The Redmi 8 will be unveiled tomorrow in India. The mid-range phone will succeed the Redmi 7 which was launched earlier this year. There are a number of new features such as a bigger battery and fast-charging technology included in the new phone. Just a day before its launch, an unboxing video has been posted on the web.
The unboxing video was uploaded on the YouTube channel SalimBaba Technical. The video shows the Redmi 8 will come in a white box that has a picture of the phone in the three colors it will be available in plastered on the front. The device is shown to have a waterdrop notch and dual cameras.
The Redmi 8 boasts a design different from its predecessors such as a slightly smaller display, Redmi branding on the chin, and dual cameras arranged vertically in the middle along with the fingerprint scanner.
The unit in the box is the Sapphire Blue variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. There will also be black and red variants too.
The sticker on the display lists some of the phone’s features such as a 5000mAh battery with support for Quick Charge 3.0 18W, a 6.22” HD+ Dot Drop Display with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection, 12MP + 2MP AI dual camera, an 8MP selfie camera, and a Snapdragon 439 processor.
A sticker on the back of the phone reveals the phone has a triple card tray which allows you to use two nano-SIM cards and a MicroSD card at the same time. The Redmi 8 also comes with a USB Type-C port and a USB-C cable is included in the box. Along with a fingerprint scanner, the phone also has face unlock.
The “About Phone” menu shows the phone runs a global version of MIUI 10 based on Android 9 Pie. It has August’s security patch installed and its model number is stated as M1908C3IG.
The Redmi 8 should arrive in other markets too after it launches in India tomorrow.
