Xiaomi's flagship phones have been following the same pattern for years: Low price, top specs, few compromises, and at least one feature that's either a world first or at least very rarely found on top competing smartphones.
The Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro, a new flagship released alongside the slightly less powerful Xiaomi Mi 10T and the entry-level Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite, follows this formula to a T.

It's a DotDisplay LCD, not an OLED — there's your compromise — but it should be pretty good, with an advertised 500 nits of brightness, 1,500:1 color contrast ratio, and HDR10 support. It's also interrupted only by a punch-hole, 20-megapixel selfie camera, and a narrow chin on the bottom.
Inside, there's a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, 8GB of RAM, 128/256GB of storage, and a massive 5,000mAh battery with 33W wired fast charging.

The camera comes with a bunch of new software features such as long exposure modes and timed burst mode. It can also record 8K video at 30 frames per second, and has a few unusual features such as Dual Video, which can record video from the rear and selfie cameras simultaneously.
Other features of note include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 5G, dual speakers, and an IR blaster. There's no word about wireless charging and waterproofing, though.
SEE ALSO: Xiaomi designed a see-through OLED TV — Future BlinkXiaomi's Mi 10T is fairly similar to its big brother, with the exact same display, aluminum frame, processor, battery, and selfie camera. The biggest differences are the 64-megapixel main rear camera, and the starting 6GB of RAM (it's also available with 8GB).
