Hi there. I am very interested in the Redmi 8. My only concern is that the Xaomi devices are reported to come with a fair amount of 'bloatware'. Please advise on this in order for me to make an informed decision before purchasing. Is this the case and does it depend on where it comes from - i.e. the retailer, or is it pre-installed by Xaomi themselves. How does it affect the device. Thanks!
Hello Michael,
Thank you for your question.
All our devices are imported from Europe and the UK and are open to all GSM networks and are not affiliated to any service provider and therefore would not have any bloatware. Any Xiaomi apps should have no effect on the operation of the device whatsoever.
Stay safe and regards,
The Connected Devices Team.
Good day. Does the Redmi 8 come with a screen protector and cover case included? I know it is difficult to get those in SA due to the phone being relatively unknown. I have seen reviews mentioning some Xaomi devices do come with protector items included.
Hello Michael,
Thank you for your question.
The phone comes with a complimentary Gel case, USB-A to USB-C cable, sim eject tool and a 10W charger
Stay safe and regards,

What is the difference btwn the Redmi 8 and 8T? The 8T is more expensive but has a weaker battery according to online specs - all else seems the same. Look forward to your response.

How long Xaimo 002066 take to reach my home in Pretoria after been ordered? Regards Phuti
Hello Phuti,
Thank you for your question.
The Redmi 8 is a special import that we would import especially for you. Under normal circumstances it would take between 7-10 working days to reach you. However, due to the lock down and no international flights been allowed into SA, delivery will only be after the lock down is lifted. We would advise you to place the order asap so that it can be ready to ship to SA once the ban is lifted. Hopefully the new relaxed lock down restrictions will address this.
