Xiaomi has refreshed its mid-range phone that was announced in 2019, the Redmi Note 8. The 2021 edition is powered by a Helio G85 chipset, and it will be available to purchase starting May 25.
May 24th, 2021
If there’s one company that can keep up with Samsung’s crazy yearly release schedule, it’s Xiaomi. Following the launch of the Redmi Note 10s in India and seeing the popularity of the Poco M3 Pro, Xiaomi is back at it with the new Redmi Note 8 2021.
This phone is practically identical to the Redmi Note 8 which launched back in 2019 and has surpassed more than 25 million sales. From a design standpoint, you’re not going to really be seeing too much that’s different. Instead, Xiaomi decided to make all of those changes worthy of your hard-earned dollars on the internals.
