Recently, Redmi product director Wang Teng and Redmi brand general manager Lu Weibing have hinted that a new Redmi K30 series new machine will be released this month. If nothing accidental, it is going to be the Chinese version of the Xiaomi Mi 10T. Thus, it will come with a Snapdragon 865 processor and a price tag of 2000-3000 yuan ($296 – $445). In addition, the thousand-yuan Redmi Note 10 series 5G new products are also expected to come in the near future. Today, we have got some interesting news concerning the latter.
According to a well-known Weibo blogger, there will be two new models of the Redmi Note 10 series. They are expected to be named the Redmi Note 10 and the Redmi Note 10 Pro. The specifications of the two have also been almost completely disclosed.
Redmi Note 10 Pro
The Redmi Note 10 Pro should come with Qualcomm’s latest mid-range 5G chip Snapdragon 750G. At the same time, this handset will sport a 6.67-inch 120Hz LCD single-hole screen (the hole is in the center.). On the opposite side, we will find a 108MP main lens, a 13MP super wide-angle lens, a 5MP telephoto lens and a macro lens. The built-in battery will have a 5000mAh capacity and support 33W fast charging.
Gizchina News of the week
Redmi Note 10
As the source disclosed, the mt6853v/tnza processor on the Redmi Note 10 has the same code name as the Realme X7 processor released a while ago. So we guess this is going to be the MediaTek Dimensity 800U chip. The latter is based on TSMC’s 7nm process, uses two A76 cores clocked at 2.4GHz and six A55 cores clocked at 2.0GHz. Also, it comes with an integrated 5G modem that supports NSA/SA dual-mode 5G baseband.
The overall design, screen, and fast charging of the Redmi Note 10 are basically the same as the Pro version. The main difference is that the front camera has been moved to the upper left corner of the screen. Plus, the rear camera has been replaced with a 48-megapixel sensor. At last, there should be not more telephoto lens.
After entering the 5G era, can the Redmi Note series, which is considered to be a cost-effective thousand-yuan phone, continue to price of 999 yuan ($148)?
Although the camera specs on the higher end variant is definitely better, as far as the performance is concerned, I would go with the MediaTek Dimensity powered lower variant. More reliable and also easy on the pocket.
