The Xiaomi Redmi 8 is a modest improvement on the 8A, launches in India October 12

Xiaomi released the Redmi 8A in India just a couple of weeks ago. The phone offers some impressive specs for about a hundred bucks, including a 12-megapixel camera and a honkin' 5,000 milliamp-hour battery. Now, the company is gearing up to launch the Redmi 8 (without the A) — and it's basically the same phone with a couple of added perks and a marginally higher price tag.

Specs

Display	6.2-inch 19:9 HD+ "Dot Notch" display
Rear cameras	12MP, additional 2MP (for depth sensing)
Front camera	8MP
Processor	Snapdragon 439
RAM	3GB, 4GB
Storage	32GB, 64GB, both expandable via Micro SD
Battery	5000mAh, 18W charging
Miscellaneous	FM radio, headphone jack
Colors	Onyx Black, Ruby Red, Sapphire Blue
Price	₹7,999 (about $113) for the 4GB/64GB model

You've got the same screen, battery, processor, and primary camera, but the Redmi 8 adds a secondary rear camera for enhanced portrait mode.
