Xiaomi is fueling interest in the company’s upcoming 10th-anniversary celebration. In addition to the obvious presentation of new super-powerful flagships, the company plans to update some of its old products. For example, the Chinese giant announced that despite the fact that the already legendary Redmi Note 8 Pro has a successor, Xiaomi is planning a new color for the old mid-range smartphone.

Back in January, China launched a color variant of the smartphone called Twilight Orange. At the moment, it is no longer available for purchase. Most likely, Xiaomi will “relaunch” this color, this time on the global market.
