The Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite is the most affordable model in the T-series, yet maintains some of the best features. This includes the 6.67-inch LCD with adaptive refresh rate – it goes up to 120Hz (the other two do 144Hz, but it’s not a huge difference) and has multiple intermediate steps down to 30Hz.
The phone has HDR10-certified display with 1080p+ resolution (20:9) that promises 84% NTSC color coverage and 450 nits of brightness. It also come with dual speakers and a Hi-Res Audio certification.
Like the vanilla version, the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite has a 64MP main camera on the back, based on a 1/1.7†sensor (1.6µm pixels after 4-in-1 binning). The ultrawide camera (120°) gets an 8MP sensor, then there are the 2MP macro cam and 2MP depth sensor.
The 16MP selfie camera is inside a punch hole in the Gorilla Glass 5-protected display. There’s GG5 on the back too as well as a fingerprint reader on the side, but unlike its T-series friends there’s no mention of an aluminum alloy frame.
The Mi 10T Lite is the first phone to be powered by the new Snapdragon 750G chipset. It offers sub-6 connectivity along with a slight performance boost over the S730G (+20% CPU performance, +10% GPU).
The Lite model gets the same 33W fast charger as the two more premium 10T models and nearly the same battery capacity, 4,820 mAh. This one even outdoes the more premium siblings by having a 3.5mm headphone jack.
