The Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite shares many features found in its more expensive sibling. We’re talking about specs that include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G processor; a fingerprint-sensing 3D curved screen with Gorilla Glass 5 and customizable always-on display designs; a 5,260mAh battery that supports fast charging up to 30 watts out of the box; and MIUI 11 based on Android 10.

However, the smartphone’s 6GB/64GB and 8GB/128GB variants are priced at only P16,990 (around $336) and P18,990 ($375), respectively. They will be available on Lazada Philippines starting June 4.

Of course, it’s understandable that some features will have to be downgraded considering the lower price point. The Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite gets a 64-megapixel quad camera on the back instead of a 108-megapixel penta shooter. And its selfie cam is now 16 megapixels instead of 32 megapixels. You can see the complete specs of the unit below.
