Xiaomi Redmi Note 8/8T review By GSMArena Official

Hey, what's up guys will here for GSM, marina, and I'm here today with two mid-range phones, the Redmi Note 8 and the note 8 t they're, basically, two versions of the same phone for different markets, but what makes them special and are they worth getting? Let's find out in our four review the node a to node 8 T, our mid-range phones, going for a budget prize. Each version is for a different market. There are a few small differences in design and, besides the looks there are a few details to keep track of the node.8 is for Asian markets and that's an option for a higher 6 gigs of ram. It has a notification LED and comes with a 10 watt charger in the box. The node 80, on the other hand, is sold in Europe and has NFC. It comes with a faster 18 watt charger in the box, but it's a little pricier.

Nevertheless, both are pretty inexpensive phones, but you wouldn't be able to tell at first glance they are built from Gorilla Glass and have a dazzling gradient finish. Only on close inspection would you be able to tell that the frame is made of plastic, not a more premium material. While there is no official waterproofing, there is a NATO coating on the internals, so these phones can survive a splash or two, and while they are slippery and will wobble on a desk, the node a to node 80, come with a silicon case in the box which can remedy the situation. Both devices have similar 6.3 inch, IPS, LCD screens, there's a 1080p resolution and a dot notch cut out for the selfie cam quality is pretty good here for an LCD, blacks, look nice, and you have good max brightness the note it gets up to 470 nets and up to 613 it's in auto mode in bright Sun and the node 80 is quite close to that. The colors on both panels look good, and if you go into the color settings you can either make them pop or tune them to be extremely accurate.

The node 8 has a white notification LED, which will let you know when you need to check your phone. However, this is missing on the node 80 bummer waking up. The phone's is quite easy, though, with a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. Both are responsive and always ready for waking up and unlocking. The phones have expandable storage to the triple card slot on top of the 32 64 or 128 gigs built-in.

For your audio there's, a single bottom firing speaker, which uses a sound chamber for some extra amplification, both phones, scored an excellent mark in our loudness tests, and quality is good, though bass and higher tones are still a bit lacking. You can plug in headphones with the 3.5 millimeter jack, though audio quality here is in grades. There is a fair amount of distortion in stereo. Separation leaves more to be desired. Loudness is good, though, and you get FM radio at the time of this review.

The Redmi Note 8 is running NIA y11 / Android 9pi, while our no-date tea is still on MIA white 10, but we expect it to catch up soon, still both get dark mode. It gives the dark aesthetic here menus, but since the screen is an LCD, it won't save you any battery. Both interfaces are almost the same. There's no app drawer and swiping over to the left will give you access to a bunch of shortcuts, like other Xiaomi devices, there's an IR blaster up to the top, which you can use the control appliances with once in a while. You may get a banner ad inside of one of the onboard apps like the file manager or the security app, but it's rare and isn't a big deal at the heart of both phones is the same snapdragon 665 chipsets, which is new this year and built on an 11 nanometer process in GPU benchmarks performance is great among the best for this price range.

We saw no overheating either. However, the GPUs performance is actually a slight downgrade from the snapdragon 660. Even though this one is more power efficient. Still with most games, you wouldn't notice any problems, both the Redmi Note, 8 and note.8 tes are powered by a 4000 million power battery. Unsurprisingly, when we ran our proprietary tests, they both are in the same excellent score of a hundred and eight hours like I mentioned before, while both phones support 18 watt, quick charging, they're bundled with different chargers.

This leads to different charging times out of the box. The 10 watt charger fills 30% of the battery in half an hour while the 18 watt charger gets you up to 45%. In this amount of time the Redmi Note 8 and no date t packed the same quad camera setups, there's a 48 megapixel quad baseman cam, an 8 megapixel ultra-wide cam, a 2 megapixel macro camera and a depth sensor. The image quality from the main camera is very good. It saves 12 megapixel images by default, and these have plenty of detail.

Low noise levels and true-to-life colors dynamic range is wide -. We weren't such fans of the fouetté rendition, but it's nothing too bad for this price range. There is a dedicated, 48 megapixel mode, but what you get is not a real 48 megapixel image, but simply an upscaled one with no benefits whatsoever. You do get a benefit from the fact that the sensor is so large, though 2x zoom jostle, quite good, even though this is digital and not optical. Zoom portrait shots are decent.

If you have good lighting in the right conditions, you can get photos with nice detail and good. Subject: separation: the 8 megapixel ultra-wide snapper captures. Ok, photos contrast is alright, but the overall shot is soft in dynamic range is limited, but for the price, it's not that bad here are a couple of two megapixel samples from the dedicated macro camera. Unfortunately, these are far from impressive detail. Isn't that great the corners are soft, and the center isn't that sharp either at night? The Redmi Note eighths main cam does a great job.

The noise reduction especially has sets sweet spots between reducing a majority of the noise and leaving some fine detail intact. The net mode is quite conservative, like on other Xiaomi phones acting more like HDR and that it restores most clipped highlights. It also removes a bit of the noise, but the overall image isn't much brighter each shot takes a few seconds, and we like the results. Low-Light images from the ultra-wide are actually not that bad. They still aren't great, but there is some usable detail and the exposure isn't too dark.

There is no night mode here, the no date and no date t have a 13 megapixel front-facing camera, with fixed focus. We were impressed here. Selfies are excellent, with great detail, pleasant contrasts and colors, and wide dynamic range now under videos. Video capture from the main camera can be done in up to 4k at 30fps, though 60fps is said to be coming in a future update. The video quality isn't particularly great dynamic range is mediocre and detail is poor due to the aggressive noise reduction.

At least you get little noise and the contrasting colors are nice. You can opt for electronic stabilization, which works well to smooth out your videos, but it's only available in 1080p videos from the ultra-wide camera and up to 1080 at 30fps, and they also have poor detail. The color rendition is a bit different from that from the main cam. So that's the Redmi Note 8 and the note 80 with you there phone you get a well-balanced mid-range err with a shiny, build a large and bright LCD screen excellent battery life and good performance, plus those still photos. You can take our pretty impressive as far as downsides.

Go video recording, isn't great in a tsunami that the node aid only has a 10 watt charger, but that's reflected in the price. So it's not so bad. The node 8 is going for around 10000 rupees. In the note 80 about unheard 80 euros, it's surprising how much phone you get for the money- and these are definitely worth considering thanks for watching guys and see you on the next one.
