A few months ago, Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi launched the much-anticipated Redmi Note 8 series smartphones in its home market which has now made its way to other markets as well, including India and Europe.
Today, Xiaomi has announced a new color variant for the Redmi Note 8 Pro by sharing a poster on Twitter through its official handle. The company has now introduced Redmi Note 8 Pro in Ocean Blue color option.
When launched, the smartphone was introduced in three color options — Shadow Black, Gamma Green, and Halo White. With this new Ocean Blue color option, the company has now four hues for the device. However, it remains to be seen where Redmi starts selling this new color variant.
The announcement comes just days after the company launched a new 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage variant of the same smartphone in its home country China for a price of 1,899 yuan which roughly converts to $271.
The Redmi Note 8 Pro comes with an IP52 splash resistant body and is equipped with a 6.53-inch IPS LCD display with waterdrop notch. It supports Full HD+ screen resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. The TUV Rheinland certification for the display ensures that it filters the harmful blue rays.
