Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro will be the first smartphone to come powered by the MediaTek Helio G90T chipset. The chipmaker, MediaTek, on Weibo has confirmed this news as the launch of Redmi Note 8 Pro is scheduled for August 29. Earlier this month, MediaTek unveiled the gaming-oriented Helio G90T and Helio G90 chipsets in India. Xiaomi’s Global VP and India Managing Director, Manu Kumar Jain, also attended the event and confirmed that the company would launch a smartphone with the Helio G90T chipset. So, we’re expecting that the Indian variant of Redmi Note 8 Pro may ship with the same Helio G90T chip. Over the last 18 months or so, MediaTek chips have been getting good reviews- be it the entry-level Helio A22, Helio P22 or the mid-range Helio P60 or Helio P70, every processor was appreciated by the audience and smartphone brand companies alike.

Redmi Note 8 Pro- the First Phone to Launch With Helio G90T SoC
The MediaTek Helio G90 series takes on the Snapdragon 730 series of chipsets from Qualcomm. The Redmi Note 8 Pro will be the first phone to come out with Helio G90T chipset, aimed at the gamers. The Helio G90T is an octa-core chipset built on 12nm manufacturing process and it has the ARM Mali-G76 3EEMC4 GPU. Traditionally, MediaTek chipsets over the last 18 months offered decent performance, but gaming performance is something they lacked. However, MediaTek seems to have solved that issue with the G90 series of chipsets.
