Launched earlier in 2019, the Redmi Note 7 and Note 7 Pro has been one of the best-selling Note lineups for Xiaomi’s budget-focused sub-brand. Redmi Note 7 series has reached 20 million phones sold milestone to date, which is certainly a lot for just seven months. Well, Xiaomi is now aiming to one-up this milestone with the Redmi Note 8 Pro and Redmi Note 8 that was launched in China today.
Redmi Note 8 Pro has been priced starting at 1,399 yuan (roughly Rs. 14,000) for 6GB+64GB base variant. You will have to shell out 1,599 yuan (roughly Rs. 16,000) and 1,799 yuan (roughly Rs. 18,000) for the other 2 variants – 6GB+128GB and 8GB+128GB respectively.
Redmi Note 8 Pro: Specs
The design of the Redmi Note 8 Pro takes inspiration from the Redmi K20 series launched back in July. It’s a glass-sandwich construction with a 3D curved design for a comfortable Gorilla Glass 5 protection, but minus all of the smoky effect that we saw on the K20. But, that’s okay.
In the optics department, the Redmi Note 8 Pro is` outfitted with four cameras which are aligned along the center of the rear panel. The primary sensor here is the much-awaited 64MP ISOCELL Bright GW1 sensor that the company talked about at its camera event in China earlier this month. It’s paired with an 8MP ultra-wide lens with 120-degree field-of-view, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro sensor sitting under the flash on the right of the camera module. It supports 960fps super slo-mo video recording as well.
The Redmi Note 8 is pretty similar to its elder sibling in terms of design, except for the minor difference that the quad-camera module is placed closer to the edge. The device comes with a slightly smaller 6.3-inch LTPS LCD display, with a 90% screen-to-body ratio and 19.5:9 aspect ratio.
Now, Xiaomi hasn’t revealed any details for the India launch of the Redmi Note 8 lineup just yet but stay tuned for more information. We will update you once we learn about it.
