Mi 10i to be customized for Indian market with new features
Mi 10i could use 108MP quad cameras
Xiaomi Mi 10i has been confirmed to launch on January 5 in India as the latest entrant in the Mi 10 lineup. The company had been teasing about the launch of a new smartphone with 108MP cameras from the past few weeks now and it is now confirmed that the phone set to launch on January 5 is the Mi 10i.
Xiaomi released a teaser video featuring Manu Kumar Jain, Global VP and MD who confirmed the name of the upcoming phone. He also revealed that the Mi 10i has been customized for the Indian market and is an extension of the Mi 10T Lite that was launched globally back in September. The Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro subsequently made their way to India but the Mi 10T Lite was a no-show.

Xiaomi also launched the Mi 10T Lite with an upgraded camera sensor in China as the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G, so expect all three phones to have a lot in common. The company has teased the presence of 108MP camera on the Mi 10i just like the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G.
According to a previous leak, the Mi 10i could have 108MP quad cameras, 120Hz refresh rate display and Snapdragon 750G under the hood. These details corroborate with the specifications of both the Mi 10T Lite and Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G. Xiaomi could price the Mi 10i under Rs 20,000 as the phone goes up against the likes of the Moto G 5G which was launched with Snapdragon 750G at Rs 20,999.
