Xiaomi announced a new Gray color variant of Mi 10 in its home country China. This version of the handset will be available starting tomorrow (July 31) in the region. Unfortunately, it is not known in which storage configuration this color option will be made available. 

The Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro are the most expensive commercially available flagship smartphones from Xiaomi. The major difference between the two is their camera setup. Though both of them have the same 108MP primary sensors, the accompanying sensors are different from each other.

The duo was unveiled in February of this year. The regular Mi 10 was introduced in three colors namely “Coral Green”, “Twilight Gray”, “Peach Gold”. Now, after 5 months from its launch, the device is getting a fourth color in China.

Xiaomi calls this color as “Guofeng Ya Gray” (Country Style Elegant Gray) and it is different than the already available “Twilight Gray” variant. This color looks more like the new Liquid Silver Redmi 10X Pro but with a matte finish.

Having said that, it is not known if this color variant of Mi 10 will be made available in international markets. The probability of Xiaomi launching them can be considered next to zero as the Mi 10 series start at €799/₹49,999 competing directly against Samsung, Apple, and OnePlus in these regions.

It has been only two months since Xiaomi launched the Mi 10 series in China. However, the company has still managed to sell over a million units even during a global pandemic. The information comes directly from Lu Weibing, the Vice President of Xiaomi who is also the General Manager of Redmi brand.

A blogger praised the price to performance ratio offered by the Xiaomi Mi 10 series when compared to phones from competitors on Weibo. At the end of the post, the person also tagged Mr Lu and asked whether the series has sold 1 million units yet.

Surprisingly, quoting the blogger’s post, Lu Weibing answered that the company has already sold over a million units of Mi 10 series long ago. This sales figure is really impressive as the worldwide smartphone shipments dropped by 38% in February, the month in which these devices were launched. Additionally, the Mi 10 series is the costliest primary flagship phone from the company yet.

The overall smartphone shipments dipped by 13.3% in the first quarter of 2020 due to lockdowns issued by governments across the world to curb the outbreak of coronavirus. But a report from last week mentioned Xiaomi along with Apple has been slowly recovering from the COVID-19 crisis.

Xiaomi’s CFO Shou Zi Chew also claimed the Chinese market has recovered by 80-90%, however, he did admit poor sales for his company’s products. But unfortunately, he did not reveal the exact number. Thankfully, we now have some numbers, at least for the Mi 10 series.

Xiaomi launched the Mi 10 series last month in China. The company is yet to debut it in international markets and even in India, whose launch dates are March 27 and 31 respectively. Also, it has been reported that the Chinese smartphone maker will be only selling the standard Mi 10 5G in global markets, leaving behind the Mi 10 Pro 5G exclusively for China. Now, a new report by TechRadar also reveals the UK pricing of the device.

The Mi series of smartphones by Xiaomi is the company’s premium lineup of smartphones. The smartphone maker has a number of sub-series in this lineup including Mi number series (primary flagships), Mi Note series (premium mid-rangers), and Mi Mix series (concept flagships). The Mi number series, which is currently in its 10th generation, consists of the Mi 10 5G and the Mi 10 Pro 5G in the Chinese market.

Now, as usual, the Mi 10 series will be made available in international markets like Europe and even India after a hiatus of four years since the Mi 5 in 2016. Although we know everything about these phones, their availability and pricing outside have been uncertain. But not anymore, as a report confirms the company will only sell the standard Mi 10 5G in global markets including Europe where the company launched both Mi 9 and Mi 9 Pro last year.

Additionally, the report also reveals the pricing of the Mi 10 5G for the UK. According to the report, the handset will cost £700 and £800 for the 128GB and 256GB storage variants respectively. 

Unfortunately, it is not clear whether the 256GB variant will come with 12GB RAM or 8GB RAM as the base variant. Further, although the launch is set for March 27, it is still not clear when the device will be made available for purchase amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Xiaomi was supposed to unveil the Mi 10 series on February 23 at a pre-MWC event. Unfortunately, less than two weeks to the event, it had to be postponed as the GSMA had decided to cancel MWC 2020 due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Xiaomi has now announced a new release date.

The Mi 10 series will be unveiled on March 27 and it will be an online event. The launch will begin at 14:00 hrs (GMT+1) and will be live-streamed on the official Xiaomi accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

The Mi 10 series includes the standard Mi 10 5G and the Mi 10 Pro 5G. The two phones are powered by the Snapdragon 865 processor. They also have the same 6.67-inch AMOLED FHD+ punch-hole display with a 90Hz refresh rate. The selfie camera on both devices is a 20MP sensor.

Coming to their differences, the Mi 10 5G has a 108MP primary rear camera, a 13MP ultrawide camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. The Pro version also has a 108MP primary camera along with a 20MP ultrawide camera, an 8MP telephoto camera, and a 12MP portrait camera.

The Mi 10 Pro packs a 4500mAh battery with support for 50W wired fast charging and 30W wireless charging. The non-pro model has a larger battery with a capacity of 4780mAh but comes with a slower 30W wired fast charging. It too supports 30W wireless fast charging.
