The Redmi Note 7 has been a huge success since it launched. Now, a successor which will arrive as the Redmi Note 8 is coming soon and it promises big upgrades.

General Manager of the Redmi brand, Lu Weibing, took to Weibo today to share some details about the Redmi Note 8. Apparently, he already has a unit with him which he has been testing.

He said in the post that the new phone is better at taking photos, has a longer battery life and a higher-screen-to-body ratio with a more comfortable feel.

Weibo even confirms he is indeed using the phone as the site shows the device used in making the post is the Redmi Note 8.

It is still unconfirmed that the Redmi Note 8 is the same 64MP smartphone Redmi plans to launch but there is a chance they are one and the same. A few days ago, it was officially revealed that the 64MP phone is already in mass production. Seeing as the Redmi Note 8 is set to launch soon, then it might as well be the same phone.

Redmi will also likely announce the Redmi 8 alongside it. The Redmi 8 is believed to be the Redmi
M1908C3IC which showed up on TENAA yesterday. It has a 6.2 HD+ display with a Dot Drop notch, a 2.0GHz octa-core processor, up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. There are dual cameras and a fingerprint scanner on the rear and a massive 5000mAh battery under the hood too.
