Xiaomi has an EOS (End of Support) product list on its official website. Every once in a while, the company updates this list with older devices.

At the end of February, the firm made changes to the list. It added four more smartphones to this huge list. One of them was a quite popular phone of its time. 

The handset we are talking about is Redmi Note 8. Apart from this device, Xiaomi has also suspended software support for Redmi Note 8T, Redmi 8A Dual, and Redmi K30 5G Speed Edition.

Almost all of the aforementioned phones were released in early 2020. We expected Xiaomi to drop software support for them as some of the initial models in these lineups faced the same in late December.

Throughout their official software support period, Redmi K30 5G Speed Edition, Redmi Note 8, and Redmi Note 8T received two Android updates. But being an entry-level smartphone, the Redmi 8A Dual got only one Android update.

Out of these four handsets, the Redmi Note 8 was arguably the hottest product of its time worldwide. It was the first Redmi Note series device to offer a quad-camera setup. 

Above all, it was priced very competitively. Unfortunately, it was the last Redmi Note lineup phone to offer great value for its asking price. That’s because the COVID-19 global pandemic soon followed and the entire smartphone market changed in the following years.

Although Xiaomi sells expensive smartphones, the company’s cheaper handsets are popular worldwide. In fact, in India. Xiaomi is known as Redmi among commoners, thanks to value for money phones like Redmi A series, Redmi number series, and Redmi Note series. The latter series has now achieved a huge milestone, as per Xiaomi.

Yesterday, ahead of the Mi 11 global launch event, Xiaomi India announced a brag-worthy achievement on its various social media handles.

The Chinese smartphone maker revealed that it has shipped over 200 million units of Redmi Note series phones globally to date. This data is sourced from the firm’s own ‘Xiaomi Data Center’.

It is not surprising to learn that the global shipments of the Redmi Note series have exceeded 200 million units since its inception. This series has been the heart of Xiaomi’s product lineup ever since it was introduced.

Redmi Notes have been unbeatable in their price segment for a very long time. However, that began to change when realme entered the scene. But being an established product lineup, they are still as popular as they were before.

That said, Xiaomi is known for announcing its milestones ahead of releasing new devices. Hence, we think the Redmi Note 10 series is just around the corner. The upcoming series is reported to include two models, namely Redmi Note 10 and Redmi Note 10 Pro. As of now, we are only aware of the storage configurations and color variants of these handsets.

Samsung Galaxy M21 is official and it is one of the best battery phones out there. But is it valid even under other points of view? There is no better way to discover it than comparing it with the other best mid-rangers actually available. If you are looking for the device with the highest value for money, then you can not ignore the Realme 6 and the Redmi Note 8T. With their well-balanced specifications and their incredibly affordable prices, they can be considered the perfect rivals of the Samsung Galaxy M21. In this specs comparison, you will know our opinion about them.

Samsung Galaxy M21 vs Oppo Realme 6 vs Redmi Note 8T

Design

Do you prefer having a better overall look or the most premium materials? If the first option is your favorite one, then go for the Realme 6. With its punch-hole display and its reflective glass back, it looks very gorgeous to be just a midrange phone. But if you prefer having better materials, choose the Redmi Note 8T since it is the only with a glass back. I am not a fan of the design of the Samsung Galaxy M21 due to its huge camera module and its more anonymous plastic body. Note that only the Realme 6 offers protection against water, it is splash resistant.

Display

The real battle is between the Samsung Galaxy M21 and Realme 6. The former should offer a more interesting color reproduction thanks to its AMOLED display boasting more vivid colors and deeper blacks. On the other hand, the latter offers a smoother user experience with a high 90 Hz refresh rate and a 120 Hz touch-sampling rate. That is why Realme 6 is a better choice for gamers. Do you prefer a display with explosive colors or a smooth one?

Redmi Note 8T has an IPS display with a Full HD+ resolution just like the ones you can find on most of the affordable mid-range phones. None of these devices features an in-display fingerprint scanner: the Realme 6 has a side-mounted one, while the others have a rear-mounted biometric sensor.

Specs & Software

Realme 6 is much better than Samsung Galaxy M21 and Redmi Note 8T if we talk about hardware. It has a stronger Helio G90T chipset which boasts very high CPU and GPU performance. It is not a flagship-class processor, but it is an upper-midrange SoC on a phone sold at a very affordable price. On the other hand, Samsung Galaxy M21 comes with the most efficient chipset which, paired with a huge battery, will guarantee a low energy consumption and a very long battery life. Redmi Note 8T runs Android 9 Pie out of the box, while Samsung Galaxy M21 and Realme 6 are based on Android 10.

Camera

On the paper, the best camera setup belongs to Realme 6. It is equipped with a quad camera including a 64 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, a dedicated macro camera, and a depth sensor. Samsung Galaxy M21 is supposed to be better at selfies with its 20 MP camera, but it also comes with a better 5 MP depth sensor. However, we have doubts about the photo quality of the primary sensor. On the paper, Redmi Note 8T is supposed to be more or less at the same level as the Samsung Galaxy M21 and it is inferior to the Realme 6.

Battery

The huge 6000 mAh battery of the Samsung Galaxy M21 not only makes it the winner of this comparison but also one of the best battery phones ever. Right after, there should be Realme 6 with its 4300 mAh battery.

Price

You can find the Redmi Note 8T in India for less than Rs. 11,000 / €135, Realme 6 is priced Rs. 13,990 / €172, and Samsung Galaxy M21 starts from Rs. 12,999 / €160. With its better chipset, cameras and a 90 Hz display, Realme 6 is definitely a more interesting handset and we pick it as the winner of this comparison. Redmi Note 8T is cheaper and offers a higher value for money, but it can not compete with its opponents when it comes to specifications (even though it is the only with NFC and a glass back). Samsung Galaxy M21 has an AMOLED display and a way bigger battery, so we think certain users may prefer it to the Realme 6.

The post Buy for Redmi Note 8T Just $149 from Giztop [$30 OFF Coupon] appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi launched a new version of its mid-range Redmi Note 8 in the global market: its name is Redmi Note 8T and it differs from the vanilla Note 8 for the NFC connectivity and slightly for the aesthetics. But it currently has a lot of competition and, despite its predecessor was a best-seller, this does not mean it is the best option you can choose, as it depends on your needs. Here, we compared the Redmi Note 8T with two handsets we believe to be among the best options in the midrange segment: Realme 5 Pro and Huawei Nova 5z. Both are complete midrange devices with well-balanced specifications, just like the Redmi Note 8T: but which one should you go for? Let’s try to find it out together.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T vs Oppo Realme 5 Pro vs Huawei Nova 5z

Design

In my opinion, the design is one of the strongest points of the Huawei Nova 5z for a single reason: the punch-hole display. With the Nova 5z, you can say goodbye to notches and get a full borderless display with a hole including the front camera. Further, the Huawei Nova 5z is a more compact smartphone due to its slightly smaller display, as well as a lighter device. The Redmi Note 8T and the Realme 5 Pro come with similar aesthetics, both have a reflective glass back, plastic frames and a waterdrop display. In each case, you get a rear-mounted fingerprint reader.

Display

Redmi Note 8T, Realme 5 Pro and Huawei Nova 5z come with similar display sizes as well as the IPS technology. But the Huawei Nova 5z offers a slightly better quality due to its higher DCI P3 coverage and more. It is not something you can clearly notice, but even a slight difference is always appreciated on a smartphone’s display. Unfortunately, none of these devices has an AMOLED display, so you do not even get an in-display fingerprint reader, as said above. The important difference is the punch-hole design found on the Huawei Nova 5z, instead of the classic waterdrop displays of the Redmi Note 8T and Realme 5 Pro.

Specs & Software

Huawei released an amazing midrange chipset this year, and it is on board of the Huawei Nova 5z. We are talking about Kirin 810: it is very powerful and it is built on the 7 nm production process just like flagship chipsets. But despite the amazing SoC, I would not choose the Huawei Nova 5z for a simple reason: memory configurations. I would go for the most expensive configuration of the Realme 5 Pro with Snapdragon 712 since it boasts 8 GB of RAM and an internal storage you can expand with a micro SD, instead of choosing the Huawei Nova 5z and getting less RAM. Redmi Note 8T is inferior to both Realme 5 Pro and Huawei Nova 5z since it mounts a Snapdragon 665 chipset. In each case, you get Android 9 Pie out of the box.

Camera

If we talk about rear cameras, you get more or less the same camera department with each of these devices. They include a primary 48 MP sensor, an ultrawide lens, a dedicated macro camera, and a depth sensor. Huawei Nova 5z has worse specifications for the additional sensors, so Redmi Note 8T and Realme 5 Pro should be slightly better in a lot of scenarios. But Huawei Nova 5z is way superior when it comes to selfies, thanks to its 32 MP front camera. Redmi Note 8T is nothing special for taking selfies, while Realme 5 Pro sits in the middle.

Battery

Battery capacities are similar on all of these devices, so expect a similar battery life. Huawei Nova 5z has a more efficient chipset, so it should offer a longer battery life in a lot of scenarios. However, we still did not test all of these devices thoroughly, so we still can not give you a final verdict. Note that Huawei Nova 5z and Realme 5 Pro have a slightly faster charging technology.

Price

Each of these devices can be purchased with a €199/$220 price tag, but who is the best? In my opinion Huawei Nova 5z due to its punch-hole display, better selfie camera, and amazing chipset, but not for every kind of user. Some may prefer the Realme 5 Pro due to its splash resistance or Redmi Note 8T due to the NFC connectivity. In all cases, you get only marginal differences and all of these devices are great.

At today’s event in Europe, Xiaomi announced the Redmi Note 8T, a slight refresh to the Redmi Note 8 which is sold in China, India, and some other countries. This phone will be exclusive to Europe.

When it comes to design, the Redmi Note 8T is no different from the Redmi Note 8. It has Gorilla Glass 5 on both sides, a waterdrop notch in the display and quad rear cameras. It also has a splash-resistant nano-coating. The phone is available in three colors – Starscape Blue, Moonlight White, and Moonshade Gray.

The Redmi Note 8T has a 6.3-inch FHD+ in-cell LCD display with a 2340 x 1080 resolution and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. The display has Sunlight Mode, Night Mode, and Reading Mode. It also has support for color temperature adjustment.

There is a Snapdragon 665 processor inside and it comes in two configurations – 4GB RAM + 64GB and 4GB RAM + 128GB. There is support for storage expansion (256GB max.)

Xiaomi says it has increased the earpiece volume by 40% and the speaker is now louder with its 0.93cc speaker cavity.

[envira-gallery id=”287997″]

The Redmi Note 8T differs mainly from the Redmi Note 8 in two ways. First, it has NFC which is a required feature in Europe. It also ships with an 18W charger to charge the 4000mAh battery. The phone has an IR blaster, 3.5mm audio jack, and a USB Type-C port.

The Redmi Note 8T is priced at €199 for the 4GB RAM + 64GB version but the price of the 128GB model wasn’t revealed. The phone will be available for purchase in Spain and in Italy on November 8, in France on November 13, and in Germany on November 15.

Multiple reports have revealed that Xiaomi may announce a new Redmi phone called Redmi Note 8T. Just as the Redmi Note 7S with better cameras was made official as a replacement for the Redmi Note 7 that had gone official at the beginning of the year in India. It is speculated that the Chinese manufacturer may replace the existing Redmi Note 8 with Note 8T phone. Last week, the Redmi Note 8T was found listed on Giztop with a price tag of $179. The smartphone is now available on Powerplanetonline.com Spanish retailer site.

Redmi Note 8T Pricing

The Spanish retailer site is selling the global variant of the Redmi Note 8T phone. The handset is only available in 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage version with a price tag of 199.94 euros. The Gray color edition is available for purchase whereas users can register with their email address to know on the arrival of the Blue variant of the phone.

Redmi Note 8T Specifications

The Redmi Note 8T has a 6.3-inch display that supports full HD+ resolution. The waterdrop notch enabled screen offers 19.5:9 aspect ratio. The Snapdragon 665 mobile platform powers the smartphone.

The rear side of the phone has 48-mgeapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel + 2-megapixel quad camera system. The description text of the device states that it has a 20-megapixel selfie camera which seems incorrect as other reports have claimed it has a 13-megapixel front camera like the Redmi Note 8. The handset is equipped with a 4,000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging. The MIUI 10 based Android 9 Pie comes preinstalled on the device.

NFC is one feature that differentiates the Redmi Note 8T from the Note 8. The Redmi Note 8T global edition is listed for $199 on Giztop. It is also 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage version of the phone in Gray color. With a coupon, its priced can be further slashed to $179.

Xiaomi is yet to officially unveil the Redmi Note 8T smartphone. Now that the phone is being spotted on multiple retailer sites, it is likely to go official in the next few days. Tipster Sudhanshu has shared the live shot of “Starscape Blue” edition of the phone. He has claimed that the Note 8T will be in markets like Europe and South Asia.

Earlier this year when Xiaomi announced the Redmi Note 7 in India, it launched with 12MP + 2MP dual rear cameras instead of 48MP + 5MP dual cameras like the version sold in China. Xiaomi later announced a new version for India with a 48MP + 5MP dual cameras and called it the Redmi Note 7S.

The Redmi Note 7S eventually replaced the Redmi Note 7 in the market even though it cost a bit more. However, those who bought the Redmi Note 7 were not happy as a phone they bought just a few months ago was replaced with one with better camera specs for a few extra dollars.

A similar thing may happen with the Redmi Note 8 and the yet-to-be-announced Redmi Note 8T. Xiaomi is set to announce the Redmi Note 8T soon, which is practically a Redmi Note 8 with NFC support. Nothing more, nothing less.

While we do not know which markets will be getting the Redmi Note 8T, there is a possibility that production of the Redmi Note 8 may eventually cease and the Redmi Note 8T will take over.

This week’s poll wants to know what you think about Xiaomi replacing the Redmi Note 8 with the Redmi Note 8T. So please vote and also share your opinions with us in the comment box.

The Redmi Note 8T should not exist but it does. Unlike other manufacturers that have adopted the “T” (OnePlus) or even “S” suffix for refreshed models, Redmi’s latest phone doesn’t bring much when compared to its non-T variant. Actually, the only difference is the addition of NFC support. Yes, NFC. That is the only thing that distinguishes the Redmi Note 8 from the Redmi Note 8T.

We have been able to get our hands on live photos of retail units as further proof that the phone exists. Popular leaker, Sudhanshu Ambhore, has also posted live photos of the device which reveal more specs.

1 of 2

The Redmi Note 8T will come in a white box that has a picture of the device in all the available color variants on the front. The name of the phone is written at the bottom as well as on the sides. On the back, the retail box reveals the color of the variant inside is Moonshadow Grey and it has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

Sudhanshu’s photos are of the blue variant and give us a look at the device itself. The Redmi Note 8T has a 6.3-inch Dot Drop Display with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both sides. It has 48MP AI quad cameras which include ultra wide-angle and macro lenses.

The sticker on the front of the phone also mentions the phone has a 4000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charge via a USB Type-C port. It also supports multifunctional NFC and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 AIE processor.

1 of 3

The live photo shows the bottom of the phone is home to an audio jack, a microphone, the USB port, and the speaker grille. The phone will come with a transparent soft case and a white Type-C cable and charger.

The Redmi Note 8T is going to be available in markets outside China. While Xiaomi has not yet revealed which markets will be getting it, we have a few guesses. The Redmi Note 8 should be available in Europe in countries such as Spain and Italy where the Redmi Note 8 isn’t sold. NFC payment is widely used in the aforementioned countries, so it makes sense that Xiaomi will sell the devices there.

The device is already available for pre-order on Giztop for $199 but you can get $20 off with a coupon.

Furthermore, the screen has 2.5D Corning Gorilla 5 glass panels on top for added protection and carries support for 450-nits brightness. As if that weren’t enough, it offers sun legibility and eye protection mode with a 1,500:1 contrast ratio.

Under the hood, the phone packs a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 AIE Octa-core processor, along with Adreno 610 GPU. On the optics front, the Redmi Note 8T Global houses 48MP+8MP+2MP+2MP quad cameras at the back, and a 13MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calling.

The Redmi Note 8T Global is great for those who prefer user power-packed handset. The phone draws its juices from a robust 4000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging through USB-C. Furthermore, it runs MIUI 10 based on the Android 9 Pie operating system for seamless operation.

While we wait for the official launch of the rumored Redmi Note 8T, Giztop has already listed the phone up for pre-order on its website. What’s even more interesting is that the phone is said to ship from next week itself. 

Giztop has listed the Redmi Note 8T Global version for $199. However, the official price tag at launch should be slightly lower than this. Note that there’s only one storage variant listed on the website, featuring 4GB of RAM and 64GB of ROM in gray color. 

Editor’s Pick: Best cases for Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro to stylize and enhance protection

The phone is identical to the regular Redmi Note 8 version, featuring quad-cameras, a fingerprint sensor at the back, and a waterdrop display upfront. So the big difference between the ‘Redmi Note 8T’ and the regular ‘Note 8’ will be the added support for NFC. Internationally, people use NFC on a wider scale than in countries like India. So the new device should be targeted at the global markets. 

Apart from this, the 8T will have the same specifications as the regular version, which includes Snapdragon 665 octa-core processor, a 6.3-inch dot-notch FHD+ display, a 48MP+8MP+2MP+2MP quad-camera setup at the back, and a 4000mAh battery. Note that the Giztop listing shows that the phone will come preloaded with MIUI 10 based on Android 9. 

Given that Giztop has already listed the phone up for sale, we expect a soft launch of the Redmi Note 8T very soon.

It appears that the arrival of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T smartphone is drawing near. Yesterday, a tipster had shared the images of the rear panel of the smartphone. Now, the same leakster has shared leaked renders of the Redmi Note 8T that reveals it front and rear design. The Redmi Note 8T is identical with Redmi Note 8 phone.

In the below shown images, the Redmi Note 8T can be seen in Black and gradient colors of White and Blue. The rear side of the phone is fitted with a vertical quad camera system and a fingerprint scanner. The frontside of the phone is also similar to the Note 8 phone. It has a waterdrop notch on its display and the chin of the device is slightly thick compared to other bezels. The Redmi branding can be seen in the bottom bezel like the Note 8 smartphone.

The Redmi Note 8T was previously rumored to arrive with Snapdragon 730G processor. However, considering the fact that its no design is not different from the Redmi Note 8, it is unlikely that the Note 8T will come with a better processor. Moreover, the leakster has maintained that the Redmi Note 8T is same phone as Note 8 and the only major difference is that the ‘T’ variant comes with NFC connectivity. It is advisable to wait for further leaks to know more about the phone.

At the end of the previous month, a tipster had revealed that Xiaomi may soon announce a phone called Redmi Note 8T in India.
