Xiaomi debuted the Redmi Note 10 series in India in March. At that time, the company only announced three devices, namely Redmi Note 10, Redmi Note 10 Pro, and Redmi Note 10 Pro Max. Now, two months later, the Indian arm of the Chinese handset maker has released the fourth model in the lineup dubbed as Redmi Note 10S. The firm also launched the Redmi Watch alongside this smartphone in the country.

Redmi Note 10S Specifications and Features

The Remi Note 10S is not a new device. This handset was already unveiled at the Redmi Note 10 series global launch event. Unlike other models in the lineup, this phone comes with Android 11-based MIUI 12.5 pre-installed. It is one of the two Xiaomi smartphones, other than the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition, to ship with the latest version of the MIUI out of the box.

Talking about specs, the device flaunts a 6.43-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), 409 PPI, 8-bit color, 1,100 nits peak brightness level, centered punch-hole, 180Hz touch sampling rate, and a standard 60Hz refresh rate. The panel covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, features a 4,500,000:1 contrast ratio, and is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 layer.

Under the hood, the phone houses a MediaTek Helio G95 SoC coupled with 6GB LPDDR4X RAM and up to 128GB UFS 2.2 storage. On the connectivity front, the handset supports dual-SIM, 4G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, and GNSS (GPS, GALILEO, GLONASS, BeiDou).

Further, the back and the frame of the smartphone are made of plastic but they do look like glass and metal respectively. Anyway, the device is IP53-rated for splash resistance.

As for cameras, the rear side includes a quad-camera setup consisting of a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP 118° ultra-wide unit, a 2MP macro shooter, and a 2MP depth sensor. Whereas, on the front, there is a 13MP snapper inside the punch-hole for selfies and video calls.

Other features of this phone include dual stereo speakers, 3.5mm headphone jack, Hi-Res Audio certification, USB Type-C port, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, z-axis linear vibration motor, infrared sensor, accelerometer, proximity sensor, compass, 360° ambient light sensor, gyroscope, 5,000mAh battery, and 33W fast charging.

Last but not least, the Redmi Note 10S measures 160.46 x 74.5 x 8.29mm in dimensions, weighs 178.8g, and comes in three colors (Deep Sea Blue, Frost White, Shadow Black).

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.

Yesterday, Xiaomi unveiled the Redmi Note 10 series for global markets. The lineup consists of five models, namely Redmi Note 10, Redmi Note 10 Pro, and Redmi Note 10 Pro Max, Redmi Note 10S, and Redmi Note 10 5G. The last two phones were not announced for India. But now, according to new findings, they may come to the country after all.

The Redmi Note 10S and the Redmi Note 5G that went official yesterday feature a similar ‘Evol’ design like the rest of the lineup. The former even has the exact same specs as the vanilla Redmi Note 10 with a few key differences. On the other hand, the latter is different than other models in the series.

Xiaomi did not launch either of these phones in India. Instead, it released another model called Redmi Note 10 Pro, which is different from the Pro variant for other regions. That’s because the Pro variant for the rest of the world is known as Redmi Note 10 Pro Max in the country.

That said, the firm may bring those unreleased smartphones to India after all. Because they have been certified by BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards).

However, interestingly, the Redmi Note 10 5G (camelliain) with model number M2103K19PI has been certified under the POCO brand. Hence, it could become the first POCO 5G smartphone for India. Unfortunately, its marketing name is a mystery as of now.

Whereas, the Redmi Note 10S (rosemaryin) with model number M2101K7BI is certified under Xiaomi itself. But we cannot be sure if it will go official in India with its original name. There’s a high chance it may launch under a new name, given the company’s history.

Anyway, although POCO India is running a new campaign with its new mascot, Xiaomi India has just debuted new phones under its best-selling series yesterday. So we think the POCO model may launch first. It could be announced alongside another anticipated device – POCO X3 Pro.
