Xiaomi Mi 10 with Snapdragon 865 Launched in India starting at Rs 49,999

Xiaomi has today launched three new products in the Indian market, which include the Mi 10, Mi Box, and Mi True Wireless Earphones 2. While the Mi 10 was launched alongside the Mi 10 Pro in China earlier this year, and it was set for an India launch in the following month, the indefinite extension of lockdown due to the coronavirus outbreak caused the company to defer the announcement. But now that it’s unveiled, this makes it the first Xiaomi smartphone in India to come with 5G capabilities. Let’s find out more about the Mi 10 in detail.
