Xiaomi’s sub-brand, Redmi, has announced the follow-up to their most popular smartphone line with the new Xiaomi Redmi Note 8.

The successor to the famous Redmi Note 7 will try to have the same appeal that its predecessor has. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 will have a capable processor and set of cameras, without breaking the back.

Obviously, this is a toned-down version of the also-new Redmi Note 8 Pro. Still, it has a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 octa-core processor. You can pair it with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage.

Another big thing about this device is its quad-camera setup on the back. It uses a 48-megapixel ISOCELL GM2 sensor as its primary shooter. Aided by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, 2-megapixel macro camera, and a depth sensor.
