A month after the global launch of Xiaomi Mi 10T Series, the Mi 10T was launched in China today under the Redmi brand. It launched as the Redmi K30S & except for the branding, everything is the same as the Mi 10T, from the design to the specs. In China, the price starts at ¥2599, which translates to around ₹28,600 or €327.
As we know already, the Mi 10T launched in the European market at a starting price of €499 & in the Indian market at ₹35,999.

Also, it is worth mentioning that in China, the base variant comes with 8GB RAM & 128GB storage whereas, in Europe & India, the base variant has 6GB RAM & 128GB storage.
There is no change in the design as the Redmi K30S has the same triple camera setup design on the rear & a hole-punch design on the front. The fingerprint scanner is placed on the right side & there is no 3.5mm headphone jack on the phone. In China, the K30S comes in Cosmic Black & Lunar Silver colors.
