Xiaomi could soon launch the Mi 10i as it has been seen in a listing on Geekbench. The Mi 10i is rumored to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G that was announced in November alongside the Redmi Note 9 4G and Redmi Note 9 5G . Interestingly, Xiaomi is already teasing the launch of a new Redmi phone in India but if previous leaks are to go by, that could be the Redmi 9 Power.
The listing on Geekbench mentions the model number of a Xiaomi phone as M2007J17I which lines up with the listing spotted on Google Play Console. The listing also reveals the base clock frequency of the processor as 1.80GHz which is likely the Snapdragon 750G. Having said that, there is no word on the launch of another Redmi phone in India at the moment.
Xiaomi has started teasing the launch of a new Redmi phone that is rumored to be the Redmi 9 Power. As per previous reports, the company may be bringing the Redmi Note 9 4G to India as the Redmi 9 Power, though with a quad-camera setup instead of three cameras. Additionally, the company has also scheduled the launch of its QLED TV in India on December 16.
However, if the Mi 10i does turn out to be the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G in disguise, here is a brief look as to what we can expect.
Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G features a 6.67-inch Full HD + (2400 x 1080 pixels) resolution display with a punch-hole cutout in the center for the selfie camera. The screen supports 120Hz refresh rate and is certified for HDR10 playback. It is also topped with a layer of Gorilla Glass 5 for added protection against drops. It measures 9 millimeters in thickness and weighs 215 grams.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G powered the Redmi Note 9 Pro with 5G support, an octa-core CPU and Adreno 619 GPU. This is paired with upto 8GB RAM and 256GB storage options to choose from. The phone also offers storage expansion by using a microSD card. It runs on Android 10 based MIUI 12.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G has a quad-camera setup on the back in a circular module that consists of a primary 108MP camera with an f / 1.8 aperture, a secondary 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera with 118-degree field-of- view, a 2MP macro camera and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, there is a 16MP selfie camera housed within the notch cutout.
