Xiaomi, which is in its 10th year of existence has recently added two new handsets to its repertoire to mark the occasion. The new handsets- both high-end smartphones – are the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra, and the Redmi K30 Ultra. Both these handsets are currently only available in China. Xiaomi is yet to make a formal announcement talking about a possible international (and India) launch. Without further delay, let us take a close look at the specifications and features of these handsets.

Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra: Specifications, features

The Xiaomi MI 10 Ultra is an upgraded variant of the Mi 10/Mi 10 Pro which is already on sale in several markets across the globe – including India.

With the Mi 10 Ultra, Xiaomi has also managed to pip OPPO to bring the first-ever smartphone to feature 120W fast charging. According to the company, the Mi 10 Ultra can go from 0 to 41% in just 5 minutes. There is support for super-fast wireless charging as well (50W) which makes even the wireless charging solution faster than several wired fast charging solutions on offer.
