Redmi Note 8 Pro, Redmi Note 8 released in India: Everything you need to know

Redmi Note 8 Pro and Redmi Note 8 are the latest additions to Xiaomi’s mid-range smartphone family in India, bringing some of the notable features to the table. The Redmi Note 8 Pro is the first Redmi device to rock a MediaTek Helio G90T processor, which is claimed to have outperformed the Snapdragon 712 processor. It is also the second device in India that comes with a 64-megapixel camera in a quad setup. The camera uses a Samsung GW1 sensor. At the event held in New Delhi, Manu Kumar Jain, Xiaomi India MD, also announced the MIUI 11 for its Indian smartphone line, in addition to a new air purifier ahead of the winter season, which is infamous for the foggy atmosphere in most parts of India.

Jain announced the pricing of the two smartphones amid an uproar over the claim that Xiaomi has sold 5.3 million units during the Diwali sale on various platforms. Xiaomi has ditched the 3GB/32GB variant for the Redmi Note 8 and has gone with the 4GB/64GB variant as the base.
