Last week, Xiaomi announced the company’s next-generation Redmi Note 10 series smartphones in the Chinese market which include the vanilla Redmi Note 10 5G, as well as a higher-end Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G models.
Now, the company has confirmed that it had sold more than 500,000 units of the Redmi Note 10 series devices in just an hour into it’s debut sale. If you do the math, this equates to an average of around 8300 units being sold in each minute during the first hour of it’s debut sale.
As usual, we aren’t surprised at all by the impressive sales figure given how attractive the Redmi Note 10 series devices were priced in the Chinese market. For those who’d missed out, the Redmi Note 10 5G carries a starting price of just 999 Yuan (US$156), while the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G starts at 1,499 Yuan (US$234).
Although the Redmi Note 10 5G is the same model that was launched in the global market earlier on, but the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G is actually an entirely new model.
Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G Specifications
The Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G features a 6.6” LCD display that comes with a central hole-punch cutout which brings along a 16 megapixels selfie camera. The front display offers a FHD+ screen resolution, smooth 120Hz refresh rate, as well as support for DCI-P3 color gamut. To sweeten the deal, Xiaomi has also added a layer of Gorilla Victus atop.
On the flip-side, the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G sports a rectangular camera module that features a triple-camera system lead by a 64 megapixels main camera alongside an 8 megapixels ultra-wide camera and a 2 megapixels macro camera.
Under the hood, the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 1100 chipset which is paired with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB onboard storage in the memory department. On top of that, it also comes with an advance liquid-cooling vapour chamber to keep the phone cool during prolonged gaming.
Similarly, it’s also fitted with a respectable 5,000mAh battery which carries support for 67W fast-charging support. Last but not the least, the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G also comes with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, NFC and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity support, as well as MIUI 12.5 (based on Android 11).
