Display Comparison
Both devices feature displays with an 'Infinite' contrast ratio, suggesting excellent black levels. However, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro edges out the Reno4 Pro with a measured peak brightness of 858 nits compared to the Reno4 Pro’s 843 nits. While the difference is subtle, it translates to slightly better visibility in direct sunlight. Both likely utilize AMOLED panels, but the Mi 10 Pro’s higher peak brightness and flagship positioning suggest a potentially wider color gamut and more sophisticated calibration. Neither specification details refresh rate, but the Mi 10 Pro’s higher price point would suggest a higher probability of a 90Hz or 120Hz panel.
Camera Comparison
Both phones are listed as having Photo/Video capabilities, but the specifics are missing. Given the Mi 10 Pro’s flagship status, it likely features a more advanced camera system with larger sensors and more sophisticated image processing. The Snapdragon 865’s ISP (Image Signal Processor) is also more capable than the 720G’s. While both phones likely offer versatile camera setups, the Mi 10 Pro’s hardware advantage suggests superior low-light performance and dynamic range. Without detailed sensor information, it’s difficult to make a definitive judgment, but the Mi 10 Pro’s positioning suggests a more comprehensive camera experience.
Performance
The core difference lies in the chipsets. The Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro boasts the Qualcomm SM8250 Snapdragon 865 5G (7nm+), a flagship processor with a Cortex-A77 prime core clocked at 2.84 GHz. This is a substantial leap over the Oppo Reno4 Pro’s Snapdragon 720G (8nm). The 865’s Adreno 650 GPU provides significantly more graphical horsepower, making it the clear winner for gaming and graphically intensive applications. The Mi 10 Pro’s CPU architecture – 1x2.84 GHz Cortex-A77, 3x2.42 GHz Cortex-A77, and 4x1.80 GHz Cortex-A55 – is far more capable than the Reno4 Pro’s Octa-core (2x2.3 GHz Kryo 465 Gold & 6x1.8 GHz Kryo 465 Silver).
Battery Life
The Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro has a slight edge in battery endurance with a rating of 101 hours compared to the Reno4 Pro’s 96 hours. However, the real differentiator is charging speed. The Mi 10 Pro supports 50W wired charging (PD3.0), 30W wireless charging, and even 5W reverse wireless charging. The Reno4 Pro, while still impressive, offers 65W wired charging, reaching 60% in 15 minutes and 100% in 36 minutes. The Mi 10 Pro’s wireless charging capabilities and broader charging options provide greater flexibility, while the Reno4 Pro’s wired charging is marginally faster.
Buying Guide
Buy the Oppo Reno4 Pro if you prioritize a lighter, more manageable device with excellent battery *endurance* and are comfortable with a mid-range chipset. It’s ideal for everyday tasks and moderate gaming. Buy the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro 5G if you demand top-tier performance for demanding games, video editing, or heavy multitasking, and value faster charging speeds and a more feature-rich experience, even if it means a slightly heavier device.
