The brand has announced Redmi Note 8 and Redmi Note 8 Pro. They will be available to purchase in September.
Xiaomi has been raising the bar with cameras for quite a while now. It all started with the Redmi Note 7 having 48-Megapixel smartphones in early 2019.
Redmi Note 8 Pro is one of the first mobiles in the world to come with a 64-megapixel sensor. A few days ago, Realme made a small-announcement about its XT with the same 64-megapixel sensor. But Xiaomi’s was a full-fledged, proper announcement.
Specifications of Redmi Note 8
Design
Redmi Note 8 has a 6.3″ LCD screen and a Full HD+ resolution. The fingerprint scanner might be on the back and not under the display due to the missing OLED display.
The phone comes with a 4,000 mAh battery with 18W charging speeds and USB-C port. There is a 3.5 mm audio jack.
It is available in the colors: black, white and dream blue.

The phone runs on a Snapdragon 665 chipset, based on the 11 nm process. The SoC has eight Kryo 260 cores – four of them clocked at 2.2 GHz, the other clocked at 1.8 GHz.
Camera
The smartphone has a quad-camera setup consisting of a main 48-megapixel with the latest Samsung ISOCELL GM2 sensor. The second is an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, followed by a 2-megapixel macro and 2-megapixel depth sensor.
The front camera is of 13-megapixels.
