Xiaomi has launched the Mi 10, it’s flagship 5G smartphone alongside the Mi Box and Mi True Wireless Earbuds 2 in India. The company hasn’t been successful in grabbing a piece of the premium smartphone segment yet, a slab that’s been hugely dominated by OnePlus and likes. So, after the Mi Mix 2 in 2017, Xiaomi is having another go at the premium flagship segment with the Mi 10 which is their most advanced phone till date, going up against the likes of Samsung Galaxy S20 series and OnePlus 8 series, to name a few.
The Mi 10 was earlier scheduled to launch on March 31 but due to the Coronavirus outbreak and the subsequent nation-wide lockdown, the launch was deferred to a later date. Now that the Indian government has eased the restrictions in Green and Orange zones, the company is coming out with the Mi 10 and other accessories along with the Mi Box. Let’s take a brief look at the specifications, prices and availability of the Xiaomi Mi 10 in India.

HDFC bank cardholders are also eligible for Rs 3,000 cashback on purchase of Mi 10 and people who pre-order the phone will also get the Mi wireless charger for free.
