If there's one phone series that can be held responsible for bringing Xiaomi to the limelight and making it the country's highest-selling smartphone brand, it has to be the Redmi Note series. Xiaomi launches more than a dozen new phones every year but the Redmi Note phone is the most important one that pushes the sales. This week, the latest Redmi Note 8 Pro will make its debut in India and you can expect long waiting periods on this one as well. However, this could be the last Redmi Note you can buy.
Rumours in the smartphone world have suggested that Xiaomi might be looking to revamp its lineup and reset the Redmi Note lineup. According to IceUniverse, the Redmi Note lineup will be reset completely, which means the Redmi Note 8 Pro could be the last one. There won't be any Redmi Note 9 or Redmi Note 10 in the coming years. For a Xiaomi fan, that could be surprising.
There's no reason mentioned behind this move. However, there's a very good chance that Xiaomi has something big planned for the successor to the Redmi Note 8 Pro and hence, a complete reset for the entire Redmi Note series could make sense. Xiaomi already has a number of new phones targeted in the affordable segment and with the Redmi Note series, the brand could be looking to go premium in the affordable phone segment.
However, Xiaomi will bring back the Mi Note series and according to IceUniverse, the Mi Note 10 is the next phone and will be coming soon to the market. How soon? Well, the rumours suggest that the Mi Note 10 could launch by the end of the October. There's no information on the specifications of this phone although it could be based on the Mi CC9 series from China.
While there's no confirmation yet on whether the Redmi
Note series is being reset or not, Xiaomi India is prepping to launch the Redmi Note 8 Pro in the country. The Redmi Note 8 Pro is a drastic upgrade from the Redmi Note 7 Pro with a quad-camera setup and a new MediaTek Helio G90T chipset. This will be for the first time Xiaomi will launch the Redmi Note phone with a MediaTek chipset. The Helio G90T is a chipset meant for gaming and Xiaomi could target the gamer crowd with this phone.
