The latest series of the top of the range of the brand, or the series Xiaomi Mi 10, is one of the best successful. Not just because it is powerful as few, but also because it managed to to combine this power with a very sober, elegant style, without giving up the fashions of the moment.

In fact the effect (sorry for the pun) of a smartphone with curved edges is that of a leaner device, thin, which in all frankness is more beautiful than a square but large.
We are sure that the company is aware of the difficulty in using gestures on this type of smartphones but if we think about everything that is under the body, we will understand that a battery by
