Xiaomi has launched yet another Redmi Note 10 series smartphone called Redmi Note 10 JE. This handset exclusive to Japan is the eighth model in the lineup. This phone can be considered as a better version of Redmi Note 10 5G and Redmi Note 10T 5G. It has some special features tailored for the Japanese market just like the recently released OPPO Reno5 A.

Redmi Note 10 JE Specifications and Features

The newly announced Redmi Note 10 JE features the exact same design as the Redmi Note 10 5G, which is also known as Redmi Note 10T 5G. In fact, the device has a near identical set of specs with some changes.

First and foremost, the Redmi Note 10 JE is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 chipset instead of a MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC. Further, the handset is IP68-certified for dust and water resistance but it is backed by a smaller 4,800mAh battery (18W fast charging) and lacks dual stereo speakers. Lastly, it comes with a single SIM card slot and it is also compatible with FeliCa / Osaifu-Keitai contactless IC card technology.

Other than the above-mentioned differences, the Redmi Note 10 JE is nothing but a Redmi Note 10 5G inside out. Hence, it sports a 6.5-inch punch-hole (centered) LCD panel with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels, 1500:1 contrast ratio, and AdaptiveSync refresh rate (30Hz, 50Hz, 60Hz, 90Hz).

The device comes with 4GB LPDDR4x RAM and 64GB UFS 2.2 storage. If needed, users can further expand the storage via a MicroSD card slot (up to 1TB). For optics, the phone uses a 48MP (wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) triple camera setup and an 8MP selfie camera.

On the connectivity front, the smartphone supports 5G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1, GNSS (GPS, A-GPS, GALILEO, GLONASS, BeiDou)  USB Type-C, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It has all the essential sensors like an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, gyroscope, proximity sensor, compass, infrared sensor, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

The Redmi Note 10 JE runs MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11. It measures 163 x 76 x 9mm in dimensions, weighs 200g, and comes in two colors (Graphite Gray, Chrome Silver). Last but not least, the handset does not ship with a charger.

Redmi Note 10 JE Price and Availability

The Redmi Note 10 JE will be sold exclusively by KDDI-owned ‘au’ and ‘UQ mobile’ carriers in Japan. The telecom company is yet to reveal the price of this smartphone.

Anyway, as per Xiaomi Japan’s official Twitter account, the phone will be available for purchase from August 13.
