Xiaomi is expected to release two new phones belonging to the Mi 8 series. One is the Mi 8 Youth and the other is the Mi 8 Screen Fingerprint Edition. A device with model number M1808D2TE has been seen on TENAA and we believe it is the Mi 8 Youth.
The Mi 8 Youth is a less powerful version of the other Mi 8 devices and it shows in the specs. It has a 6.26-inch screen with a 2280 x 1080 resolution and a 19:9 aspect ratio. Xiaomi has decided to go with LCD and not Super AMOLED to keep the price down.
The phone is powered by an octa-core processor clocked at 2.2GHz. This is believed to be the Snapdragon 710 processor which also powers the Mi 8 SE. There are three RAM + storage configurations – 4GB + 32GB, 6GB + 64GB, and 8GB + 128GB.
