Xiaomi has finally launched the Redmi 10A in India. The device initially went official in China at the end of last month. Despite releasing one and a half years after the launch of the Redmi 9A, the latest entry-level smartphone from Xiaomi does not bring any major upgrades apart from a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and a tweaked rear design.

Redmi 10A Specifications and Features

The Redmi 10A is almost identical to the Redmi 9A in terms of features. The only change in the spec sheet is the presence of a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.

On the cosmetic front, the rear panel has a large square-shaped black-colored area housing a single 13MP rear camera, an LED flash, Redmi branding, and the aforementioned fingerprint sensor. The phone measures 164.9 x 77 x 9mm in dimensions and weighs 194g.

The device is powered by a MediaTek Helio G25 SoC. It sports a 6.53-inch display (LCD) with a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels (HD+), 20:9 aspect ratio, and a dewdrop notch nesting a 5MP selfie camera. The screen has a 1500:1 contrast ratio and its peak brightness can reach up to 400 nits.

Connectivity options on the handset include dual-SIM, 4G, single-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, GNSS, and a MicroUSB port. There’s also a 3.5mm headphone jack, a dedicated MicroSD card slot, and a single speaker. Though it comes with a proximity sensor, an accelerometer, and a proximity sensor, it lacks a compass just like its predecessor.

Finally, the smartphone boots MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11 and gets its juice from a 5,00mAh battery, which is limited to 10W charging support.

In 2021, Xiaomi did not release any entry-level smartphones for the first time since the lineup was introduced. For those who are wondering, we are talking about the Redmi A series and the newer Redmi C series. Last year, we only saw the launch of the Redmi Note models and the vanilla Redmi number model in the 10th generation of Redmi phones. The handsets that were left out might finally launch in India soon.

According to Xiaomiui, the Redmi 10A and the Redmi 10C might finally go official in India a year late. This is interesting to learn as Xiaomi has already started introducing the 11th generation of Redmi smartphones with the Redmi Note 11 series.

The publication says that the Redmi 10A is codenamed ‘Thunder’ and ‘Light’. On the other hand, the Redmi 10C is codenamed ‘Fog’, ‘Rain’, and ‘Wind’.

These phones have different codenames as they will vary slightly based on the regions they will be sold in. The latter model will be also sold as a POCO-branded device in some markets.
