 series, even though it hasn't even been a year since the Mi 10 was first launched.

According to Gizmochina (via ITHome), the official Xiaomi stores are no longer keeping stock of the Mi 10 series. It's said that this could be due to Xiaomi stopping production of additional units so that it can make way for the Mi 11 series. This suggests that the Mi 11 series could be arriving soon because if that wasn't the case, Xiaomi would need to keep enough Mi 10 series smartphones to last till the new models start selling.

Concept renders of the Mi 11 have begun to appear

Mind you, the source of the news is from China, so it might not affect sales in other countries like Malaysia yet. However, if the rumour is true then existing stocks of the Xiaomi Mi 10 series could be running low eventually. This kind of deliberate shortage is typically meant to get consumers to go for a newer model, which likely commands a higher profit margin.

Of course, this is highly speculative at the moment, so do take the news with a healthy grain of salt. With that said, would you be getting a Xiaomi Mi 10 while there's still stock, or is there a specific model you prefer to get? Do let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more updates like this.


Xiaomi Mi 10 with 5G passed SIRIM certification, coming to Malaysia real soon

In this short news, we have discovered that Xiaomi Malaysia will be bringing these devices into Malaysia sooner than expected. According to @KevinNgTK, the Mi 10 with 5G has already passed SIRIM certification just last Friday. In other words, it's coming real soon.

From the SIRIM certification, it doesn't really say much about the tech specs except that 5G connectivity support will definitely be available (3x 5G bands, in fact). Despite that, we cannot guarantee that we will get the same Mi 10 series models that were unveiled earlier in China last month, particularly the memory capacity area as that's one of the factors that tend to spike up the price. The Mi 10 series has up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB storage.

@LowyatNET @Soya_Cincau M2001J2G Mi 10 with 5G has passed SIRIM certification. Support 3x 5G bands ! pic.twitter.com/7vDdRSQ7NW

Other than that, we can safely assume that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset, 6.67-inch AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate, 4500mAh battery with 50W fast charging technology, 108MP camera and more will be on board. The starting price of the Mi 10 series 3999 Yuan, which roughly translates to around ~RM2372 from direct currency conversion.

The global launch is set on 27 March 2020 and it will be a live streaming event. Since the SIRIM certification has passed the Mi 10 series, we won't be surprised if Xiaomi Malaysia will announce the official price as well on the same day. Until then, stay tuned for more Xiaomi news at TechNave.com.


Xiaomi Mi 10 with SD 870 could be on the way after being spotted on 3C

Earlier, Qualcomm has unexpectedly announced the Snapdragon 870 5G chipset by bringing some minor upgrades over the Snapdragon 865+. After the announcement, a rumour has come claiming that the Redmi K40 will be one of the first to use the chipset. Now, another device is joining and it could be the Xiaomi Mi 10.

According to the source, the device with a model number M2102J2SC has passed 3C certification. Like the Redmi K40, it also comes with a 33W charger. It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time we hear about the rumour as it has been reported a while ago.

Although the Mi 10 is a dated device considering the Mi 11 is already on the market, it is still exciting to see it come with a new chipset that will provide a performance boost. The Mi 10 series currently have seven models including Xiaomi Mi 10, Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro 5G, Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra 5G, Xiaomi Mi 10T 5G, Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro 5G, Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite 5G, and Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G. Whew~ That is a lot!

Xiaomi Mi 10 with SD 870 to feature a better symmetrical dual speaker

Earlier, rumour has appeared claiming that the Xiaomi Mi 10 with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 870 will be launched soon as it was spotted on 3C. Now, a new leak has come suggesting that the upcoming Mi 10 device could also come with a better symmetrical dual speaker system.

According to reputable tipster Digital Chat Station, the new version of Xiaomi Mi 10 will feature a symmetrical dual speaker system that will sound better than earphones' dual speaker. The tipster also mentioned that this device is for Mi fans who are looking for external sound quality. Other than this, not much information has been revealed at the moment.

However, there is one thing confirmed which is the device will bring better performance compared to the previous Mi 10. The 7nm Snapdragon 870 chipset features Qualcomm's 5th gen Artificial Intelligence (AI) Engine and the Hexagon 698 Processor with Hexagon Tensor Accelerator. There's also the Kryo 585 CPU core which is improved to be able to clock up to 3.2GHz. Therefore, mobile gamers can look forward to this device as well.

Xiaomi Mi 10 with Snapdragon 865 due to be unveiled somewhere around Q1 2020

Recently, Xiaomi’s CEO and chairmen Lei Jun announced that the Xiaomi Mi 10 equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset is expected to be unveiled somewhere around Q1 2020. Other than the chipset, the device is also expected to come with up to 12GB of RAM, up to 512GB of RAM as well as 5G support.

Furthermore, previous leaks also stated that the aforementioned smartphone is expected to come with a 90Hz 6.5-inch display and quad-camera with up to a 108MP main. In terms of the battery, the Mi 10 might also come with a 4500mAh battery that supports 48W fast charging.

With all that said, do take every bit of information regarding the tech specs with a grain of salt due to the fact that Xiaomi has yet to provide an official statement about it. Not only that, but there is also no info about the Malaysia release date and local pricing of the device in question for now.

Xiaomi Mi 10S appears alongside Redmi K40 series on TENAA

Way back in March last year, sources claimed that Xiaomi would launch a Mi 10S in 2H 2020. There hasn't been much of it since then, which suggested that Xiaomi may have shelved the idea. However, the new Mi 10 model that appeared may just be the device in question.

According to Gizmochina, a new Xiaomi device with the model number M2012J2SC could be the Mi 10S. This device, along with the Redmi K40 (M2012K11AC) and Redmi K40 Pro (M2012K11C) has officially been certified by China's TENAA. In other words, all three devices are likely to be launched soon, probably after the Chinese New Year.

The device was also certified by China's 3C, has a 33W fast-charger

Unfortunately, the certification doesn't tell us much. We know is that it's a 5G phone that has a 6.67-inch display, a 4680mAh battery, and runs on Android 11. If you use the vanilla Xiaomi Mi 10 5G as a reference, you can see that this new device's display size and measurement (162.6 x 74.8 x 8.96 mm) are nearly identical. Besides that, it's rumoured that the phone will come with the Snapdragon 870 chipset.

In our opinion, this device could offer fantastic value-for-money, especially if you want a flagship-class that's affordable. However, that's just our current speculation. What do you think? Would you prefer this device over the newly launched Xiaomi Mi 11 series? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned to TechNave for more updates about it.


Xiaomi Mi 10S set to launch on 10 March 2021, will have Snapdragon 870 chipset

If there's a smartphone that has taken its time to launch, it would have to be the Xiaomi Mi 10S. First rumoured almost a whole year ago, sources suggested that the device would come in 2H 2020. Instead, the phone is only coming out later this week.

According to PlayfulDroid, the Xiaomi Mi 10S was spotted on e-commerce sites like JD.com. This suggests an imminent launch, which Xiaomi confirmed in a Weibo post earlier today. The phone was also found on TENAA a few weeks back, with a design that's slightly different from the regular Mi 10.

The launch date was officially confirmed

This isn't the first time we've heard about the Mi 10S too. Rumours of the variant have been popping up in recent weeks. It is expected to come with a Snapdragon 870 chipset, so it could be even more affordable than the Snapdragon 888-powered Mi 11 series. Besides that, it will allegedly have symmetrical dual speakers and 33W fast-charging.

Although it could be a cheaper model, we're not sure if it will launch globally yet. For now, we'll keep an eye out for more updates about it. Until then, stay tuned to TechNave for other news on the latest mobile devices.


Xiaomi Mi 10S will launch with 50W wired and 30W wireless fast charging!

A few days ago, we reported some of the tech specs leaks on the Xiaomi Mi 10S which is set to launch on 10 March 2021. As the launching gets closer, there are more leaks coming up this week. Today, Xiaomi has disclosed on its official WeChat page with more details on the Xiaomi Mi 10S’s charging powerhouse.

According to the posters from Xiaomi, there are three main highlights on the charging speeds, a 50W wired charging support, 30W wireless charging and 10W reverse charging support. While we do have the details on the charging speeds, the information of the battery capacity has yet to be revealed.

Three main charging speeds on Xiaomi Mi 10S

Aside from that, Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun also unveiled three main features of the phone earlier on and one of it will be the Snapdragon 870 chipset that we reported earlier. And next, the Xiaomi Mi 10S will be featuring the legendary Harman Kardon speakers which got an early DXOMark audio ranking. Lastly, it will be coming in with a 6.67-inch FHD+ 90Hz AMOLED display with 20MP selfie camera and a quad camera setup on the rear featuring a 108MP main camera, 13MP ultra wide angle camera and both 2MP macro and depth sensor.

Either way, there is no official confirmation on the tech specs and releasing dates yet, so do take this with a pinch of salt. Let us know what you think of the Xiaomi Mi 10S at our Facebook page and stay tuned for more tech news updates on TechNave.com.


Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro 5G review - Almost complete as a flagship device

Last year, Xiaomi launched the highly popular Mi 9T series that delivered plenty of features and top-tier specs. This year, Xiaomi has followed up with the new Mi 10T series, which has two models - the Mi 10T 5G and Mi 10T Pro 5G.

In this article, we will be sharing our experience of using Xiaomi's latest flagship device, which we've been playing around with for a few weeks. So without further ado, read on below for our review of the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro.

One of the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro 5G's standout features would be the back of the phone, where you will find the rectangle camera module featuring a giant camera. This is the main camera, which packs a 108MP lens that looks like one from a professional camera. Below that, there are four more lenses arranged symmetrically. In our opinion, this is one of the more refreshing designs for 2020.

On top of that, the phone comes with a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 glass back panel that glows when light shines on it. The camera module is also covered by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. However, the glass surface does make fingerprint smudges look more apparent. So, we recommend using the free silicone case provided in the box. As for the phone's body, the frame is made out of aluminium, giving it a solid and premium feel when held.

On the front, you'll find the 6.67 FHD+ LCD screen with a 20:9 screen ratio. That's right, the phone uses an LCD panel, which isn't as good as AMOLED or Super AMOLED. But it's still enough to show a lot of details and has decent colour accuracy.

Another good point of the Mi 10T Pro's LCD panel is that it has a refresh rate of up to 144Hz. The visuals look really smooth on this phone, something you will notice when scrolling on social media. It also supports the 'AdaptiveSync' display feature, which will automatically change the refresh rate depending on your battery level.

The display can look a bit yellowish when you're using automatic colour mode. But that's not a big problem since you can change the colour mode in the settings. Another thing to note is that the display, like the back panel, is also protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

The volume rocker and power button (integrated fingerprint sensor)

At 218g, the Mi 10T Pro 5G is heavier than most flagship phones. It's also one of the thicker phones we've reviewed so far at 9.3mm. In terms of colours, it's available in Cosmic Black, Lunar Silver, and Aurora Blue.

Other things worth noting is the side-mounted fingerprint scanner, which is integrated into the power button. There's also no 3.5mm audio jack or microSD support for this phone, which is honestly quite disappointing.

The Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro 5G has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, with a retail price of RM1999. It's a relatively affordable price for the specs and features it offers. Let's dive into the details about that.

The MI 10T Pro's UI is neat and user-friendly, with an app drawer that makes it easy for you to track and organise your apps. You can also directly access Google Discover by swiping left from the main screen. However, do bear in mind that there are ads and bloatware that come with the UI. Fortunately, you can remove the ads in just a few steps if you dislike them. You're stuck with the bloatware though.

Moving on to performance, the Mi 10T Pro features the powerhouse chipset for 2020 - the 5G-enabled Snapdragon 865. As you know, this chipset delivers top-notch performance. Using apps and navigating the phone always felt smooth, and you can multitask on it without getting any lag.

The model in Malaysia comes in one configuration only, which is 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. You can refer to our benchmarks below for some details.

While not on par with the more powerful Snapdragon 865+ chipset, you can see that it performs as well as many other flagship devices. You definitely won't have to worry about this phone's performance, especially if when it comes to your day to day tasks and apps.

And if you're looking to play some mobile games, this phone would be an excellent choice. It performs well in most games, even if you set the graphics quality to High and maintain a high refresh rate for games like PUBG Mobile and COD: Mobile. One obvious advantage that this phone has in gaming is that you can set the in-game frame rates to 90Hz or more, thanks to the 144Hz display.

The Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro is equipped with a 5000mAh capacity battery that can last more than one day (depending on your usage). Additionally, it has a 33W fast-charger that can charge the phone from 0% to 100% in about 58 minutes. This fast charger is provided, so you don't have to buy it separately.

As for the camera, this Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro 5G comes with three cameras on the back with a light sensor for automatic screen brightness control. The main camera is 108MP, which is a large sensor that can deliver pictures with a lot of detail. It also comes with a 13MP ultra-wide camera and a 5MP macro lens. This phone does not come with a telephoto camera like the previous Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro. On the front, you will find a 20MP selfie camera.

Pictures of coffee machines in the store

Pictures taken by this phone tend to have slightly vibrant colours and are sharp with plenty of detail. In particular, the pictures taken with the 108MP camera have more detail and look a little brighter than those captured in normal mode. Then there's the ultra-wide camera, which produces photos with excellent light control and good colour tone. However, the image quality doesn't match up to the 108MP sensor.

As for the macro camera, it can produce good close-up images, but the image quality is the lowest of the three. Besides that, the camera app also has a night mode, which makes photos look better at night. With that said, photos can still look good at night even if night mode isn't used.

Of course, the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro is also capable of recording video up to 8K 30fps quality, as well as slo-mo 1080P 120fps video. 8K videos produced by this camera has beautiful details and colours but doesn't do too well if there's too much movement.

It does have an image stabilisation that helps make videos more stable. However, this doesn't work for the 8K mode. If you enable image stabilisation, the video quality will change to 1080P 30fps. Overall, we are satisfied with the image quality for both photos and videos.

Video from Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro with 'Steady Video' feature

This Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro 5G is an attractive flagship device with top specs and some cool features. Overall, it's suitable for a wide range of users. However, it still comes with some shortcomings that prevent some of you from choosing it. This is because its display is an LCD panel, which has the worst viewing angles, contrast, and colour accuracy compared to other phone displays. It also doesn't have a 3.5mm audio jack and is a rather heavy phone.

Priced at RM1999, the Mi 10T Pro is a worthwhile flagship phone. Its prowess is most evident on the 144Hz refresh rate display, 108MP camera, and ability to record videos in 8K. If you are a gamer, you will also be more than satisfied with its overall performance.

For other options, you could opt for the vivo V20 Pro, OnePlus Nord, POCO F2 Pro, iPhone SE 2020, or Samsung Galaxy A71 instead. In case you didn't know, these are all within the RM2000 price range.
