Some new tips concerning Xiaomi's next flagship phone suggest that it could launch before the 2020 Galaxy Unpacked event. That would make it the first Snapdragon 865 device to be announced this year. In addition, there may be a Mi 10 Pro variant in the offing.

Too bad it will be a huge slab of phone...this year I'll probably buy a smaller screen midrange phone with the Mediatek dimensity 1000 chipset, it given 90% of sd865 processor.

Xiaomi phones are cheaper for a reason.
They have premium hardware specs on paper, but after a while of use you'll encounter annoyances with the software and cameras.
Good enough for most people, but you get what you paid for.
