If you’re using the Mi 10 Ultra device and want to enable root access via Magisk then this guide is for you. In this guide, we have shared with you the steps to Root Mi 10 Ultra using Magisk without TWRP in a very simple way for your ease.
Every Android user wants to get the most out of it when it comes to the customizations and tweaking of your device. Rooting is one of them and offers superuser or administrator access to the user in order to modify the system files and apps easily. After enabling root access, users can edit or delete system root directory files, overclock device performance, use rooted apps, install custom modules, etc. There are unlimited possibilities that you can perform on your rooted device easily.
In order to root your Mi 10 Ultra, we will use the Magisk to patch the stock boot image and flash that to your device boot partition. Now, if you ask why Magisk? It’s a system-less root process that doesn’t tamper with the system partitions while enabling root access. Magisk can also hide online security measures to work apps properly like any banking app, SafetyNet, etc.
Released in August of 2020, the Mi 10 Ultra boasts a massive 6.67″ 1080 x 2340 OLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The display has a notch cutout for the camera and has a tall aspect ratio of 19.5:9.
Under the hood, you get the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset powered by the Adreno 650 for the graphics. The Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra comes in various RAM and storage variants ranging from 8GB + 128GB all the way up to 16GB + 512GB. You get the faster UFS 3.1 storage on all the storage options which keep things such as app and game launches fast and smooth.
When it comes to the cameras, the Mi 10 Ultra has a whole bunch of them laid out in a quad-camera setup at the rear. The primary camera is a 48MP lens with Xioami’s own sensor inside. The 20MP ultrawide lens allows you to capture images in tighter spaces. There is also a 48MP telephoto lens which gives you access to 5x optical zoom and up to 120x hybrid zoom which is just crazy. Lastly, the 12MP depth sensor is used for capturing portraits of human subjects and other objects with precise edge detection.
All of this power is backed up by a 4500 mAh battery which might not sound impressive at first glance given the 120Hz display on the Mi 10 Ultra, but the real eye-catcher is the insanely fast 120 Watt charging.
Other features of the newly launched Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra include a fast in-display fingerprint scanner, dual stereo speakers, and support for reverse wireless charging. Overall, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra is a tough phone to beat for the starting price of CNY 5,599 which is roughly 60,100 Indian Rupees. The phone comes with MIUI 12 based on Android 10 and is promised the latest updates on the quickest from the company.
