The latest entry-level phones from mainstream Chinese brands are very interesting devices. Some of them come with an attractive design, each of them sports a huge battery, and most of them is even providing good performance thanks to the latest entry-level chipset by MediaTek and Unisoc. This is a comparison between the specifications of three devices which we consider among the greatest entry-level phones in the current period. We are talking about the Motorola Moto E32, the Redmi 10A by Xiaomi’s sub-brand, and the Realme C31.

Motorola Moto E32 vs Xiaomi Redmi 10A vs Realme C31

Design

The design of the Motorola Moto E32 is too good to be a design of an entry-level phone. First of all, it comes with a punch-hole display instead of an ugly waterdrop notch. The rear side looks clean and elegant with that small camera module sporting the same color as the rest of the rear side. Further, the smartphone is water-repellent, which will be great for those who want to use their phone in the rain. Another device with a stunning rear side is definitely the Realme C31, reminiscent of Realme’s flagships such as the GT 2. The Redmi 10A is not so beautiful with that huge camera isle and thick bezels around the display including a waterdrop notch.

Display

The image quality provided by the displays of these phones is more or less the same. They are three IPS LCD panels with diagonals around 6.5 inches and an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels. Nothing special, but they are sufficient for most of the people out there. The phone which wins the comparison is the Motorola Moto E32 because it is the only one with an above-average refresh rate: it goes up to 90 Hz for a smoother viewing experience. This device and the Realme C31 come with a side-mounted fingerprint reader,  while the Redmi 10A has a rear-mounted biometric sensor.

Hardware/Software

The most convincing hardware department belongs to the Xiaomi Redmi 10A. It is fueled by the MediaTek Helio G25 chipset which provides higher CPU and GPU performance than the Unisoc chipsets found in its two rivals. Further, it offers up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage, way more than the highest-end memory configuration of the Redmi 10A and the Realme C31 stopping at 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of native storage. The silver medal goes to the Realme C31 sporting a Unisoc Tiger T612 chipset, up to 4 GB of RAM, and up to 64 GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage. All of these phones run Android 11 out of the box.

Camera

The best cameras belong to the Motorola Moto E32. First of all, it has a better 16 MP main camera. Further, it comes with two secondary sensors with 2 MP resolutions for macros and depth calculation, as well as a better 8 MP selfie camera. The Redmi 10A has just one single 13 MP shooter, while the Realme C31 has a 13 MP camera, a 2 MP macro lens, and a useless 0.3 MP depth sensor.

Battery

The batteries have exactly the same capacity: 5000 mAh. These phones should provide almost the same battery life because the components have more or less the same efficiency. But the Motorola Moto E32 is the only one with fast charging support.

Motorola Moto E32 vs Xiaomi Redmi 10A vs Realme C31: Price

You need at least €150/$160 for the Motorola Moto E32 and the Realme C31, while the Redmi 10A starts from €100/$105. The Motorola Moto E32 wins the comparison thanks to a higher refresh rate, better cameras, and fast charging, but you should consider that it is the worst one in terms of performance. The best hardware is provided by the Redmi 10A but all the other specifications are inferior, while the Realme C31 sits right in the middle between its two rivals.

The post Moto E32 vs Redmi 10A vs Realme C31: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

If you are looking for a new low-end phone available for a very affordable price, the Redmi lineup has a lot to offer in 2022. We are talking specifically about the Redmi 10 series, which now includes several new devices. Recently, the Xiaomi sub-brand launched the 2022 version of the vanilla Redmi 10, the new Redmi 10A, and even the Redmi 10 Power with higher-end specifications. If you are not an expert on phones, it will be hard for you to pick a device among the ones in this trio. That is the reason why we decided to publish a comparison between the specifications of the Redmi 10, the Redmi 10A, and the Redmi 10 Power.

Xiaomi Redmi 10 vs Xiaomi Redmi 10A vs Xiaomi Redmi 10 Power

Design

If you want the most impressive device in terms of design, then opt for the Redmi 10 Power. Unlike its siblings, it comes with a very attractive leather back and, alongside the OPPO F21 Pro, it is the only affordable phone in 2022 with a leather back. For the rest, the design is the same as the Redmi 10A and the vanilla Redmi 10, but it is a bit thicker because of the presence of a big battery and due to its leather back. The fingerprint reader of the phone is side-mounted and the front panel includes a waterdrop notch.

Display

The displays of the Redmi 10 Power and the Redmi 10 are exactly the same in terms of quality and specifications. They are below-average IPS LCD panels with HD+ resolution (720 x 1600 pixels) and a diagonal of 6.7 inches: do not expect anything special from these displays, but they are sufficient panels. The Redmi 10A comes with an IPS LCD panel with an HD+ resolution as well, but it is a smaller panel with a diagonal of 6.53 inches. This makes the phone more compact than its siblings. All of these phones have a waterdrop notch, mono speakers, and a pretty thick bezel on the lower side.

Hardware/Software

The Redmi 10A is the most disappointing device of the trio because it is fueled by an inferior MediaTek Helio G25 chipset built at 12 nm and running at a max frequency of 2 GHz. The SoC is paired with up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage that you can furtherly expand with a micro SD. The Redmi 10 Power and the vanilla version are both powered by the Snapdragon 680 4G mobile platform built at 6 nm with a max frequency of 2.4 GHz, but the Power variant wins the hardware comparison. Why? Simple, because of the memory configuration: it comes with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage, while the vanilla version stops at 6 GB of RAM.

Camera

Again, the Redmi 10A is the less impressive one because it packs just one single rear shooter with a 13 MP resolution. The Redmi 10 and the Power variant come with a dual camera including a better 50 MP main sensor and a 2 MP depth sensor. The front cameras are all the same, with 5 MP resolutions.

Battery

If you are looking for longer battery life, then you should buy either the Redmi 10 Power or the vanilla Redmi 10. They have the same 6000 mAh battery capacity and a more efficient processor built at 6 nm. The Redmi 10A has a smaller 5000 mAh battery, but it is still a great battery phone.

Xiaomi Redmi 10 vs Xiaomi Redmi 10A vs Xiaomi Redmi 10 Power: Price

You need about €100/$105 to purchase the Redmi 10A, the Redmi 10 Power costs about €180/$190, and the vanilla version starts from €149/$157. The Redmi 10A can not compete with its siblings, while the Redmi 10 Power is a vanilla version with more RAM and a leather body. Which one would you pick?

The post Redmi 10 vs Redmi 10A vs Redmi 10 Power: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this month, Xiaomi had announced the Redmi 10A for the Indian market. The new entry was the company’s latest budget range of smartphones, which will finally go on sale in the region later today (26th April 2022). So let’s have a look at its pricing and specs.

Talking about the device itself first, the Redmi 10A sports a 6.53 inch HD+ display that has a waterdrop notch and a peak brightness of 400nits. Under the hood, it is equipped with a MediaTek Helio G25 SoC that is paired with an ARM GE8320 GPU. For memory, users are offered up to 4GB of RAM and up to 64GB of internal storage. The device also runs Android 11 OS based MIUI 12.5 custom skin out of the box.

On the rear, it packs a long 13 megapixel camera with an LED flash, while the front houses a 5 megapixel selfie shooter. A large 5,000mAh battery pack runs the device, but it does not feature fast charging and only charges at 10W. Other features include Dual-SIM, 4G, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, Glonass, and Beidou. Notably, the smartphone is offered in multiple color options, including Slate Grey, Charcoal Black, and Sea Blue.

The Chinese tech giant’s Redmi 10A is exclusively available on Amazon India and the company’s official website. Its sales start at 12 pm IST and the device is being offered in two storage configurations. The 3GB + 32GB model is priced at 8,499 INR (roughly 111 US Dollars), while the 4GB + 64GB model has a price tag of 9,499 INR (roughly 124 US Dollars).

The post Redmi 10A to begin first sale in India today, Here’s specs & price appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi had recently launched the Redmi 10A in China and India. But now, the global variant of the same model has been spotted on GeekBench, which revealed some of its key specifications.

As of right now, the Chinese tech giant has already started sharing teasers for the upcoming launch of the 10A model. But prior to its official release, the device was spotted on the popular benchmarking platform. Looking at the listing, we can see that the Redmi 10A global variant will be equipped with a MediaTek Helio G25 SoC. The device also carried the model number 220233L2G. We can even see the smartphone’s results, with its single core performance achieving 132 points, while the multi core received 486 points.

Furthermore, the benchmark listing also revealed that the Global variant is confirmed to arrive with at least 2GB of RAM and will run on Android 11 OS out of the box. Although, it will likely run the company’s custom skin on top. Unfortunately, this is all the key information that was found on GeekBench, although, the smartphone had recently launched in India. So, we have a rough estimate regarding what other specifications it might launch with for the global market.

The Indian and Chinese versions sported a 6.53 inch HD+ IPS LCD panel with a waterdrop notch on the front. Under the hood, a large 5,000mAh battery pack powers the device, which supports 10W charging. On the rear, there is a 13 megapixel camera, while the front house s a 5 megapixel selfie shooter. It also offers a rear mounted fingerprint scanner as well. In other words, it’s quite similar if not identical to the versions launched in India and China.

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.

Redmi 10A Price and Availability in India

The Redmi 10A in Charcoal Black, Sea Blue, and Slate Grey color options will retail at the following price tags in India.

• 3GB + 32GB – ₹8,499 ($111)

There are going to be 3 launch events next week. One of them will take place in India, while the remaining two will be held in China. As far as the devices are concerned, a total of 4 phones are expected. There will be a single entry-level, whereas the others will be mid-rangers.

Talking about brands, the three separate events will be headed by Xiaomi, Realme, and Oneplus respectively. With that out of the way, let’s take a look at all these upcoming smartphones one by one.

Upcoming Smartphones Next Week

Redmi 10A

At the end of March, the Redmi 10A made its initial debut in China. The entry-level smartphone is now heading to India on April 20 (Wednesday). Though Xiaomi hasn’t revealed the timing for the virtual event yet, we can expect it to begin at 12 PM on Redmi India’s official YouTube channel.

The Redmi 10A is almost the same as the Redmi 9A from 2020. The only major difference between the two is the presence of a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor on the newer model, in addition to a slightly tweaked back design.

The device comes with a 6.53-inch HD+ display (LCD), MediaTek Helio G25 SoC, 13MP rear camera, 5MP selfie camera, MicroSD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, MicroUSB port, 5,000mAh battery, and 10W charging support.

Realme Q5 Series

Realme has scheduled a launch event in China for April 20 (Wednesday) at 2 PM CST. The company has confirmed to announce the Realme Q5 series at this conference. According to teasers and leaks, three models are expected, namely Realme Q5,  Realme Q5 Pro, and Realme Q5i.

The Realme Q5 Pro is said to arrive with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC, 6.52-inch 120Hz OLED display, 50MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple camera system, 16MP selfie camera, 5,000mAh battery, and 80W fast charging.

On the other hand, the Realme Q5i is tipped to come with a 6.58-inch FHD+ display (LCD), Mediatek Dimensity 810 chipset, 13MP + 2MP dual-camera setup, 8MP selfie camera, and a 5,000mAh battery.

Unfortunately, the specs of the Realme Q5 are a mystery for now.

Oneplus Ace

On April 21 (Thursday), Oneplus will be holding a launch conference in China at 7 PM CST. The star of the show will be Oneplus Ace. The upper mid-range smartphone will be accompanied by accessories like Oneplus Buds N and Oneplus Bullets Wireless Z2.

The forthcoming Oneplus Ace is nothing but a tweaked Realme GT Neo 3. The only major difference between the two is the rear design. The Ace is also set to go official in India later this month as Oneplus 10R.

The Oneplus Ace will offer features like a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, Mediatek Dimensity 8100 SoC, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, 50MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple camera setup, 16MP selfie camera, dual stereo speakers, 5,000mAh battery, and 80W/150W fast charging support.

Last month, Redmi launched the budget-friendly Redmi 10A in China. The device is said to soon make an appearance in markets outside China. A leakster recently stated that the device will launch on April 20 in India.

Now, the company has officially confirmed the April 20 launch date of the device for the Indian market. The Redmi 10A is expected to come with the same specifications in India as well. Therefore, it will likely feature a 6.53-inch water-drop notch display with an HD+ (1600 x 720 pixels) resolution. The panel will have 400 nits of peak brightness and an aspect ratio of 20:9.

The device will feature a single 5MP front camera for selfies and equips a single 13MP camera at the rear. Under the hood, it will likely have a MediaTek Helio G25 SoC, paired with 4GB/6GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of internal storage. It comes with a microSD card slot for storage expandability up to 512GB.

It houses a 5,000mAh battery with support for 10W charging. It has a 3.5mm headphone jack for audio and a micro-USB port for charging and data transfer. For security, it has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and boots on MIUI 12.5 based on Android OS.

The device is expected to arrive in Black, Blue, and Silver colors. Coming to its expected pricing, the Redmi 10A 4GB + 64GB is available for 649 Yuan ($102) in China while the 4GB + 128GB and 6GB + 128GB variants go for 799 yuan ($126) and 899 yuan ($141) respectively. So we can expect the Indian pricing to start in the Rs 7000 range and go up to around Rs 10,000 for the top-spec model.

It appears that the first global market to get the device will be India as a tipster has revealed the release date of the smartphone for the Indian market.

As per PassionateGeekz, the Redmi 10A will launch on April 20 in the Indian market. We expect it to arrive in Black, Blue, and Silver colors. The pricing of the phone is yet to be revealed, but we can expect it to come under Rs. 10,000 segment in India.

The post Redmi 10A India launch date tipped – Here’s what to expect! appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Redmi 10 came back in 2022 in a new version for the Indian market. The Indian version of the Redmi 10 is very different from the model launched last year and it brings a new processor to the market, as well as a bigger battery. Besides this device, the Chinese giant also came up with two other variants from the same series: the Redmi 10A and the Redmi 10C. For a lot of users, it is hard to understand which of these devices is the best and which one provides the highest value for money. We decided to publish this comparison between the specifications of the Redmi 10, the Redmi 10A, and the Redmi 10C in order to highlight the differences between these three handsets and help you to find out which one is the best choice.

Xiaomi Redmi 10 vs Xiaomi Redmi 10A vs Xiaomi Redmi 10C

Design

It is impossible to distinguish the design of the Redmi 10 and the one of the Redmi 10C: they look like the same handset because they come with the same camera module and the same display with a waterdrop notch. The Redmi 10C wins the design comparison because it is thinner and lighter than the vanilla version and even than the Redmi 10A. Given that it comes with just one single sensor on the rear side, the 10A has a smaller camera module, which is why you can distinguish it from the other two. Further, it is a more compact phone because it packs a smaller display. All of these phones are entirely made of polycarbonate with the exception of the front glass, but the Redmi 10 is protected by Gorilla Glass 3, the strongest protection by Corning in this trio.

Display

The display quality of these three handsets is exactly the same because they have the same display specifications. We are talking about three IPS LCD panels with HD+ resolutions of 720p. However, you should note that the Redmi 10 and the 10C come with a wider panel, thanks to a 6.7-inch diagonal. All have a waterdrop notch and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. Their refresh rate is standard and there is no additional technology to improve the image quality, so do not expect a great color reproduction. Even the level of detail provided by these displays is not impressive. They are sufficient panels, but nothing more.

Hardware/Software

The Redmi 10 and the 10C come with stronger hardware: they are powered by the Snapdragon 680 chipset paired with up to 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of native storage. The Redmi 10A has an inferior MediaTek Helio G25 chipset and just 4 GB of RAM. The Redmi 10 and the Redmi 10C run a more recent version of Xiaomi’s customization: the MIUI 13, even though it is still based on Android 11. With the Redmi 10A, you get the older MIUI 12.5.

Camera

The Redmi 10 and the 10C also pack better cameras: on the rear side, they sport a 50 MP main sensor and an additional 2 MP depth sensor, while the Redmi 10A sports a single and disappointing 13 MP camera like the one you could find on the Redmi 4A several years ago.

Battery

The Redmi 10 wins the battery comparison because it packs a bigger 6000 mAh battery with stunning battery life. The Redmi 10C and the 10A still come with big batteries, but they stop at 5000 mAh.

Xiaomi Redmi 10 vs Xiaomi Redmi 10A vs Xiaomi Redmi 10C: Price

The starting price of the Redmi 10 (Rs. 10,999) roughly translates into €130 at the actual change, the Redmi 10A starts from €90/$98, and the 10C sits in the middle in its base variant. The Redmi 10 wins the comparison thanks to a bigger battery.

Last week was not the busiest in the consumer technology world. However, we did witness multiple product launches in different markets though some of them had already gone official earlier.

The most notable events were hosted by OnePlus and Black Shark for the OnePlus 10 series and the Black Shark 5 series respectively. Then, there was also a Xiaomi conference at which the company introduced two more Redmi Note 11s.

Finally, as far as non-launches are concerned, we have selected two articles to complete our list. These are regarding Samsung’s self-repair program and Chrome v100.

With that out of the day, let’s take a look at the aforementioned stories one by one.

Top Stories from Last Week

OnePlus 10 Pro debuts globally

The OnePlus 10 Pro finally made its global debut on March 31. The smartphone was also accompanied by the OnePlus Bullets wireless Z2 neckband-style wireless earphones.

The handset has the exact same set of features as the original Chinese model, except for a couple of changes. The North American version is limited to 65W fast wired charging. Further, the T-Mobile variant has an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

Interestingly, the device comes in a single 8GB + 128GB memory configuration in North America. While the rest of the world gets the handset in 8GB + 128GB as well as 12GB + 256GB memory versions.

The phone starts at $899/₹66,999/€899/£799, while the earphones are priced at ₹1,999.

The RS version looks identical to the Black Shark 4/4S series. On the other hand, the other two models sport a new design. Apart from the cameras, the rest of the specs are more or less the same on all three.

Xiaomi launched two new Redmi Note 11s called Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G and Redmi Note 11S for select international markets.

Samsung partners with iFixit for a self-repair program

In November 2021, Apple announced a self-repair program for its iPhones. Following the trendsetter, last week, Samsung launched its version of the self-repair program in collaboration with iFixit.

The South Korean electronics giant’s initiative is currently limited to the Galaxy S20 series, Galaxy S21 series, and Galaxy Tab S7+. The program provides authentic parts, repair tools, and repair guides to the customers.

We expect more companies to introduce their self-repair program as part of the ‘right to repair.’

The post Redmi 10A appears on MIIT, Images appear on the TENAA page appeared first on Gizmochina.

It was revealed by Xiaomiui last month that Redmi is working on the Redmi 10A handset with 220233L2C model number for China, 220233L2G model number for global markets, and 220233L2I for India. The Chinese variant was seen at the 3C regulatory site earlier this month. Now, the device has bagged approval from the TENAA authority, which indicates that it may launch this month or in March in China.

Redmi 10A specifications (rumored)

The Redmi 220233L2C measures 164.9 x 77 x 9mm and weighs around 194 grams. It is fitted with a 6.53-inch IPS LCD display that offers a 20:9 aspect ratio and an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1,600 pixels.

The TENAA listing states that the handset’s back panel is fitted with a single camera of 13-megapixel. The front side of the device features a 5-megapixel selfie snapper. Unfortunately, the images of the phone haven’t appeared yet in TENAA’s database. Hence, it is unclear what sort of design the Redmi 10A will be arriving with. The listing reveals that it lacks a fingerprint scanner.

The 2.0GHz octa-core processor, which powers the 220233L2C could be the Helio G25 chipset. The device may come with 2 GB, 4 GB, 6 GB, 8 GB of RAM, and 32 GB, 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB of storage. It is backed by a 4,900mAh (rated value) battery. The 3C certification of the device revealed that it may come with support for 10W charging. The handset is expected to come in multiple colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, white, black, grey, silver, and pink.

It appears that its global edition (220233L2G) may come with modified specs as compared to its Chinese variant. The global variant was spotted at FCC certification last month with a 13-megapixel + 2-megapixel dual-camera system. It also revealed variants like 2 GB RAM + 32 GB storage, 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage, 3 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, and 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. The FCC certification also revealed that it runs on MIUI 12.5 flavored Android 12 OS. It also revealed that the device will be equipped with a fingerprint scanner.

Apart from the Redmi K50 series, Redmi seems to be working on two other phones called the Redmi 10A and Redmi Note 11E Pro for the Chinese market. The Redmi 10A was recently certified by the FCC certification site and it was also spotted at the Geekbench benchmarking site.

The Redmi 10A has appeared with its 220233L2C model number in the database of 3C. The model number of its global edition is 220233L2G. The 3C certification has revealed that its retail package may include a 10W charger. Unfortunately, the 3C certification has no other information on its specs. Reports have claimed that apart from China and global markets, the device will be also heading to India with a 220233L2I model number.

Redmi 10A specifications (rumoured)

Reports have revealed that the Redmi 10A will come in multiple configurations such as 2 GB RAM + 32 GB storage, 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage, 3 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, and 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. It may feature a front camera of 13-megapixel and a 13-megapixel + 2-megapixel dual rear cameras.

The predecessor Redmi 9A lacked a fingerprint scanner, but its successor is likely to come equipped with it. The previously seen Geekbench listing revealed that it may ship with the Helio G25 chipset and Android 11 OS.

Redmi Note 11E Pro incoming

The Redmi Note 11E Pro name has recently appeared in the list of Google supported devices. It is nothing but a rebranded version of the Snapdragon 695 powered Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G that debuted in global markets The Note 11E Pro has been approved by TENAA and 3C authorities, which indicates that it will debut in China.

The post Redmi 10A 3C certified, launch seems imminent appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last week, we started hearing about the Redmi 10A, a phone that should have been released almost a year ago. A new appearance of the device reveals more details about it. Let’s check out what all it has to offer.

The upcoming Redmi 10A has been spotted on the FCC SAR certification database by Xiaomiui. According to the listing, the phone will be a tweaked version of Redmi 9A.

The listing clearly mentions that the Redmi 10A (220233L2G) is a variant of Redmi 9A (M2006C3LG). It even describes the differences between them.

The new model will have a 13MP + 2MP dual-camera setup instead of a single 13MP shooter. Further, it will feature a fingerprint sensor, which is not found on the older handset. 

Finally, the latest smartphone will arrive in new 4GB RAM and 64GB/128GB storage variants, in addition to 3GB RAM and 32GB storage versions. The actual memory configurations are as follow – 2GB + 32GB, 3GB + 32GB, 3GB + 64GB, 4GB + 64GB, and 4GB + 128GB.

According to a recent Geekbench listing, we already know that the Redmi 10A will be powered by the same MediaTek Helio G25 chipset. Therefore, in a nutshell, the successor of Redmi 9A will only bring upgrades like a 2MP secondary sensor (possibly depth), a fingerprint sensor, and more RAM/storage variants.

Going by the first four characters of the model number, which depict year and month, the Redmi 10A will likely go official in February. The smartphone will come in at least three regional variants – 220233L2C (China), 220233L2G (Global), and 220233L2I (India).

The Redmi 9A and Redmi 9i launched back in 2020 were long due for a refresh, and it now looks that they’ll be getting just that with the soon-to-launch Redmi 10A, which has made a fresh Geekbench appearance.

The Geekbench 4 listing (MySmartPrice) reveals that the Redmi device carrying model number 220233L2C scores 787 points and 3,710 points in the single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. Powering the phone will be the MT6762G, which is a codename for the entry-level MediaTek Helio G25 processor.

The octa-core chip is rather old and slow by 2022 standards and isn’t really an upgrade considering the Redmi 9A also came with it. Hopefully, the recycling of an older chip will mean better-optimized software.

The benchmark listing further reveals that the MediaTek chip on the Redmi 10A will be supported by 4 gigs of RAM, out of which 3.71GB appear to be actually available. It is likely that more configs will be available at launch though.

On the software front, the Redmi 10A will be booting into Android 11 out of the box, which while isn’t the latest, will hopefully be layered with MIUI 13 atop.

Do keep in mind here that the handset in question is the Chinese variant, and a global variant of the Redmi 10A with model number 220233L2G has already appeared on the IMEI database. Both will likely be launching quite soon.

As for the specs other than mentioned on the Geekbench listing, they’ll again most likely not differ much from the Redmi 9A. The Redmi 10A will hence likely offer a large HD+ display and be equipped with a 5,000mAh or larger battery.

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’.
