Redmi Note 8T With Quad Rear Cameras, NFC Support Launched: Price, Specifications

Redmi Note 8T has been launched as a new model in Xiaomi's Redmi Note 8 series. The latest Redmi device is touted to the "all-star" smartphone that caters to the growing requirements of worldwide consumers. Key highlights of the Redmi Note 8T include a 19.5:9 display, quad rear camera setup, and an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 AIE SoC. The handset is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection on its front and back. All this makes the new smartphone look quite similar to the Redmi Note 8. However, Xiaomi has provided NFC support. The company said at an event in Madrid, Spain that NFC is one of the highly demanded features by its customers.
