The bottom end of the smartphone market is crammed with models and variants of them, in many cases with only very minor differences between them just in order to cater to people with limited budgets and specific requirements. A case in point is Xiaomi, which has launched well over a dozen options priced below Rs. 15,000 so far this year. No matter whether you prioritise CPU power, RAM and storage, camera features, or battery life, Xiaomi wants to put enough options in front of buyers that they won't even have to look at what the competition has to offer. Still, it's a tough balancing act.

Redmi Note 8 Summary

The Redmi Note 8 should make smartphone buyers on a tight budget very happy. It doesn't look very slick, with a thick chin below its 6.3-inch screen, but you get a choice of gradients for the back, and there's a matching highlight colour around the bottom of the front face. The front and back are both Gorilla Glass 5, and there's an anti-splash coating which are both great for the budget segment.

You get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 SoC with either 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, or 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The full-HD+ resolution, 4000mAh battery and 48-megapixel main rear camera are also great features considering the price of this phone. Performance is very good, though gaming wasn't perfectly smooth. The cameras and battery life are good, but not spectacular. Overall, Xiaomi continues to offer excellent value for money.

I bought this product on 04 Nov 19, actually I was confused to buy a budget smartphone who fullfill my basic requirements and for this I were roaming In my local market, tomorrow I visited mi shop and make a plan to buy mi A3 but after check its specifications luckily I bought Redmi note 8 that was arrived same time and was only one piece. After some time of use this is really a nice product Fm xaomi. Display is really nice battery backup also good,average camera, Processor is good....overall a good phone in this price segment. Fm my opinions more investment in high range smartphones is not a god thing.u May go fr it...... Have a great day ahead.
