Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 - User Reviews

  • Same problem with my redmi note 8

  • Noise while listening to music on headphones.. does anybody has any noise in audio issue ?? What is its solution?

  • How do I save contacts to SIM card?

  • That is a perfect example for ignorance Bro....... oled's in general espicially samsung's super amoled are so so much better than any lcd espicially for eyes relieve and battery consuming ...........and xiaomi for exact is making the worst lcd ever made ....its not even a good lcd like nokia's displays....

  • Cheap ips lcd with blue colouring is not good for eyes.

  • IPS consumes more battery than amoled

  • It plays pubG just for low graphic there is no even medium

  • Lagging in typing on keyboard not responding very well their is an issue in performance in general.

  • yes please review xiaomi redmi note 8

  • Rather than complaining, don't buy it. Isn't it simple ???

  • Somebody here complaining about heating issue seriously...!!!

  • This phone is aconome

  • why not bluetooth 5 not in redmi note 8 ?

  • Review it please!!

  • This phone, relative to price range, is very good. I'll wait for the full review.

  • S. Very good cameras. I wish to post some photos? How

  • What variant bro?

  • Redmi Note 8. It's faster and it has better camera!

  • Nope

  • Oops.

  • Fingerprint Scanner on the screen is only possible on phones with AMOLED screens..

  • i got few redmi devices b4 and all having signal issues. are you sure this one is ok?

  • The pro version is having seriously heating issue.

  • Somebody here complaing about signal issue seriously

  • Actually I never know that my 4yrs old gionee s plus Is made with amoled until recently when checked its spec on gsmarena. I have had no any bad issue with the screen for all these years and I'm a heavy user. And I know super amoled will give more then what amole gave me for all these yrs.

  • Bro In display finger scanner. need a flagship grade soc to work perfectly. Like sdm730g/712/or 800series you understand?

  • finger print scanner on the BACK ??? don't like it only on the front or under the screen! also a bit heavy about 30 grams.

  • one of best phone under 10000/- am using since 3 weeks its not having signal issues perfectly very smooth running great camera ,battery backup and storage am happy .

  • Hows the performance ?

  • Bro Super amoled is Prone with burning. it also consume more Power. that makes your Battery drain so fast. its not Good for eye. Also ips lcd is more Durable compare with Super amoled.

  • How did they manage to get Bluetooth 4.2 on it? According to the official qualcomm specification this chip has Bluetooth 5.0: How did that happened?

  • I bought this phone during Lazada sale on 11.11 here in the Philippines, it only cost 7,041 pesos. ($138) yikes :)

  • If you ask me, go buy it. If you are a hardcore gamer, go for the Pro version.

  • Bro finally i got to see a person who has won a phone from giveaway. So you got the phone from whose channel and please help me that whether i should buy this phone or not ?

  • Widevine certificate is L3 which means this phone won't run Full HD streaming videos. The only downside which keeping me from buying this one!

  • @gsmarena - Why don't you guys write a review of the Redmi Note 8?

  • IPS LCD is more durable. And better for eyes.

  • Redmi note 7 pro or redmi note 8? Price diff is just 2k in india, suggestions please?

  • Redmi phones are all about cost. AMOLED is not as cost effective as IPS.

  • nice phone battery backup long nice camera and superb video quality best budugt smart fone under 10,000

  • honor 8x or redmi note 8

  • Why do you even play PES2010? It's 2020 already.

  • good specs but ips lcd? Why not Super amoled

  • can you elaborate why?

  • @Zaid Khan; You were awfully vague about a lot of things. False processor and RAM - The Note 8 is using Snapdragon 665, please be more specific what you meant with false. Battery life cannot last watching a movie - How long was the movie, 10 hours? Touch issue - So far no user complained of touch latency issues, so please elaborate yours.

  • note 8

  • redmi note 7 or redmi note 8? which should i buy?

  • The phone is a "wow" hope it will get android 10/miui 11 uPdate?

  • While Snapdragon 665 still new, it still need time to update.

  • Redmi Note 5, 6 pro, 7, all have bluetooth v5, but Redmi note 8 goes back to bluetooth v4.2 ??! it doesn't make sense Snapdragon 665 Specifications : Bluetooth 5.0 Concretely, how can users check/test if it's really v4.2 or v5 ?

  • Which phone do u suggest me to buy.

  • Wow, this really looks like the best budget phone of the year. Very nice specs and very cheap. Welcome Xiaomi.

  • Hey there, I'm with the GSMArena team and we can assure you the Bluetooth is 4.2, as per the official Redmi Note 8 specs sheet, provided by Xiaomi.

  • best phone with a beast camera .... i got 4/128 variant few days ago

  • I trust the GSMarena specifications of 4.2

  • Check Mi.com

  • Redmi Note 8 to Go on Sale in India at 12pm Today via Amazon India, Mi.com: Price is on the website and for specifications and features read GSMarena

  • I bought it and used it 4 or 5 days and resell. Because it's a tottaly third class device. 48MP camera is not actually 48MP I think it has only maximum 16 or 18MP camera. Second thing is they mentioned 4 GB RAM in specs but it don't work like 4GB RAMs, and processers also mentioned false. Touch is not better and the main thing battery timing is very very poor, even you can't watch online movie with one charge. So this is my experience therefore I sold it. Regarding to my experience I have to give rating in following condition: 1. RAM 5/10 2. Processor. 5/10 3. Touch.

  • What is the bluetooth version in this phone? I know gsmarena says its 4.2 but other websites say its 5.0. So if someone who is using this phone can confirm then I will be highly grateful.

  • Use youtube search redmi note 8 gcam and you ll be a good gcam port

  • what's ur point here?

  • To all consumers who are looking for a decent midrange smartphone today, this Redmi Note 8 is a solid pick. Ads? You can disable it on Settings, though disabling it one by one but worth it after doing it. Chipset? It's above average since it can play graphic demand games very well. Day to day work? So dang good. Transition between apps is no slouch. Cameras? Stock app is straight garbage (except the macro mode). Just install google Camera and you're good to go. Details will be flagship like. Price? Bang of the buck for this segment! Hiyhly recommended for people who doesn't want confusion on buying this price range. I hav one Moonlight white 6/128 variant (won from a giveaway). :)

  • Please can u be more specific on the camera u want to compare with

  • Global Version has Bluetooth 4.2 while Indian Version has Bluetooth 5

  • Got to settings in that app(s) and find turn off recomandations, there you can turn it off. If i remember, Security (and in Security one by one, cleaner etc..), Downloads, Music, File Manager.. And yea that's about it, no more (if you have region set to some od EU country)

  • This phone is excellent but the only problem is with its software...It is filled with ads in stock apps

  • Can you share APK name of your Gcam?

  • Just bought one this week and gotta say, it's a great midrange smartphone. A little bit slower than my old Galaxy S9 obviously, but still worth it. Using Google's GCAM app the camera hits another level, the difference its quite impressive. The battery it's good as well and gaming it's a "just good" experience, not bad at all (smooth on high preferences, not ultra). Compared to same level smartphones the display looks crispy, and speakers are powerful. At last, its highly customizable system brings a great experience for hard users. For those concerned about not having a second mic for noise cancelation, the calls sound clearer than on my S9... So far, great job XIAOMI!!

  • Dearest friends.After some research , I think with gsmarena disclaimer and different specification ,this Chinese made smartfone is the best ascending midrange of 2019 also considering the price....Thanks all of you ....Justice Rights....

  • Due to unavailability of extra mic for noise cancellation is there any distraction while calling on speaker mode for listeners.or while calling from note 8 to note 8?

  • Thanks

  • Its a the same phone, just with Redmi branding on front, same Android version out of the box, same MIUI (10), out of the box, same battery, same charger (China version get 18W, wven version for India, but global not), difference is processor (it's a clocked lower than 660 in Redmi 7), also 2 more cameras on the back (2mp + 2mp) is gimmick, alao, phone is thicker (8.4mm), than Redmi 7 (8.1mm).. But, hey, good news is that, Redmi 8 is cheaper in same config, than Redmi 8..

  • dw it wont lag on any game. I suspect 40-60 fps just to give you a general perspective (yt videos are being displayed at 30fps mostly just for reference)

  • Please someone should tell me if this phone lag when playing pes2010 on high graphic please don't want to regret buying it if it lags on pes

  • Is redmi note 8 better than the redmi note 7?

  • Bought this phone for MYR799 in Malaysia. I have tested for gaming quite okay but lag on high graphic especially when shadows on (PUBG & COD Mobile). Feels hot when gaming for hours. Battery is quite satisfied, camera not quite good compare to other phone with the same range & price. Overall I give this phone 7/10..

  • No

  • Yes, at the left side of the front camera.

  • Would i buy note 8 or mi 8 ?

  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 review please

  • no need to upgrade from rmi note 7, too similar (in specs) - regardless the camera

  • Pls does this phone have a front led flash??

  • besides the camera, I don't really see it as. a. upgrade, but it's 100% your choice

  • Will someone recommend this phone as an upgrade to a redmi note 7 user?

  • Helo, can someone pls confirm itlf note 8 support LTE band 28(700mhz).

  • which version of gcam are you using?

  • Is this phone smooth and speed enough,

  • Any idea if the cosmic purple color will be available for Redmi Note 8?

  • i have been using as an daily driver from last 2 week haven't noticed any flaw till yet.but today when i connected my sony mdrxb55 bluetooth wireless earphones the audio output ain't that good. i tried with my laptop and 6t over there i dont find any issuse. advise to xiaomi that they need to increase the volume level for audio in bluetooth.

  • Yes.. camera2api is enabled (level 3 support) and gcam works flawlessly on redmi note 8 and greatly improves the detail in images

  • Can any user confirm if it has Camera2 API enabled? I mean, does Gcam work on it?

  • I have purchased Redmi Note 8 few days back and heres my opnion about this phone. Build quality and design are good, Display has great colors and contrast and excellnt sunlight legibility Battery backup is pretty great Processor is good enough for basic usage Call reception and quality are excellent IR and notification led are pretty neat extras Stock Camera is ok..not the best but ok.. installing gcam improved the camera result. Wide angle camera is good for this price bracket.. MIUI has stutters here are there.. Ram management is not the best (too agressive) Too much bloatware installed Havent done much gaming but i think its gonna be entry level Overall i am happy with the device for the price i paid(180$). far better than my previous purchase of Galaxy A20 which had nothing except for a Super Amoled display.. hope this mini review helps other potential buyers... cheers

  • Please wait

  • Waiting next Redmi Note with snapdragon chip, stereo speakers, amoled screen, dual sim, dedicated sd slot, nfc, ir, 3,5 audio, removable battery, 3 pro lens not more than 24mp...

  • is it better or Note 5 and why Note 5 is a little more expensive?

  • Very happy that xiaomi brought dedicated micro SD card slot for this phone which was the main reason i hadn't bought redmi note 7.

  • Note 8 can't run fortnite

  • I can't find a screen for it do u think I should get the note 7 one? And I have an a50 should I buy this note 8 be cuz my a50 cant run fortnite and the calls speaker is too loud.

  • But samsung mid range a30,a50,a70 has poor sound quality and porr loudness... Momi

  • Redmi note 8, there is nothing done in the note 7 that wasnt done in the note 8, the note 8 has a small performance bump and 2 extra cameras for better photography.

  • Hi please guide which one should I buy Redmi Note 8 or Redmi Note 7?

  • Well, sound quality is considerably good, just like samsung mid range phones.

  • How's the audio quality of this good phone?

  • The Note has a Full HD screen and therefore the GPU will have to work twice as hard and since the The GPU that comes with Snapdragon 665 on the Note isn't really that Powerful, You'll definitely find some hiccups here and there as compared to Mi a phone because it only houses a HD display and that means less stress on the GPU. So it's a win - Loose situation, You either get more Gaming performance by forgoing a crispy screen in the case of Mi a or vice versa in the case of Note. P.s: The Mi A uses an Amoled technology, so that means you'll see a more attractive deeper blacks while using dark mode and watching contents having dark elements but because the Amoled display in the Mi A arranges Pixels in pentile Matrix format the display will appear to have even less resolution on top of the already passable resolution of 720p that it has. So, I'd recommend you to check out the phone display in had from somewhere and read some articles on as that's where you'll notice the biggest difference and if you find it Okey- Than go for it ! I'd personally go for the Note even though that Amoled is tempting- Darn it, If only they went for a higher resolution. Sigh!

  • How u can say this?

  • Mi A3 or redmi note 8? They are at a similar price at the moment. Which do you think should have a better overall performance? Thanks

  • I'm agreed with your analysis as my views are also the same and in a nutshell RM Note 7 (global version) is better than RM Note 8

  • Please mention LTE bands for india, china, global

  • Please review this phone ! thank you for your content :)

  • Amoled disply would do the trick

  • Redmi note 8 or realme 5 pro??? Differences please???

  • Im useing 4 deys very good mobil super minde blowing batry charging camra gaming very good love u redmi note8. And design super

  • eMMC 5.0

  • Relax guys... the review should be in very soon. Currently gsmarena is negotiating with Xiaomi how much they shld be paid to put in a good review for the phone so that will take some time.

  • Is it comes with UFS or eMMC 5.1 storage???

  • It's long overdue

  • no

  • @GSMArena, we are waiting for your review of this model.

  • Well, it uses LCD display, at 6.3", I would not expect stellar SOT.

  • Note 8 Battery life is not good man Above average only. Galaxy M30 Better if ur not a hardcore gamer

  • Xiaomi Resmi Note 8T have NFC (same phone as Note 8, just with NFC), price is also the same

  • You need to turn of recommandations in Security (cleaner, booster etc) in gallery app, in music app, in download app, and thats it

  • Atually, battery life is pretty good, same or better than in Note 7, in real life usage.

  • well i believe redmi note 8 wont be better than redmi note 7, it might slightly slower or just the same at all!! they might using a newer 11mm snapdragon, but with 4x2ghz and 4x1.8 ghz while note 7 was 4x.2.2ghz, the gpu it self are on the same level which was the entry level , infact note7 was slightly better on the gpu if there is non of new tech which usually only available on newer chipset. their extra point might be on the sd card which doesnt sharing with their 2nd simcard and slightly better on their rear camera.. slightly... and rest of them is totally same from redmi note 7, its like they are launching an revision of redmi note 7 instead than a newer generation -_-". even their note 8 pro only have 200 points diff from redmi note 7 redmi note 8 pro Basemark OS II: 3196 / Basemark OS II 2.0: 3126 Basemark X: 34654 ----------------------------- Redmi Note 7 Basemark OS II: 2716 / Basemark OS II 2.0: 2260 Basemark X: 21201 ---------------------------- Redmi Note 8 Now you know why the result for redmi note 8 is not available.. if you guys are still not sure which phone to buy between realme5 @$200usd , oppo reno2 @$446usd, redmi note 8@$135usd and go on.. if you just looking for the phone with performance with the most cheapest price, i would like to suggest pocophone f1 for $265 you will get something near to mi 8 in performance without their premium looks etc but if you also need the camera, perhaps redmi note 8 pro could be a great choice for money versus result, which you will get a great result with a cheapest price for now.. their chipset might not a great one, but they are using a liquid cooler, although there is no details about how and what kind of liquid they are using.. they wont use a nitro wont they? :D but still for its onyl $217, just $60 more than redmi note 8 you will already have 6gb in ram, slightly better processor, far better rear camera, extra 500 mAh in battery, slightly better selfie camera, NFC (yes redmi note 8 doesnt have NFC!)

  • What about the ads? its very annoying in lately version, make the phone warmer and drain some quota of internet...

  • Camera is on a flagship level with gcam but battery life isn't good it will last you a day even with the 4000mah

  • please tell me, xiaomi devices cant be forcefully flashed just in case of stolen

  • It won't be shown in screenshot if its really image retention (screen ghosting). Sorry for u if it's really the problem, im asking because i once had redmi note 5 and had this problem even after changing the screen 3 times in the xiaomi center (it was still in warranty), so i was thinking about getting the new note 8 so i have to be really sure this time that im not facing the same problem again.

  • Why there is no native call recorder in redmi note 8 global version??

  • Adreno610 is weak compared to 512 so sd660 wins.

  • Yes grey dots with wifi logos in the top n bottom of the screen couldn't took the screen shot coz on touching the screen it was gone to normal... Happened to the phone once 3 times inside 1 minute

  • What is SAR value of redmi note 8. I sold my miA1 in one month of launch due to higher SAR value

  • note 8 is better and the camera is superb with gcam 7 it's literally pixel quality

  • Redmi note 8.. Backdoor from gorillaglass..realme? Nah, I sold mine bcs scratched bckdoor make it look like rubbish and seldom delay on multitouch.

  • Has anyone faced an image retention (screen ghosting) problem with redmi note 8 ??

  • Dear GSM ARENA.., Review this soon, please.. Because so many people need an compare about RN7 & RN8.. Thank you

  • Go for Note 8, though it cost 1000 extra, but u get full hd screen, better main camera( which is used in realme 5 pro). Also their infra red sensor will come handy to control TV and AC at home. Just make sure you are ok with MIUI.

  • Yes, it has a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

  • Realme 5 Or Redmi Note 8?Please Explain In Details.

  • Yes

  • no...

  • does it has a headphone jack?

  • Gsmarena you should review this one.

  • I think Redmi Note 8 is far better then the Pro, as it has Snapdragon SoC and some interesting cameras. I am using a F1 which was bought few dyas back and i am already love with Xiaomi. Tested some other Mi devices in family and friends, but F1 is a gem. Anyway i will get another budget Mi device in January/February and this will be Redmi 8 Note for sure. I have seen the black model review and it looks so premium and beautiful with all the features i will need.

  • has NFC

  • Battery life ?

  • Feels compact enough and a good all-rounder. Battery lives up to it's numbers and the feel is premium with the glass sandwhich style design. pity this phone is prone to scratches and dents especially on it's camera bump because of the sheer depth of the portrusion. Luckily a case is provided however I feel it negates the whole plush look of the glass sandwhich.

  • Camera is also better especially with gcam. the 64mp is quite a disappointment

  • Is frame metal or plastic reply fast. If it is plastic is it strong enough?

  • Review please! İ want to learn max screen brightness how many nits.

  • some ppl says redmi note 8 is better then redmi note 8 pro, because of chipset mtk easyly hot

  • Note 8 has lower price than note 7 in Indonesia :D I decide to choose redmi note 8

  • How is audio quality (speaker)

  • It depends on the user's expectation... if you are a casual user using cheap LCD won't matter but for heavier user looking at the screen 2-3 hours a day then of course super amoled would make a big difference

  • When you're out of budget and looking for an affordable premium looking phone with a smooth UI. Get this Redmi Note 8. It is actually one of the most purchased phones in the Mi stores along with its series phones.

  • true

  • Nope. No SD 665 phone can play PUBG on Balanced, let alone HD. SD 660 is much better.

  • Im replacing my moto E5 but can't decide between note 7 or note 8. What do you guys recommend? Should i buy the note 8 or save 20$ and get the note 7?

  • Ordered it some days ago. Cant wait to get it ^^. I have never seen a better cost-performance ratio for a brand new phone, its sick.

  • same goes to me, i was thinking which one is better :D

  • Redmi note 8, have better developer support and better build quality

  • Such a great budget phone.. offers more for the price tag

  • is this phone too heavy ?

  • redmi note 8 for slightly better display n dedicated triple slot..note 7 pro for better rear camera .. for gaming both are nearly same

  • Can play pubg on hd or no?

  • Realme 5 or Redmi note 8?

  • hi. who can say is this ufs memory? 4gb 64, or 6gb 64 or 6 128gb versions. ha e mi a3, didnt like android one after miui(use redmi note 5, note 7 ) if redmi note 8 fast memory? (i even didnt sure if my mi a3 4gb 64 ufs or not but works very fast than redmi note 7 4gb 64). please answer, if know any or who had mi a3 and now note 8

  • the bluetooth version is 5.0

  • U should mAke the differentiate between note 7 Pro n note 8 pro.. Not with note 8..

  • the Bluetooth version tho

  • Performance and main camera is better on redmi note 7 pro but only if u want that extra wide angle and macro then there is point of going for redmi note 8

  • Redmi note 7 pro gives better performance than note 8. Personally experiencing both I would recommend note 7 pro. Note 8 doesn't has clarity or sharpness and its not quad camera phone actually those are sensors to function the 48 mp camera.

  • Why Xiaomi skip following features in Redmi Note 8: 1. Studio Lightning 2. Light Trail 3. Sky Replacement in editor 4. Any software level "pro" features. Xizomi should implement in future updates.

  • Can anyone suggest which one is best especially for camera redmi note 7 pro or redme note 8 as both are selling below 10000 with bank offer

  • GSMArena please review Redmi Note 8...

  • So how about camera and gaming performance of Realme 3 pro?? Does it better then Redmi Note 8??Because R3P has only dual camera and RN8 has QUAD;please reply in detailed...

  • Realme 3 pro has better selfie camera but main rear camera of redmi note 8 is better with other cameras too. Realme 3 pro has better performnace SD710 is anyday better than SD665 Realme 3 pro charges in around 80 to 90 minutes for 0-100% while Redmi charges in 100 to 120 minutes for 0-100% Redmi has glass back with usb type c Both has custom skins and both skins are just ok.. So you decide which one of above things r important to you and you won't go wrong with any of these devices

  • Redmi Note 8 < Realme 3 Pro < Redmi Note 8 Pro

  • So the Redmi note 7 has Bluetooth 5.0 but Redmi Note 8 reverted to Bluetooth 4.2? But why Indian version got Bluetooth 5.0? Xiaomi is so confusing

  • Realme 3 pro vs. Redmi note 8 Which is better option??? (In terms of;camera,performance,software, etc..) please reply....

  • How about ads in global version?

  • I has dedicated Micro SD slot

  • Body design of redmi note 8 is same as note 7 with two extra cameras vivo is the one who stole it lol

  • Is it? Still, I don't see any problem with that especially when this phone is cheaper.

  • Design copy from vivo s1 indonesia

  • Waiting for a proper and thorough review from gsmarena before deciding to buy this RN8 or not.

  • Emmc.

  • About it's microSD card slot... Is it a hybrid one like how it goes on Redmi Note series or finally it have a dedicated slot?

  • You should read comments carefull... Good luck for the next time, kid!

  • i will give this phone 7 from 10 it's all amaizng but the the camera is not that good , that very sadly,, why Xiaomi why ??!!

  • What is nfc? I think even without nfc it's still useful phone.

  • Nope it is glass

  • How is the battery performance? Please guide me anyone who use it..

  • Plastic

  • Its not a samsung note, its a xiaomi note, there's a difference, come on guys.

  • No, the colors are fine and you won't notice any disadvantages about them unless you put it side to side with a flagship device, but other than that you'll use it just fine.

  • No nfc, useless phone..

  • Is it true that xiaomi redmi note 8 display produce very dull colours? As it use IPS LCD..

  • 18 watt charger included in indian version

  • Is the side of phone metal or plastic (chrome colour on white variant) ?

  • No active noise cancellation mic .. What is it I don't like

  • eMMC

  • Wireless charging is only for flagship phone, for mid range is not worthy because qi coil is expensive

  • Thanks bro because i am already buy note 7 pro before 5 days ago.

  • what type of storage support ufs 2.1 or emmc...??

  • Does it supports wireless charging?

  • By using GFX tool, you can play in hd otherwise Balanced settings with high frames is the maximum option for RN8

  • Depends on which country you are came from. Just go to check the phone specifications from Xiaomi official website of your country.

  • No bro i doubt it support...ive check in like 3 or 4 videos but only for note 8 pro its support, not note 8 regular version...but m guessing if it get better graphic in future update n optimization

  • Well, I have a Redmi Note 5 Pro and it can call record so I think it should.

  • Hello frndz, Kindly confirm it have call recording option built-in or not???? Plz Plz

  • Wanted to know about the battery endurrance, please someone give review about the battery performance... I will be waiting... :)

  • 171000 for note 8?. i am getting 143000

  • Ya bro u r right and the look of 8 pro is not even cool and looks bulky too while the looks of note 8 is just wow and looks slightly thick and here comes to alexa then most of people dont use alexa... And i dont believe in mediatek anymore.... Its sucks on long usage whether the snapdragon is a hero in a long time usage... I will go with note 8.... There are many mobiles under 10000 or 15000 but i wanna buy mi because of its ir blaster and smart devices like mi band etc available in market

  • How about the audio wuality or the audio recorder quality? Please update soon &#12640;&#12640; I'm waiting for it.

  • only note 8 pro has the 18W charger

  • so i have this phone and i cant really say anything bad about it. i got 170k score in antutu v8

  • Please give complete review

  • I'm waiting for the Review.

  • lcd screen not oled

  • Note 7's processor Snapdragon 660 is theoretically better in terms of CPU but in GPU SD 665 (Note 8) is much better. Again, performance is almost similar in both the phones but if you play games, then Note 8 is better. Plus Note 8 is an obvious choice over Note 7 as 18W fast charger is included in the box and Note 8 has ultrawide and macro lenses.

  • Note 7S has 10W charger in the box whereas Note 8 has 18W fast charger. Note 8 has Snapdragon 665 while Note 7S has SD 660. Note 8 has Ultrawide and Macro Lenses which are not there in Note 8. Note 8 is much better than 7S and its the best phone under &#8377; 10k.

  • You can buy redmi note 8 because their processor better than note 7

  • I need to know about redmi note 7 pro 128gb vs redmi note 8 128gb , whats the best ? I know only snapdragon and adreno on redmi note 7 pro is higher than the note 8 128gb

  • What is is the top pick colour for this phone? Btw should I pick Blue or Black colour?

  • This mobile is a Fabulous

  • Exynos processors used to be crap but not anymore baring the one which is used in M10 Comming to finger print, the speed of operation doesn't depend on CPU that much, but on the optical sensor which is used under the display. The entry level and mid range phone use GEN1 sensors so they are slow

  • I have redmi note 8 and processor performance very good redmi note 8 is better then redmi note 7 and redmi note 8 very smoothly play PUBG Because Redmi note 8 High Processor

  • I have redmi note 8 and processor performance very good redmi note 8 is better then redmi note 7 and redmi note 8 very smoothly play PUBG

  • I need help - My intuition wants me to buy Redmi Note 8 because it's new and I love it's white color but spec sheets say Redmi Note 7 has better gaming performance. I'm neither a hardcore gamer nor a selfie/picture maniac but sometimes I play Call of Duty Mobile with friends and I'm planning to play League of Legends mobile when it comes out. What should I do?

  • Right now. a more interesting comparison is between the recent Redmi Note 7S and the latest Redmi Note 8. Both 4GB/64GB variants are Rs 9999 at present and here in India. Which is a better option and why?

  • Hi please guide which one should I buy Redmi Note 8 or Redmi Note 7. I hear Redmi Note 7 Processor performs better than Redmi Note 8's Processor.

  • Samsung phones are shit coz they use their shitty exynos processors -_- screen is of no use when the engine(processor) of your phone is a crap

  • That's why always go for super amoled which is available in most Samsung A series. China phones tend to use just normal amoled except for some very few models

  • A high quality IPS screen is better than a low quality OLED screen.

  • This phone clearly has a notch

  • If it has LED on front then yes. On the call recording thing. I do not know. I have it on my phone. Lenovo VIBE K5 NOTE and I have never use it.

  • Is this phone worth it? Will gsmarena review this?

  • Mr. LOL, he is saying the truth... Selfie Camera is all Xiaomi phones are weaker than the competitors because, lack of details and overexposed images... 90% of the time, you'll get overexposed background... If you can't check by your own then watch on YouTube... Good luck

  • Thanks to realme's competition now xiaomi are providing much better phones for very affordable price When brands compete we get best for cheap price (only available in midrange battle)

  • LoL

  • Hi Frndz, Anyone tell me plz note 8 have auto call recording option? Or have notification light for miscall & unread msg alerts. Plz reply ASAP. Regard,

  • No Amoled

  • Why XIOMI not improve front camera.....even in note 5 pro/6 pro has 20mp....in nearly 2020 now 13mp front cam is useless.....if this has 25mp front cam then killer under 10k.... #good things is fast charger in box& dedicated SD slot #price is same as china

  • Dear u should go for note 8 pro as u want to click more and more pic and for pubg it will perform same.

  • No Amoled Display lol

  • Both have same camera sensor that is samsung isocell

  • Redmi note 8 has wide angle and macro camera better battery life and better notch Redmi note 7 has HD and High option in Pubg

  • Should I go for Redmi Note 7 or Redmi Note 8? Why? P.s I do play games like PUBGM & use camera a lot.

  • Plz XIOMI launch a camera phone with large battery & amoled display like #64+12+8+2/32mp & 4k eis 2x zoom #snap 665 /710/675/712 anyone #6.5"FHD+samoled #4500mah battery with 18w Like Vivo z1x under 15k

  • Thats sad to know.. =(

  • Thanks for the answer, I thought NFC was Nano Fiber Coating.

  • firstly, thanks for answering. what if we set aside the additional sensors which are installed on note 8 and talk about the performance of 48mp camera lens which would main perform from normal photo shots. what are your views in this perspective.

  • Kindly attach the said video link

  • The point is, we have taken into account the main 48 mp camera of both sensor and the back end image processing tech. Now add some valuable remarks.

  • Only good for talk and text on TMobile.

  • What is result of Selfie camera; is it good as mentioned in features

  • Neutron Flux Capacitor Same technology as fitted on the DeLorean in Back to the Future

  • Will gsmarena review this phone?

  • The Redmi Note 8 has a better rear camera compared to the Redmi Note 7 because it has a 2MP macro camera lens capable of taking pictures of little objects with more clarity.

  • When i hide notch. Display not stable from the top of screen Need help to stable it

  • Do you know if the Chinese version can be used in Mexico?

  • Does someone has a sample IMEI no. from a Global version? I just want to check if it would work for T-mobile network on USA. Specially for the 4G LTE network. Thanks!

  • I also don't have clarity regarding the rear camera result difference of red mi note 7 & red mi note 8. is there anybody who could explain and guide which one is better?

  • (nfc) stand for Near Field communication

  • maybe different sensor such as samsung GM1 on note 7 and GM2 on note 8

  • Dude, go to Ash's video, C4ETECH youtube channel, he has the best comparison between Note 7 and Note 8's rear camera, but obviously in the selfie department note 8 wins.

  • The main purpose of 48 mp or 64mp cameras is pixel binning to improve lowlight proformance so these cameras are not useless unless you know how it works. Even if u get a true 48mp shot you r not going to use it anywhere

  • Both redmi note 7 and redmi note 8 has the same sensor which is samsung isocell

  • Technically, what actually the difference between 48 mp of redmi note 7 and 48 mp of redmi note 8 sensors; on paper specification they exactly the same? Kindly guide seriously and thoroughly.

  • What is nfc

  • Note 8 doesn't have NFC. Note 8 pro does

  • Too many samsnug salesman here. The actual battle is this vs realme 5. R5 got a bit lower price with regular charger but has 5000mAh; RN8 got typeC and the (useless?) 48mp and better screen resolution. The price gap is closing to realme 5 pro which uses SD712

  • Gaming is better on Redmi Note 7 with Snapdragon 660... Snapdragon 665 is not as powerful as 660

  • redmi note 8 can't make video 1080p 60fps ... wwhy ???

  • Guys should I buy Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 or Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 for gaming? I am a heavy user. I played games such as PUBGM & MLBB a lot.

  • Nice. Thats essential for me. Unfortunately Most of the new phones don't have this feature which is not difficult for phone makers to do this.

  • Yes

  • It have dedicated slot. 2 for sim card + 1 for memory card

  • Does it have hybrid sim slot or dedicated micro SD card ? It doesn't mentioned in the specifications.

  • Is there inbuild call record in dialer?

  • Does this have NFC?

  • Really? OMG that's great! (I'm really going to dig into this).

  • does it really recording videos in 960fps? i checked the xiaomi site and there wasn't anything about note 8 that recording 960fps, just 240fps! but about note 8 pro in xiaomi site, they said it recording in 960fps.

  • Because mi A3 has a screen that matches 2015 J7 at its best

  • Fun fact: Snapdragon 660 in the predecessor outperforms the 665 in this phone.

  • imx 586 only on ; mi 9 lite / cc9, mi 9 and mi 9t pro

  • no only 4000 mAh

  • glass

  • look to the picture, there is one in the center. it looks transparent

  • Gorilla glass 5

  • Then don't buy either &#128512;

  • Below the camera

  • Plastic if I'm not mistaken.

  • Read the specs!

  • Today i just saw on Xiaomi Fb page that they are announcing it. Camrea is slighty weaker than Note 8 pro which is 64mp... Qualcomms Snapdragon 660 series are great for mid range phones and for 48mp sensor. Cool phone for every day use with 5000mAh not 4000mAh that You mentioned.&#128521;&#128522;

  • Just wanted to know if there's huge difference between cameras of note 8 and note 8 pro. Want a phone for day to day operations like FB, WhatsApp etc. Confused between note 8, note 8 pro and realme 5 pro.

  • Rear mounted fingerprint ?? I dont see any sensor on the back

  • Glass back

  • samsung isocell

  • What camera sensor this phone use? Samsung ISOCELL or Sony IMX?

  • Plastic or glass back cover?

  • Android one and low display resolution of a3 is not suitable for everyone, and the technology used in the AMOLED display is pen tile, which is huge disappointment for book readers specially on 720p display.

  • Yes my frend

  • Please let me know if this phone sells grobally?

  • In the chinese variant it comes with 18w fast inside the box but in global variant it comes with standrad charger which is 10 watt

  • why note 8, when there is a mi A3? super amoled (yea, lower density, but still very good one)

  • Coming with 18w charger??

  • Is this phone support HFR Mode on Mobile lagging bang2?

  • Ya

  • I think you should buy note 8 it's thin or it's gorgeous e: back , it also comfortable to using

  • Better go for Note 8. Not much different between 42 and 64MP in term of photo view because of display capability. Screen display technology has not much progression.

  • Phones are completely different.Also note 8 is not 100$ cheaper,it's about 30-40$. My recommendation between this two is note 8 pro.But if u can give little more,then take Mi 9t.

  • Hello. which one to buy? note 8 pro or note 8? As I compare here their specifications are almost the same. Pls give me your recommandations. For me as I am not a technology person, the notable difference is in their cameras))) note 8 is 100 dollars cheaper than note 8 pro.

  • does it support wireless charging?

  • When is phn launching in India in Amazon or filpkart

  • Why plastic build? There are no metal phones coming. So sad.

  • does this phone support led notifcation light

  • Yes. It has Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both front and back. Note 8 now has a dedicated MicroSD card slot too. Note 8 Pro is hybrid.

  • It runs on pubg smoothly no drop frame rates best budget phone

  • Redmi Note 8 now has dedicated Micro SD Card slot

  • Please answer me if there is gorilla glass in front and back. ?

  • No protection on Xiaomi redmi note 8, same thing on my Xiaomi redmi 6 pro, first time it fell , the touch glass broke even though glass protection I put on it, to my surprise the glass didn't broke, I have to replace it.but my note 4x I have been using it for 2 years now, and it has fell several times, the touch and screen is still intact.

  • Active Noise cancellation option is present in redmi note 8...?

  • Active Noise cancellation option are present or not in this phone

  • 12.12.2020 confirmed release date for Redmi Note 8 Global variant

  • plz sir conform release date

  • Which camera sensor this phone use? Sony or samsung?ty.

  • is this otg supported

  • Check AliExpress

  • Redmi note 8 is better...

  • No man, you wrong!! SD665 Powered any phones has not support in HD graphics....

  • [LOL] Redmi Note 8/8 pro has not launched in INDIA and XIAOMI has not given any clue of its launch date...And you are talking about its first sale....

  • Redmi Note 8 Pro is already launched last month I believe, althogh its China ROM no Global ROM launch yet.

  • Which store is selling the cheapest that ships worldwide?

  • On which Date Redmi Note 8 come in india and any news First Sale In india

  • Redmi note 8 pro lanching date

  • Thanks man. I'm going to buy Redmi Note 7 very soon. Blue one looks cool.

  • Yes SD660 has better performance than SD665., the smooth operation by the device is not all attributed to the processor but also the OS or Firmwire so keep your phone updated.

  • both are on par with each other not much different in performance just one thing is that none of SD665 powered phones has HD setting in Pubg. But as you said you are not a gamer so it will be good enough for you

  • Battery will be OK for me as I'm not gamer or power user. Many people say that Snapdragon 660 is more powerful and faster than Snapdragon 665. Is it true? Reply please. Is Redmi Note 7 smooth or lags? I'm not gamer.

  • Skip A50 or you risk using a phase out phone by next year.

  • Buy the note 8 its much efficient than redmi 8 due to the processor fabrication and look up miui blogs for best battery management tips.

  • Your battery management must not be correctly configured, my note 7 last one day from full charge with full day use surfing, social media and downloading.

  • Because?

  • Skip both... A50 will be a wiser choice

  • Redmi Note 8 should have better battery optimization at 11nm process, the SD 660 on the note 7 is a battery hog. I own one.

  • Should I buy Redmi Note 8 or Redmi Note 7? Specs are very similar. Please help me.

  • Hey, Google camera will definitely work on the Note 8 out of the box but it will take longer for Note 8 PRO since it has a Mediatek chip (not a Snapdragon) which does not support GCam. However, there are a couple Honor phones with mediatek and gcam apps working, so there's hope.

  • When will it be available in the UK. If so send me a link to buy it plz

  • Because it's not available in my country

  • Let't not over complicate it. The simple explanation is the the SD665 is a more power efficient version of the SD660. The performance difference is so small it's negligible.

  • Why not Realme 5 pro or Realme XT??? it has better selfie camera then note 8/note 8 pro...

  • I can't decide between Note 8 pro and Note 8, is selfie camera really that different 13vs20MP. Also will google camera work on them ?

  • Because SD660 has Kyro 260 gold and Kyro 260 silver; Kyro 260 gold has maximum speed of 2.2Ghz and kyro 260 silver which has maximum speed of 2.0Ghz: Which other side SD665 has same kyro 260 gold and kyro 260 silver, but kyro 260 gold has maximum speed of 2.0Ghz.Which is effects on phone's performance and gaming. So i think SD660 is better... But Taking about power efieciant SD665 is better, because SD665 is built on 11nm process which SD660 is built on 14nm process.....

  • When it will available in bangladesh

  • how is SD660 better than SD665? pls explain

  • i think realme Q much better

  • You can buy Redmi Note 7s because it has back/front gorilla glass 5 protection and Taking about performance SD 660 is better Then SD665...

  • Frame is made of plastic (same as Note 7, Mi A3), front and back is glass (in version CGG;5).

  • Even better, Global version is out

  • The phone is front and back Corning gorilla glass 5 why am I seeing plastic body here?

  • ­

  • Now it is available in Chinese markets and Xiaomi Stores

  • Why ? The only possible answer I can think of is, if you use to drop your phone oftentimes.

  • Can you please tell me where it's available

  • Oh yes. It has Gorilla glass. :)

  • Yeah, but much more expensive (almost double the price)… Plus Huawei has no audiojack, no radio, no infrared... Do not compare apples with pears.

  • Metal frame and glass back...

  • Global ROM is out...

  • Anyone knows.. When this phone exits on Europe?

  • plastic body is much better of glass body

  • When is it going to be released worldwide?

  • If it's plastic body i ain't buying dis shittt

  • great spec n cheap price thn other thts verryyy niceee... hpe xiaomi can make flip camera like zenfone 6z but in midrange spec n flgship..but use flip 3 or 4 lens camera battery give higher 5000-6000mah++ n give 18/20w ++ fst chrge like samsung m30s 6000mah but it juz 15w.. so xiaomi must can give 6000mah 18w/20w must be massiveeee bttry long lsting

  • How is this low quality? And how is 200$ expensive for a phone with 6 ram, 64 rom, 48mpx, 4000 battery. Are you dense?

  • But it comes with a quad camera...

  • No gorilla Glass oh no

  • Hi all Please help me decide between note 7s 64gb for 10000 inr and note 8.which is better.

  • Ok then that xiaomi loses its only advantage low quality but low price ........now its the same low quality with a regular price like others even with a lcd not an affordable amoeled like samsung this year.

  • Plastic body ?!? :-( :-x This has gotta be a really BAD JOKE !!!

  • Just donate those guys a phone, if you are so smart, Chamillionaire !!

  • Always First a shock price for a propaganda then the real price in market and a huge difference between storages simultaneous with no release of the least storage.......so mean

  • of course it will become expensive overseas because the manufacturer will have to pay for taxes, brokerage fees etc. depending on the country where the units are exported... you go to china if you want to buy it in its original price... anything now adays isnt always as cheap as you used to be in ur cheap daily lifestyle...

  • It's not first time for price differences, on aliexpress, those (re)sellers have price of this phone, CN version, for 170 euros (and like i wrote its 130 in store).. Anyway, global version will be on the market in this month, so we will see prices..

  • Would've bought these for the whole family if it were 130, guess ill go back to note 7

  • In china its only cny999 (approx. usd140) So why the hell is it so expensive overseas? Seems like Xiaomi are intentionally ripping us off

  • It's a 140$ in Mi store in China and thats a less than 130 euros... So if you wanna that price you need to go in China

  • I just can't wait. Can anyone tell me when it will be available in India. Specially it's global version.

  • U funny cheapos look like idiots complaining about prices. If u believe xiaomi will listen to you so that you could just get the price you wanted, then you are mistaken. Just simply don't buy a phone if u cannot afford one.

  • U funny cheapos look like idiots complaining about prices. If u believe xiaomi will listen to you so that you could just get the price you wanted, then you are mistaken. Just simply don't buy a phone if u cannot afford one.

  • First they said its 130€ NOW its 190 they are always do that thing they are liars ......ofcourse samsung A20s and A30s with amoeled

  • 130 sa suddenly 190 EUR kislia!???????

  • Thanks

  • I want buy it

  • front/back = glass, frame = plastic 100%

  • corning gorilla glass both front & back. and aluminium frame.

  • Nope

  • On 23 september

  • You can see it above, in the phone specs

  • we want the review

  • When is the launch date of note 8?

  • Can play fortnite on this phone ?

  • "Other"

  • That's why he said 'other Chinese', not 'Chinese'

  • Available at AliExpress

  • Xiaomi is chinese too v:

  • It's Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and plastic on the back

  • It has gorilla 5 via youtube.

  • I am sure that Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 will have Corning Gorilla glass 5 on front and back of the phone. And the IPS LCD display that Xiaomi Redmi used is better than other Chinese brands like HUAWEI, oppo and vivo.

  • I wouldn't buy phone with Oled display. I use 2 programs 2h every day and Oled would burn out pixels quickly. As for me IPS is the choice be it Huawei, Xiaomi, or else. I look forward to Redmi Note 8 being available in Europe. Just 2 things: start making smartphones rain-resistant and add wireless battery charging...

  • It's Gorilla Glass 5 on front and back

  • No mention of gorilla. What a letdown when in fact the RN7 has it.

  • Hahahaha goodluck with that 130 Euro for full display hahahahaahahahaahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhahahah­hahaha

  • No amoeled ...even no corning gorilla .....just xiaomi's garbage LCD

  • I need fullscreen / fulldisplay

  • 167,000+ on Antutu. Nice phone.

  • And that market is Asia.WE CANT GET Oppo in Europe.

  • it hasn't released yet

  • redmi note 9...........sd710 redmi note 9 pro.........sd712

  • febuary 2020 u will see redmi note 9 with Sd712, indisplay finger, super amoled, 4500 or 5000 battery, dedicated sd card.... still 48 + maybe Tof 3d, motorized selfie cam better to be under 154mm

  • Realme Q is launched as Realme 5 pro in other countries and is competing with redmi note 8 pro. It is cheap just in China only. In other markets, it is priced around that of redmi note 8 pro.

  • I can't find even one.

  • To be honest, I think that the vanilla Note8 isn't a proper successor for the vanilla Note7. Realme Q will easily outperform it, because: 1- it has better cameras (Back: 48+8+2+2 / Selfie: 16) 2- it has a very much better chipset, the SD712. Which is better than every SD6xx. 3- While offering these 2 advantages, it has the same price of the vanilla Note8 (130 euro). All in all, I hope brands like Realme and Meizu keep up the good work and never let Xiaomi to be alone in making "Value-for-Money" Smartphones.

  • 130€ seems too little when comparing this phone to the Redmi Note 7 which sells for about 170€ right now for about the same specs.. I think it will probably sell at 200€ or so

  • This good phone has very rare youtube reviews.

  • is it released in the markets ? i can not find it in any chinees store

  • It should be there, there is not official confirmation yet, but it should retain same build specs like RN7 - GG5 front and back. It would be a real nonsense to replace the back with some plastic glass imitation.

  • 665 is weaker then 660 in performance but its more power efficent

  • It is already official

  • so where is gorilla glass?!!!

  • Wait for official release

  • The price is too good to be true. Love it. The camera for the price is so amazing. A very good midrange for this price wow!

  • If you can actually buy Note 8 (not just pre-order) in China, GSMArena should update its status to "released". I've spotted it but my current phone doesn't work good with certain sites. About price, global version will be somewhat priceier in E.U. though not too much. Also may be a bit above Note 7's price so it doesn't kill it but it will anyway. Note 7 must drop then if sellers want to get rid of the stock. Agree Mi 9T is pretty good especially for that price but I'd rather have full support for this particular model which means buy from local seller and 128GB (no slot). That makes it not as good buy as you mention (still not bad but there are alternatives). CC9 could be also Mi (not A3) model with MIUI in global market. Those are all just rumors for now, though.

  • Read opinions below

  • Please give me an opinion about that Is SD665 is better than SD660? And chipset is better than SD665? Thanks

  • Heh, that will be nice, CC9 for Global version (and stock) Mi A3 Pro, Xiaomi use for some reason to much "Pro" Naming. About regular Note 8, it's on sale in China, with Chinese (and English) languages, only, price is for 4/64 about 160 euros.. But knowing Xiaomi pricing.. after 2,3 week, all phones goes lower with price, so to sum up, in the end of this month there will be Global version (maybe 3/32GB varian as well), and standard 4/64 will be about 150 euros, of course, not in EU, but on online shop sites. Note 8 Pro, well, like you said it's Mediatek (maybe good one, but still) no chance for Gcam port, it seems with 8.8, and in couple youtube videos, to thick, it's heavy, big phone.. i bet, Note 8 with 665 and 6.3" screen and 4000mAh battery will last longer between charges, than Note 8 Pro, with G90T, 4500mAh, and 6.53" screen.. in my opinion MI9T is the best choice (for now) price is less than 250 euros, for base model 6/64GB, but for that price we get really good mid range Qualcomm processor (730) really good Amoled with full HD plus resolution, even, small bezells, with pop up front camera. Battery is also good, cameras.. well it's not bad, and have best (back) design in Red, Blue.

  • Tell them to improve loudspeaker and camera quality in A series and then if CPU, screen size and price is right it's possible :) .

  • Samsung bro go Samsung especially this year and stop wasting money on a cheap products.

  • If they really launch global version of Note 8 this month they must in China as well. Or it'll be as usual: China first, others later. You're right they make different phones (versions) for India. So far they said working on Pro for India, I'm still not sure there will be global version released. Well yes it's bigger it must compete with 9X Pro which is even bit bigger and heavier. (budget phone with big screen and good performance) That MTK is still question, needs to be tested, more information about it... it seems it's as fast as they say and camera not bad either, though. We'll see later. For somebody who wants compact cheap AMOLED A3 price is fine, it's little hard to accept HD in 2019 though... I expect CC9 will have global version too and then nobody can complain about not enough options.

  • is it released in the markets ?

  • Maybe, it's the identical phone, just with differente charger, more english letters on the box, manual, more LTE Bands for other markets, and yes, certifications in MIUI for other markets.. Thats always caee with Xiaomi and their phones for China/Global markets, they are the same. For India, they not. About Note 8 Pro, sure, it will be also in Global version, even the price is not much higher, but it seems to big phone, also MediaTek inside.. Who knows. Now, Mi A3 is even cheaper, abou 170 euros for 4/64, yes its only HD Plus screen, but its compact phone have amoled, good battery, cameras, under ecreen fps, and simple software..

  • If true, Chinese and global Note 8 must be actually released at the same time. I've heard this too. Agree with price estimate. Do you think it's certain they'll release Pro globally?

  • Overall compared to RN7, upgrade of RN8 is camera while price remains same or lower. That's not bad. Glass was said below. Why would you expect AMOLED in one of the cheapest phones. There are plenty of AMOLEDs here, Xiaomi or other. Just pick something else. Even if this screen isn't the best, you said it it's cheap. (BTW have you seen some information about it or tests?) If you prefer better must pay more. Sadly it's not a rule, makers don't put best quality LCDs into even more expensive models.

  • You can follow aliexpress sote, there is Chinese version (for now) price is about 190 USD - 160 euros for 4/64 variant.. Global version with more LTE bands for EU, or US will be out in mid this month, price, i guess will be similar to this Chinese version, of Note 8

  • Back is made of glass (GG5), but yes, frame is still plastic (like in Note 7). Then again, price is even lower than Note 7, or it will be in week or so.. Only that branding on the front, don't know im not a fan of that (same goes for Huawei, or Honor branding on the front)

  • There is no any upgrade there is no amoeled display .....just the same cheapest screen and back to their plastic again.

  • Not at 130 EUR for sure

  • It's there, according to pictures looks well disguised though. Try click 'pictures' above and take a closer look at blue one.

  • i cant see the finger print sensor?can u see it.in specs it was in rear but picture shows nothing?anybody have any idea?

  • But this phone can't play fortnite and just like 7pro don't think we getting the note 8 pro in my country

  • That GPU is quite Over Powered Though

  • Samsung has came back to the stage so strong this year

  • Sorry not "deficient" but "effective" below.

  • In terms of decide which one buy it actually doesn't matter they're pretty much the same. 665 more deficient, 660 seems perform a bit better. Not really an upgrade here.

  • A good price for a good phone, Xiaomi never disappoints me.

  • Regarding the global version, I am particularly looking for LTE bands 2,4 and 7 so I can use it in the US (just like the Xiaomi Note 7). How long approximately before it goes out?

  • The will be Global version, just like with every Xiaomi phone, first China version for Chinese market, after that Global version, vesion for India market.. Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 will be on sale in Global version (Band 20, eu charger, english letters on the box, and manual... Etc) starting 15 septembre. Price is still inknown, but i guess 4/64 will be around 150 euros on online shops like aliexpress

  • Samsung A20 &A30 with the amoled displays is now The real values for money

  • Yes it is

  • No,just in battery draining,but I'm performance sd 660 is even better.

  • Yes....it use smaller technology (11 nm) compare to s660(14nm)....better gpu but slow a little bit

  • The Snapdragon 665 (launched 2019) is the successor of the old 636. The Snapdragon 660 was of a higher performance tier than the 630 series at the time (both launched 2017). So it's like comparing a previous generation core i5 with a new generation core i3 CPU. To answer your question, in some benchmarks the old 660 performs a little bit better than the newer 665, however the 665 is more energy efficient owing to it's 11nm lithography and newer techonology.

  • It’s expected to be real eased in India 1 month after it has been released in China

  • Y’all here comparing Redmi phone series which are meant to be midrange budget with high end MI models. Of course the cpu and specs are going to be lower. It’s how they would keep their budget down, to make these phone more affordable. If you don’t like the Redmi series them piss off to another model.

  • It will come out eventually, but in a few months time

  • Plastic and from xiaomi means its the cheapest worst plastic ever

  • Yep

  • Snapdragon 665 is better than 660?

  • Oh yes sorry the gpu is definitely worse than the 835 has but the cpu power is the same or even better because of the nano technology power efficient! The gpu is a 6xx series adreno which is the latest its not fast but android recognize apps by the technology so that means you can play games that are not available for older gpus even if they are so much faster like the adreno 540

  • It's glass

  • Do you mean there won't be a global version at all? Or a global version will eventually come out?

  • with plastic body it's too heavy at 190gm! I'm definitely avoiding this

  • Have u red Mi A3 review which has SD665? The single core perfomance is a little bit inferior but the multicore perfomance does the opposite. Yes the GPU is a little bit inferior but of course it has more power efficient.

  • This SD665 has lower clock speed than SD660 BUT better in graphics dept and is more power efficient.

  • Lol the sd665 has in no possible way a better gpu than the sd835. Not even the newest mid-range top dog sd730 can beat the 835's adreno 540 in performance.

  • It will be, soon, there is also no Global version, yet, but it will be in this month on sale

  • Now this phone is perfect in its category! What else do you need from a midrange phone?! It is now a more competitive model than any other before! The Chip Snapdragon 665 is a new one Only 150 days old and we can compare this CPU with the Snapdragon 835 whis is a high end one but this 665 has better GPU and is more efficient than the 835. + 4/6GB RAM with 64GB space and all this for just 130€? buying immediately

  • Just 130 € !!!!

  • The SD 665 might be more effecient but it clearly lost 200 MHz compared to the SD 660 if you haven't noticed. Then the GPU seems to be weaker than the one in SD 660 based on what the Mi A3 scored in GFX 1080p off screen.

  • So you think SD 660 > 665? Come-on

  • Are you sure its not 230€

  • You didn't get the point

  • 665 is only battery efficent but is a weaker soc

  • Only thing note 8 has is thin bezels and a ultra wide camera plus has plastic back and a prcessor with weaker gpu when compared to note 7

  • There is no 3/32 gb varient

  • Can anyone tell when will it be released in INDIA ? Really waiting for it.

  • If the price is lower than N7, then N8 wins

  • But, this phone in China official Mi store is (just) 125 euros, for 4/64 GB version, 3/32 is even cheaper.. For that price i guess it will be good phone

  • Yes, no amoled screen, but have full hd plus resolution (A3 have HD plus), but is it true that this Note 8 have plastic back, not glass?

  • I hate notch design

  • Yes no NFC, available only on the Pro version

  • c'mon rn8 screen body ratio is better and have a better soc

  • No it's glass

  • Explain

  • Redmi note 7 came this year January 2019 wtf you saying a year old when its just 6 months.

  • Same price like Note 7 but better camera and CPU thats awesome.

  • Redmi Note 8 vs. Redmi Note 7, specs & build category the latter is a clear winner!

  • Then i think you have to go on with the meizu. Notch can be hidden though.

  • The price difference bet Mi A3 and this one which are same in all things except the amoeled screen

  • I WONDER why notch, water drop notch, punch hole or motorized cam just do it like before, just like what meizu 16 series do they put selfie cam where it belongs, just like oldschool day, look @ to meizu 16s pro with sd855+ why not you do that

  • Please sort Xiaomi all phones by release date. Thanks.

  • add this too no indisplay fingerprint by the way what happen to redmi 8 5000Mah ?

  • Why is the weight is so heavy (190g) if using plastic back? Weird and confusing.

  • the starting price of RN7 for 3/32 in first release day 15january was 147$ & now 4/64 RN8 is 140$ why equal price? bcuz nothing change, no super amoled,no more battery, no motorized cam, no change in chipset if you wanna change, must go for redmi k20 series or you wanna super amoled screen must go for cc9 series, cc9e with a lag of Hd+ screen(depend to yourself)

  • The Adreno 610 is what i looking for. The proccessor is pretty much same expect Redmi Note 8 is quite better. I am also hoping the MIUI are not the same one from Re Note 7 which is really sensitive to heat and slow down your phone.

  • I think it's a plastic.

  • Please is it a front and back glass or a front glass plastic body

  • Why is this phone so heavy?? Such a poorly designed phone The price of 130eur makes sense bcoz that's the only way for xiaomi to compete with A30

  • Body ratio still down 81.7 and more thick 8.4 The redmi 5 to 7 was 8.1 I'm disappointed Oppo Is far way better for 40$ more

  • But at multi core sd660 have a better score. And in smartphone single core performance is rarely used

  • No they almost the same .....amoeled screens is the real killer ......lcds is weigh nothing compared to any amoleod

  • You right i agree except the A50 scores 1700 on geekbench while sd 660 score 1600 at single core

  • really you must ask this question from yourself what was the difference btw redmi note 5 pro & redmi note 6 pro? nothing, just a notch & now whats a difference btw redmi note 7 & redmi note 8? nothing everything same,maybe just a little bit in camera, both have 48Mp

  • Is that confirm no NFC?

  • A20 comparable to sd632 while a30 is between sd632 and sd636 and a50 has the same performance as sd 660

  • yes A30&50 the best, but snapdragon is killing it! lol

  • bru its only 130 euro compare to a30 which is 230 euro

  • Samsung A20 compared to snabdragon 636 on geekbench score........A30 close to 660 with a little difference ......A50 easily overcomes 660 & 665 which in this one ...........all that with an amoeled display which is much much ofcourse weigh better than a cheap lcd .......who offers a better value for money?

  • Lcd performs almost the same as OLED .but rn8, it got the best-built quality, camera, processors battery, charging speed.

  • Global version, soon™

  • A30 have full hd plus super amoled screen. A20 have hd plus..

  • A50 Exynos 9610 is little bit more powerful than sd660.

  • Because it's one year old. Phones are improving very fast

  • Both a30 and a50 have worse camera plastic build terrible speakers and audio quality less performance and dounle the price A50 competes with mi 9t. They cost the same price while a30 competes with redmi note 8 pro

  • Same performance? The chip inside a50 is somewhat close to sd660 but the one on a30 is just a shit. It is equal to sd 400 series chips.

  • It is not amoled ......a cheap lcd is no thing compared to oled .............still galaxy A30 ,A50 wins with its oleds & almost the same performance ...samsung now offer a better value for money.

  • 6+64 + dedicated sd card nice

  • where is REDMI 8 ????

  • But 100$ more expensive

  • Yes but with a HD+ screen on A30 lol

  • Global Stable version?

  • With poor chipset right

  • not worth it. no amoled screen.

  • 130 eur...omg...

  • Still samsung A50 & A30 with oled screens offer really a better value for money.

  • I love this phone

  • If it's true that's it's cheaper than Redmi Note 7, this is a real value for money! Much better specs! How is Xiaomi doing this? I feel cheated that my *old* Redmi S2 is more expensive than this one. The hardware of Redmi S2 is vastly inferior.

  • Oled screen with almost the same performance in samsung A30 ...at the same price.

  • This is good, but the pro version is better especially for people that wanted a budget price phone( less than $250 US with good ( crazy good specs) plus NFC. The pro version got what xiaomi said a multi functional NFC. And the inferred is always a good thing to have to( no need for regular remote control, at all).

  • $1000RBM, that's less than $200USD and you get this kind of specs that's just crazy. But again, there will always people to complain about it.

  • No

  • Less price than note 7 , how is that possible ?

  • Hope it has a good build quality

  • Beautiful than his pro version

  • Very good for price

  • This is for sure better than real me 5 bcoz it has fast charging suport

  • So cheap with that price
