The Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro 5G is the latest 5G smartphone from the Chinese manufacturer and is the flagship device for the company seeking to compete against the likes of LG, Samsung and others in the market.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has slowed the network deployment of 5G and the number of smartphones that were expected to come out this year supporting 5G has also declined. Many were expecting numerous phones to be introduced at this year’s Mobile World Congress, but when it was cancelled the plans changed and new smartphones have only slowly emerged.

Despite most smartphone shops remaining closed due to the coronavirus, smartphone suppliers are starting to roll out phones to continue the proliferation of the technology in the market.

Xiaomi’s Mi 10 Pro 5G features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 mobile processor and the Snapdragon X55 baseband processor, a primary camera with a 108 MP resolution and a secondary camera that is 20 MP.
