Xiaomi Redmi Note series is now available in Kenya. Xiaomi Kenya launched the new devices under the company’s budget Redmi series on Saturday. The company globally launched Redmi Note 10 series in February.
Under the Redmi Note 10 series, there are two models available in Kenya – the vanilla Redmi Note 10 and Redmi Note 10 Pro. There’s also a Redmi Note 10 Pro Max, but that isn’t coming to Kenya.
The two available models have refreshed designs and still aim to provide value for money like the previous Redmi Note 9 launched in 2020.
