Xiaomi may relaunch Redmi Note 8 in select markets 

Xiaomi may soon bring back a two-year-old Redmi Note 8, in a new avatar though.

Smartphone makers often re-brand or re-launch their smartphones with few tweaks to target a new set of customers or a different price point. But, re-launching a two-year-old phone is something you don’t get to see that often. Xiaomi is planning to do exactly that. It may soon bring back a two-year-old Redmi Note 8, in a new avatar though. A Xiaomi phone with model number M1908C3JGG has appeared at the FCC. According to leaker Kacper Skrzypek the Redmi Note 8 has been confirmed by one of Xiaomi pages. He didn’t mention which paper he got the information from but Kacper’s leaks have historically been accurate. The FCC listing reveals that Xiaomi will make some changes to the Redmi Note 8 before re-launching it. The smartphone is tipped to come with a MediaTek Helio G85 chipset, a 4,000mAh battery, and MIUI 12.5, which should be based on Android 11. It will only be launched in select markets including EU and Russia. It is still not clear if Xiaomi plans to introduce the Redmi Note 8 in India or not.
