The Redmi Note series has always been one of the company’s most popular lineup. It is a perfect example of the Xiaomi subsidiary’s policy of high performance offered at an aggressive price. The Redmi Note 8 Pro is equipped with a 6.53-inch Full HD display alongside a 64MP primary sensor in quad camera setup. Under the hood, the handset sports MediaTek’s Helio G90T gaming chipset, which has been specially optimized for mobile gaming and is powered by a large 4,500mAh battery.
