To recall, late last month, the Mi 10i with model number M2007J17I and codename 'gauguininpro' was spotted on the Google Supported Devices list.

As for the specifications, the Xiaomi Mi 10i is expected to come with the same design and specifications as the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G.

The Mi 10i is expected to feature a 6.67 FHD punch-hole display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G 5G processor paired with 6GB / 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.

The quad-camera array at the back will incorporate a 108-megapixel main sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens with 118-degree FOV, a 2-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. For selfies, there could be a 16-megapixel snapper.

The Xiaomi Mi 10i is likely to be fuelled by a 4,820mAh battery with USB Type-C 33W fast-charging.
