Mi 10T Pro and Mi 10T: Delivering creativity and excellence
Camera
The Mi 10T line builds upon the features of the Mi 10 that were most loved, bringing forward the specs that Mi fans have raved about, and streamlining the device to keep prices affordable.
Like the Mi 10, Xiaomi has maintained its category-defining ultra-high resolution legacy with its 108MP camera that can be found on the Mi 10T Pro. Meanwhile, the Mi 10T features an impressive 64MP main camera. Both phones have a triple camera setup with a 13MP ultra wide-angle camera, 5MP macro camera, and a 20MP front camera on top of the main lens.
On top of their top-of-the-line lenses, Xiaomi has also leveraged Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to bring your mobile photography skills to the next level. The new Mi 10T Pro and Mi 10T phones come with six long exposure modes for the everyday photographer to capture stunning shots of moving water, light painting, and even star trails. Better yet, novel features like Photo clones and Timed Burst allow for endless fun as users get to experiment with new and innovative ways to up their social media game.
