After making it’s official debut in China back in August this year, the Redmi Note 8 Pro finally made it’s way to the European market starting today.
Dubbed as the “middle-class king”, the Redmi Note 8 Pro will maintain it’s extremely competitive pricing in Europe. The device will come with a price tag of 249 euros ($273) for it’s 6GB+64GB model, and 269 euros ($295) for the higher-end model with 6GB+128GB configuration.
If you still remember, the Redmi Note 8 Pro is available in 3 color options at launch including Pearl White, Ice Emerald, and Electric Light Grey. However, that will see a change soon. Apparently, a new Midnight Blue colorway is also said to hit the market somewhere in November as well.
Needless to say, this device is probably one of the most valued-for-money smartphone you could ever find in the current market. This could be evidenced by it’s stellar debut sale in the Chinese market which saw 300,000 units being sold on a single day.
