Today, Xiaomi hosted an online event to launch the much-anticipated Mi 10i in India. It is the fourth device in the Mi 10 series to launch in India. Mi 10i has been promoted as an India-exclusive device with the company claiming to have designed and customized the device specifically for the country. However, the phone is likely to launch in Nepal as well. So, let’s take a look at the specs, features, expected price, and availability of Xiaomi Mi 10i in Nepal. 

Xiaomi Mi 10i Overview:

Before the launch, the device was said to be an extension of the Mi 10T Lite. However, the device is more of a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G that was launched earlier in China. The main difference between the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G and the Mi 10T Lite is the primary camera. Mi 10i will feature a 108MP camera sensor that was first used in the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G. 

Design and Display 

Moving on, Xiaomi Mi 10i features a 6.67-inch IPS LCD panel with an FHD resolution. It has a center-placed punch-hole cutout for the 16MP front-facing camera. The screen is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The six-interval adaptive sync display supports a variable refresh rate of 30-120Hz. Similarly, the display is compatible with HDR 10 and HDR10+. The device features a 360-degree ambient light sensor and the brightness level can be scaled down to just 1 nit.

Xiaomi Mi 10i Camera Setup

The quad-camera setup will be led by the 108MP Samsung HM2 sensor. The new sensor from Samsung uses 9-in-1 pixel binning (nona-binning) and was introduced during the launch of the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G. The sensor is slimmer than its predecessor and results in a 10% smaller camera bump. Iis accompanied by an 8MP ultrawide sensor, a 2MP macro sensor, and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, there is a 16MP primary camera. 

Rest of the specs

Moving on, Mi 10i will feature a 4,820mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging. The 33W charger can take the phone from 0 to 100% in just 58 minutes. Thankfully, the charger is shipped with the box. Xiaomi also claims the new vibration motor in the Mi 10i will improve the user experience. There is a physical fingerprint sensor on the side of the device.
