Xiaomi has a diverse product portfolio, even more so in China, it’s home country. This diverse portfolio lets the country serve the needs of a wider variety of users with differing priorities much more effectively. The company already has its flagships Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro available in China for some months now, but both of those products are flagships with the Snapdragon 865 and cost a pretty penny. Now, the company is expanding the Mi 10 product portfolio by launching the Mi 10 Youth Edition 5G in China.

The Mi 10 Youth Edition 5G was expected to be a rebranded Mi 10 Lite 5G that was revealed for Europe earlier. But there are a few differences on this phone that make it a different device and not just a simple 1:1 rebrand. The camera setup on the back of the device gets a highlight feature in the form of the periscope zoom camera. There may be other differences as well, but Xiaomi had only partially revealed the Mi 10 Lite 5G in Europe, so it is difficult to come to a final conclusion on this just yet.

Xiaomi is focusing a fair bit on the camera on this device. In addition to the quad-camera setup for still photography, there are a few AI-based camera tricks too. There is the Sky Replacement tool which is now familiar to all by now. Users also get an AI Kaleidoscope video feature and an AI Doppelganger video feature, giving them plenty of cool tricks for their phones. Further, users can also shoot a video with inset previews for both the front and back camera, recording much wider context and reactions.
