Mi 10 5G price in India starts at Rs. 49,999 for the base 8GB RAM + 128GB storage configuration.
Mi 10 has been officially launched in India after some anticipation and delays — mainly due to the coronavirus lockdown in the country. The new Mi-series flagship has debuted in the Indian market nearly three months after its arrival in China. Also, the Mi 10 5G is the first premium smartphone with the company’s Mi branding to reach India after the Mi 5 that was launched in the country back in April 2016. The Xiaomi Mi 10 comes in two storage models and has two different colour options to choose from. The smartphone is also powered by the top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC.
