Xiaomi Redmi Note 8

Xiaomi does not need to worry about losing its fans - they are not going anywhere. And the Redmi Note 8 is an excellent choice as it is a worthy sequel and also a proper phone to own and carry around. It's the newcomers that have more options now, and they won't be as impressed with the Note 8 as those once were with the older models.

The Redmi Note 8 offers impressive and unmatched value for money if you’re looking for a phone under 10k. It heavily competes against the Realme 5 but the latter's 12 MP camera is easily eclipsed by the 48 MP rear camera on the Note 8. The Realme also offers a lower resolution display and no fast charging, making the Redmi Note 8 an easy choice for anyone looking for a phone in the 10k range.

If you're looking for a good overall smartphone under Rs 10,000 in India right now, the Redmi Note 8 is the best option to consider. I believe the Redmi Note 8 ticks all the right boxes to get the best under RS 10,000 phone crown.

The Redmi Note 8 is another successful entry-level smartphone from Xiaomi that offers plenty of power for those who are operating on a budget. The hardware that Xiaomi has included for around US$165 is remarkable. The same applies to its high-quality workmanship and build quality, while we are fans of its large IPS panel too.

The phones score very high on design and battery life, which are both crucial aspects for a lot of users out there. We’d say that if you’re on a tight budget, the Redmi 8A makes a lot of sense, but if you can stretch a bit, the Redmi Note 8 (review) is a great buy. In this scenario, the Redmi 8 sort of gets squeezed from both sides, which is unfortunate, because it’s a pretty solid phone too.

As a standalone device, it's almost perfect but we just cannot ignore the competition in today's time. Having said that, if you are ready to spend some extra bucks, the market offers some very good options such as the Redmi Note 8 Pro (base variant), Vivo Z1x, Realme XT, Moto G8 Plus, Vivo Z1 Pro, etc. If you don't want to exceed the Rs. 10K mark, the base variant of the Redmi Note 8 is the phone you should go for.

The Redmi 8 is almost similar to the cheaper Redmi 8A. Both the phones come with the same camera, battery, processor, and screen. In fact, the front design of both the Redmi 8 and the Redmi 8A is almost similar. Both the phones include Dot Drop notch....

Redmi Note 8 is a clear upgrade over the Note 7 when you consider the phone costs exactly the same as its predecessor. For Rs 9,999, you get a smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 665 featuring a quad-rear camera setup with good primary sensor and a dedicated macro lens.

The Redmi Note 8 is a reliable performer that, unfortunately, does too little to step out of its comfort zone. Sure, the cameras got an upgrade, but the competition has stepped up its game as well. The Note 8 is still an easy phone to recommend, but it is no longer the only great option in the hot budget mid-range segment.

With the Redmi Note 8, you get enough power for everyday tasks, a strong battery, and crisp screen. Heavy games didn't run so well because of the high-resolution screen. The cameras can be impressive in favourable conditions, but there are limits to what you should expect.

The Redmi Note 8 gave mixed results in the camera department. Although, it delivers some good results in daylight conditions with photos coming out with good details and dynamic range is to the point. However, in low light conditions, the results are quite average. The photos came out to full of grains and noises were clearly visible in the images.

Many Indian smartphone buyers are very conscious of specifications, down to the number and type of SoC CPU cores. This is especially true of young people who upgrade at least once a year and buy devices online – which is a huge swathe of the market....

If you have the money go with the Redmi Note 8 Pro but if Rs. 10,000 is max you can spend then Redmi Note 8 is the best option available, plus if you look at it there is nothing to complain – dedicated micro SD slot (check), IR Blaster (check), Fast charger in box (check).
