Xiaomi currently has no plans to launch the Mi 10 Ultra or its transparent OLED TV globally

Posted on by Nadeem Sarwar

During its special 10th-anniversary launch event yesterday, Xiaomi launched the spec-heavy Mi 10 Ultra flagship smartphone and a transparent OLED TV as well. Both the devices even went up for pre-order in China soon after, but details about their availability outside Xiaomi’s home market are still under the wraps. Well, there is some bad news.

Xiaomi currently has no plans to bring the two new devices it launched yesterday to the international market, at least for now. The announcement was made by Daniel D – global spokesperson and senior product marketing manager at Xiaomi – via a tweet.

“Lots of questions coming in about yesterday’s @xiaomi launch, #1 being whether we’ll be launching these incredible products across our global markets. For the moment, we don’t have plans for official global channels, but stay tuned for future news!” Daniel tweeted. However, things might change if the company sees a demand high enough to launch the two devices internationally.

Xiaomi held a special launch event today during which the company unveiled an absolutely bonkers-on-specs flagship called the Mi 10 Ultra. The device, as the ‘Ultra’ in its name makes it abundantly clear, is loaded to the brim with top-of-the-line hardware and some impressive features to go with it.

You get a curved 6.67-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, which is kept lit by a 4,500mAh battery that supports a super impressive 120W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging. At the heart is the Snapdragon 865 SoC paired with an overkill 16GB of RAM and 512GB of onboard storage.

There is an optically stabilized 48MP camera at the back that can capture 8K videos at 24fps, 4K videos at 60fps and slo-mo 1080p videos at 960fps frame rate. The 48MP telephoto lens can provide an impressive 10x optical and 120x digital zoom output. It is accompanied by a 20MP wide-angle camera and a 12MP portrait camera. Selfies and video calls are handled by a 20MP snapper that is backed by Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS).

Mi 10 Ultra price & availability

The Mi 10 Ultra starts at CNY 5299 (~ $762 / Rs. 57,000) and is currently up for pre-orders in China, but details about its international availability have not yet been revealed. The phone is up for grabs in a trio of colors – Obsidian Black, Mercury Silver and the stunning Transparent Edition.

The new Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra will be presented on August 11

Xiaomi will soon celebrate its 10th-anniversary event. The company has just posted on Twitter an invitation for media friends and Mi Fans, to mark their calendars for the announcement of its new Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra on August 11.

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra will be launched next week, in a virtual event. One of Xiaomi’s PR executives, Agatha Tang, has posted an invitation to this event on Twitter, which makes it more than official. The “Ultra” moniker has arrived as an upgrade to replace the “T” and “Pro,” so we can’t be sure as to what it is that we will get with this new device.

This moment will have more than one reason to celebrate, as Xiaomi has also surpassed Huawei in the European market during Q2 2020. In other words, Xiaomi is now placed on the third spot of smartphone sales. Samsung kept the first spot, but it saw a 31 percent year-on-year sales decline, while Apple and Xiaomi were the only ones to grow compared to previous years. Apple can thank the iPhone 11 and the latest iPhone SE for that, while Xiaomi’s strength lies in the Redmi Note 8 and Redmi Note 9 series.
