Redmi 10X & Redmi 10X Pro are two new smartphones from Xiaomi. But unlike its predecessors, these two phones are now in the mid-range segment, not budget.

Today, Xiaomi's sub-brand Redmi has officially launched a brand-new Redmi 10 series, including Redmi 10X and Redmi 10X Pro. Instead of using Qualcomm chips, the new Redmi duo is powered by MediaTek's ultra-high-performance mid-range chips that support the next-gen 5G network. They are also the most affordable 5G smartphones available in the market. Besides these two smartphones, Redmi also launched another Redmi 10X 4G version sold separately in the domestic market.
