Xiaomi‘s flagship smartphone for this year is just around the corner. The Mi 10 will be the successor to the Xiaomi Mi 9 from last year and will be a premium grade smartphone. Now, a new report has revealed the existence of a Mi 10 Pro variant alongside the standard Mi 10 version.

Reportedly, Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro was discovered via the MIUI 11 codes which have also revealed that one of the smartphones in the Mi 10 series will support 66W fast wired charging capabilities. According to the source, MIUI 11 v20.1.6 build from 16th January 2020 for the Redmi K30 5G contained codenames for two devices alongside the marketing names.

The Xiaomi Mi 10 has been designated with the codename M2001J2C while the Mi 10 Pro has been assigned M2001J1C. This has also confirmed the Mi 10 series will support 66W fast wired charging, which will likely be featured on the higher variant, the Mi 10 Pro. Although Xiaomi has teased 100W fast charging in the past, it seems there is still time before a commercial appearance as of right now.

Previously, a smartphone with the M2001J1C codename had been spotted in China’s CCC certification portal last year in November 2019, which is now believed to be the Mi 10 Pro. This listing had revealed its 66W fast wired charging capabilities. Notably, another smartphone codenamed M2001J1E also supports 66W fast charging and judging by the previous two flagship Xiaomi smartphone, it could be an Explorer Edition of the Mi 10 series. However, this is just speculation at best.

Xiaomi launched the Mi 9 on the same day as Samsung’s Galaxy S10 series but its doubtful if that would be repeated again. The viral outbreak plaguing the Wuhan region in China has been a cause for alarm and may lead to some unexpected delays as well. So stay tuned for more updates regarding the Mi 10 launch and more.
