What we like about Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro (6GB + 128GB)

  • Excellent price-to-performance ratio and overall value for money.
  • Strong gaming performance thanks to the MediaTek Helio G90T chipset, which handles demanding games smoothly.
  • Very good battery life (4500mAh), often lasting 1.5 to 2 days with moderate usage.
  • Premium-feeling build quality with Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and back.
  • Large, good quality 6.53-inch Full HD+ display.
  • The 64MP main camera captures detailed photos in good daylight conditions.

  • Fast and responsive fingerprint sensor and face unlock feature.

What we don't like about Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro (6GB + 128GB)

  • MIUI software includes bloatware (pre-installed apps) and integrated ads, which can be annoying.
  • Inconsistent camera performance, especially with the ultra-wide and macro lenses, and poor results in low light conditions.
  • Camera lenses are prone to getting smudged due to the close proximity of the rear fingerprint sensor.
  • The phone is relatively heavy, thick, and can be quite slippery to hold.
  • Lack of 5G support, though this is expected given the phone's original release date.
  • Some users reported minor software issues like application crashes, especially after certain MIUI updates.
  • Video recording lacks stabilization in 4K mode, making it less useful.

Verdict

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro (6GB + 128GB) is a premium-feeling mid-range smartphone with a powerful MediaTek Helio G90T gaming processor, a versatile 64MP AI quad-camera system, and a long-lasting 4500mAh battery. Its key strengths include smooth performance for gaming and everyday tasks, a bright and sharp 6.53-inch FHD+ display protected by Gorilla Glass 5, and the inclusion of NFC and an IR blaster. However, notable drawbacks are the device's sometimes inconsistent low-light camera performance, noticeable heating during intense gaming, and the presence of bloatware and ads within the MIUI software.
