After passing through TENAA[1], the Xiaomi Redmi 8[2] has surfaced on China Telecom’s website, indicating that it’s very close to release. It also got the go-ahead from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).
The carrier and MIIT were kind enough to post these photos of the phone on a white background, instead of TENAA’s usual blue. By the way, we’ve seen hands-on photos[3] before.

Anyway, the Redmi 8 will have a 6.21” 720p+ screen wrapped in a plastic body available in Red, Green, Blue and Black. The chipset, likely the same Snapdragon 439 as in the Redmi 8A[4], will be hooked up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage – double what the A-phone has (lower capacities will also be available, though).
The camera department is improved as well with a 12MP main and 2MP depth sensor, along with an 8MP selfie camera. The phone will have a large battery, 5,000mAh, charged over USB-C. There’s also a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The Xiaomi Redmi 8 will retail for CNY 1,600, according to China Telecom’s listing – that’s around $224. However, considering the Redmi 8A is just under $100[5], we think that price may be an error. The Redmi 7 (6/64GB) is a much more reasonable CNY 900 currently.
