Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro: 64-megapixel camera, Helio G90T processor, 4500mAh battery

Smartphones with 64-megapixel cameras are finally upon us thanks to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro.

The new Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro beat the Realme XT as the first 64-megapixel smartphone to officially come out. Its quad-camera setup also consists of an 8-megapixel ultra-wide snapper, and a macro and depth-scanner with 2-megapixel sensors, respectively.

It’s also the first smartphone to come with the new MediaTek Helio G90T processor. As the name suggests, this new chipset is geared toward gaming.

The device also has liquid cooling and the ability to use both WiFi and LTE at once for an uninterrupted gaming experience.

To keep it all juiced up, the Xiami Redmi Note 8 Pro has a generous 4,500mAh battery. Meanwhile, a decent 6.53-inch FHD+ IPS display is seen on the front.
