Xiaomi told why Redmi 8 got a Snapdragon 439 chip instead of a Snapdragon 632

After the announcement of Redmi 8, some fans of the company were disappointed that the new product received a weaker processor,

than its predecessor Redmi 7. Therefore, Xiaomi had to explain how much she took such a step.

What told

According to Liu Weibing, Head of Redmi(Lu Weibing), the manufacturer, before deciding on the "stuffing" of the smartphone, conducted several surveys. As it turned out, most users chose to have an energy-intensive 5000 mAh battery with fast charging at 18 W, a USB-C port and high-quality assembly than a more powerful chip. Therefore, engineers chose the SoC Snapdragon 439 instead of the Snapdragon 632.

Liu Weibing also said that the company optimized this processor as much as possible, and also specially removed the modification from 2 GB of RAM and added Mi Turbo 2.0 graphics acceleration mode to the system.

Recall that Redmi 8 also received a 6.22-inch display with a drop-out, a protective glass Corning Gorilla Glass 5, a dual main camera with 12 megapixels + 2 megapixels and an 8-megapixel front camera.
