Yesterday, Redmi debuted the Redmi Note 11T series in China. At the event, the company also introduced the Redmi Buds 4 series and Redmibook Pro 2022 Ryzen Edition. The Xiaomi Band 7 was also announced at this conference.

The aforementioned products had already been confirmed before yesterday’s event. But what wasn’t revealed prior to the conference was the Redmi Note 11 SE. Though the phone sounds new, it is nothing but a Redmi Note 10 5G redux.

The Redmi Note 10 5G was announced in the first half of 2021. The smartphone also goes by the name of Redmi Note 10T 5G and Poco M3 Pro 5G with a tweaked exterior look.

A year after its debut, Redmi has once again released this handset under a new name — Redmi Note 11 SE. However, unlike the previous three variants, this one doesn’t feature the third 2MP macro camera on the rear. Further, its design is near-identical to the Poco M3 Pro 5G instead of the Redmi Note 10 5G.

The phone arrives in two memory configurations, such as 4GB + 128GB and 8GB + 128GB. They are priced at ¥1,099 ($165) and ¥1,399 ($210) respectively, The device can be availed in either Shadow Black or Deep Sea Blue color options.

The handset is up for pre-order and will be available for purchase starting May 31. For a limited time, as part of the 618 promotions, the base model will cost only ¥999 ($150).

Though the pricing sounds cheap, it actually isn’t. The original Redmi Note 10 5G was also introduced at the same price and it was also available at ¥999 for a limited time.

Xiaomi has launched a new smartphone under the Redmi brand in Japan. The Redmi Note 10T 5G shares a name with a similar model launched last year in India but the two models are not the same. The new Note 10T is powered by a Qualcomm chipset as against a MediaTek model on last year’s own and it bears a different design.

The new Redmi Note 10T packs a 6.5-inch IPS LCD screen with support for a 90Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels. The device features a punch-hole design while at the rear, there is a dual-camera setup arranged in a vertical module at the top left corner of the back panel. The display is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

As stated earlier, the Note 10T is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 chipset which confers on the device 5G connectivity. The phone is capable of mustering download speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps and upload speeds up to 660 Mbps. The chipset also comes with support for Wi-Fi 6 as well as Bluetooth 5.1. The chipset is paired with 4GB RAM while the base model has 64GB storage expandable via a microSD card slot.

For photography, the Redmi Note 10T 5G packs a 50 MP main camera teaming up with a 2MP depth sensor. The device crams a 5000 mAh battery under the hood and features support for 18W fast charging.

For interface, the Redmi model runs on MIUI 13 based on Android 11 primed to get Android 12 in the near future. As for the price, the Redmi Note 10T is priced at 34,800 JPY (~$276) for the 4GB + 64GB model. There may be other memory configurations but for now, this is the only available model on Xiaomi’s Japanese website. The phone is available in three hues –  Black, green and blue.

Once in a while, we publish a comparison between the most affordable 5G phones released by mainstream smartphone manufacturers. We do it because they are among the hottest handsets in the market: a lot of people want to try 5G connectivity but, at the same time, they want to save money as 5G phones are generally more expensive than 4G ones. In this article, we compared the specifications of three of the main 5G budget phones from Chinese manufacturers sold in the global market: Redmi Note 10T 5G, Realme 8 5G, and OPPO A54 5G.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10T 5G vs Realme 8 5G vs OPPO A54 5G

Design

OPPO always pays a lot of attention to the realization of the designs of its phones, including the affordable ones. The OPPO A54 5G is the device with the most interesting design not only for attention to the details but even for its sleek body. It is thin and lightweight despite its big battery, and it has a high screen-to-body ratio. The Redmi Note 10T 5G has bigger dimensions and a less impressive design, but it comes with the Gorilla Glass 3 protection which makes the display panel sturdier. All these phones are built with polycarbonate and they do not include premium materials.

Display

On the paper, the OPPO A54 5G has a superior display: unlike Redmi Note 10T 5G and Realme 8 5G, it has an LTPS panel which is a more advanced kind of LCD display. But the specifications are the same for each device: a diagonal of 6.5 inches, a Full HD+ resolution, and a 90 Hz refresh rate. The phones are equipped with a side-mounted fingerprint reader for authentication and they have a single punch hole on the front.

Hardware/Software

The most advanced phone if we talk about the hardware department is the Realme 8 5G. It has the same processor as the Redmi Note 10T 5G: an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 700 built with a 7 nm production process and belonging to the mid-end segment (low-end if we only consider 5G phones). But the amount of RAM is higher: in the most expensive configuration, it comes with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.1 native storage. The Redmi Note 10T 5G goes up to 6 GB of RAM, but it features UFS 2.2 storage. The three handsets run Android 11 out of the box.

Camera

If you need the best camera phone, you should go for the OPPO A54 5G without thinking twice. It has a brighter focal aperture for the main 48 MP sensor and it adds an 8 MP ultrawide camera, unlike Redmi Note 10T 5G and Realme 8 5G. Further, it has the best front camera with a 16 MP resolution and an f/2.0 focal aperture.

Battery

These phones come with the same battery capacity: 5000 mAh. And given that the components are similar, you should not expect important differences in terms of battery life. Note that OPPO A54 5G lacks fast charging, while Redmi Note 10T 5G and Realme 8 5G support it.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10T 5G vs OPPO A54 5G vs Realme 8 5G: Price

You can actually find OPPO A54 5G and Realme 8 5G for less than €200/$240 in the global market, while in India they start from Rs. 13,990 and Rs. 15,499 online. Redmi Note 10T 5G is priced at Rs. 14,999 in India and it is still not available globally. Overall, the OPPO A54 5G is slightly more interesting (even though not for everyone): despite it lacks fast charging and it has an inferior chipset, it comes with better cameras.

The Redmi Note 10T 5G is coming to India and it has got a release date now. While the mid-range phone will be launching as the first Redmi-branded 5G phone in the country, it is already sold in India under a different name (and slightly different design) – the POCO M3 Pro 5G.

A short video uploaded by the Redmi India YouTube channel has revealed that the Redmi Note 10T 5G will launch on Tuesday, July 20. There is also an event page on the official website that teases some of its features.

The Redmi Note 10T 5G arrives as the successor to the Redmi Note 9T 5G which launched in Europe early this year. However, while Xiaomi didn’t bring the Redmi Note 9T 5G to India, it is offering the successor under the Redmi brand as well as its POCO brand in the region.

Xiaomi has released a bunch of new products in India in the last few months. As per new teasers, the company will be announcing yet another product. Let’s take a look at what the firm’s promotions have to say about this mysterious device.

The teasers of an upcoming Xiaomi product come from Redmi India’s official Twitter account. This confirms that whatever this device is it will be Redmi-branded.

Further, the company is using the words ‘Fast and Futuristic’ to promote the device. Going by an outline sketch (pictured above) on the official landing page on Mi.com, the product will most likely be a smartphone.

So the next question is which smartphone can it be? We even have answers for it. Redmi India’s cryptic tweets reveal that their next product for the country will belong to the Redmi Note family.

That’s not all, the tweets also suggest that this forthcoming phone could go official as Redmi Note 10T 5G. The product’s teaser page on Amazon India is a dead giveaway for this. The image name used by the eCommerce giant confirms the branding of the smartphone.

Talking about the phone, the Redmi Note 10T 5G could essentially be a rebranded Redmi Note 10 5G. For those unaware, there’s also a Redmi Note 10T without 5G. It has the exact same specs as the Redmi Note 10 5G but it is limited to 4G (LTE).

That said, Xiaomi India is yet to officially announce the launch date of the Redmi Note 10T 5G. The company should reveal it in the coming days. Ahead of that, do let us know how much do you think the phone will cost in the country?
