Though Xiaomi may have canceled the India launch of its Mi 10 flagship smartphone, the global launch of the new devices went ahead as planned. The company launched the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro in Europe today, at a starting price of 799 euros. But, there was a surprise in tow and it’s one that no one would have expected. Xiaomi also took the wraps off a mid-range 5G smartphone – the Mi 10 Lite at the event today.
On stage at the event, Xiaomi started off by saying that Mi 10 Lite is aimed at making 5G technology a lot more accessible to the masses globally. The device boasts a glass sandwich design, weighing just 192 grams and boasting a rectangular quad-camera setup on the rear.
Mi 10 Lite 5G moves past the vertical camera design and includes a rectangular camera module, pretty similar to what we saw on the Redmi Note 9 Pro and Note 9 Pro Max earlier this month. This camera system includes a 48MP primary camera, coupled with an ultra-wide camera, a macro camera, and a depth sensor.
Mi 10 Lite 5G has been priced at 349 euros (around Rs. 28,900) for the 6GB+64GB base variant whereas the 6GB+128GB variant costs 399 euros (around Rs. 32,900) in Europe.
