Redmi's General Manager confirms the Redmi Note 8 is coming soon

05 August 2019
This is the first time we hear something about the handset.

Sort by:

Donbenie, 05 Aug 2019Hope it comes with AMOLED this time.. I don't really think they're going to slap amoled on it, because they'd either have to
a) make other significant drawbacks so it doesn't compete with higher range devices (like only HD+ resolution on CC9e), or
b) raise the price too much to move them to the higher price segment (like Mi A3)

Both of these are bad steps imo (judging by the reception of two above mentioned devices), so I think they're just going to stick to their guns with good old LCD. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", as the saying goes. I wouldn't really make much of the Lu Weibing's message because
a) he's a general manager so being excited about the company's product is part of his job (seriously though show me a high rank person of any company's who's going to say something like "yeah it will be alright, not great and not terrible" or "it'll be just about average" about their upcoming product) and
b) Note 7 was already quite "stronger than the next door" for whatever that means, I mean it's been out for around half year and there's still no phone that would beat it at its price segment. Note 8 can't really get MUCH better unless they raise the price, which I don't think they will. So yeah, I believe that Note 8 will be a jawdropping phone for its price, but it won't be significantly different to Note 7.

    Donbenie, 05 Aug 2019Hope it comes with AMOLED this time.. I'd like to see a good IPS display. The hole Xiaomi/Redmi Note serie has been using low quality IPS. Mi a1 and a2 have better display than the note 7.Time to fix that.
    Hopefully they use something like Snapdragon 712 for the note 8.

      And i suppose this one will have a 64Mp sensor but they won't give that to the indian market.

                Anonymous, 05 Aug 2019It probably won't be a worthy successor to RN7, much like R... moreMaybe they will just add sd665 and 64mp cam

                  Hope it comes with AMOLED this time..

                    It probably won't be a worthy successor to RN7, much like RN6 wasn't.
