The Redmi Note 8 series may launch in India sooner than expected if the recent leak from Mi India is anything to go by. The Redmi Note 8 is shown to have appeared on the RF exposure portion of Mi India’s website.

The addition of the Redmi Note 8 to the list is raising hopes of an early release of the device as well as the Note 8 Pro in India. This is coming after Redmi’s GM Lu Weibing had hinted on the sideline of the Note 8 China launch that the phone won’t be launched in India anytime soon.

The Redmi Note 8 was launched alongside the Note 8 Pro in China last week. While responding to the question of when the Redmi Note 8 Pro India launch will hold, Weibing stated that the brand is working towards an India launch but that would be in 2-3 months time. If we are to speculate, that would be around October or November. Xiaomi India head Manu Jain later hinted that the new Redmi models could hit India in approximately 8 weeks time. So, this may just be an early listing which doesn’t suggest the device will be coming earlier than expected. But then, you never can tell. Xiaomi may just spring up a surprise by launching the models early.

Xiaomi’s Redmi brand unveiled the Redmi Note 8 Pro today at an event in China which also saw the launch of the Redmi TV. At the sidelines of the launch event, Redmi’s GM Lu Weibing spoke to 91mobiles and among the things revealed is that the Redmi Note 8 Pro and the Redmi Note 8 won’t be launched in India very soon.

While responding to the question of when the Redmi Note 8 Pro India launch will hold, Weibing responded that the brand is indeed working towards an India launch but that will be in 2-3 months time. If we are to speculate, that would be around October or November. Considering the product cycle, this is considered a long time especially as it contrasts with what was obtained with the Redmi Note 7. The model was launched in China in January and by February had already hit the Indian market.

More so, Redmi may likely launch another premium mid-range model in January 2020 which will be just a few months after the Redmi Note 8 Pro’s intended launch. However, since the Redmi Note 8 Pro uses a new Helio G90T chipset and packs a refreshing design, those could be strong selling points for the model. It is also not uncommon to see a model delaying up to 2-3 months before rolling out globally especially where issues like inadequate parts inventories are encountered. The Helio G90T mass production may be the reason why the rollout may be delayed. We also expect this delay to extend to the phone’s launch in Europe and other international markets.
