Redmi Note 8 Review By YugaTech

What up guys, Mikkel here peak attack and the last time I reviewed a red meat device. That was the Redmi Note 8 pro now. Let me remind you guys that that was the China ROM version and since then, Xiaomi Philippines has officially launched the global Redmi Note lineup in this full review. We have the Redmi Note 8 Piraeus younger brother. The standard Redmi Note dated let's check it out. Space, black Neptune, blue and moonlight white are the three eye-catching colors of the Redmi Note 8.

The unit we have here with us is in the moonlight white colorway, and it's absolute eye candy with its soft gradient hue. It comes protected with Corning Gorilla, Glass 5, both up front and the rear, allowing the device to feel quite premium in the hands. It is quite slippery, though, so for those of you who have butterfingers Xiaomi has included a clear case in the box overall with its glass metal, glass construction. The note 8 feels sturdy and robust when held at the back. The Redmi Note 8 is equipped with a quad camera setup, arranged vertically with the camera module protruding quite a bit from the smartphone's body.

So we do get some wobble here when the device is nude and laid flat. Also found here is a classic rear, mounted fingerprint scanner more on that later in front slim bezels around the 6.3 inch display, though they aren't the slimmest and there's a dot drop notch on top that houses the front camera an LED notification light is also located right next to the selfie shooter on its left, slightly wider than the rest is the chin, where one can find a Read Me logo across it, which we aren't particularly fans off on the right sets the power button and the volume rocker. The placement is rather easy to reach, and they're quite click as well. The dual SIM tray slot and dedicated micro SD card slot are situated on the left up top. We can find the noise-cancelling mic for speakerphone, as well as an IR blaster.

That does work well with the included me remote, app and situated at the bottom is a single downward firing. Speaker, a USB type-c port, a noise-cancelling mic for regular calls and a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack for display the note 8 sports, a 6.3 and Full HD, plus IPS LCD panel, with a resolution of 23 40 by 1080, while the colors aren't as striking and punchy as we hope they would be. The panel does offer a crisp detail and sharpness at 50 percent brightness. It's also pretty usable under direct sunlight. It might not be enough for others, however, as for the audio, the single downward firing speaker can get loud, but we don't recommend you guys studying at the maximum.

As there is some sort of distortion at peak volume, lows are non-existent, mid are present and high sound can pleasant to the ears. We do still advise you guys to take advantage of the 3.5 millimeter audio jack and use earphones or headphones. Instead, for a more immersive experience for software, we get Android 9pi skin, with shimmies new UI 11. On top all the apps and icons are arranged on the home screen, with no options to change it to a drover style, which has been the case ever since. For me, you, while you are at into that users, can always remedy this with third-party launches like Nova.

Launcher users should also be glad to know that we get a system-wide dark mode, which does look pretty good. In our opinion, our unit here has 64 gigs of internal storage, with about 49 gigs of it being usable for performance. The Redmi Note 8 sports, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset paired with an Arena 610 GPU. The note 8 has two RAM variants: that's three and four gigs with our unit here having the latter, we ran it through our usual benchmarks and for those of you interested having them flash on-screen. Now basic tasks such as social media, browsing navigation, video streaming and the like aren't much of an issue for the note eight.

Sometimes, though, switching between apps too fast can cause the phone to freeze a bit when it does lag. It also takes a couple of seconds before the device recovers from it. For gaming we tested our mobile legends frame, drops and lags, or were noticeable and persistent. So we weren't really fans of that for biometric security, the Redmi Note it gets finger and face unlock like I mentioned earlier for the fingerprint sensor, we get a rear-mounted one, and it's pretty fast, but it isn't the fastest. Sadly, I've had faster scanners, even in display optical ones, that are faster than this rear mounted one, and it is surprising because this is a conventional rear mounted.

One same goes for the face unlock. It takes about half a second which again isn't bad at all. For battery a four thousand William hour cell gives life to the note eight we subjected it to our standard video loop test and the note eight yielded us a pretty good 13 hours and 42 minutes of playback. The note 8 comes with 18 watt, fast charging support, and it took us around 2 hours to fully charge the device moving. The cameras now stationed on the rear of the note 8 is a quad camera setup, consisting of a 48 megapixel primary sensor and 8 megapixel ultra-wide, a 2 megapixel macro and a 2 megapixel depth sensor residing in the drop notch up front is a 13 megapixel.

Selfie shooter for selfies the note 8 captures shots that look natural under ample lighting. The skin tones are vibrant and flattering, and sufficient detail is also present. The subject background separation is pretty good as well. When it comes to portrait mode, the edges aren't too harsh, and it does a great job of focusing on the subject. As for the rear cameras, the note 8 produces good photos that have adequate exposure and sharp detail.

Colors produced are not quite true to life because of the boosted saturation, but it's not an issue, and it's not the over saturation that comes from a Realme device or an open device when the chroma boost is turned on. Without a doubt, the images are satisfying enough to be shared on social media, even without when it comes to ultra-wide shots. The note it offers an option to correct the distortion resulting in photos that lessen the fish eye effect. The colors do appear to be darker and D does look over sharpened compared to the primary lens for the macro sensor. It's pretty good.

We here in the office can definitely appreciate this gimmicky sensor with ample lighting and a little creative intuition. Users should be able to have fun with this lens for night mode. First up we have a reference shot taking on the default photo mode. As you can see, a lot of the highlights are very much overexposed, but noise reduction did kick in here and overall we do get a somewhat blurry image like it is supposed to have the whole landscape in focus, or it is supposed to have the whole Skyway in focus in some way, but it isn't, and actually it didn't do a bad job with the default photo mode at all. Moving on to the night mode shot, as you can see, there is obviously a lot more noise and grain now compared to the reference shot, and it's really weird I mean night was supposed to correct all this noise and grain from the shot.

But it's still present here. It did make the overall image brighter, though, and a lot of the highlights are no longer overexposed, which is a good thing, but again that noise and grain in the sky will leave you guys quite disappointed with this device is night mode overall, the standard Redmi Note 8 is quite an impressive device. It has a pretty good feel to it. You get pretty modest image quality from this quad camera setup on the rear. You also get pretty modest battery life, as well as a pretty good display.

Despite those aspects, one can't ignore the occasional stutters during navigation and the poor gaming performance and graphics heavy titles. The Redmi Note 8 has three configurations: we get a three plus 32 gig variant, priced at seven thousand, nine hundred ninety pesos, a four plus 64 at eight thousand nine hundred ninety pesos and lastly, a four plus 128 at nine thousand nine hundred ninety pesos there are several devices in the same price range as the Redmi Note 8. Despite the few cons we've had with it, I'll be a's an LCD, but still good. We still do think that this phone is worth your budget, especially if you're opting for the four gigs of RAM plus 64 gigs of internal storage. Marion, though, if you are aiming for the highest spec variant, we do recommend you guys stretching your budget a little more, so you can just get the Redmi Note 8 pro.
