The Xiaomi Mi 10 lineup has been expanded. The Chinese manufacturer decided to add a budget model with 5G support to the more expensive models. It is about the Xiaomi Mi 10i, which will cost the future owner less than $300. An interesting point is that the manufacturer used most components from more expensive gadgets. In fact, the budget segment now features a smartphone with very attractive specifications.
Xiaomi Mi 10i cheaper than $300
All Xiaomi smartphones in the high-price segment (Xiaomi Mi 10, Pro, Ultra, T, and Mi 10T Pro) are built on the Snapdragon 865 platform. But the Xiaomi Mi 10i uses a cut-down Snapdragon 750G chip. If the buyer purchases the smartphone for work rather than gaming, they won’t notice the difference. They will even benefit more in terms of battery life.

With such interesting specifications and price, the Xiaomi Mi 10i smartphone will send many of its competitors’ devices into retirement. Moreover, with a simple click, it will remove more expensive models from display shelves. Such as Huawei Nova 8 SE and HUAWEI nova 5T. These are considered the bestsellers of 2020 worldwide. It is hoped that Xiaomi’s 10th models are assembled more reliably than the 9s, which are of unknown origin.
