Xiaomi is all set to launch the Redmi 8 – the successor to the Redmi 7 – today in India. The Redmi 8 is tipped to come equipped with dual rear cameras, and as per leaked renders, the phone will also feature a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. The upcoming entry-level Redmi phone will feature a waterdrop notch on the front and was recently spotted on the Google Play console as well, revealing some of its key specifications ahead of its official launch.

Redmi 8 launch today, live stream details, price in India (expected)

Redmi 8 launch event starts at 11am IST on Wednesday. The event will be live streamed on YouTube, and you can catch it below. As for the Redmi 8 price in India, it can be expected to fall somewhere around Rs. 7,999, similar to the Redmi 7's asking price at launch back in April.

Redmi 8 specifications (expected)

The Redmi 8 will reportedly run MIUI 10.0.1.3 based on Android 9 Pie. The entry-level Xiaomi phone is tipped to come in four different colour options - Ash, Blue, Green, and Red. The Redmi 8 is also rumoured to feature a plastic build and will reportedly be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 processor.

However, the latter appears to be a mistake as the Redmi 7 comes equipped with a Snapdragon 6xx series processor, so it makes little sense for Xiaomi to equip its successor with a less powerful Snapdragon 4xx series processor. The Redmi 8 will reportedly feature a 6.21-inch HD+ (720x1520 pixels) TFT display with a 19:9 aspect ratio and 320ppi pixel density.

It will sport a 12-megapixel primary snapper and an 8-megapixel front camera. The Redmi 8 is tipped to come equipped with a 5,000mAh battery as per the phone's TENAA listing. The Redmi phone will come in three memory configurations - 2GB + 16GB, 3GB + 32GB, and 4GB + 64GB. The built-in storage of the phone will be expandable via a microSD card (up to 512GB). Redmi 8 is tipped to measure 156.3x75.4x9.4mm and will weigh 190 grams.
