In particular, the Mi Note 10 sports the 108MP f/1.69 Samsung HMX sensor with OIS paired with 20MP 117-degree ultra-wide, 12MP 2x telephoto with 2PD, 5MP 5x telephoto sensor, and a 2MP 1.5cm macro camera. In total, it has 5 cameras at the back.

On the other hand, the OnePlus 7 Pro only uses a triple-camera setup with 48MP f/1.6 Sony IMX586 with OIS + 16MP f/2.2 117-degree ultra-wide + 8MP 3x telephoto sensor w/ OIS w/ PDAF, CAF, and Laser AF.
The 108MP Samsung sensor is 1/1.33-inch big versus the 1/2-inch of the 48MP Sony sensor.
But despite its lesser back camera hardware, it is still a flagship that uses a flagship chipset with a high-end image processor.
Now let's see if the back cameras PHP 25,990 Xiaomi Mi Note 10 can beat the OnePlus 7 Pro that originally has a PHP 42,990 starting price.

100 percent crop |
Obviously, the resolution of the Mi Note 10 is larger. But as you can see here, it is softer than the OP7 Pro shot.
Scene 2 - Against the light
Here, the Mi Note 10 shot is noticeably brighter. Again, it has a wider field of view. The details on the cloud and the color tone is more accurate on the OP7 Pro though. It is a tight fight, but I'll give it to Xiaomi.
Scene 3 - Zoom

Mi Note 10 50x zoom |
Mi Note 10 has up a stablized 2x optical zoom. It also has 5x optical zoom versus the 3x optical zoom of OnePlus. AND, it is a great type of 5x zoom. Fortunately, OP7 can put up a decent 10x zoom digital.
But, it still pales in comparison to the maximum 50x digital zoom of the Mi Note 10. This shows that the Mi Note 10 is the more versatile zoom camera phone.
Xiaomi achieved that by using two zoom sensors along with the crop of the massive 108MP camera.
Scene 4 - Close-up
For me, both performed wonderfully in this scenario. Using their primary shooters, both the Mi Note 10 and OnePlus 7 Pro got a close-up shot with crisp details and a natural bokeh effect. To nitpick, I'll go with the Mi Note 10 as it delivered the image with a true-to-life color tone. The OnePlus shot is a bit saturated and contrasty. It depends on your preference.
Scene 5 - Ultra-wide
Scene 6 - Ultra-wide against the light
Scene 7 - Indoor
Scene 8 - Low light
Scene 9 - Night mode
Scene 10 - Ultra-wide night
Verdict
Using the back cameras of the phone for photography, Xiaomi's Mi Note 10 proved that it can hang with the big boys despite its much lower price tag. It has inconsistencies, but when it got the image right, it is very tough to beat.While the OnePlus 7 Pro didn't produce the sharpest image always, there are times where I like its output better even if it only has a 48MP primary sensor versus the 108MP of the Xiaomi Mi Note 10.
For me, it could go either way. But, if you are looking for an affordable camera phone with better versatility because of its 5 cameras, the Mi Note 10 is a must consider.
