Just about the same time when the Redmi 9 was spotted on Xiaomi‘s RF Exposure website, the Redmi 10X also reportedly made an appearance on Google Play Console listing. The Redmi 10X has been considered an unusual name since we are having the Redmi 9 series this year. But the rumours have continued to gain ground with the phone said to be a rebranded Redmi Note 9 for the Chinese market. However, the Google Play Console listing suggests otherwise.

The listing shows that the Redmi 10X 4G would bear the codename Merlin and will feature a MediaTek Helio G70 processor instead of the Helio G85 chipset that’s powering the Redmi Note 9. The processor is bundled with a Mali G52 GPU firing up the graphics. The smartphone will also come with 3GB RAM but we expect other options.

This device can easily be confused with the Redmi 9 which is expected to pack a similar specs lineup. However, the presence of an FHD+ resolution of 1080×2340 pixels should do the trip in distinguishing them as separate entities. The device will run on Android 10.

However, we won’t put all our cards on this one since the source isn’t given. So take this with a grain of salt.

Xiaomi is expected to launch the Redmi Note 9 series in India on March 12. The company is yet to confirm the names of the models that would make up the series. There are talks of a Redmi Note 9 Pro Max model but going by precedence, the company is expected to launch the Redmi Note 9 and Redmi Note 9 Pro.  A Xiaomi model believed to be the Redmi Note 9 has appeared on the database of benchmarking app GeekBench.

The device appears as Xiaomi Merlin and from the listing, we can gather that the device will run on Android 10 operating system out of the box. The most interesting part is the processor onboard the device. Although the name wasn’t explicitly stated, the chipset onboard is given as ARM MT6769V/CZ. It has an octa-core architecture and is a MediaTek chipset. We’ll need to draw reference with the Realme C3’s GeekBench listing to confirm this is likely the Helio G70 SoC. The Geekbench single-core and multi-core tests scores of 345 points and 1247 points respectively align with those of the MediaTek Helio G70 onboard the device.

The device is also listed to have 6GB of RAM onboard.
