New Redmi Note 8 details have surfaced online ahead of the smartphone's launch. Teasers published on the company's official Weibo page suggest that the phone will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 665 processor, a step above the Snapdragon 660 SoC found on the Redmi Note 7S. Furthermore, Redmi General Manager Lu Weibing shared camera samples of the Redmi Note 8 while also confirming that the phone will sport a quad camera setup, just like Redmi Note 8 Pro, but it will be equipped with a 48-megaixel main sensor instead of the 64-megapixel primary shooter present on the Pro model.

Xiaomi's Redmi sub-brand took to Weibo to announce that the Redmi Note 8 will also come with a quad rear camera setup aligned vertically and a dual-LED flash sitting beside the cameras. The post suggests that the phone will sport a 48-megapixel main sensor, a super wide-angle camera, depth of field sensor, and a super macro lens.

The photo shared alongside the teaser shows the Redmi Note 8 back panel, and there's no rear fingerprint sensor seen. This could mean that the phone may sport an in-display fingerprint sensor. The image also shows that the phone will sport a White gradient panel finish but it should come in other colour models as well at launch.

Weibing has also shared camera samples on his Weibo account showing off the camera capabilities of the Redmi Note 8. Looking at the pictures, the Redmi Note 8 seems to be able to take good quality night shots with no loss of detail. Weibing also confirms that the Redmi Note 8 series will be equipped with a Super Night Scene Mode that will help users take superior low-light photos.
