Xiaomi's sub-brand Redmi is busy working on its next mid-rangers, the Redmi 8 series. The Redmi 8 itself was spotted in some hands-on images earlier today, and now it's the Redmi Note 8 Pro's turn. Based on Redmi's past naming conventions, this is likely to be the highest-end of its upcoming mid-rangers.
It seems to have leaked on a set where its TV commercial was being filmed. If so, that's probably a first in the mobile world. Anyway, you can see that the design of its back has the same overall language as what we've seen in the Redmi K20 and K20 Pro flagships.
The cameras aren't in the top left anymore, they're horizontally centered, and are part of a vertical island, that houses three shooters as well as the fingerprint sensor. So Redmi won't use an in-display scanner for this generation of its affordable mid-rangers.
The Redmi logo's placement is also reminiscent of the K20 series, as is the finish of the colorway shown. While there isn't a green K20 or K20 Pro, the fact that the color seems to be darker around the middle does sort of bring back memories of those devices.
The Redmi Note 8 Pro hasn't been leaked so far, so we're not sure what to expect in terms of hardware used. Clearly it will have triple rear cameras, one of which could have 64 MP resolution. Recently Redmi boss Lu Weibing has mentioned that the Redmi Note 8 series will be all about long battery life, better camera performance, a higher screen-to-body ratio, and an improved feel in the hand.
