Our Take
All the three newly launched phones come with quad-camera set up with 108-megapixel Samsung’s ISOCELL Bright HMX sensor. But The Pro variant of the Xiaomi Mi 10 comes with a better camera set up as compared to both the other two smartphones which are its biggest USP. But in the front camera department, Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra takes on both Xiaomi’s phones as it comes equipped with a 40-megapixel front camera whereas the Mi 10 phones have a 20-megapixel selfie camera. Samsung phones offer a longer battery life as it comes with a 5000mAh battery that is supported by a 45W fast charging. In the hardware department, all three devices are powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC which is till date the latest processor. It is very hard to decide which amongst the three mobile phones is the best. But if you are on a tight budget then you need to wait for a few more weeks until Xiaomi launched Mi 10 Pro because it might cost you half the price of what you have to pay for Galaxy S20 Ultra.
