Xiaomi may have now released the Mi 11 globally, but it also plans to release a new entry in its already-well-stocked Mi 10 series. The new model is expected to feature the Snapdragon 870, a repackaged Snapdragon 865, while images from the TENAA reveal that the device may look an awful lot like the Mi 10 Ultra.

The TENAA has thrown up another upcoming Xiaomi smartphone, following the publication of listings for the Redmi K40, Redmi K40 Pro and the Black Shark 4 Pro. While all these devices are new models, Xiaomi will sell the device pictured above under last year's Mi 10 series.

The listing contains the model number M2012J2SC, which Xiaomi recently certified with the 3C in China, too. The TENAA listing confirms that the device will have a 4,680 mAh battery and a 6.67-inch display. Based on the photo above, it seems that Xiaomi has re-used the shell of the Mi 10 Ultra, a device that the company never released outside of China.

The M2012J2SC is believed to feature Qualcomm's Snapdragon 870 chipset, too. However, the Snapdragon 870 is a rebrand of the Snapdragon 865 and Snapdragon 865 Plus, but with a faster Kyro 585 Prime core, Bluetooth 5.2 support and an improved LTE modem. It is unclear when the M2012J2SC will arrive, but Xiaomi's teasers of the Mi 10 2021 suggest that it will be after Chinese New Year.
