Xiaomi launched the Redmi 8A smartphone in the Indian market a couple of weeks ago. Now, the company has confirmed that the Redmi 8 smartphone will make its debut in India on 9th October.
In the teaser image shared by the company for announcing the launch date, Xiaomi seems to be focusing on two aspects for promoting the device — battery and camera. Manu Kumar Jain, Xiaomi India MD has teased the smartphone as “battery champion” and says that you can “play more”, “click more”, “watch more”, and “store more”.
While the company has not revealed the specifications of the Redmi 8, the phone was recently listed on TENAA and was also spotted on Google Play Console, revealing almost everything when it comes to specifications.
As per the leaks, the Redmi 8, which carries model number M1908C3IC, will come with 6.21-inch HD+ display offering 1520 x 720 pixels screen resolution at 320PPI pixel density. Under the hood, the device will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 mobile platform, along with 3GB of RAM.
