Xiaomi Mi 10 Gets a New Grey Colour Variant: Price, Specifications

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.

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.
