Xiaomi has officially launched the Xiaomi Redmi 10C 50MP budget smartphone, the newest addition to the Redmi 10 series and the direct successor to the Redmi 9C from last year. Featuring a Waterdrop Notch display, a textured plastic back panel, and a dual rear camera headlined by a 50-megapixel primary sensor, the Redmi 10C punches well above its price bracket.
Xiaomi Redmi 10C 50MP Camera and Display
The star attraction of the Redmi 10C is its dual rear camera setup with LED flash. The primary shooter is a 50-megapixel lens paired with a 2-megapixel depth sensor, giving users sharper detail and better portrait shots than you would expect at this price. For selfies, a 5-megapixel front camera sits inside the Waterdrop Notch cutout.
The display is a 6.71-inch LCD panel with a Waterdrop Notch design. Xiaomi has not yet confirmed whether the resolution is HD+ or FHD+, but the large screen size makes it ideal for streaming content and browsing. The phone ships with MIUI 13 built on top of Android 11, delivering a feature-rich software experience straight out of the box.
Performance, Battery, and Storage
Under the hood, the Redmi 10C is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chipset paired with 4GB LPDDR4x RAM. This octa-core processor is built on a 6nm process and handles everyday multitasking, social media, and casual gaming without breaking a sweat.
Storage options include 64GB and 128GB variants, and both configurations include a microSD card slot so you can expand storage further. A 5,000mAh battery keeps the lights on through a full day of heavy use, backed by 10W charging support.
The back panel sports a fingerprint scanner for quick biometric unlocking. The phone's plastic back features a distinct texture design that improves grip while keeping the overall weight low.
