Xiaomi has been known to offer reasonable phones with more than decent specs. Of the features, it brings, most will agree that they are high-end ones and something that would normally jack up the selling price of any handset. But as far as the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite Zoom Edition, the periscope-styled zoom camera will surely garner its share of attention.

Designed for the young and energetic consumers, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite Zoom Edition can be a decent phone to consider for the mature individuals too. That is if they do not mind the colors and the unique designs it comes with. It could be an ideal secondary phone or something used plainly on capturing photos or videos. But if one looks deeply into the specs, this is one device that comes with a decent array of power inside.

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite Zoom Edition totes a 6.57-inch AMOLED display (2400x1080) with a waterdrop notch. It comes powered by a Snapdragon 765 5G SoC backed by at least 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Keeping the device up and running is a 4,160mAh battery that could be ideal for use in a day, per the company's official blog. Regardless, the phone also boasts of a 20w fast-charging capability. For biometric security, the phone comes with an in-screen fingerprint sensor.

As far as the cameras it has to offer, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite Zoom Edition offers an impressive lot. Upfront is a 16 MP main shooter, ideal for the selfie-taking loving folks. At the back is the real story, a quartet of cameras out to wet the appetite of camera-savvy individuals who now use their phones to take quality photos and videos. There is a 48MP main lens, an 8MP ultra-wide angles lens, the ballyhooed 8 MP telephoto camera, and a 2MP macro camera.

Of the mentioned rear built-in cameras, it is the 8MP telephoto camera that deserves looking into. This is allegedly capable of reaching up to 5X optical zoom, a notch higher when compared to other phones which can only go as far as 2X to 3X zoom. That makes it among the highest-performing periscope lenses currently available, Slash Gear reported.

Pricing for the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite Zoom Edition starts at around $299. This is for the base model that comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of ROM. Also, this phone will only be limited for China, meaning it is unlikely to reach U.S. shores.
