Probably no one doubts that Xiaomi with its series of flagships My 10 made a big qualitative leap. However, the most advanced mobile hardware today has asked for its tax, and that is the higher price.
In addition, every euro is justified in the case of the Mi 10
The manufacturer presented the Mi 10 not only in a top-notch design, but also equipped smartphones with the best mobile hardware of today. Of course, this increased the price of the smartphone to over 500 € / 12 CZK and we were not used to such prices for Xiaomi smartphones until now.
Xiaomi Mi 10 curved screen costs $ 90, and other flat screens are only $ 30. In addition, Xiaomi's 108MP sensor costs $ 50 and 48MP costs $ 13. Snapdragon 865 and 5G basebands cost twice as much as 855!

However, if we take into account the production costs of a smartphone, we will find that every euro above is justified and perfect equipment requires higher costs. Famous leakster with a nickname Ice Universe on twitter, he mentioned only three basic elements of the Mi 10 equipment, which significantly exceed the costs compared to conventional mobile hardware.
The most expensive is the processor, the display is tight
The Mi 10 smartphones feature a 6,67-inch curved AMOLED perforated display that costs approximately $ 90 (83 € / CZK 2). At the same time, the cost of a regular flat screen is at the level of no more than $ 30 (28 € / CZK 706).
The same goes for the Snapdragon 865 with support for 5G mobile networks. The cost of procurement of this element is double compared to the previous model SD855. The estimated price of the Snapdragon 855 was around $50 (46 € / CZK 1160), so a new 865 can cost up to $ 100 (92 € / CZK 2325).
Last but not least, the price was also significantly increased by the 108 MPx photo sensor from the Samsung workshop. Its acquisition costs are the least $ 50 (46 € / CZK 1). That's compared to a 160 MPx sensor for approx $ 13 (12 € / CZK 303) almost four times more.
As you can see, the equipment of the new Mi 10 is really expensive and therefore the higher price of the new flags is justified. In addition, due to the company's low margins and their pricing policy, the Mi 10 costs significantly less than competitively equipped smartphones.
For all of them, we will mention only the basic Galaxy S20 model, the price of which starts at 899 € and some parts of the equipment are weaker than the Mi 10, such as the 108 MPx sensor.
