Teasers from smartphone and other tech companies can be vague at times, and fans and others have to put on their thinking caps to decipher the possible meanings. Although not everything merits deciphering, and sometimes things are straightforward.

But in this case of a teaser on the Redmi India Twitter channel, seems to indicate that a possible Redmi Note 10 series 5G smartphone could be on its way to India soon. And if how we deciphered it is correct, it could be the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10T 5G smartphone that was recently revealed in Russia.

While the teaser's video as well as the text is rather vague, our assumption is that the "1035 light-years away" part of the text refers to a part of the name of the smartphone. We assume the it translated to 10T, with the 5 and 'light-years away' meaning 5G.
