Chinese tech company, Xiaomi has launched the new Redmi 10 budget smartphone in India on March 17. The handset expands last year’s Redmi 10 series and comes with a number of “blockbuster” features such as a Snapdragon chipset, 50MP cameras, a big display, and more. It is the rebranded version of Redmi 10C, which launched recently in the global market.
As revealed before, the Redmi 10 comes with a design different from what we saw with the Redmi 10 Prime. It has a square-shaped camera hump at the back, which not only houses the camera housings and an LED flash, but also a fingerprint scanner. The design is similar to the Realme Narzo 50A and refreshing for all we see now is a side-placed fingerprint scanner on most devices.
The Redmi 10 sports a 6.71-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with a waterdrop notch, which feels obsolete for 2022. Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by a Snapdragon 680 SoC, paired with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.0 storage. On the front software, it runs MIUI 13 out-of-the-box but is based on Android 11 OS, which is disappointing.
As far as the cameras are concerned, the rear camera system features two sensors, including a 50MP AI primary camera and a 2MP depth sensor. This is similar to the recently introduced Redmi 10C. The front camera is rated at 5MP for selfies and video calls. The handset supports various camera features like the Night mode, Time-lapse, Tilt-shift, Movie Frame mode, slow-motion videos, and more.
Much like the Redmi 10 Prime, the Redmi 10 also comes with a big 6,000mAh battery and support for 18W fast charging. Taking a dig at Samsung’s recent decision to remove in-box chargers from its budget phones, Xiaomi confirms that it still includes one. Additionally, the smartphone features a 3.5mm audio jack, USB Type-C port, Widevine L1 support, and more.
Redmi 10 has been launched at a starting price of Rs 10,999 in India. You can check out the price of the two configurations right here: 4GB+64GB: Rs 10,999 and 6GB+128GB: Rs 12,999. The smartphone comes in Midnight Black, Caribbean Green, and Pacific Blue color options. It will be up for grabs, starting March 24 via Mi.com, Mi Home, Flipkart, and partner retail stores.
