I was impressed when I got my Xiaomi Mi Note 10 lite; the excitement from un-boxing the Mi Note 10 lite, to an extent, made up for the loss of my Mi Note 10. However, when I decided to give the Mi Note 10 lite a try, I wasn’t sure it would be a great idea because I was attached to Mi Note 10. But I also didn’t have extra cash to get the Mi Note 10, above my budget. So, I decided to buy a mid-range version: the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 lite.

XIAOMI MI Note 10 lite a Midrange phone
Mid-range phones are alternatives to flagship-level phones that aim to achieve the same quality for low-budget individuals. Xiaomi aimed to achieve the same quality as the Mi Note 10 and the Mi Note 10 lite, although Xiaomi made some minor cuts from the specifications to make it more affordable. Notwithstanding, Xiaomi Mi Note 10 lite was the best alternative for a flagship phone my budget of $450 can afford.
I got my Xiaomi Mi note-10 lite from Aliexpress, where I got the best deal for my budget Midrange phone. However, I must say that though Xiaomi built the Mi Note- lite to be a mid-range phone, it has attractive specs peculiar to flagship phones, and that was what caught my interest about Mi Note 10 lite.
Xiaomi built mi Note 10 lite to be a durable device compared to other phones within its range and class.
Mi Note 10 colours

Conclusive verdict on the performance of XIAOMI MI Note 10 lite
My verdict on the XIAOMI MI Note 10 lite
WHEN a smartphone name contains ”lite”, it usually indicates variations and cuts in the ”non-lite” version. Still, with the Xiaomi Mi Note10 and its counterpart, the MI Note10 lite, just like I highlighted, I noticed a slight variation in the physical appearance, mainly the cut in the number of rear cameras on both phones.
However, the other differences between the Xiaomi Note 10 and Note 10 lite are; The weight, cameras, processor, and consequently, the speed at which they both respond differs slightly. So, depending on your need for a smartphone, high-quality camera, picture quality, good processor speed while playing games, and your budget is what you will want to consider while comparing Mi Note 10 and Mi Note 10 lite.
