Design
The most attractive design is offered by the Samsung Galaxy F62, in my honest opinion. The phone has a less invasive camera module with the same color as the rear cover. But unlike the Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G, it does not come with a glass back. The Gorilla Glass 5 rear side of the Xiaomi Mi 10i provides a more premium feel. Further, the Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G is a thinner phone. None of these devices has a premium design, unlike flagship phones, but they are not disappointing in terms of aesthetics.
Display
The Samsung Galaxy F62 and the Galaxy M52 have the same display: a 6.7-inch panel with the Super AMOLED Plus technology and a Full HD+ resolution. It is actually a better display than Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G and it has an in-display fingerprint scanner. On the other hand, the Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G provides a higher 120 Hz refresh rate which is great for gamers and it has the HDR10 certification for better image quality on streaming services.
Specs & Software
If you need the best performance, then you should go for the Samsung Galaxy F62. Despite not being powered by a Qualcomm chipset, it has a more powerful SoC: the Exynos 9825. But unfortunately, you do not get 5G connectivity with the Galaxy F62. If you want 5G, you must choose the Xiaomi Mi 10i equipped with a Snapdragon 750G SoC, up to 8 GB of RAM, and UFS 2.2 native storage. The Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G is actually more powerful than the Galaxy M51.
Camera
The Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G has the best main camera: a 108 MP sensor with an f/1.8 focal aperture. The Samsung Galaxy F62 and Galaxy M52 feature better secondary sensors (ultrawide, macro, and depth) and they have the same camera departments. They also come with better selfie cameras.
Battery
Samsung Galaxy F62 and Galaxy M51 pack the same huge 7000 mAh battery, and the battery life should be similar. The Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G has a smaller battery and a shorter battery life, but it charges faster.
Price
The starting prices of the Samsung Galaxy F62 and Samsung Galaxy M51 are €270/$320 and €320/$379. The Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G starts from just €250/$296. If we consider the whole specs sheets, Samsung Galaxy F62 is the best one especially due to its powerful chipset. Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G has a better camera and 5G, but a smaller battery and an inferior display to both its rivals.
