It has become a tradition for Chinese phone manufacturers to release a special edition of their products in celebration of the Chinese New Year/Spring Festival. The latest to do so is Xiaomi as it has released a special version of the Mi 10 5G for the holiday season.
Unlike some manufacturers that release a special color variant of an existing device – usually red, Xiaomi has decided to change only the retail box of the Mi 10. So if you can’t get your hands on this special edition or already have the original, you are really not missing out on anything.
The new retail box is bright red and sports a design that highlights the holiday. This special edition can be picked up in all configurations including the base model that has 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a ¥3399 (~$525) price tag. The CEO of Xiaomi, Lei Jun, said in a Weibo post that the special edition is available across all sales channels.
With respect to specs, the Mi 10 5G has a 6.67-inch FHD+ curved Super AMOLED display with a 2340 x 1080 resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 865 processor and has up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
On the back is a 108MP quad-camera system that also includes a 13MP ultrawide angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. The selfie camera is a 20MP sensor. The Mi 10 can record 8K videos at 30fps and 4K videos at 60fps.
There is a 4780mAh battery inside the phone and it has support for 30W fast wired charging, 30W fast wireless charging, and 5W reverse wireless charging, The Mi 10 also has Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, stereo speakers, an infrared blaster, and an in-display fingerprint scanner.
Xiaomi already launched a successor, the Mi 11, which has a more powerful processor, a bigger and sharper display, faster wired and wireless charging, and a ¥3999 (~$618) starting price.
