Over the last couple of days, Xiaomi‘s India arm has been teasing an upcoming smartphone which was later confirmed to be the Redmi 10 Prime. The tech giant has equally confirmed that the smartphone will go official in India on September 3. Redmi 10 Prime

Again, Xiaomi has revealed another interesting detail about the Redmi 10 Prime. The device is confirmed to feature the latest MediaTek Helio G88 chipset. Ordinarily, this wasn’t supposed to generate too much interest considering that the G88 powers the Redmi 10 that was launched for the global market a few weeks back. However, Xiaomi has often released the Indian model with a different chipset. For reference, the Redmi 9 packs an Helio G35 chip while the Indian Redmi 9 Prime features an Helio G80 SoC.

Furthermore, the development would make the Redmi 9 Prime the first device with an Helio G88 chipset to hit India. The chipset was announced only recently alongside the Helio G90. It succeeds the older Helio G80 and G85 chipsets and arrives with features such as support for a 90Hz refresh rate support, LPPDR4x RAM, and eMMC 5.1 storage. It also supports up to 64-megapixel cameras, Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth 5.0.

The teaser page shared by Xiaomi India head Manu Kuma Jain also suggests a “superstar camera” onboard the 10 Prime. This is likely the same as the 50MP main shooter on the global version. We expect the Redmi 10 Prime to feature the same design as the Redmi 10. The device is also touted to be a significant upgrade over the Redmi 9 Prime and the Snapdragon 662-powered Redmi 9 Power.

If that be the case, the device will sport a 6.5-inch IPS LCD screen with an FHD+ resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels and a 90Hz refresh rate. The display also comes with a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The phone will come in 4GB/6GB LPDDR4x RAM versions as well as 64GB and 128GB expandable storage options.
