Redmi Note 8 Pro Launched: 6.5-inch FHD+ HDR Display, 64MP Quad Camera Setup, Helio G90T, UFS 2.1, a lot more

Xiaomi just brought its much-awaited Redmi Note 8 Pro smartphone across its shores in India. The device features a 3D glass back design with Gorilla Glass 5 and splash resistant IP52 rating. It has a 6.53-inch Full HD+ LCD with support for HDR. The display is packed within a form factor that is 2.05mm narrower and leaves a 1.8mm side bezel on sides, which translates to a screen to body ratio of impressively over 91.4%. The smartphone derives its power from a MediaTek Helio G90T Soc and a segment-first liquid cooling setup underneath the display.

The camera specs include a 64MP Samsung GW1 primary lens (f/1.7) with ISOCELL Plus technology that gives a higher color fidelity along with a 15% improvement in light sensitivity. The smart ISO is supported by a Dual Conversion Gain technology that intelligently adjusts the sensitivity based on ambient lighting. This camera lens is paired with an 8MP 120-degree Ultra-Wide lens, 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP sensor for a macro up-close shot over 2cm. Front, on the other hand, has a 20MP sensor unit for good selfies.

The smartphone has a dedicated Wi-Fi X antenna for stable connectivity for your gaming sessions and comes with a 4500mAh battery with support for MediaTek Pump Express 18W fast charging. It is also the first smartphone in India with Alexa enabled.
