Xiaomi is celebrating 10 years with an Ultra phone.
(Pocket-lint) – To celebrate its tenth birthday, Xiaomi has dropped a new addition to the Mi 10 family – and it’s an ultra phone looking to throw shade on all other manufacturers’ recent attempts. Most recent launches have pushed the specs really hard, whipping fans into a frenzy and there’s no shortage of numbers appended to the Mi 10 Ultra – 120W charging,120Hz refresh rate,120x zoom,5G,16GB RAM… the list goes on and on, making it very clear that Xiaomi wants this to be seen as the best phone on the market. While the overall look of the phone is similar to the other Mi 10 devices we’ve seen this year, the size of the camera array on the rear is almost laughable – there’s no way you’re going to miss the brutality of the camera offering. Like Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Ultra, Xiaomi is pushing the telephoto hard, claiming a 120x magnification from its periscope lens. Like Samsung, once you get over 15x zoom you’ll get a preview window so you can see what you’re actually zooming in on. We suspect that this numbers play will end up the same way that Samsung’s did – with a zoom so extreme it’s hard to use – but we’ll be happy to be proved wrong.
