Xiaomi has launched the Redmi Note 10S and the Redmi Watch in India.
The Redmi Note 10S starts at Rs 14,999, while the Redmi Watch comes in at Rs 3,999.
Xiaomi has launched the Redmi 10S in India after previously unveiling the phone for global markets. The device expands the existing Redmi Note 10 lineup in the country which includes the Redmi Note 10, Note 10 Pro, and Note 10 Pro Max.
The latest smartphone slots somewhere between the Redmi Note 10 and the Pro variant. It comes with a 6.43-inch AMOLED FHD+ display. However, don’t expect the Note 10 Pro’s fast 120Hz refresh rate here. You’ll get the standard 60Hz refresh rate on the Redmi Note 10S, the same as the vanilla Redmi Note 10.

Xiaomi Mi QLED TV 75 review: Great for movies, not so much for gaming Dolby Vision support Smart home integration is glitchy Remote could be better built Major issues with next-gen consoles like PS5
Bottom Line
The Mi QLED TV 75 is a remarkable feat for Xiaomi. Once again the brand is democratizing the television market by drastically reducing the barrier to entry to QLED panels in the large screen TV segment. The Mi QLED TV 75 delivers the goods if all you want is a really good screen to watch movies on. However, if gaming is a priority, the Mi QLED 75 wouldn t be my first recommendation owing to a range of issues with both connectivity, and the lack of future-proofing.
