Xiaomi Vice President Manu Kumar Jain has joined the Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G teaser campaign. He posted a video describing the upcoming phone as an “extension” of the Mi 10, Mi 10T, Mi 10T Pro, and even the Mi 10T Lite. That is a great family tree.
Regardless, the Mi 10i has been designed specifically for India and uses a completely new camera sensor – a 108MP camera, as seen in the numerous trailers that have come out recently. The full announcement will be on January 5.

You can see the phone’s quad camera in this teaser video. The two note tags are “108MP AI Camera” and “Built for 5G.” Xiaomi was the first to use a 108 MP sensor, the ISOCELL HMX. However, Jain mentions that it is a new sensor; You could be talking about the HM2, which Samsung introduced in September (the main difference is that it does a 9 in 1 binning instead of 4 in 1 like the HMX).

However, the Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G will use a relatively new chipset: the Snapdragon 750G was also introduced in September and the Mi 10T Lite was the first phone to use it. This explains the complicated family relationships mentioned at the beginning.

But the Mi 10i is not based on the 10T Lite. Clues point to the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G being used as a base. This means a 6.67 ”IPS LCD screen with HDR10 and 120 Hz refresh rate, plus a 4,820 mAh battery with 33W fast wired charging. There could be modifications to that recipe for the Indian market, but we’ll find out in less than a week.
Amazon India has a detailed landing page for the phone, the retail giant will be the exclusive launch partner for the Mi 10i 5G. However, the phone should also be available on Mi.com and in physical stores.
