(don’t confuse this with Redmi Note 10, Xiaomi Mi 10 or Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite!)
Hi all,
Just wanted to draw your attention, if you’re looking for a new device, that I have been working on a port for Xiaomi Mi Note 10 (tucana) in the last months.
It is not final (not everything works) but I already use it as a daily driver.
Reasons for picking this up: OLED screen, 1/1.33" main camera sensor, hardware support for double-tap to wake, unlockable bootloader, LineageOS 17.1 unofficial port exist.
Mi Note 10 Hardware
You can Compare Sony Xperia XA2 Plus vs. Xiaomi Mi Note 10 vs. Sony Xperia 10 II - GSMArena.com
Here’s my take on the hardware.
- The device is fairly large (matches the XA2 Plus) and very slippery.
- It has a larger battery than the other two - I usually get two days (~36-40 hours) out of it and I haven’t yet use any optimization techniques
- The OLED display is gorgeous, but ‘notched’ - I made a patch for this.
- Main camera takes very good photos - sometimes it is slightly out of focus.
- It sometimes stays warm (not hot). Usually it’s the browser, Internet sharing or a GPS app left running, sometimes it’s lipstick itself - for which
elros34
has a patch.
The SailfishOS community port
What works:
- Display, touchscreen, double-tap to wake
- GSM calls, 3G/LTE data, Wifi, internet sharing
- Sound, recording
- Bluetooth
- Light sensor, compass, GPS, accelerometer. flashlight
- Camera (photos only). Access to wide and one of the tele through Advanced Camera
Needs more work:
- video recording
- proximity sensor (it’s an ultrasound one, I can enable it with android audio services but I lose microphone in calls…)
- infrared sensor - /dev/lirc0 permissions
- USB MTP and usb ssh access
- FM Radio
- Qt haptics (only non-Qt: calls, alarms, menus are working through
ngfd
fork) - fingerprint sensor
- NFC
This “prerelease” is available on https://github.com/sailfishos-on-tucana/Readme/releases/tag/4.1.0.24-prerelease
Issues logged here.
I can expand the flashing instructions based on feedback.
