Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Now Has a 3GB+32GB Model The news was reported by 91mobiles, saying that the new model will be offline-only for now. The Redmi Note 8 is the current best sub-Rs 10,000 smartphone out there. As for the pricing, the 3GB+32GB model can be picked up via offline stores for Rs 9,799. Xiaomi is yet to start selling the 4GB and 6GB RAM models of the Redmi Note 8 via offline stores. Whenever the two models reach the offline stores, the prices will be tad higher compared to those of online prices. For the unaware, the Redmi Note 8 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage is priced at Rs 9,999 only, followed by the 6GB+128GB model at Rs 12,999. Even after a month of launch, both the Redmi Note 8 and Note 8 Pro smartphones are still available for purchase via flash sales. This could be the reason why Xiaomi brought a 3GB+32GB variant of the smartphone to the offline market. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je136-iykpI&t=2s Xiaomi Redmi Note 8: Specifications and Features The Redmi Note 8 features impressive hardware for an under Rs 10,000 smartphone.
