Redmi 8 Full Review
The Snapdragon 439 SoC is relatively
underpowered but there's 3GB or 4GB of RAM and 32GB or 64GB of storage. You
also get a 5000mAh battery and support for 18W fast charging, though only a 10W
charger is included. The HD+ screen measures 6.22 inches and is decent for a
phone at this price.
While general performance was good for
day-to-day use, the cameras were disappointing. Images didn't always come out
looking sharp, and photo quality was especially poor at night. Xiaomi's MIUI
software is also full of bloatware and ads.
Xiaomi has taken its base Redmi series
in a new direction, with a weaker processor than the previous model but
improvements overall in terms of design and features. The company is hoping to
deliver a more rounded experience, so while gamers might be disappointed,
there's enough for most poeple to be satisfied. The Redmi 8 feels great in the
hand, with a relatively sober exterior and a choice of three jewel-toned
colours. The build quality is excellent, and you won't find a rough edge
anywhere. However, this phone does borrow a lot from its less expensive
sibling, the Redmi 8A.
Overall, this is a
good phone to buy if you want a polished experience, but you might need to
spend a bit more if you need raw performance.
