redmi note 8

today we have redmi note 8 review 

BASIC FEATURES - 

Space black ,Neptune blue and moonlight white are the three eye-catching colors of the redmi note 8 .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 redmi 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 clicky 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 MI 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. 

now what about the display and audio of redmi note 8 ?

 the note 8 sports a 6.3 and Full HD plus IPS LCD panel with a resolution of 2340 ×1080 while the colors aren't as striking and punchy as we hope . it's also pretty usable under direct sunlight  however as for the audio the single downward firing speaker can get loud but we don't recommend you listening  at the maximum as there is some sort of distortion at peak volume we advise you to take advantage of the 3.5 millimeter audio jack and use earphones or headphones .On top all the apps and icons are arranged on the home screen with no options to change it to a drover style but that users can always remedy this with third-party launches like Nova Launcher .

RAM And speed 

  The note 8 has two RAM variants that's three and four gigs . 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 .

What about Gaming and security ?

  For gaming we tested out 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 have 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 ,same goes for the face unlock it takes about half a second which again isn't bad at all.

the most important for an ideal android phone , battery power ?

For battery a 4000 mAh 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 accompanies 18 watt quick charging help and it took us around 2 hours to completely charge the gadget.

now second most important thing is the cameras ?

 Moving to the cameras now stationed on the rear of the note 8 is a quad camera setup consisting of a 48 MP primary sensor and 8 MP ultra-wide, a 2 MP macro and a 2 MP depth sensor residing in the drop notch up front is a 13 MP 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 redmi device or an open device and 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 fisheye effect the colors do appear to be darker and does look over sharpened compared to the primary lens for the macro sensor it's pretty good . 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 .

PRICE RANGES FOR VARIOUS VARIANTS ?

the redmi note 8 has three configurations .we get a 3GB RAM + 32 GB Storage  variant priced at 9999 indian rupees, a 4GB RAM + 64 GB Storage  at 11499 indian rupees and lastly a 4GB + 128GB storage at 13999 indian rupees.

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 it'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 but if you are aiming for the highest spec variant we do recommend you guys stretching your budget a little bit more so you can just get the redmi note 8 pro so what did you guys think of the standard redmi note 8 let us know in the comments section below.
