What we like about Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T (4GB + 64GB)

  • Excellent value for money, often described as having high-end features for a budget price.
  • Solid build quality with a premium feel, featuring Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front and back.
  • Impressive battery life, generally lasting a full day or even two with moderate use, and includes 18W fast charging in the box.
  • Versatile quad-camera setup (48MP main sensor) that produces good quality photos in well-lit conditions for its price range.
  • Features a sharp Full HD+ LCD display which is considered very good for the price point.
  • Includes features often missing in budget phones, such as a headphone jack, USB-C port, NFC (for Google Pay), dual SIM support, and a dedicated microSD card slot.
  • Reliable and fast physical rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and face unlock option.
  • Comes with a clear TPU case in the box for added value and protection.
  • Good call quality and signal reception.

What we don't like about Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T (4GB + 64GB)

  • Performance can be sluggish at times, particularly with demanding games or heavy multitasking, and the processor is considered slow by some users.
  • The camera app can be slow to focus and process photos, and low-light performance is less impressive.
  • MIUI software includes pre-installed bloatware and occasional ads in certain apps, which users found annoying.
  • Video recording, especially 4K, can be shaky and lacks stabilization.
  • The camera module protrudes significantly, making the phone rock when placed on a flat surface, a problem that requires a case to solve.
  • The phone is relatively large and can be difficult to use with one hand for some people.
  • The single bottom-firing speaker is described as a bit tinny and lacking in bass.
  • The display is an LCD panel, so colors and contrast are not as vibrant as on AMOLED screens found in higher-priced devices.

Verdict

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T features a 6.3-inch Full HD+ IPS display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front and back. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 octa-core processor and 4GB of RAM, offering reliable performance for everyday tasks, though it can struggle with more demanding games. The versatile quad-camera system includes a 48MP main lens, 8MP ultra-wide, and 2MP macro and depth sensors, which provides good photo quality for the price. Key pros include its impressive 4000mAh battery life with 18W fast charging, the inclusion of a headphone jack and NFC for contactless payments, and its overall value. However, cons include a chunky bezel design, the presence of bloatware in Xiaomi's MIUI, and occasionally slow performance when multitasking or running heavier applications.
