Mi Note 10 Series Officially Launched: Will Xiaomi Bring Them to India to Counter Realme X2 Phones

As the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro was launched in China on Tuesday, today the Chinese manufacturer has launched the Mi Note 10 and the Mi Note 10 Pro in Spain today which are basically the rebranded versions of the Mi CC9 Pro. The smartphones are of prime importance for Xiaomi and for the consumers as well. The highlights of these new smartphones by Xiaomi include the Snapdragon 730G processor, which has been seen on very few phones right now and boasts of gaming capabilities. Apart from this, the phone is also the first one to come with a 108MP camera which is part of a penta-camera setup. The Mi Note 10 Pro is differentiated from the Mi Note 10 by the 8P lens, 8GB RAM, and 256GB storage.

Xiaomi Mi Note 10 and Mi Note 10 Pro Specifications

It is crucial to note that the Mi Note 10 and the Mi Note 10 Pro are a little different given their Pro tag or the lack thereof. While the Mi Note 10 comes with a 7P lens, the Mi Note 10 Pro goes a step ahead to sport an 8P lens. Another difference between the two variants is of the RAM and storage since the Mi Note 10 Pro comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage option which is not available with the Mi Note 10. Both of these devices come with a waterdrop notch on the front which is placed on the 6.47-inch curved full-HD+ display rendering a resolution of 1080×2340 pixels. This display on the Mi Note 10 and Mi Note 10 Pro is an OLED one, and it comes with a pixel density of 398ppi.

Imminent Competition for Xiaomi

In other news, Realme will be launching the Realme X2 and Realme X2 Pro smartphones in India on November 20. The Realme X2 or the Realme XT 730G is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G SoC similar to the Mi Note 10 smartphone. But it does not feature any 108MP penta-camera setup, and it’s aimed at the people who’re looking for a mid-range gaming phone. Right now, Xiaomi India did not confirm whether it’s bringing the Mi Note 10 series to the Indian market, but we hope the company brings these two phones to conquer the upper mid-range segment.
