We had previously caught a glimpse of the Redmi Note 8 Pro in its beautiful green color variant. However, today, Redmi has just shown off the new device in high-quality official renders. The Redmi Note 7 Pro‘s flagship was its blue color variant but for its successor, the brand has chosen a special emerald green color. Honestly, it looks quite different and gives the phone a premium vibe.
Given that the hand positions vary in each picture, it’s as if Redmi is trying to tell us something from these images. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to decipher the code. If you do figure it out, let us know in the comments down below!
These renders also serve the purpose of showing you that the phone’s signal will be strong in any position. The company has optimized the antenna placement to ensure strong connectivity in any grip position.
The Redmi Note 8 Pro shouldn’t be too wide and should be comfortable to hold. Like previously teased, the phone will feature a quad-camera setup at the back with one of the sensors being the new 64MP Samsung GW1. We can also confirm that the fingerprint sensor will be located at the back.
While the phone may have a tall profile, it most definitely won’t be lightweight. This is because Redmi has confirmed that the Note 8 Pro will feature a large 4500mAh battery on board. Redmi’s GM Lu Weibing adds that since the Redmi Note 8 Pro comes with the Helio G90T gaming processor which is built using a 12nm process, its power consumption is higher than other 7nm processors. To solve this issue, the company decided to add an even bigger battery on the new device. He also confirmed that the phone will come with a charger faster than 10W. This was likely his way of making fun of the Honor 9X which features a slow 10W charger.

Did we mention that the phone comes with liquid cooling too? Yes! The Redmi Note 8 Pro will come with copper pipe liquid cooling which the brand says reduces the phone’s temperature by 4-6°C. So it should be able to use Helio G90T’s full potential for gaming. The company’s teasers have confirmed that gaming is a priority feature for the device as even the antennas are placed considering a user’s gaming position to ensure the best connectivity.
Overall, if the new Redmi Note 8 Pro is priced close its predecessor’s pricing, we are looking at a new champion in this segment. However, with liquid cooling and Helio G90T onboard it’s quite possible that this new generation model will be priced higher than the RN7Pro.
