The world’s No. 3 smartphone vendor will introduce a Redmi phone to the Philippine market.

Xiaomi’s Redmi 10C, which debuted in Nigeria in March, will become available in the country starting tomorrow, April 22, adding to a growing list of Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 handsets locally. The base model with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage is priced at P6,299 (roughly $120). The 4GB + 128GB version, on the other hand, costs P7,299 ($139). And both will be released online — on Shopee and Lazada — and offline, at authorized stores nationwide.

So, how is it different from the MediaTek Helio G35-based Redmi 9C? For one, the Redmi 10C’s screen is bigger than its predecessor’s, coming in at 6.71 inches. The new model also features a 50-megapixel triple camera on the back and a bigger camera module that houses a fingerprint sensor. The 5,000mAh battery now supports up to 18 watts of charging. And it’s already running MIUI 13 based on Android 11.

We heard the Redmi 10C is not the only entry-level phone Xiaomi Philippines is rolling out this quarter. Tip: Expect another member of the number series to pop up soon.
