Mi Note 10 Lite Tipped to Launch in India as Mi 10i

Mi Note 10 Lite is rumoured to launch in India as Mi 10i. The smartphone was launched in the European markets in late April as a watered-down version of the Mi Note 10. It comes with a 3D curved AMOLED display and is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G SoC. The Mi Note 10 Lite also comes with 30W fast charging support and features quad rear cameras. Notably, the Mi Note 10 Lite is the third phone in the series after the Mi Note 10 and Mi Note 10 Pro.

A tipster who goes by pseudonym the_tech_guy on Twitter has posted a screenshot showing a code that suggests the India version of the Mi Note 10 Lite as the Mi 10i. It also gives a hint at its codename as “tocoin”.
