The IMEI database listing reveals that the upcoming Xiaomi phone with the 2019106A1I model number will be heading to India with the Redmi Note 10 Lite. This model has already received certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

Hence, it appears that the Note 10 Lite could be rebranded version of the Note 9 Pro. Hopefully, newer reports will reveal more information on the specs of the Note 10 Lite in the upcoming days.

For those who don’t know, “curtana” is the codename of the Redmi Note 9 Pro (India) which is also the device sold in other markets as the Redmi Note 9S. What this means is that the Redmi Note 10 Lite is a rebadged Redmi Note 9 Pro (India)/Redmi Note 9S! Yes, Redmi is relaunching last year’s phone under a new name.

There are speculations that the Redmi Note 10 Lite may be slightly different from the Redmi Note 9 Pro (India)/Redmi Note 9S. It remains to be seen what this difference is and if it will result in a higher price tag.
