It was announced during the live stream that the Mi Note 10 Lite will be going on sale starting mid-May. According to Xiaomi Malaysia, the local pricing and availability details will be announced at a later date.

As a comparison, the current Mi Note 10 with 6GB RAM + 128GB storage was officially launched in Malaysia at RM2,099. Meanwhile, the Mi Note 10 Pro with 8GB RAM + 256GB storage version is going for RM2,499.

Hardware Specs

Although it carries the “Lite” branding, the Mi Note 10 Lite still retains a lot of flagship features from the more expensive variants. It still features a dual-curved 6.47″ AMOLED screen that pushes a Full HD+ resolution along with in-display fingerprint sensor. Under the hood, it also runs on an upper-mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G processor. It is equipped with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.1 storage which is non-expandable.

Instead of a penta-camera setup with a 108MP main camera, the Lite version settles for a quad-camera array that has dual-LED flash and a dual soft-light. The device gets a 64MP main camera that uses a Sony IMX686 sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 5MP depth sensor and a 2MP macro-camera. For selfies, it has a 16MP front camera that sits on a tiny notch.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with a telephoto camera. You can check out the comparison versus the Mi Note 10 below:

It can shoot 4K 30fps videos and also 960fps slow-mo in 720p. The device also comes with NFC support along with an IR blaster and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Also retained is a huge 5,260mAh battery and it also supports 30W fast charging via USB-C. With the bundled 30W fast charger, Xiaomi says you can get a full charge in just 64 minutes.
