Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G is the first phone for the year 2021. This also marks Xiaomi's comeback to the sub 30,000 space after two long years. Previously, the company had launched the Redmi K20 series back in 2019. Staying true to its promise, the company unveiled the Mi 10i in India on January 5 - thereby completing the Mi 10 family in India.
The Xiaomi Mi 10i is basically a rebadged Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G from China, which in turn is the Mi 10T Lite but with an upgraded primary camera and made for India requirements. The 'i' in the moniker stands for India.
The launch of Xiaomi Mi 10i also makes it the most affordable device in Xiaomi’s flagship lineup, which consisted of the Mi 10 and the Mi 10T series. The big talking point is the inclusion of the 108MP image sensor which also marks the debut of the Samsung HM2 sensor in India. This is also the cheapest phone in India to sport a 108MP camera. Another highlight of the device is the Snapdragon 750G chipset which is only the second device in India to feature after the Moto G 5G.
While everyone was expecting pricing to be around Rs 30,000, Xiaomi impressed everyone with the pricing. The Mi 10i starts at Rs 20,999 and the top variant costs Rs 23,999. It will compete with the likes of the OnePlus Nord, the Samsung Galaxy M51 and the Realme X3 series in India.
