The Redmi Note 8 Pro will defer from the Redmi Note 7 Pro in a lot of ways but one thing will remain unchanged and that is the design of the screen.
Up until today, none of the official promotional materials and leaks have revealed the screen of the upcoming phone but thanks to a promotional video, we can now confirm the Redmi Note 8 Pro will keep the waterdrop notch screen of its predecessor.
The promotional video is actually a test showing how strong the phone is. In the 39-second video, we see two units of the phone get stepped on by a weightlifter while carrying a pretty heavy barbell. After he is done, both phones are shown to be undamaged (at least their screens are fine). It is at this point we see the Redmi Note 8 Pro has a waterdrop notch.
At the end of the video, we also get confirmation that the phone will come in two colors – green and white. We also get a closer look at the waterdrop notch.
Redmi’s general manager, Lu Weibing has also revealed the retail box of the phone. The box has a gradient color design like that of the Redmi Note 7 Pro but there is very little purple this time. The name of the phone is also written vertically instead of horizontally at the bottom.
The Redmi Note 8 Pro launches on August 29. It will be powered by the Helio G90T, pack quad rear cameras and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, and also have liquid cooling.
