Xiaomi has just presented its latest cheap mobile, the Xiaomi Redmi 10C, which comes as a renewal of the Redmi 9C from a couple of years ago. It is a somewhat more ambitious terminal in its specification sheet, in exchange for having a launch price, a priori, higher.
The Xiaomi Redmi 10C makes a significant leap in performance from the modest Helio G35 of the previous generation to the Snapdragon 680. The camera also comes out ahead in megapixels, at the cost of losing a lens.
This is how Xiaomi makes money – they lure you in and suck you in

A cheap cell phone with fingerprints in an unusual place
We have a new cheap mobile from Xiaomi and destined to be one of the cheaper under your brand, in the absence of us knowing the successor of the Redmi 9A in the future. In this generation it goes from being a mobile “with just enough, for those who do not demand much” to be a normal mobile, almost stepping on the mid-range.
It is a mobile with a large diagonal screen, with a 6.71-inch LCD panel which is crowned by a drop-shaped notch. At the moment we do not know if the screen has HD + or Full HD + resolution, as the company has not revealed the full specification sheet.
What we do know is that it has Snapdragon 680one of the latest 4G processors released by Qualcomm, very recent. That is, 6 nanometers and eight Kryo 265 cores running at 2.4 GHz, compared to 12 nanometers running at up to 2.3 GHz on the previous generation Helio G35. The amount of memory and storage also increases, starting here with 4 GB of RAM and with 64 or 128 GB of storage to match.
The Xiaomi Redmi 10C mounts a 50 megapixel rear camera with 2 megapixel secondary sensor. Interestingly, the fingerprint sensor is integrated into the camera module itself, a rather unusual decision these days.
This time we have again a large capacity battery, 5,000mAh, which should be complemented by fast charging, although we do not have the exact data. The terminal is launched with MIUI 13 based on Android 11.
