Last week, we reported that the Redmi 8 has gotten a fourth price increase in India. Redmi India has now increased the price of the Redmi Note 8 and it is said to be the fifth price hike this year.
The 4GB RAM + 64GB phone which was originally launched with a starting price of INR 9,999 (~$132.97) last year now goes for INR 12,499 (~$166.22). The new price is an increase of INR 500 over its last selling price. The official Xiaomi website has been updated with the new price, and 91Mobiles has reported that the new price has taken effect at offline stores today.
There is a little bit of good news though. The price of the 6GB RAM + 128GB version has not been increased, so that still sells for INR 14,499 (~$193).
The Redmi Note 8 has a 6.3-inch FHD+ LCD display with a notch at the top for a 13MP front-facing camera. It is powered by the Snapdragon 665 processor. There is a 48MP camera on the back of the phone along with an 8MP ultrawide angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. The phone also has a 4000mAh battery, support for 18W fast charging, an audio jack, and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.
