Ten years ago, Xiaomi was born to smartphones world. Since then, it has come from humble beginnings not known to many to where it is today inspired by Apple. The brand has diversified more powerfully and has succeeded in building a multibillion empire for itself.
Today Xiaomi fans can now find Xiaomi products everywhere they are. The brand has several dedicated stores in Kenya, thus saving you the hustle of going through the import box. Despite the wide variety of products that the manufacturing company offers. The brand’s DNA is still intact, and in fact, a smartphone from the company in discussion pays special attention to software and, above all, a search for good value for your money.

Sometimes it can be challenging navigating through these products. If you want the best Xiaomi smartphones,we have done the right selection for you.Read along to be inspired.
XIAOMI’S TOP SMARTPHONE
1. XIAOMI MI 11
- The very successful design
- Spectacular display
- The powerful Snapdragon 888
2021 is a successful year for Xiaomi. The Mi 11 is designed carefully with a mat glass that is pleasant to touch. The ergonomics are successful, even if with its 6.81-inch screen, it would be better to use both and more excellent safety. The panel used is also of high quality and offers a 120 Hz refresh rate. We benefit from a very high brightness In addition to very accurate colors.

The Mi 11, so far, is the first smartphone to be equipped with a new Snapdragon 888, backed by 8 GB of RAM. In the Android world, Qualcomm’s chip is the most powerful processor. That is what the Mi 11 uses and is no match to the Exynos 2100 used in the Galaxy S21′.
The fast charge allows it to fill 80% of the battery in 25 minutes while not lasting more than a day, proofing that Autonomy is not its most vital feature.
This model will hardly last more than a single day on a charge, proofing that Autonomy is not for it after all. The fast charge allows it to fill 80% of the battery in 25 minutes. With the Mi 11, Xiaomi delivers a real flagship, competing with the best smartphones on the market, all at a more aggressive price.
2. XIAOMI MI 10T PRO
- An excellent autonomy
- Faithful 144Hz display
- Good in-game performance
Mi 10T Pro was released a few months later after a little expensive but attractive Mi 10 Pro. The model panel switches to LCD for the lack of OLED while having a 6.67-inch screen. Compared with the Mi 11. The MI 10T PRO has a less powerful snapdragon 865 from Qualcomm and 8 GB of RAM but still performs well While in full charge. The phone’s Autonomy is no joke as it can exceed two days for everyday use.

THE BEST OF THE MID-RANGE AT XIAOMI
1. XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 10 PRO
- Perfect 120 Hz OLED display
- Clean finishes
- Good Autonomy
Sold for 32,700KES, the Redmi Note 10 Pro is the good money value smartphone that Xiaomi intends to sell by full containers this year. With the use of a 6.67-inch screen, we are there in the presence of a beautiful baby who may pose some concerns to little hands. Without being original, the design is neat, and the finish of an outstanding level for the price as more and more often, the photo module is so imposing that once the phone is in your hands, you will find it difficult for the phone to lie on its back.
More details on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro
In terms of display, there is a 120 Hz OLED panel offering high brightness. And as a bonus, the colourimetry is quite correct, something quite rare in this price range. Slight regret all the same: the refresh rate is not adaptive. You will have to change it yourself if you want to save the battery.
The Snapdragon 732G used is, for its part, much less impressive. The Autonomy is, however, quite good, with nearly two days of use on a charge. The 33W fast charger will need an hour to fill the 5020mAh battery. For its connectivity, it lacks 5G on the menu. Therefore, 4G connectivity works well with this model.
It has four sensors, but only the 108 Mpx stands out. With the Redmi Note 10 Pro, Xiaomi strikes a big blow and offers one of the best mid-range smartphones on the market.
2. XIAOMI MI 10 LITE
- Efficient and 5G compatible
- A beautiful AMOLED screen
- Rather good at photography
Little brother of the Mi 10 Pro and Mi 10, the Mi 10 Lite strikes an excellent balance. It has the merit of being 5G compatible for starters, which is still relatively rare in the mid-range. The front face has a glass integration. There is a Snapdragon 765G processor with a 6.57-inch AMOLED Full HD screen on a more technical level, resulting in an outstanding performance. The photo part, built around four sensors.
Last strong point: Autonomy. For a single charge in everyday use, the 4160 mAh battery can last for two days. In about 30 minutes of charging the fast charge at 20 W allows it to recover 50% of the battery. It uses MIUI 12 interface to replace the bloatware found in the MIUI 11, giving it more pride.
3. XIAOMI POCO X3 PRO
- Good in-game performance
- Efficient, fast charge
- Quality 120 Hz panel
Never the last to add a product to its catalogue, Xiaomi is back here with a steroid version of its perfect Poco X3. It takes its imposing format and design but adopts new colours in the process.
There is also the IPS screen with high contrast and correct brightness. We especially appreciate the presence of 120 Hz, far from being the norm at this price level. The photo performances, on the other hand, leave us hungry, especially in low light. The phone stands out above all, thanks to the performance of the Snapdragon 860. The chip is particularly impressive in games. Less balanced than a Redmi Note 10 Pro. However, it will interest the gamer who does not want to break the bank.
“CHEAP” XIAOMI SMARTPHONES
1. XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 10
- A beautiful OLED screen
- Solid performance and Autonomy
- All at an attractive price
Xiaomi is back to smash the house with a much more ambitious Redmi Note 10 after failing to succeed with the Redmi Note. Pretty and well finished given the price, the machine even has the luxury of being certified IP53. Not worth a truly waterproof, but it will still resist splash and dust.
Using an AMOLED display is a pleasant surprise at this price point. Xiaomi was not cheap either since the panel offers high brightness and correct colourimetry. Add to that stereo speakers and 4 GB of RAM accompanied by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 678 processor. As for Autonomy, It has a 5000 mAh 33W charger that fills in less than 90mins. Therefore, the Redmi Note 10 is an excellent phone offered as a bonus at an attractive price.
2. XIAOMI POCO X3
- An efficient 120 Hz
- Good performance
- Enduring despite everything
If the technical sheet is not everything, the choice of a 120 Hz screen on a smartphone below the 200 euros mark could only attract attention. It has a refresh rate of 120 Hz, while the 6.67-inch screen, on the other hand, will catch your attention quickly. Efficient, enduring and complexity, the Poco X3 fully replicates its results at is 215 grams weight.
3. XIAOMI REDMI 9
- Pleasant in hand
- Perfect Autonomy
- Full HD display
Mmmh, if you opt to choose a redmi eight smartphone instead of the Xiaomi redmi nine, that would be seriously unconvincing. Its design is simple, efficient, and above all, very comfortable in hand. It is equipped with a MediaTek Helio G80 chip which gives it a more than decent performance.
Add to that a solid battery life that reaches two days of light use, and you have a pleasant terminal to use daily. Despite the four sensors, the photo is the most significant weak point of this smartphone, especially with poor low light performance. Still, if it is not a fighter plane, the Redmi 9 stands out as one of the best options of this end of the year for small budgets.
