More than 20 million units of the Redmi Note 7 series were sold globally in just seven months. It looks like the successor will be equally successful, with over 1.4 million registrations of interest already received days ahead of the lineup’s August 29 launch.
But what do we know about the Redmi Note 8 series thus far? Thankfully, the Xiaomi sub-brand itself has revealed key details about the top-end model, the Redmi Note 8 Pro. In fact, Redmi general manager Lu Weibing recently shared the benchmark score the smartphone achieved on Antutu.
