10 Best Xiaomi Smartphones from AliExpress

In 2021, Xiaomi Redmi 10 was named the king of the budget segment. The phone looks solid and supports NFC, is equipped with a large screen with a refresh rate of 90 Hz. The processor is not too powerful, but I was pleased with the autonomy - more than a day of work at an average load intensity. The battery recovers quickly with 18W fast charging. The work of the seller with Aliexpress deserves special praise. It packs smartphones securely and ships them quickly. The quality of goods is excellent, so many customers regularly return to this store. It's nice that you can order a kit with a protective film or glass, a case, headphones or a fitness bracelet from Xiaomi.

In the homeland of AliExpress, this model is considered the flagship in the Redmi line. It was decided to release it on the international market as an inexpensive version of Xiaomi Mi 9. In marketing terms, this is the best decision of the company. And although some moments of the device are not flagship, nevertheless, it is much higher than the usual average. The device is made of Gorilla Glass 5 glass. The display diagonal is impressive, the matrix is ​​​​AMOLED FHD +. There are practically no frames, only at the bottom there is a small “chin”. The camera consists of 3 modules, there is a zoom and a super-wide shooting angle. Even in difficult conditions, the picture is clear. The fingerprint scanner is fast here. The battery capacity is decent, there is a device for fast charging (18W). Music lovers will appreciate the classic mini-jack for headphones.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S is at the junction of the budget and mid-price segment. This is one of the most popular smartphones on AliExpress with an excellent AMOLED screen and NFC support.The color reproduction is impeccable, the display brightness is enough for comfortable work even in the sun, but it is recommended to adjust it yourself (auto-tuning is not the best here). 33W fast wired charging included. It is difficult to consider the shortcomings of the model as critical. The main one was the abundance of intrusive advertising during work. Another nuance is that the plastic case turned out to be too slippery, there is a risk that the phone will fall out of your pocket. And it scratches quickly, so you can’t do without a good cover.

Note 8 Pro is one of the top sellers among all smartphones, and not only on AliExpress. It is equipped with a 4-module camera and has a number of other useful improvements. The pictures are of very good quality. It is possible to take a wide-angle photo, blur the background and zoom. During the day the picture is close to ideal. At night, things are more complicated, but you can take a beautiful photo. For the first time in the Redmi lineup, NFC is used for contactless payment. The card tray is hybrid - the user can replace the second SIM card with a MicroSD card up to 256 GB. The back of the smartphone and the protective glass are made of Corning Gorilla Glass 5. For this price segment, this is a significant plus. The processor is liquid cooled. As for the effectiveness of its work, users express dissatisfaction.

The unusual model Xiaomi Redmi K40 will be the best solution for those who often play games on the phone or download resource-intensive applications.It has 12 GB of RAM and a modern processor that can handle any task. The OLED screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz gives good picture quality. The battery is quite powerful, there is the possibility of fast charging with a 67 W adapter. With protection, everything is in order: unlocking by face or fingerprint is supported. The weakest point of the smartphone, judging by the reviews on Aliexpress, are the cameras. They take mediocre photos and are even worse in the process of filming video. Still, the model is intended more for gamers than for bloggers.

Xiaomi 11 Lite is a light version of the 5G model, which was released relatively recently. Here, Xiaomi decided to focus on a reduced price and dimensions. The smartphone weighs just under 160 grams and fits comfortably in your hand. Even the AMOLED screen is only 0.53 mm thick, which is almost half that of most modern phones. A solid design has become an undoubted advantage of the device. The battery is not the most capacious, but there is support for fast charging at 33 watts.Users of AliExpress and other sites were shocked at how successful the lightweight flagship turned out to be. Performance exceeds expectations, even the cameras perform well. The only negative is the rattling in the lens area.

As the name implies, Xiaomi POCO X3 NFC is suitable for contactless payment. But the advantages of the smartphone do not end there. It has a large screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, a powerful processor and a capacious battery. It charges in just an hour thanks to the 33W adapter. Also included is an antibacterial case with a cap for the Type-C connector. Thanks to him, the quad camera will not protrude beyond the frame. Buyers praise the Xiaomi camera in the reviews. It focuses quickly and takes sharp pictures in the sun, with no blur around the edges of the photo. But the detail in macro mode leaves much to be desired. Another disadvantage is that the smartphone turned out to be large and weighty, it is inconvenient to hold it in your hands.

Mi Mix is ​​a springboard for Xiaomi's creative experiments. As part of the line, the manufacturer is testing various innovations. In this case, innovations did not touch the "stuffing", but the form. In the Mi Mix 4, as in the third generation, Xiaomi uses the latest slider mechanism. The screen occupies a large area of ​​the panel and is bent to the back. Moreover, the front half moves down, and not up, as was the case with push-button phones. Hidden inside is a dual camera module. By opening the slider, you can receive calls, open the context menu. The device looks strictly and solidly.The lid is made of ceramic, the side frame is metal. There are no complaints about performance, but autonomy is not the best.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro is one of the latest flagships from the company. Although there are not too many reviews about this smartphone on Aliexpress, you can find detailed reviews on the Internet. The model is called a compromise flagship with a good combination of price and quality. A triple camera with a 5x optical zoom performs well when taking photos, there is not enough stabilization for video, but all Xiaomi lines sin with this. There is support for 5G, wireless and 67W fast charging. A significant drawback of the phone was a relatively small amount of memory, while expansion via micro SD is not available. The reviews also criticize the short battery life due to the powerful processor.

Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro is one of the latest models on AliExpress with flagship specifications. The smartphone case looks stylish and expensive due to the aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass 5 glass. The display refresh rate is 144 Hz, it is quite large, with bright and saturated colors. The camera with a record resolution takes good photos, although the video quality is still inferior to the iPhone. A powerful processor is responsible for stable operation and loading heavy applications. Another advantage of Xiaomi was the minimum energy consumption. He is really able to hold out for up to a day in the mode of watching a video or playing a game. The only negative is that there is throttling under prolonged load.

Mi Note 10 is a large device. It weighs 208g and is 9.6mm thick. In this smartphone, Xiaomi uses 5 cameras at once, one of which is 108-megapixel. The resolution is the highest to date. There is support for Tetracell technology, which can combine neighboring pixels to avoid noise in the photo. The picture is detailed, with the correct exposure and white balance. Three cameras were combined into one block. Two more modules are nearby, but slightly lower. There are enough shooting modes for the implementation of any creative projects. The smartphone will definitely not disappoint those buyers for whom the quality of the photo is crucial. The device is running Android 9 with the new Xiaomi shell - MIUI 11.

The smartphone stands out against the background of glossy models with a matte body with a pleasant texture. This solution is much more practical than cheap shiny plastic that collects fingerprints and dust. Pleased with Xiaomi and charging. The manufacturer said goodbye to the outdated micro-USB and settled on USB Type-C. There is a fast charging function, but an 18W device must be purchased separately. But the most striking thing is the powerful battery. The display also did not save much. He got bigger. Installed IPS-panel with the best characteristics for this price category. The camera here is not bad, with a Sony IMX486 sensor and f/1.8 aperture. AI support provided. The device does not read fingerprints, but there is a face unlock. Of the minuses - the lack of NFC and a small amount of RAM.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T has NFC, 5G internet and other useful features. The front camera is retractable, and the main one is made in the form of a circle, not a rectangle, as in other versions. Thanks to this, the gadget will lie flat on the table, despite the protruding lenses. This innovation did not affect the quality of shooting in any way. Like all modern phones from Xiaomi, Redmi Note 9T supports 18W fast charging. The seller offers kits with different covers and headphones. The reviews criticize the model for a slow fingerprint scanner and low display brightness in the sun. The amount of RAM is also disappointing - not enough for a middle-class smartphone, the speed is lower than that of the Mi 9.

In terms of characteristics, Redmi Note 9 Pro is similar to another Xiaomi model, namely Redmi Note 9S. But the Pro version has more memory. The case is made of plastic, it does not deform under pressure and fits comfortably in the hand thanks to the rounded bezels. The gadget not only supports fast charging, but also comes with a 33W adapter. In reviews of this model, Xiaomi often mentions the high speed of the Internet. Dual-band Wi-Fi works stably under any conditions. The GPS navigator also performs well, it has excellent accuracy. The only negative of the phone mentioned in the reviews is a bad camera. Good pictures can only be obtained in bright natural light.

Another novelty from Xiaomi with a large display protected by Gorilla Glass 5. Its brightness is in the range of 442-593 nits, which is enough for use in the sun.Nano-coated plastic housing repels splashes. There are all the features, including a face and fingerprint scanner, which is rare among budget smartphones. Wi-Fi is dual-band, the gadget can be used as an access point. The battery capacity is good, it is also noteworthy that the kit includes a 22.5W fast charging adapter. The quad camera received positive feedback from customers, especially the macro module with autofocus. But the clarity of the pictures in night mode is not too pleased.
