Redmi 10A was launched in India on Wednesday as the latest affordable model by Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi. The new Redmi phone is the successor to the Redmi 9A, which debuted in the country in 2020.

The phone features up to 64GB of internal storage, rather than the 32GB available on the Redmi 9A. The Redmi 10A competes against the likes of the Tecno Pova Neo, Realme C11 (2021), and Samsung Galaxy M02.
