Mi 10i vs Realme X7

After the launch of Mi 10i, it revived the 25k price segment. Then, Realme saw an opportunity and launched their new phone in the 'X' series that is the X7.

Today we'll compare both of these phones and see which one is the better pick.

DESIGN & BUILT

The Mi 10i comes with a glossy Glass back with textured finish  whereas the Realme X7 comes with a glossy finished polycarbonate back. For safety, Mi 10i comes with Gorilla Glass 5 and the X7 comes with Gorilla Glass 3. In thickness and weight Mi 10i feels heavy as well as bulky as it weighs 219g at 9mm of thickness whereas the X7 is better in in-hand feels as it is quite lighter and doesn’t feel bulky at all. The X7 weighs 183g at 8.3mm of thickness. One advantage that the Mi 10i has over the X7 is that, the Mi 10i is IP-53 rated i.e. it can handle splashes of water easily.

One advantage that the Mi 10i has is the 120hz refresh rate which makes the phone buttery smooth. And one advantage X7 has is the sAMOLED display which is ahead of this IPS display used in the Mi 10i.

SOFTWARE

Both these phones have their own custom UI i.e. Mi 10i has MIUI 12 and Realme X7 has Realme UI 1.0 . Both are decent enough, but in my opinion Realme UI is a better choice as it has better RAM management and the UI is kind of better than MIUI as it has less Ads and bloatware.


PORTS & AUDIO

Both phone has all the same ports except the 3.5mm headphone jack which is not found in Realme X7. One advantage that Mi 10i has is the hybrid Sim slot. You might be wondering why is it an advantage? because the X7 only has a dual Sim slot. You can't put any SD card in it and that too in this price range. For the audio, as the Mi 10i supports dual stereo speakers it is simply ahead of the Realme X7.


SECURITY & BIOMETRICS

Both the smartphones support Face Unlock, and both work equally well. The difference here is for the fingerprint sensor. Mi 10i has a side mounted fingerprint sensor whereas the Realme X7 has in-display fingerprint scanner. Mi 10i simply wins as, it has a side mounted fingerprint scanner. But Realme X7's in-display fingerprint scanner looks really cool.

+ Points for Mi 10i

  • Good Camera
  • Strong built
  • Smooth experience
+ Points for Realme X7

  • Fast charging
  • Attractive design
  • Better display
  • Also you can save Rs 2,000 
In my opinion if you don't have any budget issue simply go with the Mi 10i as it is a better package overall. I am not saying Realme X7 is a bad phone or it lack features. It has almost everything Mi 10i has, but in Mi 10i those features are a bit better overall.

Tech knowledge #5

                         Why Apple is so expensive??? Apple products have never been cheap. And the cost of some of its products has increased dramatically over time. Just look at how the price of the iPhone has increased over the years. What started at $499 in 2007, now starts at $999. So what makes these products so pricey? Well, some say, it boils down to no other reason than the fact that Apple can convince us to pay the hefty price. There’s even an unofficial term for this phenomenon. It’s called The Apple Tax which describes the extra money customers are willing to pay for an Apple product over a competitor product with similar features. And, often it’s attributed to the so-called “cool factor” associated with Apple. It’s those premium prices that helped catapult Apple into becoming one of the world’s most valuable companies. And at the start of 2019, it announced it was holding a whopping $245 billion in c...

Jeep Compass 2021!!!!

FCA debuted the Jeep brand in India with its Wrangler and Grand Cherokee premium SUVs in 2016 but the real breakthrough came when made-in-India Compass was launched in July 2017. The Compass really set the tone in the premium SUV segment but its popularity faded away in recent times. With it being the sole volume seller for the brand, a mid-life update has been introduced in India. The 2021 Jeep Compass is priced between Rs. 16.99 lakh and Rs. 24.49 lakh (ex-showroom) (around Rs. 50,000 price increase across variants) and it features a host of changes inside and out in response to the growing competition. On the inside, the facelift has been given a thorough revision with redesigned headlamps having integrated LED Daytime Running Lights, revised front grille with seven vertical slats and honeycomb inserts. It also gets a brand new bumper section with wider air inlet and restyled fog lamp housing enhancing the sporty vibe of the new model. While the overall sturdy pillars and roofline r...
