Xiaomi is bringing back its two-year-old Redmi Note 8 with a new processor. The smartphone maker had launched the Redmi Note 8 in 2019 and the smartphone was well-received in India. It came with a quad rear camera setup, a Snapdragon 665 processor, and a lot of other impressive features for the price. We knew that the company is planning a 2021 model of the phone because of multiple leaks and rumours. Xiaomi has now officially launched a 2021 version of the smartphone. The only major change is that Xiaomi has replaced the Snapdragon 665 SoC with a MediaTek Helio G85 processor, which it had used on last year’s Redmi Note 9. This year’s Redmi Note 10 had launched with a Snapdragon 678 processor. That’s the only thing that has changed. All the other specifications and features of the phone remain the same. The Redmi Note 8 2021 comes with a 6.3-inch 1080x2340 LCD touchscreen with Gorilla Glass 5 on top. It will be available in two storage variants 64GB or 128GB storage, both available with 4GB of RAM. The smartphone will be available in three colour options - Neptune Blue, Moonlight White, and Space Black.
