Karamchand Rameshwar - May 08, 2020

Xiaomi Mi 10 finally arrives in India at a price of Rs. 49,999, which is significantly higher than the price of the same variant in China.

Xiaomi planned to release the Xiaomi Mi 10 in India back in March. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the plan was canceled until now. The handset has announced the phone in the country via a live stream. Even though the brand launched two smartphones in the Mi 10 series, only the vanilla Mi 10 makes its debut in India, while the Mi 10 Pro is unlikely to come to the Indian market. The key highlights of the handset are its 108MP quad rear cameras, Snapdragon 865 SoC, and 90Hz AMOLED display.

Xiaomi Mi 10 Colors — Peach Gold, Coral Green, Twilight Grey. Only the last two are available in India.

Under the hood, it gets the processing power from a Snapdragon 865 chipset, alongside 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128/256GB of UFS 3.0 storage.
