Your Xiaomi Mi 10 will not be complete without this list of applications
Table of contents:
Xiaomi has launched this year two of the best phones in its history, the Xiaomi Mi 10 and Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro. Like all high-end phones, it comes with its custom layer from the manufacturer (in this case MIUI) and despite being one of the best, it is not perfect. There are applications and functions that you will not find by default on your Mi 10 and for that reason we have encouraged ourselves to make a list with the 10 best applications for your Xiaomi Mi 10
The 10 best applications for your Xiaomi Mi 10
Enjoy the list because the truth is that there are many applications that will come in handy for your high-end Xiaomi mobile. It goes without saying that these applications are also compatible with all Xiaomi phones so if you've come this far and have one of these in your possession, we recommend you take a look at it look anyway.
Google Camera, with the port of the GCam for the Xiaomi Mi 10
One of the star applications on all mobile phones that support it is Google Camera or Gcam This application, which we currently have to Install in APK format, it helps us to use the software that Google uses in its Pixels directly on any phone. The result is photos with better image processing than that offered by Xiaomi's own camera application.
It's not that the Xiaomi camera application does it wrong but the truth is that the Gcam manages to squeeze the sensors in a better way The only problem with the GCam is that some lenses on the Mi 10 will not work properly. That's why we recommend the GCam for normal photos and the Xiaomi camera to use the other sensors and get the most out of the camera.
Download the Gcam for your mobile with this app from Google Play
YouCut, a free and easy-to-use video editor
YouCut is a great application that you will need in practically any Xiaomi. The Mi 10 is one of those phones that records videos really well but, in addition, the MIUI video editor has not only been a long time coming but also not really useful. With YouCut you can edit all the shorts you make to get very decent results from your mobile.
Without a doubt, a third-party video editor is necessary in any Xiaomi because unlike other brands it does not offer a good solution. With MIUI 12 it is possible that it will arrive in an improved format but for the moment its utilities are rather few and not very intuitive.
YouCut is free in the Google app store
Telegram, to communicate and consult bargains
It would be ideal a world in which all users switched from WhatsApp to Telegram Still, there are quite a few users today on this communication platform and it is not only useful for that. In Telegram you can create a free private cloud to which you can upload everything at no cost. In addition, you will be able to consult thousands of channels with information on a specific topic, offers and more.
Telegram is currently WhatsApp's biggest potential rival and although it is a long way from being able to surpass the massive application, it can coexistwith this perfectly. Telegram will give you many things that WhatsApp does not come with as standard.
Download Telegram from Google Play Store
Chrome, the best browser
Depending on the version you buy of the Mi 10 you will have it with a Xiaomi browser or not. All versions will prompt you to use the Xiaomi browser (MIUI). However, we believe that this browser is not the best. It does have some interesting options such as the possibility of listening to music from YouTube by turning off the screen or even downloading WhatsApp states, but it is neither the most private nor the most secure.
To navigate on your Mi 10 we will strongly recommend using the Google Chrome application It is the best browser for Android and not because of its speed, but because of its integration with your Google account and how easy it is to access all your data or history from anywhere.It is true that you will share a lot of data with Google but we believe that it is much safer than doing it directly with other third-party applications.
You probably have it installed, although you can also get it through the Play Store
VLC, to play anything
As for players, an Android mobile is not complete if it does not have VLC installed. This player will not only allow you to run anything of any format or resolution on your screen, but it will also allow you to download sub titles, connect to LAN playback sources and many more things.
VLC is known by all for being open source but, on top of that, it is one of the best out there and more complete. With it you can customize everything and you can even use it to listen to YouTube videos with the screen off.It is a very complete and functional player that will come in handy for your Xiaomi Mi 10.
Download VLC from Google Play
JustWatch, your guide to streaming services
We know that today a mobile phone is not complete if you are not subscribed to a streaming movie and series service. It is possible that you choose any, be it Netflix, HBO, Prime Video or try the different trial periods to get several free months of content. But almost certainly if you have a Mi 10 you will have some service of this type among your subscriptions. And what if you have several? Well, it will be impossible to find out all the news about them and contents that are coming out.
JustWatch does just that for you, in a way that no other platform does. JustWatch will ask you what services you are subscribed to and will give you, every day, all the news about them.JustWatch is not only useful for that, it will also help you see where the series or movie you like is and even tell you where to buy it. It is a useful, free platform that every fan of series and movies should have on their mobile.
JustWatch is available for free on Google Play
Photoshop Express, to edit photos like a pro
If you needed YouCut to edit videos, MIUI's photo editor is no wonder either. It is true that it will be very useful for rotating photos, changing the sky in photos or making simple adjustments, but not for complex editions such as those offered by Photoshop Express. This is a 100% mobile-friendly Adobe editor that offers you some useful tools that you won't find in any other photo or image editor.
Photoshop Express has become one of the most useful applications for thousands of people because of how intuitive it is and how powerful it is. If your thing is to get good photos, make montages or make adjustments to the photos so that they are perfect, Photoshop Express will make this task enormously easier for you. The MIUI editor is not one of the worst we see among mobile manufacturers and offers exclusive features such as the exchange of skies, but it is not enough when we want to make a small professional edition to our photos. In addition to Photoshop Express, it can also be very useful Lightroom, also free for Android phones The latter is more focused on photo processing but depending on the type of user who you may prefer one or the other.
You'll find Photoshop Express on Google Play
TomTom AmiGO, the colleague who will tell you where all the radars are
The well-known Google Maps is one of the best mobile GPS navigators out there, there's no doubt about that. However, it is not the best in some things like detecting radars accurately. Google Maps currently offers some traffic and accident alerts but does not integrate a system that allows you to see a map of speed cameras distributed around the globe. TomTom AmiGO, formerly known as TomTom Radars is a useful way to navigate by viewing traffic cameras.
With TomTom AmiGO you will be able to find out where all the fixed speed cameras are in most countries of the world and also know the possible location of mobile speed camerasthanks to the TomTom database. In the latest version, it not only allows you to know the speed cameras, but you can use it entirely to see the available route and reach your destination.The only downside to AmiGO is that it currently does not allow you to select alternative routes, although we hope that TomTom will improve it soon in that regard.
TomTom AmiGO is available for free on the Google Play Store
Office, the Microsoft suite grouped together in a single app
Although Google has an excellent suite for editing files, there is no doubt that everyone wants to have Office on their mobile. In the past, Office for Android offered different applications in a confusing way. Today this has been simplified so much that in a single application you can have the entire Office suite on your Android mobile. We highly recommend this suite much better than others for Android like the ones that come with the Mi 10 as standard.
It is true that if you are only going to view PDFs, WPS Office will be more than enough for you, but if you are looking for something else, you need the Office suite.In this you will find the classic applications of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and even a PDF reader All on your mobile from the same app and in free format. It's one of the newest things Microsoft has released for Android but it lets you have it all in one place.
You can find the Office suite in the Google app store
YouTube Music, one of the best ways to listen to music on your mobile
And last but not least, we've reserved YouTube Music for ourselves. Lately there are many offers to try this application for a few months and, despite the fact that the price is similar to that of Spotify, this app offers more advantages that will come from you pearls. There are tricks to watch YouTube videos with the screen off, but by paying the YouTube subscription you will get it natively and without any type of limitation.
Plus, on YouTube Music, you'll find a extensive library of everything you've brought over from Google Play Music. It is currently one of the best applications for listening to music and we highly recommend it.
YouTube Music is free on Google Play
We hope that our selection of applications to install on your Xiaomi Mi 10, Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro or any other Xiaomi (because in reality they all apply to a mobile with MIUI), has been really useful. We are sure that with it you will be able to get much more out of your mobile.
