Redmi Note 8, Redmi TV set to launch on 29 August confirms Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun

Xiaomi had released its Mi TV series in India last year, and it has **shaken the TV category** as expected. But it looks like Xiaomi does not want to keep the TV line-up limited to the Mi series. Reports are hinting that the Redmi TV series is coming soon too. According to a report in GizmoChina, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun has confirmed the launch on the Redmi TV which is expected to have a 70-inch screen, on 29 August. Jun shared a Weibo post which shows a glimpse of the marketing material with the caption, “Redmi Red Rice TV is a 70-inch giant screen, it is amazing! Released on August 29.” [caption id=“attachment_5869071” align=“alignnone” width=“1280”] Mi LED TV 4A Pro.

So it’s likely that the Redmi Note 8 would also see a launch on the same day. There has not been a teaser poster regarding the Redmi Note 8 yet. Now that Jun has given the green signal regarding the announcement, we shall see a Note 8 poster soon. It is expected that this smartphone might come with MediaTek Helio G90T processor as we heard that  **Redmi will be launching a gaming smartphone**  soon. A Redmi gaming smartphone was confirmed when Xiaomi India head Manu Jian tweeted about the same. The Redmi Note 8 could also be coming with the **just-announced 64 MP sensor** on the camera front. Xiaomi had recently shown off its 64 MP camera and promised that it would be seen on a Redmi phone before the end of the year. Could Redmi Note 8 be that phone? Speculations hint that it could be, but Redmi has not confirmed anything yet. [caption id=“attachment_7185761” align=“alignnone” width=“690”] The poster for the launch of the Redmi TV.
