Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi is holding a launch event in China on 29th August where the company is all set to launch the Redmi Note 8 series smartphones as well as its all-new 70-inch Redmi TV.
The company had recently revealed the Redmi Note 8 Pro World of Warcraft 15th Anniversary Limited Edition smartphone and today, Redmi has shared a small teaser video of the same, which is set to launch on 29th August.
These limited-edition models will be a result of the partnership between Redmi and World of Warcraft to celebrate the popular game’s 15th anniversary. The phone will come in two versions. One has a Red and Black box while the other has a Blue and White box.
The contents of this limited gift box edition Redmi Note 8 Pro are currently unknown. We presume there may be a custom theme as well as World of Warcraft wallpapers pre-loaded with the device. The company could also include a custom case for the phone.
World of Warcraft was first released in 2004 by Blizzard Entertainment. It is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) and was the most popular MMORPG in 2009. As of 2017, the game had grossed over $9 billion in revenue.
The company has confirmed that the Redmi Note 8 Pro will come powered by the MediaTek Helio G90T chipset, which is focused on gaming users. Redmi has already confirmed that the smartphone will come with liquid-cooling technology to ensure that the phone’s thermal remains under control, even after prolonged heavy usage.
The 12nm Helio G90T includes two Cortex-A76 cores working at 2.05 GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores working at 2GHz. It includes ARM Mali G76 graphics that clocks at 800MHz and it carries support 21:9 aspect ratio display, 90Hz refresh rate, HDR10 standard, up to 10 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.1 storage. The Helio G90 series of chipsets support HyperEngine for improved connectivity between a smartphone and a cellular network.
There is Dual Wi-Fi connection support that allows the phone to connect to two Wi-Fi networks at the same time. Its other features include Call and Data Concurrency, Resource Management Engine and a Picture Quality Engine.
The camera sensors will be placed vertically with three camera sensors followed by a fingerprint reader. Alongside, there’s an LED flash and the fourth camera sensor. Redmi has already shared a few camera samples. The phone will be equipped with features like NFC and IR Blaster and the battery will support 18W fast charging.
The Redmi Note 8 Pro smartphone is confirmed to feature quad cameras at the back with a 64MP primary camera. The company has also shared a few camera samples of the same, which looks really impressive and could be a gamechanger in its segment.
