Verdict

There`s no doubt that the Redmi 8A and Redmi 8 are both very capable phones, though they aren`t likely to find favour with those obsessed with specs. The performance, especially camera performance, leaves a little something to be desired. That said, the phones score very high on design and battery life, which are both crucial aspects for a lot of users out there.

There`s no doubt that the Redmi 8A and Redmi 8 are both very capable phones, though they aren`t likely to find favour with those obsessed with specs. The performance, especially camera performance, leaves a little something to be desired. That said, the phones score very high on design and battery life, which are both crucial aspects for a lot of users out there. We`d say that if you`re on a tight budget, the Redmi 8A makes a lot of sense, but if you can stretch a bit, the Redmi Note 8 (review) is a great buy. In this scenario, the Redmi 8 sort of gets squeezed from both sides, which is unfortunate, because it`s a pretty solid phone too.

    Pros

  • Good design and solid build
  • Long battery life
  • USB Type-C and fast charging support

    Cons

  • Average performance
  • Cameras could be better
  • Bloatware and spam notifications in MIUI
