Finally, it’s official. It’s just yesterday, August 29th, the Xiaomi’s CEO Lu Weibing announced the next iterations of company’s mid-range series, the Redmi Note 8 and Redmi Note 8 Pro.
What so special about this release is the fact that both smartphones are the company’s first-ever device boasting 64-megapixel camera. Thanks to the Samsung ISOCELL GW1 64MP sensor.
Another fun fact about this release is the coming of MediaTek Helio G90T System on Chip (SoC). The chipset brings 8 computing units consisting of 2x Cortex-A76 CPUs @2.05GHz and 6x Cortex-A55 CPUs @2GHz. This chipset is available within the Pro variant which is for us very interesting since the Redmi Note 8 comes powered with Qualcomm Snapdragon 665.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at each of its key specifications below.
