The Redmi 10 with Same Chipset as its Predecessor in 2022
Xiaomi has a majority stake in Redmi, a subsidiary of the Chinese electronics business. It was initially unveiled in July 2013 as a low-cost smartphone line, and it became a distinct sub-brand of Xiaomi in 2019. It produces entry-level and mid-range handsets, whereas Xiaomi itself manufactures upper-range and flagship Mi phones and other products. Like the Redmi series, Mi phones run Android with Xiaomi’s MIUI user interface on top. The Redmi lineup is split into three categories: the entry-level Redmi, the mid-range Redmi Note, and the top-of-the-line Redmi K.
In addition, the unrelated Mi A Android One series, although being a member of the Xiaomi Mi lineup’s upper-range, is similarly positioned in a comparable market niche to Redmi smartphones despite being unconnected to Redmi devices. Compared to other Xiaomi smartphones, the most major distinction between them is that they employ less-expensive components, making them more affordable while maintaining better features. According to a study published in August 2014 by The Wall Street Journal, Xiaomi had a market share of 4 percent of smartphone shipping rankings in China during the second quarter of the 2014 fiscal year. Sales of the Redmi smartphone were cited as a contributing cause of the shipping rankings increase.
Xiaomi’s Smartphones
Xiaomi announced the Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro smartphones in February 2018. They are the company’s first smartphones that have face recognition technology. Xiaomi launched the Redmi S2 smartphone in May of this year. In addition, Xiaomi debuted the Redmi 6, 6A, and 6 Pro smartphones in June. The Redmi 6 Pro is the first phone in the Redmi series to include a notch, similar to the one seen on the iPhone X, and a screen with a 19:9 aspect ratio. Xiaomi announced the Redmi Note 6 Pro in September of this year. It is the first phone in the Redmi series to be equipped with four cameras (two on the front and two on the back), and it is made of 6000 class aluminum, making it the most durable phone in the series.
Xiaomi officially started in January 2019, and Redmi will be a separate sub-brand from the company’s leading brand, Xiaomi. Earlier this month, Redmi announced the Redmi Note 7 and Redmi Note 7 Pro, the first phones in the Redmi series to include a rear camera with a resolution of 48 megapixels. The Samsung GM1 image sensor is used in the Note 7, while the Sony IMX586 48MP image sensor is used in the Note 7 Pro. Snapdragon 660 Octa-Core Processor (2.2GHz) powers the Note 7, while the Snapdragon 675 Octa-Core Processor (2.0GHz) powers the Note 7 Pro. Both processors are manufactured at 11 nm, with the Note 7 smaller than the two. The Note 7 is available with three different RAM configurations: 3GB RAM with 32GB storage, 4GB RAM with 64GB storage, and 6GB RAM with 64GB storage with file transfer features. It sports a battery with a capacity of 4,000mAh and Quick Charge 4.0 technology. The Redmi Note 7 series of smartphones is one of the best-selling Redmi phones ever, with more than 20 million units sold in the first seven months after its release.
Redmi’s first step into the premium smartphone market with the Redmi K20 and K20 Pro (also known as the Xiaomi Mi 9T). The phone, along with the Redmi 7A, was unveiled in China on May 28, 2017. Powered by the top Snapdragon 855 CPU, the K20 Pro outperforms the K20 powered by the recently introduced Snapdragon 730 processor, while the Redmi 7A is a less priced phone with the Snapdragon 439 engine. In August, Xiaomi debuted the Redmi Note 8 and Redmi Note 8 Pro, and then in October, the company unveiled the Redmi 8 and Redmi 8A. When Redmi first appeared on the scene as a sub-brand of Xiaomi, it adopted the same dual-core smartphone and Internet of Things strategy as Xiaomi and expanded into a variety of product categories such as smart TVs and laptop PCs. In addition, Xiaomi has also made forays into the world of home appliances, such as washing machines, and consumer goods, such as luggage.
On January 7, Redmi announced the Redmi K30 5G, which was the company’s first 5G device to hit the market and is now available in the market. The K30 is powered by Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 765G, an Octa-Core processor with a 2.4 GHz clock speed. In addition, the K30 is equipped with a punch-hole camera cutout on the LCD panel with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The Redmi Note 9 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max smartphones were launched in India in March by Redmi. Both handsets are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G, an Octa-core processor with a clock speed of 2.2 GHz. The Redmi Note 9 Pro has a 48MP quad-camera arrangement on the back and supports 18W fast charging, while the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max has a 64MP quad-camera setup on the back and supports 33W fast charging. As part of the same month, Redmi brought the Redmi Note 9S to the worldwide market, a rebranded version of the Indian Redmi Note 9 Pro, with similar design and features to the former. In May, Redmi launched the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max in India, which was then renamed the Redmi Note 9 Pro in the worldwide market. Both phones have the same design and specs as the previous model.
The Redmi K30 Pro was officially introduced on March 24 by Redmi. The Redmi K30 Pro is equipped with a Sony IMX686 64-megapixel camera. The K30 Pro is powered by Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 865 processor, which has an Octa-Core clock speed of 2.84 GHz. Among the memory configurations offered for the Redmi K30 Pro are 6GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB UFS 3.0 storage, 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB UFS 3.1 storage, and 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage, respectively. With the introduction of the enormous 98" Redmi TV MAX at a price of RMB 19,999, Redmi is undercutting the market for large-screen LCD televisions.
Redmi introduced the Redmi 10X Series on May 26, including the Redmi 10X Pro 5G, Redmi 10X 5G, and Redmi 10X 4G smartphones. The MediaTek Dimensity 820, a 7 nm Octa-core processor clocked at 2.6 GHz, is included in the Redmi 10X Pro 5G and the Redmi 10X 5G. In addition, the MediaTek Helio G85 processor, clocked at 2.4 GHz, is used in the Redmi 10X 4G smartphone. To go hand in hand with the release of the Redmi 10X Series, Redmi also unveiled the Redmi TV X-series, which provides big-screen television at an affordable price. In addition, Redmi also introduced a new line of laptop PCs powered by AMD Ryzen processors on the same day.
The Redmi 10 with Same Chipset
Xiaomi is set to re-release the Redmi 10; however, we’re not completely clear what will be different for the 2022 version of the smartphone. Unconfirmed information from a few months ago stated that it would feature the same camera configuration as the original model, with a 50 MP primary camera and an 8 MP ultra-wide lens. The phone, identified as 21121119VL, has been added to the Geekbench database. A MediaTek MT6769H processor powers it. According to the information available, this looks to be the identical Helio G88 seen in the 2021 model. The benchmark score verifies this since both the single-core and multi-core scores are within a few points of what we obtained when we assessed the system before.
It is still running Android 11; however, to be fair, the benchmark does not specify which version of MIUI the phone uses (MIUI 13 can be based on either Android 11 or 12). Also, the 4 GB RAM capacity does not augur well for future memory upgrades since this is the amount that came standard with the original version. According to EU certifications obtained a few months ago, the phone will contain a 4,900 mAh battery and will be shipped with a 22.5W charger included in the package. As previously said, the Redmi 10 can only charge at 18W, and we believe the Redmi 2022 will be the same; hence, Xiaomi is providing you with a somewhat more powerful charger that you can use for your other devices as well.
We’ll have to wait for a more in-depth leak before we can figure out what the Redmi 10 (2022) is all about. In India, it was expected to debut with the Xiaomi 11T smartphones in January. That did not happen. It may be holding out for the Redmi 10A, which was also just tested by Geekbench (that is a lower-end model with only a Helio G25 chip).
