Xiaomi's global Twitter handle has announced a new colour variant of the Redmi Note 8 Pro. This new colour option called Ocean Blue looks very much identical to the Deep Sea Blue colour option that was launched in Taiwan earlier this month. And now, the Ocean Blue colour joins the already available hues — Shadow Black, Gamma Green, and Halo White, and takes the tally to four colour options of the Redmi Note 8 Pro. To recall, Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 8 Pro in China in late August, while the official debut in India happened in mid-October.
As it can be seen in Xiaomi global's Twitter post, the Redmi Note 8 Pro will soon be offered in a new Ocean Blue colour variant. Now, as we mentioned above, the new colour variant looks pretty much identical to the Deep Sea Blue colour option that was announced for the Taiwanese market earlier this month.
Since Xiaomi's global Twitter handle tweeted out the announcement, it appears the company is teasing the launch of the new Redmi Note 8 Pro Ocean Blue colour variant for regions outside of China and Taiwan. One must note however that Xiaomi hasn't specified in which region this new colour will be launched. It can be launched in India, China, or maybe other markets, and this remains to be seen. Also, there's no mention of the launch date as well.
