After the launch of Redmi Note 7 and the premium models of the K20 series, here is finally the new mid-range of the Chinese company, Redmi Note 8 e Notes redmi 8 Pro. Here is everything you need to know about the technical data, price and availability.
Design and construction
The new models of the Redmi Note series arrive with a look similar to that of the predecessor, with a back cover in Gorilla Glass 5 glass and an aluminum perimeter frame. At the rear we have a fingerprint reader, while the vertical quad camera is positioned at the top left of the Redmi Note 8, in the center of the body in the Notes redmi 8 Pro.
Speaking of news, the big brother integrates a system of liquid cooling, in order to maintain low temperatures during the game phases.
Display
The Redmi Note 8 is equipped with a panel LCD da 6.3 inches with resolution Full HD + (2340 x 1080 pixel) and report in 19.5: 9. As for the older brother, the dimensions increase slightly thanks to a diagonal of 6.53 inches. In both cases the screen is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 glass while the Pro model gains the TÜV Rheinland certification.
Unfortunately, these are LCD displays and users who expected an OLED solution - at least on the Pro model - will be left dry.

The Note 8 Pro boasts the same configuration, but with the 1 MP Samsung GW64 main sensor, capable of producing 16 mega-pixel photos with 1.6 µm pixels using Tetracell technology. This will be particularly useful in the night situation, with sharper and more detailed photos even in low light.
