Two of the premium models in the Xiaomi phone series that’s meant to “power your creativity” are official in the Philippines.

Launched globally on September 30, the Xiaomi Mi 10T and Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro have been announced for the local market, with availability scheduled for tomorrow, October 16, on Lazada Philippines.

The regular Mi 10T with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage is priced at P19,990 (around $410 converted) while the 8GB/128GB model costs P20,990 ($431). The 8GB/256GB Pro variant, on the other hand, is selling for P24,990 ($513). Check out the images below for the release details.

The Xiaomi Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro are almost similar. They both share the same 6.67-inch LCD display with a refresh rate of 144Hz. That’s one of the highest in the industry, with the ASUS ROG Phone 3, Lenovo Legion Phone Duel, and Nubia Red Magic 5S boasting a 144Hz panel, too.

The two handsets are also 5G-ready, thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chips they use, and long-lasting, courtesy of a 5,000mAh battery that supports 33 watts of fast charging. They have a 20-megapixel selfie camera, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and Android 10.

Their difference besides the memory configuration? The Mi 10T Pro, as the company says, “continues Xiaomi’s ultra-high resolution legacy with OIS and 8K video support.” The main sensor is 108 megapixels while the one on the Mi 10T is 64 megapixels. However, their respective primary sensors are assisted by a 13-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 5-megapixel macro camera.

What about the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite, which was launched alongside the two smartphones on the international stage? There’s no update from the brand yet, but our guess is it will become official in the Philippines in time for the November 11 or 11.11 sale events.
