The Redmi Note 8 is one of the most popular models in the Redmi Note series. It is so popular that Xiaomi is bringing it back this year with upgraded internals. Yes, you read that right – the Redmi Note 8 2021 is coming.
A tweet by the official Xiaomi account has confirmed earlier reports that there is a new version of the Redmi Note 8 coming, and it will launch as the Redmi Note 8 2021. This is unusual considering that the Redmi Note 8 has already received two successors – the Redmi Note 9 and the Redmi Note 10 – and both are fantastic devices. There is not yet an official launch date for the Redmi Note 8 2021 but we will let you know once we do.

In the tweet, Xiaomi revealed that it has sold over 25 million units of the original Redmi Note 8 phone globally. While that is a lot considering that Xiaomi revealed earlier today that it has sold over 200 million Redmi Note phones since the series was established up until February 24, 2021, we are not sure if the 25 million units include sales of the Redmi Note 8T which is practically the NFC version of the Redmi Note 8.
It has been reported that the Redmi Note 8 2021 will have an LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a waterdrop notch. It will swap the Snapdragon 665 chipset for MediaTek’s Helio G85, have 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and pack a 4000mAh battery with support for22.5W fast charging. It will also run MIUI 12.5 out of the box. The camera specs are currently unknown but there are speculations it may not differ from the original.
Now that Xiaomi is relaunching older devices, which of its other phones do you want to see get a relaunch?
