Xiaomi Redmi 8A Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
3.5/5

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
