Redmi Note 8 Pro Rumor Roundup: Everything you need to Know Ahead of the launch

Aug 26, 2019

Redmi Note 7 was one of the best-selling smartphones of 2019 and the absolute best-seller in several countries. Now, Xiaomi’s sub-brand is getting ready to launch its successor: the Redmi Note 8, which will also come in a Pro variant. Given the importance of this upcoming smartphone, a lot of leaks and rumors surfaced in the past couple of weeks, which bared all of its main specifications. That why we decided to make a rumor roundup ahead of the launch which is due in a couple of days.

In this Redmi Note 8 Pro specs and features rumor roundup, you will find everything you need to know about the Pro version and the standard version before launch.

Design

1 of 4

According to the official renders published by Xiaomi, the Redmi Note 8 will have a completely renewed design compared to its predecessor. Its back cover has an uncanny resemblance to OPPO Reno devices due to several design elements. And it’s not just the colors and the gradient hues but also the way everything is arranged at the back.

The Redmi logo will be placed vertically just like the Oppo logo on the Reno devices, and the rear camera department will be placed at the center instead of the upper left corner like the Redmi Note 7. The handset will have a special arrangement for the antennas which will be suitable for gamers who often hold their device in landscape mode. Yes, the Redmi Note 8 will also be a phone focused on the gaming experience. Redmi Note 8 might come in three color options: Meteorite Black, Fantasy Blue, and White, while the Note 8 Pro is rumored to come in Ice Jade, Fritillaria White and Electro-optic Ash. The front should house a waterdrop notch on the Note 8 Pro and Note 8.

Display

We do not expect revolutionary displays on the Redmi Note 8 and 8 Pro. They are supposed to come with a classic IPS LCD panel carrying a Full HD+ resolution and a waterdrop notch, just like the display on the Redmi Note 7. The presence of a rear-mounted fingerprint reader is a further confirmation of an IPS display instead of an AMOLED panel.

In addition to this, a 90Hz screen would be perfect for gaming, right? And guess what, the Helio G90T does support 90Hz panels. However, that’s highly unlikely, so we are almost sure that won’t happen.

Specs & Software

Unlike the Redmi Note 6 and 7 line-ups, the Redmi Note 8 Pro will be powered by a MediaTek chipset. The chipmaker already confirmed that Redmi Note 8 Pro will be equipped with an Helio G90T while the Note 8 will come with a Snapdragon 665. As the letter “G” in its name suggests, the G90T is specifically made for gamers.

The Helio G90T is built on 12 nm and comes with 8 cores including two Cortex A76 running at 2.05 GHz frequency and six Cortex A55 with a 2 GHz frequency. The chip supports HyperEngine and Dual Wi-Fi connection which allows the user to connect to two WiFi networks at the same time. Indeed very useful tech for gamers.

Redmi Note 8 should come in three variants: 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, 6/64 GB, and 6/128 GB. The Pro variant should come in a configuration with 6/64 GB, one with 6/128 GB, 8/128 GB and the most expensive one with 10 GB of RAM and UFS 2.1 internal storage. The score obtained by Mediatek Helio G90T on AnTuTu benchmark is almost on par with the Kirin 810 found on the Honor 9X. Note that the Kirin 810 is built at 7 nm, so this is definitely an outstanding result. There will also be liquid cooling on board, just like a lot of valid gaming phones. It is able to reduce the phone’s temperature by 4-6°C.

Camera

It is already confirmed that both the Redmi Note 8 and 8 Pro will be equipped with a quad-camera setup on the rear side. On the Redmi Note 8 Pro, the primary sensor will be a Samsung ISOCELL Bright GW1 with a 64 MP resolution, which is nearly double of 8K’s resolution (9248 x 6936 pixels). The Redmi Note 8 Pro is also tipped to come with 25x zoom capability and 4-to-1 pixel billing (tetracell) which will allow producing 16 MP photos with bigger pixels, more light and a stunning level of detail. The fourth sensor of the Redmi Note 8 Pro will be placed on the right of the other three ones, just below the LED flash.

Unlike popular belief, the fourth sensor of the Redmi Note 8 is not a TOF sensor, but it will probably be a super macro camera. The secondary sensor is an ultrawide lens, while the third one is a depth sensor. The camera module of the Redmi Note 8 will include at least one different sensor when compared to the Note 8 Pro.

Redmi Note 8 camera — Redmi Note 8 render

The camera arrangement remains the same but it’s placed differently in the two models. Redmi Note 8 will have a quad camera placed on the top left corner (as seen above), while on the Pro variant it will be placed centrally.

While Redmi Note 8 Pro will boast a 64 MP main sensor, the vanilla Note 8 is supposed to sport a 48 MP lens as the primary sensor. The first camera samples surfaced are simply impressive.

Battery

Redmi Note devices always had big batteries, and the trend will not change with the Redmi Note 8 line-up. The Pro version is already confirmed to sport a huge 4500 mAh battery with a charger faster than 10W. We expect to see a smaller battery onboard the vanilla Redmi Note 8, but it should be no less than 4000 mAh. Note that while the battery will be big, the processors will not be the most efficient ones, considering that they are built at 12 nm / 11 nm. Just to make an example, the Kirin 810 found on the rival Honor 9X is built at 7 nm, so it consumes a lot less energy.

Redmi Note 8 Launch Date, Price, and Availability

Redmi Note 8 and 8 Pro will be officially announced on August 29, alongside a new Redmi TV with a 70-inch screen. The initial launch will take place in China, but unfortunately, we still do not know the listing price.

EDITOR’S PICK: The Snapdragon 855-powered Pioneer X1 is China Mobile’s first 5G phone

The phone equally packs a 4500mAh battery under the hood with support for Vivo’s 44W Super FlashCharge technology. It runs Monster UI based on Android 9 out of the box.

Rumors claim Geely-Huawei partnership, Harmony OS powered cars coming soon?

Aug 26, 2019

Huawei‘s HarmonyOS is one of the most talked about topics in tech at the moment, and the possibilities for it are endless. In fact, right now we’re already hearing rumors about HarmonyOS making rounds on Weibo. According to the rumors, Geely, a popular car manufacturer in China, has partnered with Huawei to expand the usage of HarmonyOS even further.

Now, Geely already has their own GKUI running on their car, which means if these rumors are true, there are two possibilities here. The first is that Geely is planning to drop their current GKUI in favor of Huawei’s HarmonyOS. The second option is that Geely will work with Huawei to allow their GKUI cars to communicate better with devices powered by HarmonyOS.

Editor’s Pick: Huawei Mate 30 Pro’s design revealed in official poster

If this is true, then this is a fairly big deal since it’s the first time since we’ve seen HarmonyOS on a non-Huawei device. On top of that, Geely is a big name in China, which means Huawei has the reach and connections to make the operating system a more mainstream option. HarmonyOS is after all an IoT operating system, so the more partners they get the better.

Mr Lu pointed out that when Harmony OS was unveiled, Huawei’s product roadmap included devices like TVs, smart watches, in-vehicle display units and some of its PCs. Smartphones and tablets were noticeable omissions and this was by design Out of this list, two of the products are already down, and we’re eager to see what’s coming next.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro’s design revealed in official poster

Aug 26, 2019

The Huawei Mate 30 will be rocking a very unique look when it launches later this year. After months of leaks, we now have a clear look of the phone thanks to a leaked official poster.

The poster which was shared on Weibo shows the Mate 30 Pro will have a wide notch similar to that of the Mate 20 Pro. We can make out about three cameras inside the notch. We bet the phone has a 3D face unlock system for security.

The Mate 30 Pro has an IR blaster and a microphone at opposite ends of the top. There are also antenna lines too. The display is shown to curve to the sides and the bezels are quite thin. The phone does look really gorgeous but we are more excited about the back.

The Mate 30 Pro will come with four rear cameras that are placed in a circular housing. The phone has a significant camera bump which we believe has an important function explained below.

Earlier today, Android Authority reported that Huawei and Honor may be working on Moto Mod-style cases for its phones. These cases were discovered on the Bluetooth SIG website which has a listing of several cases. The model number of these cases hint at their functions. For example, there is a game case, a snorkeling case, a health case, and an amplification case. These cases will connect via Bluetooth 4.2 and provide additional features. The listing is even more detailed and reveals the health case will have features like blood pressure monitoring, glucose-level monitoring, temperature measurement, and heart rate measurement.

The model number also reveals these smart cases will be available for different phones as the codenames are included in the model numbers. The codenames for some of these yet-to-be-announced phones are Anna, Elsa, Noah, Ark, Sulawesi, Maxwell, Emma, Keira, Yarlung, Zangbo, Volga, Danube, Titian, Palawan, Pascal, CHA, PEN, Piaget, Kelly, Audrey, Catherine, Eagle, Ruby, Bugatti, Baikal, etc.

Based on the design of the Mate 30 Pro, we believe it will be the first device to come with these smart cases and the cases should flush with the camera bump when attached.

The Mate 30 Pro also has what appears to be a Xenon flash and a smaller circular LED flash. We can also see LEICA written on the back but can’t make out the other text.

The phone will have a red-painted power button and will be available in purple and green. The poster also reveals the phone will be powered by the Kirin 990 processor and have superfast charging. The phone is rumored to launch on September 19.

Aug 26, 2019

The Redmi Note 8 Pro will be coming in two colors – green and white. We expect more color variants may be announced in the months after its launch. However, in addition to those two colors, there will also be two limited edition variants of the phone unveiled on Thursday. These limited-edition models will be a result of the partnership between Redmi and World of Warcraft to celebrate the popular game’s 15th anniversary. The official Weibo account for Redmi has shared photos of the special retail boxes the phone will come in.

[envira-gallery id=”272232″]

The Redmi Note 8 Pro World of Warcraft Limited Edition will be available in two versions. One has a red and black box while the other has a blue and white box. The contents of this limited gift box edition Redmi Note 8 Pro are currently unknown. We presume there may be a custom theme as well as World of Warcraft wallpapers pre-loaded with the device. There may even be a custom case.

More details should surface on August 29 when the Redmi Note 8 pro will be announced.

World of Warcraft was released in 2004 by Blizzard Entertainment. It is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) and was the most popular MMORPG in 2009. As at 2017, the game had grossed over $9 billion in revenue.

Xiaomi launches the MIJIA Sports Shoes 3 priced at 199 yuan ($27)

Aug 26, 2019

Xiaomi has launched the MIJIA Sports Shoes 3, the third-generation model of its smart sports shoes. The sports sneakers is expected to go on sale today.

The MIJIA Sports Shoes 3 design is quite similar to that of the Sports Shoes 2 that was released last year. Xiaomi brought some improvement to the Uni-moulding production product used in manufacturing the sole of the shoes. A new Uni-Mounding 2.0 production process was utilised which is an improved technology from the one used on the MIJIA ports Shoes 2. In this case, 6different materials and layers were bonded into one single sole. Each of the layers is separated using a thin polyurethane film pressed and bonded. Because the components are pressed together with the mould, the appearance of the components will appear to be cleaner than the ordinary manual glue combination, and the probability of the glue opening up is also highly reduced. The new uni-Moulding 2.0 process also provides even better stability and support to the feet. This process combines the characteristics of the different materials to meet the needs of different sporting use. The second-generation version fuses 5 different layers and types of materials are fused into a single mould.

The front of the shoes uses a popcorn cloud midsole to increase the rebound feedback required by the forefoot during sporting activities. The back of the palm uses the FREE FORCE technology midsole, which gives the back of the feet enough cushioning demand during exercise.

In order to better support the contours of the foot, Xiaomi has completely upgraded the fishbone system in use inside the shoes. In this case, 10 fish bones are linked together using the TPU injection process to form a 360° locking system. It ensures the support of the shoe body to the foot during exercise.

Further, the upper part of the Mi Men’s Sports Shoes 2 is manufactured using a three-dimensional seamless high-elastic knitting process. The entire upper part uses just one seam thus minimizing foreign body sensation. The material is very durable such that you can throw in the sneakers into the washing machine without fear of it getting damaged. It comes with a reflective lace and body making, keeping the user to oncoming traffic visible at night.

Redmi Note 8 Pro has a waterdrop notch, retail box revealed

Aug 26, 2019

The Redmi Note 8 Pro will defer from the Redmi Note 7 Pro in a lot of ways but one thing will remain unchanged and that is the design of the screen.

Up until today, none of the official promotional materials and leaks have revealed the screen of the upcoming phone but thanks to a promotional video, we can now confirm the Redmi Note 8 Pro will keep the waterdrop notch screen of its predecessor.

The promotional video is actually a test showing how strong the phone is. In the 39-second video, we see two units of the phone get stepped on by a weightlifter while carrying a pretty heavy barbell. After he is done, both phones are shown to be undamaged (at least their screens are fine). It is at this point we see the Redmi Note 8 Pro has a waterdrop notch.

At the end of the video, we also get confirmation that the phone will come in two colors – green and white. We also get a closer look at the waterdrop notch.

Redmi Note 8 Pro's retail box — Redmi Note 8 Pro’s retail box

Redmi’s general manager, Lu Weibing has also revealed the retail box of the phone. The box has a gradient color design like that of the Redmi Note 7 Pro but there is very little purple this time. The name of the phone is also written vertically instead of horizontally at the bottom.

The Redmi Note 8 Pro launches on August 29. It will be powered by the Helio G90T, pack quad rear cameras and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, and also have liquid cooling.

Is this Honor phone with a circular camera housing the Honor V30 or Honor 20S?

Aug 26, 2019

While Apple and Google are going for a squircle camera housing for their upcoming flagships, other manufacturers like OnePlus (OnePlus 7T), Huawei (Mate 30), and now Honor will be adopting the circular camera housing design which Motorola made famous for their own flagships.

A render of an Honor smartphone with the circular camera housing has surfaced online and there are speculations as to which upcoming phone it is.

The picture was shared on Weibo yesterday by @ IT Da Shixiong. It shows the phone in green (Phantom Blue), with a similar light pattern to that of the Honor 20. However, rather than have its cameras lined up vertically by the side, this phone has its cameras arranged in a circle in the middle.

There is a camera sensor at each cardinal point while an LED flash is in the middle. One of the cameras even has a square-shaped lens like that of the Huawei P30 Pro. This sensor is most likely a periscope zoom lens. The angle of the picture doesn’t let us know if it has a camera bump or not.

Some say this may be the Honor V30, the successor to the Honor V20 and which should launch outside China as the Honor View 30. However, the V30 isn’t expected to arrive until the end of the year.

Others say it may be an upcoming phone called the Honor 20S (not Honor 20 SE). This phone was recently seen on Google’s Android Enterprise Recommended Device list but has been pulled down. Thankfully, someone managed to take a screenshot of the page.

The Honor 20S will come with a 6-inch screen with a waterdrop notch, 8GB of RAM, 128GB or 256GB of storage, and run Android 10 out of the box. The rest of the specs are unknown.

There are not enough reasons to say if the phone above is the Honor V30 or Honor 20S but we are pretty sure the device is a flagship phone. Honor is scheduled to announce a new phone called the Honor 20 SE next month. We do not know where this phone sits in the Honor 20 series but it may not be a flagship phone.

Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 8 Pro model is turning out to be quite powerful and feature-rich. After confirming that the new model will feature MediaTek’s G90T gaming processor with liquid cooling, the company announced today that its beautiful green variant is called as the Redmi Note 8 Pro Ice Jade variant. Also, the phone will feature a 3D curved glass design, similar to what we have seen on premium smartphones.

Redmi claims that the phone features a four-curved 3D design. This adds a liquidy touch to the design, staying true to its Ice Jade name. When Redmi says the design is 3D four-curved, it’s likely hinting that the phone’s back is curved on all the four sides. If you look at the render closely, you can see the gentle curves on the sides. Green seems to be really in trend this year, with the RN8Pro really embracing it. Even the Realme 5 Pro which was announced a few days back comes in a crystal green color scheme.

The Redmi Note 8 Pro is confirmed to feature quad cameras at the back with a 64MP primary camera. After seeing the samples, the phone is likely to do really well in its price segment. The fingerprint sensor will be located just below the camera housing, at the back. There’s liquid cooling as well as smart antenna placements to ensure the phone does well even while gaming. Its AnTuTu score puts it just below Kirin 810 and well above other Snapdragon 712 powered smartphones.

The Redmi Note 8 Pro and the Note 8 will launch on August 29.
