Xiaomi launches feature-rich Mi 10T, 10T Pro 5G in India

After weeks of speculations, Xiaomi on Thursday (October 15) launched the flagship Mi 10T series phones in India.

The new mobiles in two variants- a standard Mi 10T and top-end Mi 10T Pro. They share the same design language and most of the internal hardware but differ in some aspects such as the camera.

Both the Mi 10T series phones flaunt visually appealing metal-and-glass top shell on the back with a premium aluminium alloy frame. On the front, they sport a 6.67-inch Full HD+(2340 × 1080p) TrueColor LCD screen with 144Hz AdaptiveSync refresh rate, DCI-P3 color gamut, peak brightness of 650 nits, Gorilla Glass 5 shield, side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
