    Ranveer Singh has never been known for having a conventional style. In fact, over the years, his personal style has only become wilder and bolder, making it all the more unique.

    Before the coronavirus pandemic hit us, he was constantly serving us with outlandish OOTDs, and now that things have started normalising again, it looks like he is back at it.
    For Deepika Padukone’s 35th birthday this year, Ranveer was seen stepping outside in not one but two separate outfits. 
    The first one was a monotone athleisure outfit.

    However, the second outfit for the party was rather peculiar. 
    Take a look at his outfit here.

    Ranveer was seen wearing a pair of bell-bottoms that looked like they were folded up and stitched, along with heeled boots. 

    He finished the look with a Gucci cap in the original baseball canvas edition that retails at 390 US Dollars which comes down to Rs 28,000 approximately.

    Among others, Ishaan Khatter, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ranbir Kapoor, and Alia Bhatt were also present at Deepika's birthday bash.

    Madam Chief Minister’s trailer finally dropped today and it has been receiving polarising reactions on Twitter already. 
    The serious political drama starring Richa Chadha in the lead, Akshay Oberoi and Manav Kaul is set to release on July 2020.
    Written and directed by Subhash Kapoor, the film’s poster was released yesterday.
    (madam)
    If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, take a look at it here:

    Richa Chadha plays the role of a shrewd politician with significant clout in Uttar Pradesh. The film follows her journey as she breaks multiple glass ceilings to become a prominent politician.

    Interestingly, Director Subhash Kapoor was a political journalist in the 90s before he ventured into the films. 

    People are definitely impressed.
    What a stellar trailer, @RichaChadha!
    While the stereotypical representation in poster is problematic, but a very few artists like you have always been allies in our movement against caste system, often at a personal & professional cost.
    My best wishes! https://t.co/6mcUKbzc38
    — Jignesh Mevani (@jigneshmevani80) January 6, 2021 They’re praising Richa’s performance.
    From Bhooli Punjaban in Fukrey to Nagma in Gangs of Wasseypur to Devi in Masaan, to her latest Madam Chief Minister, she’s always pushed the envelope with her sterling performances. Congratulations @RichaChadha and so looking forward to seeing this https://t.co/JQwVPxvFtd
    — Kiran Manral (@KiranManral) January 6, 2021 Even Manoj Bajpayee is all praise.
    Very powerful and engrossing!!! Best wishes @RichaChadha !!! @subkapoor @TSeries @saurabhshukla_s #manavkaul https://t.co/JBujR7RZWn
    — manoj bajpayee (@BajpayeeManoj) January 6, 2021 But some people think it’s tone-deaf.
    Then it is a horrible representation. Not just that, it is unethical and deliberately tone-deaf.
    — Don't Follow Me l Flour Power (@whatisdapoint) January 6, 2021 Or the fact that it’s 'overrated' at the same time.
    Trailer Review - Madam Chief Minister

    OUTDATED, Old School Drama, Poori film trailer mai dikha dia... Will fail to bring audience inside theatres, typical OTT material..... @TSeries #MadamChiefMinister
    — Rohitt Jaiswal (@rohitjswl01) January 6, 2021 But at the end of the day, everyone is praising the acting.

    Xiaomi has released its perfect competition to the OnePlus Nord in the form of the Mi10i and the smartphone ticks all the right boxes apart from a few caveats. The Mi 10i is India's first major smartphone launch of the year and with specifications that are perfect for the budget-conscious consumer. The phone is perfect for users who don't really need to buy a flagship phone but need all the bells and whistles. The Mi10i gets a lot of things right but also has some annoying characteristics that shouldn't be ignored. With a very competitive price and offering everything a consumer needs from a phone, the Mi10i is one smartphone you should definitely not ignore. Here's what I think about the Mi10i and how it fares against the competition.
    Design and Display  When looking at the Mi10i, the first thought that will come to your mind is the fact that the phone is using a rehashed design. That's because you've seen it before in the form of the Poco F2 Pro in India and the Redmi Note 9 Pro from China. It uses the same template design with subtle changes such as changing the flash module placement and changing up the branding. It is yet another recycled phone from the factories of Xiaomi and looks as if it was literally picked up from the production line, and a few things were changed. If you can look beyond the fact that the Mi10i uses a recycled design, then this phone may just be for you.

    Having said that, I really do like the gradient colour of the Pacific Sunrise model where it uses hints of orange and blue at the back of the phone. It looks an awful lot like a cocktail I would buy at the beachside. It's refreshing to see Xiaomi experimenting with colours especially since the overall design hasn't changed much from the 2020 smartphone. At the back, the most prominent feature is the circular camera module that houses the four sensors. While the sensors have been changed from the aforementioned Xiaomi models, the overall look is largely the same. 
    Similar to the Poco F2 Pro, the phone also has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor on the power button. In my personal preference, I prefer this form of biometric security over an in-display fingerprint sensor as it is more secure and convenient to use. The index finger or your thumb naturally sits on the power button depending on which hand you use to operate the phone. 
    The Mi 10i is also quite heavy as compared to other devices by the company which can be attributed to the massive battery. Apart from the refreshed design, the sheer weight of the phone is the only aspect that was bothersome. Your hand eventually gets used to the weight of the phone, however if you were hoping for a light phone, the Mi 10i doesn't fit the bill.

    The overall design surely feels more premium than other phones in the same category. In fact, the Mi 10i feels more premium than the OnePlus Nord as it does not use polycarbonate material. It feels like a solid device to hold that is more akin to the Xiaomi Mi 10. 
    The display on the Xiaomi Mi10i is also surprisingly better than my experience on the OnePlus Nord. I would anyway prefer a high-grade IPS LCD panel over a cheap Super AMOLED display which is used in the OnePlus Nord. The clarity is better and the brightness level isn't too far from each other. IPS LCD displays are often misconstrued to be “inferior” to Super AMOLED displays but that is not entirely true. A very good IPS LCD display similar to what you find in gaming monitors can be better than cheap sAMOLED displays. That is the case with the Mi10i here as the IPS LCD display on the Mi 10i offers a more consistent experience than the OnePlus's Nord's display. 
    The Mi 10i uses a 6.67-inch display that has a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and an aspect ratio of 20:9. The panel also has a refresh rate of 120Hz that should result in a smoother browsing and faster gaming experience. Having said that, it seems like the current build of MiUI is not as well optimised as I would have liked it to be. Also, no major game supports up to 120 FPS in their games right now which is a bummer.
    Having said that, the higher refresh might come handy in the future, once competitive games start supporting it. Surprisingly enough, the display also supports HDR10 and HDR10+ content which results in a better viewing experience when using apps like Netflix, Prime Video and other OTT apps.

    The Mi 10i has been outfitted with a 108MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, 2MP depth sensor and a 2MP macro lens. In my time with the phone, I do have to say the camera performance is quite good for the price. My reference being the OnePlus Nord, it is definitely better than the competition. Having said that, I would have wished it to take slighter clearer pictures in the default mode but it's still good enough to be shared on social media. To be fair, it has been quite overcast in Delhi for the past week which isn't ideal for testing a phone's camera but it was still quite impressive. 
    The camera can also hold its own when it comes to night mode and does not struggle at capturing images like the OnePlus Nord. The phone was able to capture accurate colours and plenty of detail even though there wasn't much light in the room. Sometimes the colours can be off but it's not that bothersome.

    We do have to mention that a camera update was supposed to be rolled out in time for the review. Since the review unit has not received the update yet, it is prudent to mention these images were captured based on the camera build-out of the box. The update might improve the camera performance even further, however we can only know that once the update has been issued. Xiaomi reassures the update will roll out before the sale of the phone and we shall update our review if needed.
    The other lenses such as the depth sensor also manage to capture portrait images with impressive accuracy. Xiaomi does use software manipulation to detect edges better after clicking the image which doesn't really have a problem with. It is far better than any OnePlus phone's portrait mode. 
    The Mi10i can also capture video up to 4K resolution but it can only capture 4K resolution at 30 frames per second. Here are some camera samples straight out of the phone:

    Performance The Xiaomi Mi 10i is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 750G chipset and comes coupled with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM. In my experience, the phone was quite stable to use and was extremely smooth at handling apps we use daily. The phone is also incredibly optimised for battery life which is quite rare to see during the initial launch period. In our testing, the Mi10i also fared well when it came to playing games. We tested games like Genshin Impact that have many assets since it is an open-world RPG. The phone handled the game well most of the time, apart from times when there were too many enemies on the screen. There were slight frame rate drops which is quite normal for a chipset of this calibre. 
    In competitive games such as League of Legends: Wild Rift where there aren't as many assets to handle, the game ran buttery smooth. There were no major frame rate drops and it handled competitive matches with flying colours.
    For people interested in benchmark scores, the Mi10i managed to score 657 (single-core) and 2016 (multi-core) which is surprisingly higher than the OnePlus Nord if you go by the figures from our review. In our 3DMark test, the phone scored 2763 in the Sling Shot Extreme test which is not at par with the OnePlus Nord. That seems about right since the OnePlus Nord's Snapdragon 765G SoC has a slightly more powerful GPU which is also 10% faster.

    We mentioned before that the Mi 10i is quite well optimised for battery life which is quite impressive since the phone has a 120Hz refresh rate panel. The phone easily lasted for more than a day on a single charge thanks to its massive 4820mAh battery. The battery can also be fast-charged at 33W using a capable Power Delivery charger.
    The Final Say When considering everything the Mi10i offers, it's the perfect alternative to the OnePlus Nord. The phone surpasses the competition when it comes to camera performance, build quality and price. If you can look beyond the recycled design of the phone, the Mi10i is a great smartphone to consider in 2021.
