The name of the game with smartphones is to ramp up their features while looking stylish at the same time. When it comes to this feat, the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro knows how to pull up the cards and win you over.

Getting our hands on the new flagship device, we experienced and discovered why the Mi 10 Pro is arguably this year’s revelation as the year’s most stylish smartphone.

We know Xiaomi for many things especially when it comes to turning our homes into smart houses. However, when it comes to smartphones, Xiaomi also knows how to turn it up a notch. It’s really letting the world know that they can compete with the other brand names out there.

The Mi 10T Pro’s design comes with two slabs of curved Gorilla Glass 5 panels. It’s smooth and flawless creating a seamless feel from glass to aluminum. While it may look like the same as other flagship brands released this year, there are design aspects of the brand’s latest flagship device that sets it apart from these models.

With its 6.67-inch OLED panel display and 2340×1080 resolution, the screen shows a 90hZ fast refresh rate with such smoothness. Its full HD AMOLED panel reveals a more realistic and vibrant color that can ensure your experiencing gaming, photography or Netflix binge-watching experience to new heights. With more pixels on your screen, the Mi 10T Pro is more responsive than ever. Also, to allow a more immersive experience with your screen time, it has a small punch hole in the top-left corner of its screen.

But, as what the brand chose to highlight in its release, the kicker for this phone is its camera functions and features, something that Millennials and even Gen-Zers will love. The Mi 10T Pro has a three-rear camera with 108MP wide (f/1.7), 20MP ultrawide (f/2.2), 12MP “portrait” 2X telephoto (f/2.0) and 8MP 10x lossless telephoto (f/2.0). Its front camera can capture selfies at 20MP (f/2.0).

If you’re looking for the ultimate camera found in a smartphone, the Mi 10T Pro has it. The smartphone’s camera system is a sight to behold. The photos on the main lens, while it was pegged at 108MP, come out with a 25MP output resolution. The colors come out generally accurate with a sharp focus thanks to the smartphone’s autofocus system. In terms of shooting at night, it has a better dynamic range and detail. What’s more, it’s great with low light situations, too!

As a flagship phone, the Mi 10T Pro also boasts its functionality through its performance and, of course, battery life. It has a combination of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 system-on-chip and 8GB of fast LPDDR5 RAM to ensure that you’re getting a fast and smooth experience whenever you use your smartphone. And if you’re big on phone usage, no need to worry about losing juice. The Mi 10T Pro has a 5000-mAh battery with about 13 hours of usage time. It lasts longer than most phones out in the market today. Also, think being able to charge from 0% to 40% in just 15 minutes. This phone is pretty fast.

The Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro, though on the costly but still accessible price point, serving as the brand’s newest flagship device, is definitely a smartphone that you shouldn’t sleep on! No small thanks to its fast refresh rate, long battery life and CPU, you’ll enjoy using it with such ease. Not only that, its camera system is perfect for unleashing your creativity and capturing every important moment in your life.
