The first real images of the Xiaomi Mi 10T appear to be in the works.

XDA Developers posted the first images of this refreshed Xiaomi flagship. These were originally spotted on consumer trade site OfferUp, but the listing for this phone has now been removed.

The photos show a punch-hole selfie camera in the display, similar to the one featured on the Mi 10 Pro. A plain back design can also be seen, but this is offset by the camera array. In this setup, the main 108MP camera is placed at the top of the block, with the other three sensors and the flash module making a square below it.

The listing does not identify the Mi10T by name, instead referring to it by its codename "apollo" and model number M2007J3SG. This number matches the model number found in the phone's IMEI database entry, previously seen within the MIUI 12 beta, making this leak look credible.

The MIUI beta reveals that the apollo and apollo pro models will have 64MP and 108MP main cameras, respectively. Other rumors point to the Mi 10T having a 5,000mAh battery and a 144Hz display, and either a Snapdragon 865 or Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset. One or more models may also feature a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, according to leaker Abishek Yadav. [The Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro is a truly excellent Android flagship smartphone, but it is currently not available in the US or UK. If it is available for purchase, the Galaxy S20 series and Galaxy Note 20 series, thanks to its great display, battery life, and quad camera array with a 108MP main sensor and two telephoto sensors for long-distance and portrait mode photography, OnePlus 8 Pro would be a strong competitor.

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra was recently announced as the new range-topper in the Mi 10 series, which will not be available outside China. Therefore, the Mi 10T will be the next best thing for UK and US buyers looking to import, unless Xiaomi changes its mind and decides to sell the phone in those markets.
