Xiaomi has announced the Redmi Note 8T after launching the Redmi Note 8 and Note 8 Pro earlier this year. At an event in Spain earlier today, the company launched the new device that comes with similar design and hardware elements to the standard Redmi Note 8, but with an NFC chip that’s missing in the standard model. There’s no word on whether it differs in any other way from the regular Note 8, but on paper at least, the specs look fairly identical.
The Redmi Note 8 seemingly comes with the exact same specifications as the standard Note 8, including a 6.3-inch full-HD+ (2340 x 1080) in-cell LCD display with a 39:18 (19.5:9) aspect ratio and 84 percent NTSC colour gamut. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 665 AIE SoC, which comes with an octa-core CPU with custom Kryo cores and the Adreno 610 GPU. It rocks up to 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage.
Redmi Note 8T Price and Availability
In case you’re wondering when the Redmi Note 8T will launch in India, be prepared to be disappointed. It’s meant squarely for the European market, and Xiaomi India Marketing head, Anuj Sharma, has already confirmed that the phone will not launch in India. That, however, shouldn’t be much of an issue, given that NFC is far from a must-have feature in the country at this stage.
