The 10 has 4K UHD (1440 x 2560 pixels) display resolution with 564 ppi pixel density that is more high than the Mi 5s 2K HD (1080 x 1920 pixels) display resolution with 427 ppi pixel density. It makes this model a good choice for reading books. The Mi 5s smartphone is easier to use as it has smaller dimensions than the 10: 145.6 x 70.3 x 8.3 mm versus 145.9 x 71.9 x 9 mm. The Xiaomi Mi 5s model weight 145g that is 16g less than the weight of the 10.

The 10 model is produced with a memory card slot. This is a pleasant advantage: the user can easily expand internal storage and transfer files. The Xiaomi Mi 5s has a better battery life as it is produced with 3200mah battery that is 200mah bigger compared to the 10 cell.
