Redmi is all over the news because the company is
getting set to release some new smartphones. Xiaomi VP and general
manager of the Redmi brand, Lu Weibing, took to Weibo today to share some
details about the Redmi Note 8. According to him, the Redmi Note 8 comes with a
better battery and takes better images. In addition, he said that this device
comes with better feel as well as a higher screen ratio. In the comment section
of the post, Lu Weibing also gave a reply which says that this smartphone
charging capacity is higher than 10W.
He is most-likely comparing this smartphone to the
Redmi Note 7. The Redmi Note 7 uses a 48MP main sensor and the Note 8 upgrades
to a 64MP shooter. Furthermore, Redmi Note 8 will use more than the 4000 mAh
battery which comes with the Note 7. It appears that Lu Weibing is now using
the Redmi Note 8. His Weibo posts now read “from Note8Android” which means that
he uses the Redmi Note8.
According to Lu Weibing, the smartphone with
quad-rear camera setup will use Samsung’s new 64MP camera. From earlier
reports, Redmi’s smartphone with the 64MP will also come with a waterdrop
display. However, it will have the new MediaTek Helio G90T processor under its
hood. Lu Weibing, vice president of Xiaomi Group and general manager of Redmi
brand, revealed that the 64MP smartphone from Redmi went into mass-production
half a month ago. He also assured everyone that there will be enough stocking
of this smartphone.
Redmi will also likely announce the Redmi 8 or Redmi
8A alongside it. This smartphone with model number M1908C3IC recently appeared
on TENAA. A real image of this device recently hit the web. The Redmi 8 (or 8A)
will come with a Snapdragon 439 SoC coupled with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of
expandable storage. It also comes with dual rear camera setup, 5000 mAh
battery, and a rear fingerprint sensor.
