GPU Performance
GPU performance of the Mi 10 Pro is something we’ve alluded to in recent few reviews we’ve published (OnePlus 8 & LG V60), as we’ve had a group of Snapdragon 865 devices which all seemingly performed near identical in terms of their peak and sustained performance numbers:
Indeed, you’d have a hard time distinguishing the Mi 10 Pro from the performance of the OnePlus phones or the V60 as seemingly all four phones exhibit the same benchmark results. Thermal throttling essentially doesn’t exist on these devices as the thermal dissipation systems are more than up to par to be able to keep temperatures of the SoC and the Adreno 650 GPU in check, with the Mi 10 Pro barely hitting 40°C under prolonged load tests.
Overall, thanks to the higher refresh screen, big battery and excellent performance of the chipset, the Mi 10 Pro should be an excellent gaming device which offers a great gaming experience.

Nothing solid about a phone with a bunch of dead pixels and headphone jack.PeterCollier - Thursday, July 23, 2020 - link
Now I'm curious, do phones generally come with a no dead pixel guarantee? I know some high end monitors do. And the low end ones, the manufacturer might say that a few dead pixels are fine.Samus - Thursday, July 23, 2020 - link
I’ve setup thousands of iPhones over the last decade and never seen a dead pixel in an original or OEM replacement screen. That’s part of the Apple tax though, and where form over function might actually make sense in this particular case.Arsenica - Thursday, July 23, 2020 - link
I think you mean a phone with no headphone jack.But at this price point and feature set I would rather buy a Galaxy S20+ and not worry about Chinese spyware (Korean spyware is way cooler).

Let say you said something you shouldn’t have on a phone, would you rather have that record be kept on a Chinese server or on a US server?I’m sure that since you used a device that have a microphone or a webcam, you have made stupid mistakes at least once or twice. But luckily for you, you’re a nobody. Your government wouldn’t waste money and human resources to come after a brainwashed nobody such as you. However, that doesn’t mean you’re off the hook. You know damn well everything you do on or around a smart device is being recorded and kept forever. But here you are, spreading the BS and hate on the Chinese. Didn’t you know that your government spy on you much more than the Chinese ever can?

or just unlock the bootloader and install open-source custom rom so it'll be free of spyware. if shit happens at least Xiaomi still honor your warranty even if you tampered the software.1_rick - Thursday, July 23, 2020 - link
What dead pixels? Or are you talking about the hole-punch selfie cam?iphonebestgamephone - Friday, July 24, 2020 - link
So the phones with thicker bezels had much larger areas of dead pixels or what?nagi603 - Thursday, July 23, 2020 - link
Real shame how the price has skyrocketed between generations... I got a Mi 9 (128) for €400 w/ tax about a year ago. Of course they stopped producing it and you can't get it any longer.ads295 - Thursday, July 23, 2020 - link
A flagship is one of the few avenues they have to make money. Xiaomi has openly admitted that they have a policy to make not more than 5% margin on their devices.
