However, what truly makes this smartphone stand out is the “The Transparent Edition” which shows the internals of the device through the back panel.

Performance

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra is an absolute beast when it comes to specifications and offers some really impressive benchmarks which is not that surprising since the device is equipped with some flagship components.

The smartphone offers the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 paired with several options of LPDDR5 memory and UFS 3.1 storage breaking another AnTuTu record, reaching a score of 660,000 points according to the company’s blog post.

However, hard to come across users actually reaching that score since the maximum score we were able to find for the device was a little over 643,000 which is significantly lower than what the company claims but still not bad in anyway.

The display offers a resolution of 2,340 x 1,080 with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio which lags behind the competition considering others offering higher resolution screens. However, it is important to remember that the rest of the tech packed into the device definitely makes up for it especially the charging.

Battery & Charging

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra is equipped with a 4,500mAh which is pretty average considering the internals such as the power hungry chipset, large display refreshing at 120Hz and the five cameras which we will discuss in a moment.

However, the battery isn’t what makes the smartphone stand out and its rather the charging speeds its capable of with the included power adapter delivering an impressive 120W.

According to Xiaomi, the Mi 10 Ultra takes 23 minutes for a full charge while reaching the 41 percent mark takes a mere five minutes. However, this is only achievable with the provided 120W power brick.

The smartphone also supports up to 50W wireless charging capable of filling the 4,500mAh battery in under 40 minutes. The device additionally supports 10W wireless charging.

Although, it should be mentioned here that based on several reviews of the smartphone, it tends to heat up a lot while making use of the 120W fast charging which also raises concerns for the longevity of the battery.
