If you are in the market for good spec-ed smartphone that won’t break the bank, then there’s no doubt that Redmi, Xiaomi’s budget sub brand, is the go-to brand. Speaking of Redmi… last week Xiaomi revealed the new Redmi Note 10 Series Smartphone.
Wait. Didn’t we just saw the launch of Redmi Note 9 last November? Well, we certainly did, but that did not actually see global launch other than a lone 9T, I believe. Has it got to do with the recent blacklisting of the brand in the U.S.? Perhaps.
