The Redmi Note 8 Pro already got a successor but it appears Xiaomi (read Redmi) isn’t done with the phone yet.
The official Xiaomi Twitter account has announced that the Redmi Note 8 Pro will get a new Special Edition. Actually, it is a new color variant and the tweet even hints at the color being related to Xiaomi. Since Xiaomi’s official color is orange, it means the new colorway is most likely orange.

Back in January, a Twilight Orange color variant of the phone was released in China. At the moment, the color variant is no longer available for purchase. We presume Xiaomi will relaunch the color option, globally this time around and maybe with a special retail box to mark its 10th-year anniversary.
The Redmi Note 8 Pro has a 6.53-inch FHD+ display with a waterdrop notch. It is powered by the Helio G90T processor with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of expandable storage. There is a 64MP + 8MP + 2MP + 2MP quad-camera setup on the rear and a 20MP sensor in for the front-facing camera.
The device has a 4500mAh battery with support for 18W fast charge, a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, NFC, an audio jack, and a USB-C port. It launched with Android 9 Pie but has been upgraded to Android 10.
The Redmi Note 8 Pro isn’t the only “old” phone to get a new colorway. The Realme 5 Pro which was also announced in August 2019 just got a new Chroma White variant.
