Xiaomi has become the latest company to introduce an affordable smartphone with 5G in Nigeria, launching the Redmi Note 10 5G on Monday.
The Marketing Director of the company, Mr. Somoye Habeeb said Xiaomi story has been an interesting one in Nigeria.
“With a grand total of 25 exceptional devices launched in two years of operations in Nigeria and the massive success of the Redmi Notes line, it’s been a journey of smiles and satisfaction from lots of Nigerians.

“From the legendary Redmi Note 7 to the Redmi Note 10 series, Xiaomi has offered flagship level experience to Nigerians like unseen before.
“Based on that success, the Redmi Note 10 line-up is its largest thus far and today we welcome the final piece of the jigsaw— Redmi Note 10 5G. Now, we are fully ready to #ChallengeOurBoundaries,” he said.
Habeeb added that Redmi Note 10 5G uses the MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor and 5G modem, which helps keep the cost down while still offering plenty of performance and functionality.
“The Redmi Note 10 5G has a similar design to the Xiaomi Mi 11, with a stepped, eye-catching camera module on the back of the phone, and it comes in several colours, including green and blue.
“The camera module doesn’t contain any surprises though and is equipped with a 48-megapixel main camera and a pair of 2MP cameras for macro and depth images.
“On the front is a 6.5-inch screen with a 90Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling, and because it has an adaptive rate it shouldn’t drain the battery too quickly either.
“The Redmi Note 10 5G has a big 5,000mAh battery inside anyway, with 18W fast charging,” he said.
He said other features include a 3.5mm headphone jack, a fingerprint sensor set in the power button on the side of the phone, NFC for mobile payments, and an 8MP selfie camera in a hole-punch cutout at the top of the screen.
He added that it comes in two configurations — a 64GB version with 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB version with 4GB of RAM.
