Highest configuration in a smartphone

The first reason for buying the Xiaomi Mi 10 is, it comes in the highest configuration you can find for a smartphone. Back in December 2019, Qualcomm has announced its latest processor which is the Snapdragon 865 5G processor. During the Qualcomm Tech Summit, Qualcomm confirms that Xiaomi Mi 10 will be featuring the latest Snapdragon 865 processor. This confirms under the hood, the Xiaomi Mi 10 runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor. Imagine having the most powerful processor in a smartphone you can literally do everything on the Xiaomi Mi 10.

This brings us to the second reason which is the Xiaomi Mi 10 features the state-of-the-art memory. It comes with the latest LPDDR5 memory which allows you to start any app in the Xiaomi Mi 10 instantly. With the highest configuration, Xiaomi allows you to upgrade the memory up to 12GB. A normal smartphone with 8GB of RAM has outstanding performance. With the 12GB LDDR5 RAM you can expect your phone to load super fast.

108MP main camera + 8K video recording

Besides that, from the image above you might already know that the Xiaomi Mi 10 has the quad-camera system. But, did you know that the Xiaomi Mi 10 features the 108MP image sensor?

The Mi 10 also has AI voice to subtitle where when you record an 8K video, the voice from the video will be automatically displayed as a subtitle. Besides this feature, there are many other features also in the Xiaomi Mi 10 to take your filming skills to the next level.

The fourth reason to buy the Xiaomi Mi 10 is it comes with the support of 5G connectivity. Countries such as Malaysia still might not have 5G connectivity, however, if you buy a 5G support phone now, in the future you can make use of the 5G network speed in Gigabits. Xiaomi Mi 10 is one of the first smartphones to support dual-mode 5G connectivity. The Mi 10 supports both the SA and NSA mode. It is also one of the first smartphones to support WiFi 6 technology. With the WiFi 6 technology, you can transfer files at a lightning speed.

The final reason we would strongly recommend you to buy the Xiaomi Mi 10 is it has a 30W fast wireless charging feature. The Xiaomi Mi 10 features a large 4,780mAh battery capacity which copes with the 30W fast charging adapter with USB-C cable. The best part of the Mi 10 is it even has a 10W wireless reverse charging. This means if any of your friend’s phone battery drains you can immediately offer your smartphone as the power bank for your friend’s smartphone.

Reading Time: 2 minutes read

In light of the movement control order by the Malaysian government to curb the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the country, HUAWEI has taken measures to ensure that no one has to miss out on enjoying its latest flagship foldable device – the HUAWEI Mate Xs. The sales launch of HUAWEI Mate Xs will proceed as usual on 20 March with HUAWEI debuting their VIP home delivery service.

With its customers’ health and safety as a top priority, HUAWEI is rolling out for the first time, a delivery service which will send every purchase of the HUAWEI Mate Xs from its e-commerce store, right to its customers’ doorstep – to ensure that they are able to fully enjoy this flagship foldable smartphone. 

To meet heightened demand for the HUAWEI Mate Xs, HUAWEI has ramped up its e-commerce capabilities and is now able to deliver more efficiently. Customers can choose either to have their new HUAWEI Mate Xs delivered right to their doorstep, or they can order it online and then collect it at the HUAWEI store nearest to them or at their preferred HUAWEI store. 

Dispatchers will have masks on at all times during delivery to ensure the safety and health of the customers. They will also call the customer ahead of arriving at the delivery location and will sanitise the parcel in front of the customer before handing it over.

Three Months Warranty on Screen Replacement 

Committed to looking after its customers’ peace of mind during this period of movement controls, HUAWEI is providing a one-time screen replacement within three months from the date of purchase of a new HUAWEI Mate Xs. This covers accidental damage caused by drop, fall and other collisions. 

It does not, however, cover damage resulting from unauthorised disassembly or repair, misuse and abuse of the device, improper installation or modification of the device, or damage caused by spillage of food or liquid, corrosion, rust or the use of wrong voltage. 

The three months warranty comes on top of a variety of other perks HUAWEI is offering with the purchase of the HUAWEI Mate Xs — including a pair of HUAWEI’s Freebuds 3 worth RM679 and an Envelope Leather Case for HUAWEI Mate Xs worth RM299.
