It has just come out, but we are sure it will be talked about a lot. We refer to the new variant of the series Wed 10 launched by Xiaomi in these hours. The new Mi 10 Ultra has emerged a little by surprise a few days ago – curious case given that the other models of the family were launched at the beginning of the year – and it hasn’t officially shown up yet (although it should be a matter of hours by now).
The smartphone intended for celebrate the first 10 years of business di Xiaomi it couldn’t be less than memorable – it is no coincidence that the name initially circulated was Mi 10 Extreme Commemorative Edition – but frankly it was hard to predict what it would be jumped straight to the top of the ranking on photographic quality compiled by DxOMark.
Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra recorded a overall score of 130 points, to be exact 106 for videos and 142 (a record value) for the photos. Similar in the photographic sector to the younger brother Mi 10 Pro, the device is always equipped with four sensors, me the differences in hardware are there and are felt. Mi 10 Ultra has a 48MP Quad-Bayer main sensor, two stabilized telephoto lenses equivalent to a 50mm and a 120mm and a 12mm focal length wide-angle lens that offers the widest field ever seen on smartphones.
Before continuing we want to report some technical specifications in detail, since the phone has not yet been presented.
All this leads straight to performance judged to be excellent in all areas tested by DxOMark specialists. In their opinion Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra is the ideal phone not only under normal day or night conditions, but even in challenging high contrast contexts. Exposure, color fidelity, white balance, level of detail and dynamic range make it “The perfect choice for photographers looking for great flexibility in terms of focal lengths”.
Speaking of video capture then don’t be fooled by the lower score: 106 points are still enough to make it the best smartphone to record videos around and the first that achieves excellent results in both 4K and 60fps.

Almost four months later, the types of DxOMark have returned to review Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra, turning it around though on the other side. Let’s say immediately that the result of the selfie camera, even if more than good, it is not up to par with the main compartment. The site gave it a score of 88 (86 for photos, 94 for videos), putting it in the top 20, nothing that can worry Huawei P40 Pro, the king of the rankings.
Compared to Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, however, the improvements are there, even if the differences emerge especially in the videos thanks to the optical stabilization. As for photos, the main weak point is the dynamic range: photos in optimal lighting conditions are detailed and well exposed, but in more critical situations there is an excessive brightness.
