Xiaomi has been launching quite a few smartphones in the market, at a regular interval, and now the company seems to be gearing up to launch a new 5G smartphone in the market, which is likely a budget to the mid-range offering.
A new Xiaomi smartphone with model number M2007J22C has been approved for network access, as per the report. It is being speculated that the device in question is the upcoming Redmi Note 10 smartphone.
It is also being reported that the device will come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 820 SoC. This makes sense given that the Redmi Note 9 was also powered by the Helio G85 gaming-centric chipset from MediaTek.
This is the same chipset that powers the China-exclusive Redmi 10X 5G and Redmi 10X Pro 5G. A leak related to the device revealed that the phone has 8GB of RAM and runs Android 10 operating system out-of-the-box.

We expect the Redmi Note 10 smartphone to be accompanied by a Pro model as well, which should have a high refresh rate display, NFC support, and more. While not many details about the phones are known at this time, the Redmi Note 10 lineup is expected to be priced around 1,000 yuan (~$146) in China.
