Redmi 10 Prime was launched in India on Friday as Xiaomi's newest model in the Redmi series.

It brings the hole-punch display design, upgraded quad rear camera setup with a 50-megapixel primary sensor, and MediaTek Helio G88 SoC. The Redmi 10 Prime also comes with a 90Hz display and dual stereo speakers to offer an upgraded experience over the last year model. The new smartphone also appears to be a slightly tweaked version of the Redmi 10 that Xiaomi launched globally last month.
