Speaking of resource optimization, the next Note 8 Pro comes with a powerful MediaTek processor, the Helio G90T.

Note 8 Pro Specifications

Note 8 Pro includes a 6.53 inches IPS LCD screen with FullHD + resolution. It has a maximum brightness of 500 nits. We have high hopes for the new chipset on the device since MediaTek claims the Helio G90T is a game-oriented processor. This CPU would be paired with 6 GB of RAM and 8 GB of RAM options with 64 GB and 128 GB storage variants, respectively.

Under the hood, we get a respectable 4,500mAh drums. We expect the device to provide at least a full day of autonomy with moderate to heavy use. It would also support 18W fast charge, however, we will have to wait and see if Xiaomi includes the 18W fast charger in the box.

The device has a quad-camera configuration towards the back of the device. This consists of a 64 MP, primary sensor f / 1.9 + 8 MP, f / 2.2, ultra-wide-angle lens + 2 MP, f / 2.4, macro objective + 2 MP, f / 2.4, depth sensor. On the front, there is a 20 MP, f / 2.0, selfie camera.

Xiaomi has not revealed the pricing details of the Redmi Note 8 Pro for the Indian market. However, the price of the device is 1,399 yuan in China, which translates roughly to Rs. 14,000 ($ 200). After taxes and import duties, the Redmi Note 8 Pro could be launched to Rs. 15,000 in India.
