Xiaomi introduces the Redmi Note 8 Pro in the new Ocean Blue color

Today, almost 3 months after the start of sales of the controversial bestseller Redmi Note 8 Pro, Xiaomi showed off the device in a new Ocean Blue color, confirming recent leaks.

Just a week ago, Xiaomi introduced a new version of Redmi Note 8 Pro for the Chinese market with an increased storage capacity of 8/256 GB (previously two versions were available: 6/64 GB and 8/128 GB). However, it remains unknown whether the blue version of Redmi Note 8 Pro will receive an enlarged storage capacity.

Also, live photos of the smartphone in the new color have appeared on the network, which will complement the three existing colors since the device was released: Shadow Black (black), Gamma Green (green) and Halo White (white).
