Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro to Launch With Helio G90T Chipset in India, Confirms MediaTek MD

The Helio P60 was the best chipset MediaTek has ever launched till date and it was seen in many popular phones like Realme 1, Realme 3i and Oppo F series of phones. The Helio P70 is also being used on several Oppo and Realme phones. Not only in India, even in China, but MediaTek chipset phones also did well.

Xiaomi chose MediaTek’s entry-level chipsets for the Redmi 6 series of phones and the fans did not like this move at all. However, results were extremely positive as the Redmi 6A with Helio A22 became the best-selling phone for three quarters in a row in India. Now, MediaTek is expecting the same with Redmi Note 8 Pro as well.

“Once the Redmi Note 8 Pro comes out and users see the great features and performance it delivers I think the mindset will change and the phone will do well in India as well, similar to China,” Anku Jain further added.

Furthermore, he believes that the Redmi Note 8 Pro will change the game for both MediaTek and Xiaomi. Considering how successful the Redmi Note 7 Pro was, it will be very tough for the Redmi Note 8 Pro to fill those shoes. But the Note 8 Pro packs some incredible hardware and possibly the powerful chipset in the price range.
