Mi 10 has got a new grey colour variant, adding to the three colours that it was originally launched with in China back in February. The Mi 10 by Xiaomi made its debut in India a few months later in May. The grey variant comes with the name Country Style Elegant Grey (translated) and has a matte finish to it. This new colour variant is only available with the Mi 10 and not the Mi 10 Pro, both of which are the part of the flagship series from the Chinese company.
Mi 10 Grey variant price, availability
As of now, the grey variant of the Mi 10 is only available in China, as per the company’s Chinese website. It is priced in the country at CNY 3,999 (roughly Rs. 43,350) for the base 8GB +128GB storage variant. Two more storage options are also on offer – 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 256GB.
Customers in China can also choose from three other colour options – Titanium Silver Black (translated), Ice Sea Blue (translated), and Peach Gold (translated).
In India, the phone comes in two colour options — Coral Green and Twilight Grey. The Twilight Grey colour has a darker shade compared to the newer Country Style Elegant Gray offering. The Mi 10 is priced at Rs. 49,999 for the 8GB + 128GB storage variant and at Rs. 54,999 for the 8GB + 256GB storage variant in India.
