Redmi 10 reportedly a rebranded version of the Redmi 10C

The Redmi 10 is launching in India next week and a tipster has suggested that the smartphone will be a rebranded Redmi 10C. Images of the retail box of the latter from Nigeria have also surfaced online, suggesting an imminent launch in Africa. The design of the vanilla Redmi 10 has been teased via a dedicated microsite and it appears to be similar to the design of the Redmi 10C — as seen on the retail box. Both the smartphones appear to feature a similar design and placement of the camera module on the rear.

According to tipster Paras Guglani, Redmi 10C launch in Nigeria once the retail box is spotted on an e-commerce platform. Guglani also mentions that the global version of Redmi 10C will be launched in India as Redmi 10. The latter will be launched in India on March 17.

If we compare the images of the Nigerian retail box for Redmi 10C with the Indian variant of Redmi 10 on the microsite, both seem to sport a similar design. The smartphones will feature a dual camera setup on the back in a square-shaped housing. Both will feature a flat display with a waterdrop-style notch, thin bezels on three sides and a thick chin. The two Redmi smartphones are also shown with their power button and volume rockers on the right spine.

Redmi 10 specifications (expected)

According to the image shared by Guglani, the vanilla Redmi 10 will feature a 6.71-inch Dot Drop display. The upcoming smartphone is said to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC — but the microsite lists it as a 6nm Snapdragon SoC — paired with UFS storage. The Redmi 10 will reportedly get a 50-megapixel primary camera on the back, along with a 5-megapixel selfie camera. The phone is also said to feature a 5,000mAh battery with 18W charging support.
