While everyone is looking at the Mi 11, Xiaomi is still promoting 2020’s Mi 10 series.

The company just launched the Xiaomi Mi 10S, a phone with a much bigger focus on audio.

The Mi 10S features a dual speaker setup tuned by Harman Kardon and, according to DXOMark, it’s the best one tested so far!

As for the other specs, the Mi 10S offers plenty to the mid-range budget shopper.

It has a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution, 90Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ certification. It also has an under-display fingerprint sensor.

The punch-hole cutout houses a 20 MP selfie camera. On the back, the phone uses a quad setup made of the Samsung 108MP sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide sensor, a 2MP macro sensor and a 2MP depth sensor.

Under the hood, the Mi 10S uses the Snapdragon 870 chipset, which makes sense, since it’s not a top-of-the-line device, paired with 8 or 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128 or 256 GB of UFS 3.0 storage.

All of this is powered by a decently sized 4,780 mAh battery with 33W fast charging, 30W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging.

The Xiaomi Mi 10S will be available in China starting on March 12 and will go for around $500 for the 8GB RAM / 128GB storage model and $580 for the 12GB RAM / 128GB storage model.

Even better, early buyers will get a 30W wireless charger for free, an offer we hope Xiaomi will also have for the worldwide release (not yet announced).
