Xiaomi Redmi 8 to Offer Fast Charging, USB Type-C Port and Flagship Sony Camera Sensor

Xiaomi Redmi 8 is officially launching in India on October 9 and the company is slowly revealing the key features of the handset ahead of the official release. A series of tweets posted by Redmi India on Twitter handle confirms the Redmi 8 will come with a USB Type-C port similar to the Redmi 8A and it will have fast charging support. Furthermore, the Xiaomi Redmi 8 will also pack a flagship Sony camera sensor- probably the Sony IMX519 which we earlier saw on the likes of Realme 3 Pro, OnePlus 6T and others. If Xiaomi manages to bring the 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor to under Rs 10,000, it will destroy the competition with ease in the said price range. That said, Xiaomi did not confirm the Sony sensor which it’s going to use on the Redmi 8, but considering the Redmi 8A packing the Sony IMX363 sensor, we’re excited to see what Xiaomi has in store for us.

Xiaomi Redmi 8: Rumoured Specifications and Features

Firstly, let’s talk about the confirmed features of the Xiaomi Redmi 8. The Redmi 8 will feature dual rear cameras and one of them will be a flagship Sony camera sensor (details of which are unknown at the moment). There may be a depth sensor accompanying the primary camera sensor. Another feature confirmed by Xiaomi is a big battery- probably a 4500mAh one. And the Redmi 8 will have support for fast charging and USB Type-C port, again similar to the Redmi 8A.

The Redmi 7 also arrived with a teardrop notch display and the Redmi 8 will also have the same. Additionally, the Redmi 8 will have a new design called ‘Aura Mirror,’ hinting at a reflective back panel.

Other rumoured features of the Redmi 8 include Snapdragon 439 chipset which will be a major downgrade over the Redmi 7 considering the Snapdragon 632 chipset we got on the latter. Probably to achieve the affordable price tag, Xiaomi is going with a lower-end processor in the form of Snapdragon 439 SoC. The phone may arrive in four colour options- Green, Ash, Blue and Red.
