Rumors about Xiaomi’s Mi 10 Ultra have been swirling this week, and the company has now formally announced the product. Xiaomi revealed key features of its expected handset in a press release and a series of tweets. “Whatever you imagine, # Mi10Ultra has it,” the company said.
The highlight is that the Ultra supports fast charging with 120 Watts. It has a 4500mAh battery (same size as that of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus); Xiaomi claims that it will fully soak in 23 minutes and will reach 41 percent after five minutes. The Ultra also supports 50W wireless fast charging. Xiaomi claims that you can get a full charge for this route in 40 minutes.
The Ultra also features an impressive camera array, including a 48-megapixel primary shooter with a 1 / 1.32-inch sensor, a 120x hybrid zoom camera, and 8K video recording capabilities. There’s also a 20-megapixel ultra-wide camera with a 128-degree field of view and a 12-megapixel portrait camera.
The 6.67-inch OLED display also seems to be topnotch, with a refresh rate of 120Hz. This can lead to smoother animations and scrolling than you get with a traditional 60Hz display, but it can also suck a battery on some phones. And it’s all powered by a Snapdragon 865, the same chipset found in many of the fastest Android phones on the market (including the Galaxy S20 and S20 Ultra).
The Mi 10 Ultra will be available in mainland China on August 16, and it will start at 5,299 Yuan (about $ 760).
Xiaomi also introduced a number of other products, including a 20W wireless charging pad, a 55W wireless charging stand, a Redmi K30 Ultra phone with 33W fast charging and a 120Hz OLED display, an ultra-thin OLED TV called Mi TV Lux, and a GoKart called the Ninebot GoKart Pro Lamborghini Edition.
