As per a tweet shared by Mukul Sharma, a well-known tipster reveals that the standard Mi 10 will be launched in India. And, there are increased chances that the Mi 10 Pro could not be launched in the country perhaps due to its pricing.

Notably, Xiaomi Mi 10 has been launched starting from 3999 yuan (approx. Rs. 40,900) and the Mi 10 Pro has been launched for 4999 yuan (approx. Rs. 51,150) onwards. Given the pricing clue revealed by the company executive, we can expect the Mi 10 series smartphones to priced at a premium in India. It is due to the pricing factor that we cannot expect the Pro variant to be launched in the country. Xiaomi might not be ready to launch a smartphone priced above Rs. 50,000 in the country.

Mi 10 Could Be Expensive In India

Earlier today, Xiaomi's Global VP Manu Kumar Jain tweeted that the Mi 10 launch could happen soon in India. In the follow-up tweet, he added that the pricing could be relatively higher than the Chinese pricing due to reasons such as depreciating rupee, direct import, and the recent hike in GST rate.

Whatever it is, the Xiaomi Mi 10 series is expected to compete against the likes of other flagship smartphones that are priced at a premium. And, we need to wait to see how the device is perceived by Xiaomi fans in the country.
