Lei Jun, founder and CEO of Xiaomi had recently teased the arrival of a new flagship smartphone — Mi 10 Pro Plus. As the name itself indicates, the phone is an upgraded variant of the existing flagship — Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro.
Today, he has shared a new post on Weibo related to the launch of Mi 10 Pro Plus. From the post, it seems that the company is planning to host an in-person launch event in China. Further, it appears that Lei Jun himself will host the launch event.
This is an exciting development given that the in-person launch events have not been taking place for more than four months now due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But as most countries are opening up, there’s a possibility of physical launch events.
However, do note that this is not yet confirmed and it’s speculation at this point in time, based on the post by the company’s CEO on Weibo. We expect more information regarding this in the coming days.
As for the smartphone, Lei Jun has hinted about several features that could be a part of the upcoming Mi 10 Pro Plus smartphone. The features include Dual Speakers, high refresh rate display, 3.5mm headphone jack, NFC, Infrared sensor, 30x and more zoom support, Front and rear optical sensors, VC heat sink, 4500mAh battery, and wireless charging.

It’s likely that the Mi 10 Pro Plus will come with a 120Hz AMOLED display and pack Snapdragon 865 chipset or the newly announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus SoC. It will have a quad-camera setup on the back with 100 MP primary sensor, optimized for better zoom capabilities.
It will be running the Android 10 operating system out-of-the-box with MIUI 12 on top. The phone, powered by a 4,500mAh or bigger battery, will likely have support for 120W Mi Turbo fast charging technology.
We expect Xiaomi to share more details about this smartphone as well as shed some more light on the phone’s launch event. To know more, we will have to wait for a few more days.
