Xiaomi has sold over 100 million Redmi Note devices globally since 2014 – which is when the first Redmi Note came into being. Clearly the Redmi Note has been a global bestseller around the world – especially in India where the lineup has become kind of synonymous with affordability and reliability. And over the years, Xiaomi has only upped its game.
The newest Redmi Notes, aka the Redmi Note 8 Pro and Redmi Note 8, are no different. While the Redmi Note 8 starts at Rs 9,999, the Redmi Note 8 Pro starts at Rs 14,999. Both the phones will be available for buying in India from October 21.
Both the Redmi Note 8 Pro and Redmi Note 8 pack some good hardware specs and yet they’re very aggressively priced – much like any other Redmi Note in the past.
100 MILLION Mi Fans across the world chose to own and use a #RedmiNote device as their daily driver.
