Xiaomi’s Redmi 10 hasn’t launched yet, but we already know its specs

Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi has a new smartphone coming out — the Xiaomi Redmi 10.

The phone is scheduled to launch on Aug. 18, but we already know its detailed specifications thanks to a seemingly premature official announcement post by Xiaomi. The post was later removed, but XDA Developers caught the scoop (and there’s also a cached version of the post here).

The Redmi line of devices typically inherit some traits from Xiaomi’s flagship models, while keeping the price down, and the Redmi 10 will continue in that vein. It has a 6.5-inch, 90Hz display, a MediaTek Helio G88 display, 4/6GB of RAM, 64/128GB of storage, a quad, 50/8/2/2-megapixel rear camera, an 8-megapixel selfie camera, and a 5,000mAh battery with 18W charging and 9W reverse charging.

Other specs of note include a fingerprint sensor on the side, a dual speaker, a 3.5-millimeter headphone jack, and a charger that comes in the box. The phone will run Xiaomi’s MIUI 12.5 software on top of Android 11.

Design-wise, the things that will set the Redmi 10 apart from other smartphones are the fairly big camera bump and the Redmi logo on the back. It will be available in three finishes: Carbon Gray, Pebble White, and Sea Blue.

Xiaomi’s (deleted) announcement post for the Redmi 10 is dated Aug. 18, which is probably the date when the device will officially be announced. There’s no word on pricing, while Xiaomi claims that the Redmi 10 will be available for purchase via Xiaomi’s official sales channels.
