Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite was launched in three different variants back in September
Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite that was launched as the Mi 8 Youth Edition in China is set to receive a new variant with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage. The new variant will debut on November 16 and will sit alongside the existing 6GB RAM variants that have 64GB and 128GB storage options and the 4GB RAM variant that comes with a 64GB storage option. It will initially be exclusive to the Chinese market. However, it is safe to expect its rollout in other markets since Xiaomi already teased the global launch of the Mi 8 Lite.
The official Xiaomi account on Weibo has confirmed that the Mi 8 Lite 4GB RAM and 128GB storage variant will debut in China on November 16. The company hasn't specified any price details of the new variant. However, the Mi 8 Lite was launched in China in September with a price tag of CNY 1,399 (roughly Rs. 14,600) for the 4GB RAM and 64GB storage variant, while its 6GB RAM and 64GB storage model comes at CNY 1,699 (roughly Rs. 17,700) and the top-end, 6GB RAM and 128GB storage is priced at CNY 1,999 (roughly Rs. 20,900). The company also teased the global launch of the Mi 8 Lite soon after its debut in China.
