Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 128GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
8.0/10
Verdict
The Redmi Note 8 starts at Rs 9,999 for the 4GB RAM variant, but the unit I tested shipped with six gigs of memory and will set prospective buyers back by Rs 12,999. For its price, the smartphone offers a stunning design, a sharp display, reliable performance, day-long battery life and, a compelling camera setup. Correspondingly, if you can put up with the smartphone`s ad-heavy software – and I really think you should – then the Redmi Note 8 is by far the best phone in its price segment.I say this because the most legitimate threat to Redmi Note 8`s dominance comes from the Realme 5 (revie...

However, the Redmi Note 8 one-ups the handset by shipping with a 48MP sensor, a sharper display and more RAM on the base variant. Choosing between the two is no easy feat but if I were in your shoes, I`d opt for Redmi`s offering.
Pros
- Stunning design
- Sharp display
- Reliable performance
- Good camera setup
Cons
- Chunky camera bump
- Loaded with ads and bloatware
