Just yesterday, Xiaomi India had its first physical launch event after 2 years for the Redmi Note 11 Pro series. A day later, the company schedules another conference (virtual) for the long-awaited Redmi 10. Let’s check out when the smartphone will be heading to the country.

Xiaomi has confirmed to launch the Redmi 10 in India on March 17 (Thursday), which is exactly a week from today. Though the firm has not revealed yet, the live stream for the phone on the official Redmi India YouTube channel will likely kickstart at 12 PM.

Apart from disclosing the launch date, Xiaomi has also shed some details on the features. First and foremost, the device will be powered by a 6nm Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset paired with faster storage (could be UFS).

It will flaunt a large display with a dewdrop notch and a thick chin. There will be a huge battery inside with support for fast charging.

The handset will look identical to the unreleased Redmi 10C featuring a matrix camera array and a fingerprint sensor together on a large module on the smartphone’s rear panel. However, unlike the Redmi 10C, the Redmi 10 for India will have a 50MP dual-camera system of 13MP triple camera setup.

The aforementioned specs do not match with the report from earlier today. Also, as we are still days from the official announcement, we expect to learn more about the Redmi 10 for India in the coming days.

As Xiaomi has almost debuted the Redmi Note 11 series in all the markets, it is now expected to introduce new models in the entry-level Redmi number series. Last year, the company only released a couple of devices in the Redmi 10 series, and therefore, it is said to launch new models in the very same generation instead of the Redmi 11 series. Alleged details about one of these phones have now emerged again.

According to Xiaomiui, Xiaomi is readying to launch a budget smartphone with model number 220333QBI in India. The publication says that this handset will go official as Redmi 10 in the country. For your information, the original Redmi 10 is sold as Redmi 10 Prime in the region.

For those unaware, Xiaomiui had already reported on this phone in late January. It is codenamed ‘fog’ and it was previously suggested to launch as Redmi 10C

There is also a POCO version of the aforementioned device carrying model number 220333QPI. This model is said to break cover as POCO C4.

As far as features are concerned, the new report reiterates the camera specs earlier. However, it does talk about the handset’s software and some other specs for the first time. 

Talking about the operating system first, it will boot MIUI 13 but unfortunately, the build will be based on Android 11. Further, the smartphone will arrive with a 60Hz 6.53-inch HD+ notched display (LCD), a MediaTek chipset with an octa-core CPU, a dual-SIM card slot, a MicroSD card slot, and a 5,000mah battery.

Finally, talking about cameras, the phone will come with a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL S5KJN1 or a 50MP OmniVision OV50C primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, a 2MP OmniVision OV02B1B or a SmartSens SC201CS macro snapper, and a 5MP front-facing shooter.

This alleged Redmi 10 will likely be accompanied by Redmi 10 Prime 2022, which is expected to be the same as Redmi 10 Prime from 2021.

Redmi Note 10S launched along with other devices globally last month. Now, a report by 91Mobiles says that the Note 10S and the Redmi 10 series are coming to India. Along with this, it has also leaked the storage, color variants of the Redmi Note 10S.

Redmi Note 10S India- Storage, Colors

Xiaomi brought three storage and color variants of the Redmi Note 10S globally and it looks like the same will launch in India as per the report. You can look at them below:

• Redmi Note 10S India (Leaked)
  • colors– White, Grey, Blue.
  • memory:
    • 6GB + 64GB
    • 6GB + 128GB
    • 8GB + 128GB

The Redmi Note 10S recently appeared on Bluetooth SIG certification with model number M2101K7BI and here the ‘I’ usually means it’s an Indian variant. If the company doesn’t change the variant too much, it will fall somewhere between Redmi Note 10 and Redmi Note 10 Pro in India.

Accordingly, you can expect a 6.43-inch sAMOLED FHD+ 60Hz centered punch-hole display, MediaTek Helio G95 chipset, quad rear cameras with 64MP mains, 13MP selfie camera, 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging. Globally, the device launched at starting price of $229.

Redmi 10 series India

As per the report, the Redmi 10 number series will launch in India soon. Last year, Xiaomi brought the Redmi 9 Prime to India only after it debuted in China and other global markets. However, the Redmi 10 hasn’t yet been leaked in China so we will have to wait and see if it debuts in India first.

Redmi introduced a new EVOL design with the Redmi Note 10 series and the report says that the Redmi 10 number series could get it. Additionally, we can expect features like FHD+ display, MIUI based on Android 11 OS, and under ₹10,000 price tag for India.

As for the series itself, the report doesn’t reveal any names as such and going by last year’s records, we can only speculate things here.

Last year, Redmi brought close to 5 devices in the Redmi 9 series in India- Redmi 9, Redmi 9 Prime, Redmi 9A, Redmi 9 Power, and Redmi 9i. Out of these, either all or some of them might get successors this year.

It’s also worth noting that Xiaomi or Redmi for that matter hasn’t confirmed anything about this yet so let’s wait for official info on the same.
