The Note 8 Pro is truly a wonderful set. But call recording is not an option in Pakistan. Is there a solution?

MAChishty

Excellent .. but not call recordings in Pakistani verient . Can anybody help me.

i'm a heavy gamer my rn8 pro are smooth no issue at all for now..still miui 10 no update in my region

raaj

It supports HDR which no other phone supports in this price, and HD videos looks crystal clear and crisp and very sharp

LEGAL WORD

Maizener, thanks for sharing your opinion.. do share your experience after updating miui 11.

LEGAL WORD

To all the Respected & Honorable users of Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro. This question is for people who have updated their phone to MIUI 11. • How is MIUI 11 on this phone compared to MIUI 10 in your opinion. • What is the status of Android 10 for this device..when will it be receiving the major update. Thank you for responding to the query.

Maizener

here is some of what i found after a week of usage: the phone is fast, i had no lags, i'm not a gamer so i didn't try that aspect, cameras are nice, specially the main and the selfie cameras, the ultra wide is handy but not for bragging photos, the micro camera is not that good. any way i found some issues that i hope to be solved within updates, such as the proximity sensor that some times gives a false signal that the screen is covered, i noticed that there are some notifications in the shed that disappears when you take it down, of course all issues are fixed when you reboot the phone, but it appear again after a day or tow. i'm updating the phone while writing this post to MIUI 11, i hope that will solve the problems and not start other problems...

I just received MIUI 11 but it is based on the Android 9.0/pie so I was wandering Will it get Android 10 update?

What is the issue with the screen when watching movies? They look great to me. Of course they will not be playing in hd on nerflix, but if you watch in hd or uhd video on YouTube it looks great. Perhaps I am missing something? Ian

I changed my phone from Xiaomi Mi 5 (sd 820) to this phone Redmi note 8 pro and you can feel that it is as good as the previous processor (sometimes better).

Hi, someone pls check if the vibration works when the call is connected and disconnected. Not working even after setting this to normal vibration mode. Pls suggest if there is a way out for this one

Is the G90t good if I'm upgrading from an sd820 phone?

Indeed, MIUI 11 rolling out in the Netherlands as well today. So far, runs butter smooth. Will see how it keeps up in the coming days. If it is anything like my Mi Max 2, MIUI 11 is a nice stable upgrade.

1) What is the latest Android version can this phone get? I never had a Xiaomi or Mediatek phone. I think currently android 9 is the highest version but we are expecting 10. It runs MIUI on top and phones are gradually upgrading to version 11 but I still have 10 2) How long does the battery last only if you use Chrome, Instagram, Youtube but NOT any game? Battery is very good. Often go to bed at night with 50% left, but of course it depends on your usage. 3) Does dark colors shows your fingerprints on the back panel? (My hands are sweaty all the time. Therefore, I'm thinking to get a white one) The back of my phone does show fingerprints but I don't really care to be honest - quick wipe every now and again does the job. 4) I'm not a heavy gamer but I like this phone and also battery life is my #1 criteria. I'm kind of between this and 9 Lite. I never had an AMOLED/OLED phone. What is your experience with these displays? Don't know anything about the other phone. The note doesn't have amoled, but I like the screen. 5) My only fear is that this phone will become outdated sooner than 9 Lite. What do you think of that? I think it will do me a couple of years. 6) What is the latest MUIU version and does the battery life get any better after the upgrade? See above 7) Last but stupid one: Does this phone fit in your pocket? I never had a large phone. Fits in my pocket just fine.

Well, I'm on 11.0.1 with no major issue so far. The minor is that delete keyboard delay, could be my mistake when typing. And I hope the display can be set to warm. Currently the default is too bluish even we select warm mode, unless we activate reading mode (which is too yellowish).

You will have people (who probably don't own the phone) tell you that the screen is not good because it is not amoled or it is cheap or some other reason. I do own the phone and the screen is good. Lovely to watch media on, nice and bright and I have no complaints. Of course it is not amoled which seems to bother some people. There are phones with better displays. But all round this is an amazing phone for the money . This is the great thing about android phones - there is so much choice!

Irhut

I do not have these issues and without sounding like a broken record - the screen is very good. Perhaps there are some bad ones out there - but mine is great.

How is the IPS display on this device? Is it a good quality display or not?

QD-OLED is totally different thing. The OLED part is only used as backlight while the QD does the color filtering. It's a good tech but the way it works is totally different feom AMOLED.

Does any one faces.. Photo Gallery issues..? The phone doesn't so images when internet connection is not there

DroidBoye

And yet you talk about IPS being bad? Xiaomi's bad displays are theirs, not the whole IPS technology. Do you get my point?

Anonymous

There's IPS badly made and quality IPS well made, Xiaomi currently uses IPS in their cheap phones and the displays need to be cheaply made, fast and without strict quality control.

DroidBoye

Old thing? Haha. There's not that much about the technology that you know. As long as there's still an organic material in there, deterioration would never be even in an AMOLED display. Once it started, one can only lower the overall brightness to hide it. Even Samsung knew that so well, in fact, they don't commit on using their own AMOLED as the main display panel of their premium TVs.

Tech expert

The brun in problem is old thing fella.. Joker

DroidBoye

I agree with your point. In fact, the user doesn't need to buy a new phone, his/her current phone is even still a viable one for the next years to come.

DroidBoye

I would assume that you're NOT tech savvy person and just wants a phone that just works. I would also assume that you might be a person that might play a video or even use split-screen while playing the video at the top and browsing at the bottom, you might also accidentally slept while doing so. In this case, I would suggest you to buy a phone with an IPS display and NOT an AMOLED. AMOLED screens needs special care to keep the organic part to EVENLY deteriorate while IPS LCD is robust and could even take abuses that AMOLEDs won't endure on a daily basis. For the span of 3 years, an IPS would still be the same as it is in day 1 while in AMOLED, it depends solely on the user and their understanding of it.

DroidBoye

AMOLED being the best doesn't mean IPS is bad. IPS is still best in its class without the burn-in problems associated with AMOLED.

DroidBoye

There's no audio-recording improvements in the hardware or even software of this phone. If you have a Redmi and recording very loud sounds, don't use stock camera app, use Open Camera and set the audio recording to "unprocessed" in Open Camera's setting.

DroidBoye

Poco F1 manufactured in India seems to have more problems with quality control. The Global ones (Pocophone F1) made in China were much more refined IPS panel. There's still light bleed at the bottom (because there's where the backlight is located hence the strongest light, it's an edge-lit display) which can obviously be seen on a pitch dark environment with screen set to show gray or pure black fill with brightness cranked to max. Apple devices with IPS will also show light bleed too when done with the same procedure but in normal usage but it's well-hidden with their translucent or blurred background UX design.

DroidBoye

Try using a new LTE sim card. I use dual SIM in my Pocophone both are TNT. I bought new one 1 month ago (because I lost my phone but eventually found it) and I noticed that new (Smart) SIMs have better support for 4G+ in terms of signal coverage. My old one is stuck in H+.

Kakarot

This is basically a waste of money man. No offense. I am from the Philippines too and I think that wouldn't be an upgrade on your part. It's like buying the same stuff but with a slightly different feature. Aim for a larger upgrade instead.

Here in the Philippines, Realme XT costs almost $80 more than the Redmi Note 8 pro. So the estimated price difference that you presented is far from what the actual price will be once the X2 is released here in the Philippines. So as far as the pricing here in our country is concern, Redmi Note 8 pro is the best bang for buck budget smartphone. Planning to get one this Christmas to replace my realme 3 pro

Let's see until my unit arrived. Realme XT is much more expensive than Redmi Note 8 pro in Indonesia, X2 will be miles more expensive for sure. AMOLED has burn risk which would be bad for gamers (for static navigation images).

Anonymous

Really wanna see what I am talking about on Xiaomi's IPS screens? Just watch our paid xiaomi agents below praise the poco f1 screen and tell you that amoled is way more expensive. The price difference between the AMOLED realme X2 and this is about 12-13 USD, the snapdragon 730g in the X2 is well within the performance range of the mediatek helio P90t without the disadvantages like heating and updates.

Liquid Cooling means there's a semi flat heatpipe running deep inside the phone, so there's no way the heatpipe would be affected unless the phone is literally ripped in half. (I suggest watching the Teardown on Xiaomi's official YouTube channel.) In short, it won't get 'broken'.

Alia

It have liquid cooling technology..suppose if phone falls & the liquid inside it leaks what can I do in that case?? Will phone be damaged

sq2013

Utter nonsense. The phone is big because that's the way the market is going. The display is extremely good. Lcd is not as good as amoled but there are very good Lcd panels. Look at the popularity of the pocophone f1 with a very good Lcd ips panel. You pay way more for amoled and it is really not that big of a difference. This phone is about 200 euros, has a very powerful chipset, competing strongly in tests against the Snapdragon 845 of last year. It has a huge display with very small bezels and a very small notch. It's got a massive battery. It has a really eye catching design, nfc, fast charging so you can bag it all you want but there's going to be many takers.

Can I upgrade q

Yes man but realme x2 competes in price very well with the note 8 pro, if mi 9t were the same price as note 8 pro it would put it out of the market in seconds. Realme is really pushing, Xiaomi is surely starting to feel the pressure real hard from this guys right now.

Anonymous

A decent modern amoled phone will have settings to tone down the screen, did you tried that? In fact pixel phones got criticized for coming out with a natural looking amoled, had to create a settings menu for people to choose what they wanted.

Anonymous

Mi 9t is better than realme x2

Anonymous

Lol baseless rambling. continue....

Anonymous

Realme X2 seems a real contender to the note 8 pro, with the 7nm chip and the AMOLED display it will not need more battery. The note 8 pro holds some performance advantage until it starts throttling, long run tests would be nice to have to determine what's the net impact. Audio and display, even size and weight are nicer in the realme x2. If you are not a hard core gamer I wouldn't touch the note 8 pro just because of the bad display and the X2 snapdragon assurance of continued updates, the mediatek SOC can't guarantee.

Anonymous

The rear cameras are pretty bad except for stills from the main one preferably in good lightning, even from this camera video is unremarkable to many. The display is pretty bad with uneven backlighting issues around the notch and at the bottom. If you are not going to need the fast but heating processing you can do better with other phones, either below, at or above the price of this one, as I have stated before this phone is an option for heavy gamers on the cheaps but not for other users.

Anonymous

If you don't have a dime more than the Rs 15000 to spend and want something right about now and are a *heavy* gamer you can buy this based on a two year life expectancy. It is unclear the long term support for this device and all that will contain the p90t, if it sales in big numbers AND most importantly if it's heating tendencies can be fully controlled with updates. There is a very disturbing video where this device is set to record 4K video in a case, it enters overheating protect mode in about 3 minutes disabling the led, the camera and the GPS, same test is done to the Mi 9T and nothing happens to it and much less battery percentage was lost against the note 8 pro. So there you go, think about what you are going to do, life is all about smart decisions.

I wonder what those 'plenty of better options' are? Since this phone beats all other contenders in gaming, there's only 2 areas where it could fail 1. Camera 2. Display The camera on this phone is really good given the price it comes in at. I think it is up there on top 3 atleast. According to me, the display is not as bad as some are suggesting it to be.

Anonymous

I noticed the same. Videos aren't clear at all. I use a Mi max 2 and even with a 360 resolution the videos look decent and clear but on Redmi note 8 pro, even at 720 they lose sharpness and clarity. And if you have to use 1080 for clarity then you'll have to sacrifice a lot of data.

i have switched from amoled to IPS, and i would prefer IPS over Amoled any day as it got accurate colors

Ken

No its not.

If you are not a gamer, pick another phone,this is too heavy, too big, bad display, ads, moderate heating and slow updates due to mediatek. For long term use it's better something lighter, smaller, colder, amoled display so you can see the vids with beautiful deep blacks instead of light bleeding, clouding, dirty screen effect, bad blacks and other nags of IPS displays.

No it doesn't according to my understanding

Anonymous

I think it looks fine to me. But if you are coming from smaller screen then this could be the reason as larger screen will display more blur because it is higher in resolution and the images are bigger. However not all videos on youtube are of same quality some are natively bad in quality so even if you crank upto 1080p the resolution will not be clear. Try watching some good quality videos like music videos.

YouTube on redmi note 8 pro is blurry, even 480p is like 240p only I wonder if there is anyone facing the same problem and is there is any way to fix it?

Mi 9 lite

Anonymous

Mi 9 lite has the better screen, if that's important to you, you have a winner. Redmi note 8 pro screen is unremarkable and the processor heats up quite a bit and since it's mediatek you won't get updates so frequently. Since gaming is not your main thing I think either phone will do speed wise, just pick at least the 128 gb version of whatever you choose to don't run out of space. Definitely Mi 9 lite would be my pick in your circumstances between those two, mediatek is already working on 7nm processors, so next gen processors from them will run cooler no doubt.

Hi I want buy a phone which on of "note 8 pro" or "mi 9 lite" is better whit my condition? 1. I want it for at least 4 years and stay fast after 3 or 4 years. 2.

Lol upgrade is not dependable on processor. If it did every android phone will be running on Snapdragon. This phone will get android 10 for sure and likely to get android 11 as well.

Anonymous

Hii Efe, Your uncertainty is justifiable. But let me tell you Redmi Note 8 Pro will receive Android 10 update with Miui 11 Update for sure. Regarding long-term reliability this processor can be trusted in the update department. Some old Snapdragons chips were bad in past, they developed much better. But this dosen't mean that any other company (mediatek) ain't any efficient/good. Mediatek with Redmi can be trusted. Even in my old phone (Lenovo) with Snapdragon in it didn't received any update after lollipop. So it depend's upon the company and i can say redmi is trustable.

efe

Pls is it possible that this phone receives upgrades like note 6 pro and note 7 pro. Since it's using MTK. I learnt MTK don't get updates like Snapdragon

I bought this Phone and It is perfect for the money. The heating in the high graphic games is as usual as other phones.The games are smooth. Speed and Battery life is nice. And It does support OTG, physical and bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

Can this phone be upgraded since it's using MTK

Will this phone receive updates to new OS like miui 11 based on Android 10 since it's MTK chip. I learnt SD usually gets upgraded. Pls class Someone should someone should clarify

Thanks friend, I decided that I'd just buy the M30s. The Note 8 Pro here in Indonesia is a bit hard to get, and I wanted to try out Samsung, since I've never used a Samsung phone before.

It contains the Qualcomm SMB1351 chip so yes it should support QC3.0 you may want to read about actual tests though. Said that all quick chargers reduce the lifespan of batteries, great news for manufacturers but I would use fast charging only when needed rather than in an every day basis, just takes charging it at night.

Anonymous

Note 8 pro gets mixed reviews on camera some like better the previous gen cameras than this one, photos are dimmer with less contrast than the A50s, both phones lack OIS and have questionable quality optics as midrange phones. If you want a flagship level camera check out the pixel 3a, it's maybe $300 or less right now if you search well, pixel 3a arguably outperforms a note 10 camera and a pixel 2 camera as well.

I know it comes with 18W charger in the box, but just don't know if can use for QC3.0. GSMArena Youtube video review does say it support QC3.0, but in website review, they just mention it support USB-PD, so don't know if really can support QC3.0 I'm asking this because all my charger, including car charger, powerbank are QC3.0, which is USB A to USB C.

you might need to change the settings from your Facebook if that's the case You can choose to always upload photos in HD from your account settings: Tap at the bottom of the screen. Scroll down and tap Settings & Privacy, then tap Settings. Scroll down to Media and Contacts, then tap Videos and Photos. Tap next to Upload HD. You may always look unto the settings of the photos quality and set to to HD. Hope that helps. All the best! :)

please better Camera A50s or Note 8 pro ?

Techsuma

hello, that is for game booster software. just sipe left / right then the apps will be popped up

Remcee

Please take note that capturing photos using the 64mp sensor will definitely increase the file size dramatically. (check the file size of the image to confirm). Most social media apps have a fixed maximum size per image. Uploading them online will automatically reduce the quality in order to fit them in the accepted file size.

Cj

Because the default quality in FB is low when you upload videos or photos. You need to turn on HD so you can get the best quality in settings in FB.

You can't get colour accuracy on a smartphone to be honest. You need a studio monitor for that, plus you're not going to edit stuff for professional use on a phone or are you? For the most part yes. Amoled displays are more vibrant because they have larger colour gamut but since you're talking about colour accuracy, amoled display aren't colour accurate as well. Matter of fact, LCDs have better colour accuracy than amoled. Just saying.

I don't buy that, all Xiaomi MIUI cheap phones will storm you with ads, you need to keep opting out from the initial setup to every other single app, to reduce them. It's pretty annoying and an everlasting reminder that you shouldn't be that cheap with phones and in life lol.

Should I get the 6+64 or the 6+128 version? I do a lot of mobile gaming (mostly pubg and CODm), photography and some social media apps.

You may have a problem with your device, this phone does heat up to about 42 celsius in most cases. It's pretty annoying but no worse for now. I would recommend you to hard reset and wipe out the device and load and test one app at a time, if you can't determine if some app is triggering the heat you may want to have it checked, if you continue using it at that heat level it will surely get damaged over time. Also don't game while charging and try using it without a case.

Happily Xiaomi does amoled and for the most part does them fine. No need to put up with their IPS stuff. You can get inexpensive phones with amoled screens from other manufacturers as well.

MasEnha

Thanks for the review. With this price range and performance offered I can imagine that the display not on top tiers. Vibrant will lose to Amoled by much, not that sharp enough and the worst thing is the blackness. Regarding the color accuracy, there might be a calibration setting. I might still buy this phone on Tomorrow and if the display bad enough I will give it to my cousin. Hope the HDR there with some reason.

can somebody confirm if this phone supports lte band 28(700MHz)?some article regarding redmi note 8 pro's SoC including official Mi website says it does. Thank you for those who will answer this question..

BruhPassMeD.Charger

Been using Note 8 Pro for weeks now. Gaming top tier. Camera better than most. Color display, loses to AMOLED a lot. Sharpness issue in videoplaybacks. Battery lasts 12 hours gaming straight(p.s. unhealthy for body and phone). For phone photographers, Colors in pictures and sharpness of videos may be inaccurate when displayed in the phone but, when screen casted or transfered to better monitors or displays. Issue may be fixed. Plus, that 64 megapixel camera is quite useful. For gamers like myself, Can play Pubg mid to high graphics at 60fps. No internet lags in online gameplays thanks to Mediatek SoC, can record while playing. Rivals 855 Snapdragon in my opinion. P.S. I'm not a tech wiz myself. These are merely based on my experience with the phone and opinions. I don't mean to contradict any of your standards.

Also m30s is just a pinch smaller than note 8 Pro which isn't noticeable. Which makes m30s equally 'big'(in your words) as note 8 pro. The display here is not the same one used for poco f1. Personally I haven't used f1 in person but it is understandable for the price it came in at. Price to performance ratio was top notch. It's come to my understanding that you're a fan of amoled displays but keep in mind that apple is shelling out iphone with lcd displays for 700$ but people are going for it for the sheer performance apple chip has to offer. And you're talking k20 pro but you forgot the price difference. Spend more n get better simple.

Anonymous

It's not 'too big' unless you have small hands. Vivo z1 pro also has the same dimensions. And it feels manageable. It's a 19:9 aspect ratio so the length is taller while the breadth is slimmed unlike older phones with 16:9 where breadth increase with bigger display. But display is personal preferential and I won't argue on that. Personally I quite like the size given it's made for gamers.

Anonymous

No hate on xiaomi, the K20 Pro is an excellent device at a reasonable price, Factually Xiaomi's IPS screens are inferior just ask pocophone users, you see this is no secret or personal opinion of mine, but hey you say you don't care about it, that's fine with me. Many people do and should bear in mind the fact before buying. Again I recommend this phone for heavy gamers on the cheaps, but for other people I really don't, too big, too heavy, the heating, the display and the ADS everywhere can make it a pretty uncomfortable phone to use specially if you intend to keep it long term.

Lol you're just picking littlest of things just to hate on xiaomi. Accept it, it is better than your m30s which has a plastic body(which creaks when squeezed) and no corning gorilla protection and exhibits heating issue. Samsung phones notorious for heating. M30s doesn't come with liquid cooling like note 8 pro does. There's no such thing as light bleeding. And if there's any, I don't see them and if I don't see them what's there to complain. And the backlight thing you're going on about like dude, the display is HDR compatible. Do you know what HDR is? And yes lcd don't reflect deep blacks and yes amoled reproduce better contrast but that's about it for m30s. Plus I'm not using my phone on 100% brightness so at lower brightness it's completely neutral on note 8 pro.

There are amoled screens at this price range and below not only flagships has them, Xiaomi just don't have the best backlighting for their IPS screens, far from it.

Yes indeed but that doesn't mean you cannot game good with the M30s or other phones provided you set settings properly, screen of this is junk though. I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone except for gamers, too heavy and big for comfortable usage.

MasEnha

Thats true but maybe untrue. I was a second hand Samsung hunter and saw hundreds and possibly thousands of it. In most of the cases are screen burn and battery issue despite the phones are in mint conditions. I did have a good experience also with samsung amoled, but screen burn is also a fact. Nevertheless, with this price range you won't be able to find a better alternative. Its better to buy this phone this time and save the money for 5G on the next 1-3 years.

Definitely redmi note 8 pro on this one. Note 8 pro has more horse power. If you notice galaxy a50 has a processor built on cortex a72 while redmi note 8 pro has a processor with newer architecture cortex a76 which has more power and it runs on gpu mali g76 compared to the mali g72 on galaxy a50 which means the processor on note 8 pro is capable to push more powerful gpu.

And one more thing, m30s performance cannot match the one on note 8 pro even if you tweak around. M30s has a processor on the level of Snapdragon 660-675 while mtk g90 surpasses most of the mid range processors.

I didn't say they look the same. Read my comment again. I said they differ in contrast. The panel on note 8 pro is far from bad. It supports HDR even. I don't know what you mean when you say bad display?? Colour wise or some other factor? For a budget phone they're quite alright. And yes I prefer performance over some contrasty display any day. If I had to pick between the two.

Pocophone has a similar screen to most phones at its price range. The problem is that reviewrs are comparing it to flagships

If amoled and LCD loos the same to you that's fine man to me amoled is a no brainer and xiaomi can't brag about their cheap phone screens at all (pocophone biggest flaw was the poor screen), as for the M30s, I already stated that this is better for heavy gaming no doubt at all but the M30s can do gaming, you will probably need to mess with the settings a little to get the best out of it.

You are right the items are there but no reviews are to be found, I guess they have determined that early sales are hurt by bad reviews. I would hold any purchase until reviews are available just in case.

M30s processor is a cheap one. Not for gaming. But really you stares at the corner of their screen. I've used lcd and amoled phones both but don't have any issue with either other than contrast difference. I'm talking from experience point of view.

Anonymous

That's a very lie. What samsung phone you're using? Even flagships from 2 years are unable to handle today's game like today's mid range phones. 2 gb ram is too less to experience smooth pubg gameplay. Maybe you haven't played on smoother phones. So you think the performance you are getting on your 'samsung with 2gb ram' is the best performance.

Anonymous

The resolution is fine but it's a cheap IPS screen with uneven backlight with moderate dimming or light bleeding mainly around the notch and at the bottom of the screen but for the price I guess is passable, if you are not into heavy gaming you can check the samsung M30s which can be had for less and has an excellent amoled screen, has better battery life (6000 maH) and it's lighter and slightly smaller.

How do you know amoled burn in anytime. Im using it 3 years now Samsung with amoled 2GB RAM and still playing PUBG with this phone. The display is very good. The budget phone that everyone buy in year 2017 below cant be compare with my phone none do better in pubg even if it has 4gb ram too mine is better. It did not heat for long gaming too use to play pubg 5 to 6hour a day only a small warm. Nowadays good phone does not mean good quality after 10 to 12 months it feel old new version of cpu gpu already available in the market that time. Especially below 20k phone it outdate too soon.

Yes, you can compare the camera with Realme 5 Pro/Realme XT and Oppo F11/Reno2Z/Reno 2F. For the next step up in camera, you'd need something like the Reno2/Reno 10x zoom. Front camera is also about as good as the above mentioned devices though I'd say Oppo/Realme are doing w better job of face beautification.

Anonymous

It has the Samsung Bright GW1 ISOCELL sensor, not sony, BUT the sensor is not the only thing to factor in, the optics, OIS (don't have), and the camera app algorithms play an important role too. Only way to figure what it does is by samples of video and pictures, I'd say it's a regular mid range camera, absolutely NOT in the range of pixel, iphone 11 and such. Lacks OIS so you have to keep still so that pics come out well specially at night. The wide angle camera is pretty bad.

Battery life is ok, camera has received mixed reviews, no OIS, no great optics, wide angle camera bad specially on low light, no way a iphone 11 or pixel camera, the 64 megapixels spec doesn't mean great pictures, it looks you would do way better with pixel 3a, camera performance is top notch for about $300 or maybe less right now.

Is the resolution of the screen good enough?

Biker Buddha

I have been using several Redmi smartphones for the past 4 years and I'm a die hard Redmi & MIUI fan. This is my honest opinion and I'm not offending them but requesting for improvements. I bought the Redmi Note 8 Pro(6GB/128GB) during the first flash sale itself from Amazon.in and I was pretty impressed initially and still the same apart from a few concerns that I have. I will point out some pros & cons. Lets start with 'pros' . Pros: 1. Even if it is not a AMOLED screen, the display has good & deep contrast and bright colours when comparing it to other IPS LCD smartphones. 2. Touch sensitivity & response is awesome. 3. User interface is insanely fast & smooth. 4. The flash is way too bright 5. Dark mode looks good. 6. In-hand it look & feels like a premium smartphone 7. Gaming experience is awesome. It feels milky smooth. Higher frame rates. Impressive graphics. Cons: (some of them might be a bug and it could be resolved with updates, but I'm not sure) 1. I didn't find the Macro camera to be impressive & useful. Some images reminded me of those pictures taken with VGA cameras. Pictures taken using primary camera with 2x digial zoom looks way better in terms of colours & details. Try taking the same image in both these ways and you can find the difference. If it could be improved with updates, then Xiaomi, please take this seriously. Because it very disappointing, especially when Camera is one of the major striking element of this smartphone. 2. The selfie camera is only average. Its not great compared to other selfie cameras. I have used POCO F1 and it has better front camera (both smartphones are in same price bracket, now) 2. I don't know whats happening with my touch sometimes, rarely, some ghost touches are happening. 3. I don't find it overheating while intense gaming with high graphics and high frame rates, but it is getting warm. What I didn't like is, the phone is getting warm within 5 minutes of gaming like we have been gaming for 30 minutes. After gaming for 1-2 hours, I would say there is heating but definitely not overheating. 4. I usually watch YouTube videos at 480p resolution because it offers relatively good video quality and only consumes less data. While watching YouTube videos at 1080p and 720p, it feels great. But the problem arises when we watch videos at 480p resolution. It actually feels like you are watching at 240p resolution; it is that bad. Details are missing, I don't why. I haven't faced this issue in any other mobile phones. I felt that, it might be because of the bigger screen. ( like a 6 inch made display stretched to 6.5 inch display) . . These are some of the opinions and I hope it would be improved with software updates. Thank You

amit306

I got on 25 Oct. (amazon.in, First Sale) & I'm normal user. I didn't face any heating issue. Back cameras are just ok but front camera is brilliant (My wife have Oppo F11 Pro & I compared with them).

Also, in Indonesia its much cheaper than Realme XT. Regarding the Amoled, I will not craze bout it since it tend to burn in unspecific and unprecedented time, especially for cheaper products. Please share if you have bad issue with Mediatek, however judging from your short review there is nothing in common, right :)

Zoick

A good buy in reasonably prices category (I use as it my secondary phone). Build quality is excellent, display is decent and bright for this class (would've been better if it was AMOLED). Anyway, camera is pretty decent too, photos in daylight and good light are alright, low light quality is what one can expect in this range, and night mode really helps. Phone doesn't too hot in long sessions of PUBG etc. (on high). SOT is very reasonable too, I haven't pushed it that far, but after nearly 5 hours, battery drain was about 45%. All in all a good budget phone IMHO.

Oh really!!! I was Planning to buy this device but but now I change my mind. Thank you so much.

There's no such thing as hard limitation for the microSD. Manufacturers just list the max microSD storage based on what size is economically viable for end users. You can buy 1TB microSD, format it to exFAT using Windows, and insert it to your phone. It will work.

This phone is gorgeous! (Forest green) Amazing quality for the price. I bought the Global Rom and live in the US. I'm on ATT in Kansas and it perfoms incredibly on the LTE bands here. I always look for the best value, and this phone has surpassed my expectations. It lasts 2 days easy on standard use, NEVER gets hot, and is just insanely fast on any app. Fingerprint sensor is fast and easy to acclamate to the position. Until 5g is widespread here, this will be my daily driver. Thank you Xioami!!!!

It arrived a week ago. I told myself that I will give mediatek a go after several years. Worst decision of my life. The phone heats up sooo much. I left the camera open with the sceen on and put the phone in my pocked and after a few minutes I felt heat through my pocket. After it gets hot it drains the battery extremely fast. I get about 3 hours of screen on time while gaming. Oh and I experienced that the phone died 3x during gaming on its own and required to be booted up manualy. Also the display is very bad. It has extremely cold colors. Whites are basically blue.. And no contrast at all. Cameras are horrible also. The 64MP performs terribly except for very good conditions. During night it is unusable. The wide angle camera is unusable completely. No details, no colors, no contrast, no sharpness. Nothing. It reminds me of cameras from the flip phone era. The macro/depth senser are a complete gimmick and are there just to call it a quad camera set up. Also the speaker is extremely quiet and has no clarity. Please do yourself a favor and don't ever buy this phone. You will regret it from day 1.

I bought it on 28th Oct 2019. I am unable to pair my JBL live 200 bt headset with this device. It very much needed feature. I am not to find forgot button to unpair.

Why you always make phone with hybrid sim slot?? It is very disgusting! Other brand like Realme do better job with dedicated micro sd slot.

This phone display is pretty bad, the backlight is uneven around the notch and at the bottom of the screen is slightly dimmer which becomes obvious under certain conditions. Not unlike pocophone. If display and battery are important to you M30s is better than this plus size, weight and price are less, gaming is pretty good overall with the M30s just not at the note 8 pro level, if you are not a gamer as such I have no particular reason to recommend this.

getnikkoo

Ok, I work on vmfs and nfs file systems, as i work on servers, and i do development on UFS specifications and they're not backwards compatible in my experience, not according to how much i have worked on, so you need to format the Mass/flash storage from the device to mount it so it can read and write on the UFS compatible block size on flash storage, as it can only work on few number of supported block size mostly formated by the device depending on UFS version. That's how the the hot plug direct mounting works.

If you use the phone normal you will not get serious burn-in in the two year period you are expected to use it. Really drops and heating (like with fast chargers) are the common killers of phones.

I would suggest to consider the M30s instead of A50s mainly because of the price and the gigantic battery but also because the in display fingerprints scanner are working really bad in midrange phones of 2019. So: For incredibly better display and battery, lower weight and size, less ads and probably spyware and such go samsung m30s. For hard core gaming and nfc get redmi note 8 pro.

Redmi Note 8 Pro is a better choice, A series are very slow.

MasEnha

Try to hard reset and see what happened. Probably you need also check the updates, my cousin's old MTK got no similar issue, then its not about the MTK generally.

KaiKai

So i have used this phone for about a week now. The only thing i want to address is about the phone's performance. I dont know what i did wrong but sometimes when i play games like COD and ML for more than an hour or for a long time, the phone kick me out of the game and sometimes it even restart the phone by itself...which never happened when i use a phone with a SD 625. One more problem that I've found is that sometimes the phone wont let me use the google app (it shows error that the app keep closing by itself). I dont know whether this a problem with the ram which is impossible since it has 6gb ram. Or the MTK problem or maybe I'm just unlucky?

It automatically reads memory card. Maybe your sd card is broken or something. Format your mmc using the supported format then try.

I mean miui update is for sure not the best but it's far from the worst. They do push out updates but since the beta rom is discontinued, the updates are slower now. But still updates are better than that of samsung 100%.

Anonymous

Performance doesn't decrease for playing games but your battery sure does get's damaged. And damaged battery affects your phone's performance. And the second answer is no, it won't heat that much since it has liquid cooling inside which keeps the phone cool from overheating

Anonymous

I'd wait it out until we'll see some real 3rd dev support for this. By that I mean proper kernel source rel and the follow up custom ROMs' scene. Sorry but I can't really trust MIUI's base Android + security patch level to be regularly updated officially. That's the usual problem with any Mediatek inside phones, not just Redmi/Mi.

White Michi

If we play heavy games daily will the G90T's performance decreased?? As it was thing that usually happened to MTK. But maybe the G90T is different? Also does it heat a lot to slow your gaming experience?

in redmi note 8 , if you are using headset and if any incoming call comes , then your call will be automatically muted .

There's another video just like this one in which it's shown this phone going past 42 Celsius, WITHOUT a case, I guess that in the short term this is not a problem as long as you don't mind holding a hot phone in your hands which it may be annoying to some, in the long term though, it may shorten the battery lifespan and/or the long term reliability of the device itself, but we don't know yet, in a year, year an a half we will know of problems surfaced or not.

Like many youtubers showed in their videos, most of the heat are dissipated at the top left corner of the phone's back which is exactly where your hand would be gripping the phone during gaming. If you can cope with it then it won't be a problem for you.

The F1s SD845 kills any of these midrange processors but the pocophone itself was ugly and the screen was really bad with serious light bleeding issues plus a big notch and made of ugly plastic and had a lot of software issues. Pocophone was and still is more expensive than these midrange phones. For a pure gaming phone on the cheaps it still remains an option.

I'm pretty sure the note 8 pro is better, simply because the new g90t processor is really quick, comparable to even flagship processors. As for display, in my experience, I haven't had any trouble with xiaomi devices so far (I currently own a xiaomi redmi note 4X and xiaomi mi pad 4), the colours look great, although it has a slight blue tint. Though not very noticable. Once it releases in Indonesia (29 October) I will buy it and if you want I can share my experience with you if you're not in a hurry to buy one. -Abin

If you don't mind the cheap IPS display, the cheap heating noname processor, the bad placement of the fingerprint scanner and the Xiaomi's ads storm you can still consider getting this one. On the plus side it's fast and all important features are there. If moderate++ heating and the bad display are no deal breakers for you I guess this is a decent deal from Xiaomi. If not looking for heavy gaming the Samsung M30s could be a viable alternative in the price range with way better amoled display and a 6000mah battery.

If you want the tallest phone, get the Note 8 Pro. If you want the lightest phone, get the Nokia 7.2 If you want the most storage, get the Nokia 7.2 The Redmi Note 8 Pro has the most cameras. (4) The main camera of the Note 8 Pro is 64 MP, while the Nokia 7.2’s main camera is only 48 MP. The fastest battery charging is on the Redmi Note 8 Pro. So, basically, you should get the Redmi Note 8 Pro.

It truly depends on what you need. If you are purist and want to experience pure android with zero bloatwares then go for nokia. The SOC is older but it will do the job of your daily tasks. However if you are good with custom ui and you want performance for the bucks you are spending go for redmi note 8 pro extremely good performance and brilliant battery life.

Logically 67-celcius is impossible since its not exploded. I've seen many claims that MTK heats much, but the claims itself is baseless. Many devices from HP and TV uses MTK with not that much issues. Seems like anti-fan or paid persons constantly do black campaign.

This phone is amazing Played COD at very high graphics and with extreme fps for 3hours didn't even face any lag or over heating. Smooth gameplay totally loved it. Display is great supports widevine l1 and HDR but netflix havent whitelisted it yet so no HD streaming. Battery is monster got 9h+ screen on time with still 20% left. With external amplifier the sound production is extremely clear and loud with earphones aswell and the speakers are quite decent too they arent that quite as in review they said you may miss a call well they are quite loud and clear. The cameras are good but ultra wide pics arent that good maybe a software update will fix that they are quite dark. So if you want a bang of buck midrange phone go for it.

What you need to understand is that this phone has a chip with 12 nm architecture which means it has the same heat as snapdragon 636 and 660. And according to my understanding, yes they do heat up but not so much so that it becomes a problem. I have used both Snapdragon 636 and 660 phones from xiaomi. But for me, I'd pick realme xt over note 8 pro because that one has amoled display and Snapdragon 712, to be on safe side. Mtk g90 is still new and not much is known about it. Snapdragon has better history than mtk in the long run. Good luck.

It's depends on what u mean long use. It's great for 2 years of using,which is best time to switch the phone.

I personally never use samsung smartphone And iPhone is ios Other is android Cannot be compared Asus rog2 is gaming phone with 120hz refresh rate But if you dont need it, 1plus 7 pro and black shark2 is cheaper with lower refresh rate

Does the Indian version have NFC? What other differences are there between the Indian and the international version?

Ok

What's the difference between the Indian and the international version? I read that the Indian one has a dedicated micro SD slot. Does the Indian version have NFC? It's confusing Xiaomi releasing different spec for different markets.

Does this the redmi note 8 pro have Android one?

Velkoz n Oems Death

He is correct bro and so are you. What I mean is , this G90T will heat up but , base on my observation it only HEATS up when you use the phone for ultra extreme gaming . It will not heat up for normal usage. All snapdragon chips also HEAT up if we use them at their full power ( even those that have cooling chamber heats up right? )

Velkoz n Oems Death

Redmi Note 7's cam with Gcam is a lot better bro

Ssob

She's far better.

Velkoz n Oems Death

This phone is a great deal! There is just 2 major drawbacks for me : Phone HEATS up when under intense gaming with max graphics ( cause of course , duh ) Possible solution could be playing at medium graphics The CAMERAS ( except main cam ) sucks very very bad. If Gcam can be installed then this one will be resolved.

Yes, they have listened to you and provided two dedicated Sim Slot & a micro SD Card Slot separately. And also, Indian variant is been provided support to Google Camera App. As far as super amoled display concerns..we have seen the fate of Mi A3, didn't made a hit..cuz in this price range if you want super amoled then there will be reduction of other facilities/features for cost cutting. New processor (Helio G90T) is a highliting point. It's performance and reliability will be tested with time. We cannot judge so fast. Human wants never ends. You get what you pay for.

muzaxyS9

imagine. Xiaomi company makes one of the most strongest and cheapest smartphones. and if you will compare the strengths with other company smartphones the price will visible cheaper. because of their display and the phone materials. it's cheaper material than Samsung or Apple or Huawei smartphones material but the same durability. Oled displays are more expensive than LCD.

muzaxyS9

I would recommend you if you wanna go cheaper one buy Huawei mate 10 Pro. in fact, it was one of the respected smartphone in it's time. By the way the second recommendation would be the Samsung Galaxy S8 as if you can find it for around 250 and 300$.

Get the honor then, nobody forced you to stick here. I don see it as downgrade, in fact the spec is in line with all the other note series or even above the average note series spec. Redmi note series has always deployed mid midrange chipset since the the note 1 era, while this G90T is considered the top of the midrange chip at this date. Even camera wise, they have also upgraded to similar sensor as their flagship Mi series phone.

Please, tell me where is downgrade? You're right about Kirin 810, but Kirin 810, detroys Snapdragon 730! Comparing to Note 7 Pro and Snapdragon 675, Note 8 Pro is better on everything : - process are equal...12nm from TSMC or 11 from Samsung...TSMC is maybe even better. - CPU, G90T is a little better...Kryo 4xx are Cortex A76/A55 mix - GPU, Mali G76mc4 is about twice better than Adreno 612 - memory is faster on G90 - ISP allows 64MPixels with MFNR on G90 when SD675 is limited to 48MP - Note 8 Pro uses UFS2.1 Storage, 7 Pro uses slower eMMC - camera set is better on Note 8 Pro - you've got NFC Non-Pro Note 8 isn't an upgraded.

If aimed for business I would base my decision on 4 factors: looks, size, battery life and security, the first two are to your liking, for battery life the note 8 pro likely is going to be best, for security maybe none of them since chinese phones are suspect of stealing data for the chinese government or to sell it, if you think your data is sensitive better get a non chinese phone by all means.

Hi many people! I have important question. I want to buy this phone (redmi note 8 pro or redmi note 8 or redmi note 7/pro). Which is the best option for me? My main purpose for phone is more business and usage of apps - IG and emails and LR, PS etc. I don't use games and will not be using games. I use a phone only for business and photos. I will not be installing any gaming apps. So tell me which is best option? I will be buying the 128 GB version out of the listed phones above. Give me the best option for me.

Anonymous

Exactly dude, Mi A3 is another clear downgrade example, a cheap attempt to go back to a 720p display to save money in display and processor as well, with this one the cheap IPS display and a heating cheap processor instead of a decent SD SOC. Xiaomi definitely is looking for better margins, k20 pro went out so more expensive in india than in china that it triggered severe criticism from indian reviewers and users. The Mix Alpha is another hint they are wanting to appeal to a different type of customer now, good luck to Xiaomi, it's going to take a lot of effort to change of customer base, I just don't think that people that buy iPhones and such is going to take them seriously anytime soon.

Mediatek and IPS LCD are the main reasons for me to skip redmi note 8 pro. G90T performance is not even good enough to compete honor 9x's kirin 810. Framerate dropped badly in heavy games unlike kirin 810. Xiaomi is starting to downgrade their famous devices for more profit like redmi 8.

NavaSensei

Hi. People with these phone, what about battery heating and the Helio processor in daily use?? I'm thinking bought these one, but these things make me curious..

Chris

Honestly, you should probably get this phone considering how out of date your old one is. This one should be more than enough, you get Android Pie (9.0) and MiUi 10 (soon to be MiUi 11). I recently ordered one from AliExpress and it has recently dropped somewhat in price. For roughly USD $200 this isn't a bad deal by a long shot. I have had the Redmi Note 6 Pro and the Pocophone F1 and they both still work great to this day, even with the Mediatek SOC this should be fine and should at minimum last a couple years with normal usage. It's a good deal if you think about what you're getting here.

If you want to force heating on a phone, you can on everyone! Including iPhone! Some youtubers find a single game (PUBG) and base all their heating theory on this single game... ...sometime they force heating by adding background tasks like screen-recording. When you Ask these youtubers to test other games...they ignore you. A scientific way to analyse things. Note 8 Pro heats on PUBG... Problem can be : Note 8 Pro or PUBG Ok I will test PUBG on Galaxy S10 (Exynos)...oh there are framedrops! Ok I will try some other games on Note 8 Pro...Asphalt 9 stay cold, ARK Survival Evolved on Epic/high settings heats a little but don't overheat. In your opinion, according to the latest test, where is the problem? On Note 8 Pro? I don't think! In your opinion, why some youtubers refused to do these tests? In my opinion, these tests don't proove what they want to proove. Don't see any PUBG heating test on PUBG since some day...maybe some updates solve the problem?

It's more complcate 1. Not Always. USB C can have USB 2.0 data rates like standard microUSB...but on Note 8 Pro, USB 3.0 is ok 2. Micro USB can use fast charging.

Well a couple of corrections, Apps are optimized for arm architecture common for Qualcomm, Samsung, mediatek, apple, huawei, etc. G90T in this is far better than the 730g let alone 675. Also older mediatek chips were shit, I agree, but the newer lineup is good P60/70 and this is a brand new design. Although your deciding factor should be whether you want custom roms or not as miui is a joke.

Snapdragon 730 is more stable and efficient as it is built on 7 nm technology. I've used both mtk and Snapdragon and I found that Snapdragon processor are more stable for long term. Mtk slows down and starts lagging.

everything is not based on antutu score as they both are mid ranger and the gap is quite small (40,000 in daily usage can not be noticed), i think the x2 is better also if it's the same price.

Blake

i think this is true for the old mediatek, but since p60, p70 chipset and now g90t, it's catching up the snapdragon in term of that. from many people who bought oppo, vivo and realme many of their phones used mediatek p60/p70 chipset and don't have many issues

Blake

if you don't play much games and just want to have a great camera, NFC, headphone jack and battery in it's segment then go for note 8. It will be launch globally in this month so better pick up the global version

Guyds

Does this phone support aptx/hd and ldac?

D.

It's hard to answer this because Note 8 doesn't sell globally (so far) and may not support 4G in your country etc. Then simply Note 8 Pro is way faster, has better camera (right) and bit bigger screen (heavier) but I can't say if it gets Android 10 update.

Well. If you are money restricted then go for redmi note 8 pro. Alternatively Galaxy a70 will be fine for u if you got more money to spare. In general, I think they both have pretty specs that uniques them from each other. Good luck🤞🤞

hi, can you back this statement? do u have experience with newer mediatek chip? or you just heard a rumour??

SD 660 is moderately power full but G90T is gaming based SoC so is will heat but company provides liquid cooling so I think that it will control the heat ( at least not lead to go beyond 45°C )

Nice price information in specs (by) GSMA! Hopefully this will decrease people's general confusion about the price. :) (was pretty annoying to discuss :( ) P.S. Global network...

Mediatek is not good for long term use if you are a heavy gaming user. For a gamer ,After 5-8 months your phone you may face issues like fast battery drain, increase in lag in gaming, heating etc.and in some cases processor will be dead within 1.5-2 years.

Why can not you check out the reviews and reviews on various youtube sites and channels that have no part and decide for yourself ??? As long as a SOC plays PUBG in maximum configuration and plays FORTNITE fluidly and without problems, what do you still want ??? So what you have to understand is that even if several smartphones can play heavy games, there are smartphones ideally dedicated for this as ASUS ROG PHONE or BLACK SHARK XIAOMI.

Oh really...i was about to buy this device. Thanks for the information. Now I change my mind.

Pls dont buy if you gamers... I just play mobile legend the true is ..not smooth at all frame rate drop a bit belive me even snapdragon 710 btter than this chip. Rubbish for gaming other thn tht it was just ok for midrange

The problem is that he did not agree that the Kirin 810 is better than the Helio G90T. And if I gave him arguments to show that he was wrong, is there a problem compared ??? It's more up to me to ask you: What's your problem with my answer, my dear?

Nah i wouldve chose this mediatek rather than snapdragon This thing can run fortnite on high settings. Which means its not slow. Its really fast tbh. Mediatek isnt that trash anyways

This hh suppose to be mid range, what im concern vs realme5 that its poor yellowish in taking video. Can we use gcam on mtk? Also bout bootloader has been confirm being released by xiaomi. Overall rn8p much better in feature, but this phone hard to get due to flash sale style.

yes Kirin810 is higher score but g90t is not that far. so what's the big deal? lmaoo... feeling you know all this sht alone by urself? "Gaming is gaming.. G90T is not an ordinary mediatek chipset that you knew before... n00b

The G90T manage to beat the 712 just for 2 fps how beat the 730G? which is 25% powerful and more efficient thanks its 8nm process.

AnonD-893002

No no no, not at all !!! The Kirin 810 is better than the Helio G90T, certainly not with a big margin, but still exceeds it. Moreover besides Benchmarks that can confirm you this, TL Lee CEO Mediatek, in an interview confirmed that. So you're wrong, my dear.

Digs

Woeh! just read the gsmarena review and wow the Note 8 Pro did better than expected, benchmark test showed spectacular result compared with its close competitor Realme XT, Xiaomi sweept the floor with the latter with every test performed, KUDOS Xiaomi you should be proud with your work.

Digs

You know... Realme X2 is ticking a SD730G right? Its a slow poke compared to Helio G90T. Rockin 40,000 more points than the SD730G. Based on the Antutu Score, so how can it challenge the top chipset which is Helio G90T?

Uhuh., and where do you based that assumption?

To see is to believe, give it time boys.

Trust on the brand you want, better yet if you have friends that have bought the Note 8 Pro and XT you ask them, that's firsthand experiece to help you make that purchase decision.

Well looking at the specs sheet your misunderstood in some areas Note 8 Pro beats XT while the advanteges you mention on XT are miniscule.

Digs

Don't be a stereo type just because past mediatek chips fail your expectations don't mean that g90t will follow in their wake?, give the new chip some time maybe this one could be a winner.

Digs

Pttt.. are you joking?, a slow poke is better than a top 10 leading chip? Read antutu results and compare, lets see whose better. I'd say XT is left in nano meter dust by the Note 8 Pro!

AnonD-893002

Many people have remained in their prejudices and prior to Mediatek, but you must know the changes and evolve; so instead of being sloppy without being thoughtful, why do not you make a cold and objective observation about this RN8 Pro and its processor? instead of all the time stigmatize Mediatek because of its past, and why always rely on propaganda instead of judging by your own eyes. For those who criticize wrongly and wrongly without foundation; do you know that Mediatek has released kernel source code for this Redmi Note 8 Pro ??? Yes! the source codes of the kernel have been released and Xiaomi has already made them available, if you were still ignorant about it. For the problems of overheating that some foolish and sour like to brandish so high; know that the Helio g90t does not overheat as some people want to believe. Any phone subjected to huge loads of work will always heat up and in the case of this processor the heater is very correct and normal for extreme loads. In terms of stress test, the gravure g90t has the same results as Snapdragon 845 for example, but when it's Snapdragon it does not shock anyone! I strongly recommend that you consult the TECHTABLETS channel on Youtube who has performed the test of this device (because its test is realistic and impartial in terms of heating) and for a complete and impartial review of this phone, consult the DEVICE SPECIFICATION's tests,while waiting for GSMarena's review. Thank You all.

AnonD-893002

Let me ask you some trivial and trivial questions: Do you know of an electronic device that does not emit heat when working? - No! such a device does not exist! Does the heat release of a device depend on the workload of the device? - Certainly yes! because a device that works more will release more heat too! Now is the release of heat due to a very high workload controllable? - Yes! this is also the case of several well-designed devices without manufacturing defect! Well, what about the heating of the Redmi Note 8 Pro then ??? - The heating of the Redmi Note 8 Pro is just correct, normal and without any abnormality depending on the workload that is submitted to the processor! So whether it's in resource-hungry 3D games, whether it's a long video or photography session, whether it's a long time of video playback or internet surfing, the Redmi Note 8 Pro does not heat up abnormally. That's the truth !!! Thank You!!!

I used mt6577 (I bought this one in 2012 and it still works even if I don't use it anymore), mt6592 (used during 1.5 years, I must admit I don't know what it became after that), mt6752 (out of order, used by me during 1.5years and give to my mother for 1.5years more), X20 (3.5years old, still used by my nephew)... Now I use : - Helio P60 for 14 months (smartphone). - mt8176 for around 2 years (pad) - and a dvd/DivX player with mt1389 since........14 years!!!!

The phone comes natively in the box with Android 9 (Pie). As for whether it will evolve for Android 10, well, I'll probably say yes! since Xiaomi has downloaded Kernel source codes based on Mediatek and has already made them available. So, we can expect an update for Android 10, soon.

AnonD-893002

Please, my dear, when you say "him" what are you talking about, since I can not quite understand your question. Be clear, please. If you are talking about the possibility of implementing a custom port, since the Mediatek Kernel sources for RN8 Pro are already available, yes! you can already develop these custom ports. I hope I understand your question. Thank you

Hi so i am android programmer will i be able to program quietly with him just like for testing in android studio?

AnonD-893002

Kernel source codes for Mediatek-based Redmi Note 8 Pro are currently available, and Xiaomi has released them. So developers can now develop custom ports. So it is quite possible that the snags of the gcam, can install the gcam on this Redmi Note 8 Pro equipped with this prodigious processor Helio G90t, in the days that follow according to the developers implement it quickly. I strongly believe that many will have a fresh look at MEDIATEK with this powerful new processor.

I think Redmi Note 8's is available too...I don't remember the codename to find it. But it's manufacturers' job, not Qualcomm's or Mediatek's...manufacters are the only one who can as they have all modules (for exemple, Mediatek doesn't build the touchscreen and haven't the related code...Xiaomi should) Xiaomi already done for Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A. Companies like Oppo, Realme or Nokia released some with Mediatek's soc too.

AnonD-893002

Thank you for the precision I failed to make on the availability of some Kernel source codes released by Mediatek. Effectively, Mediatek has released Kernel source codes for Redmi Note 8 Pro, but except the Kernel source codes of the touch screen are not yet available at the moment. Anyway it's also worth mentioning that currently the Kernel source code for Redmi Note 8 "Standard" based on Snapdragon is not available yet, but knowing the diligence of Qualcomm to make them public, we know that it does not will not wait to come in the next. So hopefully the Kernel source code for Redmi Note 8 Pro based on Mediatek Helio G90t will be totally and completely available in the coming days. Thank you

Oh, the comparison does not even hold! the photos of the RN8 pro have a better rendering than those of the standard RN8, in terms of dynamic range, detail of the textures, quality of exposure, fidelity of color, control of the digital noise. In addition to recommending you to check camera tests on youtube, you should also know that the Helio g90t of the RN8 Pro has a triple image processing processor unlike the SD 665 of the RN8 standard which has only two, so in image processing quality term the RN8 Pro is preferable to the standard RN8. For the compatibility with Google camera, only the standard RN8 is compatible because it has a Snapdragon processor, which is not the case of the RN8 pro which is equipped with the g90t of MEDIATEK, which is particularly closed release source codes of kernel. So only the standard RN8 is compatible with the gcam. Thank you.

Do not believe at all, all those who want to harmfully persuade you not to buy this smartphone because false problems of overheating that actually do not exist. Because it is bad propaganda against MEDIATEK and it is harmful and harmful such a way of doing things, instead of exposing the truth in an impartial and fair way, to enlighten people to make unbiased choices. During long sessions of 3D games, it certainly heats, but it heats normally like any other phone that has been used intensively, which is normal and is not alarming, unlike some who want to inculcate the opposite in the general opinion, as well as discouraging several people yet enjoying this smartphone. MEDIATEK has a not very glorious past with its processors that have put off a lot and disappointed a lot of people, it's true; It's also true that, unlike Qualcomm, developer support by releasing Kernel source code is the biggest drawback of this brand. Only things change and especially the performance aspect, frankly this HELIO G90T team that RN8 Pro is powerfully powerful and looks great in its potential and general capabilities. So be cold and lucid in your consideration for this Redmi Note 8 Pro and its G90T Helio Processor without being influenced by any denigration notices whatsoever. THANK YOU

Amorfouse

Is there any PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) detected ?

BlackHat

Sorry I'm no a native english speaker, I mean sustained load, I saw many videos on youtube where the G90T performs better on emulators the first minutes but then the FPS drops under the level of the 730.

AnonD-893002

Well, I obviously agree with you that the two processors are literally nearly identical in almost every compartment. Only if you rely on the lithography, well, I will tell you that, as seen your observation is a bit biased, because the practical tests clearly show that the Helio G90T performs overall better than the SD 730g. And even when we look at the benchmark numbers on each domain taken one by one, we can see that on AnTuTu, for example, Hélio G90T is better on the GPU part, on the CPU part, and on the "memory" part, it is not There is only the UX part where the SD 730g has a slight advantage; this shows how much the Hélio g90t is really ahead of this SD 730G. And even if Snapdragons offer better support for developers, it must be said that the advantage with XIAOMI is that their "fork" does not depend at all on the Android system to evolve in terms of the implementation of certain features And personally I find the interface of Xiaomi is beautiful both in fluidity in design and ergonomics. Now for people who love alternative roms to MIUI I understand that MEDIATEK being retaining the distribution of Kernel source codes, this is highly displeasing to the hacking community, except that it must be assumed that almost all smartphone users do not care about custom-made roms and therefore, use the phone as it comes out of the factory and are satisfied and satisfied with OTA updates offered by the manufacturers, but provided that the characteristics of the smartphone suits them without the problem suffers from this or that problem in particular. So, my analysis being purely based on the smartphone and the performance of its processor, for the Puritan that I am not embarassed with the flashages of custom roms, this RN8 pro is simply awesome! and would suit the majority of users of this Smartphone segment to the economic budget, with the advantage of offering high-end performance. For me, here is the Reality, without being partisan of this or that manufacturer or manufacturer. THANK YOU

AnonD-893002

What do you call sustains charges,please??? I like to know.

BlackHat

Men, if a phone cannot sustain a charge over its competitor isn't better, and the extra functions founds on the G90T are no better that the ones founds in the 730G.

AnonD-893002

I agree that in terms of lithography, 4 nm gap is already a lot. But we must still be objective and lucid in the general appreciation of the processor instead of just dwell on a single aspect, because it must be said that the CPU and the GPU are really good and much better than those of the SD 730G and even if we want to discredit the benchmarks, there are performance comparison tests on Youtube that confirm the benefits of the Helio G90T as being better than those of the SD 730G. Me, I freeze on an analysis devoid of preference and prejudice, and by global observation and given the technological advantages that this processor offers and well, for me I strongly recommend it.

AnonD-893002

Things are changing and MEDIATEK is evolving. While they have a pretty stained on their SOC, but consulting lucidly and coldly all the potential of the Helio G90T, while referring to the benchmark test, you must realize that MEDIATEK has made a prodigious masterpiece on this processor compared to direct competition, including QUALCOMM's SNAPDRAGON.

AnonD-893002

I propose that you wait for the battery endurance test, which will be released when GSMarena magazine is published this week, on the RN8 pro. And if the RN8 PRO has a better autonomy than the MI 9T, then choose the RN8 pro ...

redmi note 8pro or mi9t ?

AnonD-893002

I agree to approve everything you say. I think that many are more subject to propaganda than to make an objective, lucid and cold analysis. This processor is much better than the SD 835, which is already famous. Now when we see how much it beats all midrange from Qualcomm, including all the processors of the 7xx series, and what about ??? - Just Ovations to you MEDIATEK for this powerful processor worthy of a high-end Qualcomm!

AnonD-893002

The XIAOMI Redmi Note 8 Pro does not suffer any problem overheating unlike the whimsical propaganda that people want to believe in the opinion.De fact technically it is better than all SNAPDRAGON 7xx series and this , no detour.Why the fineness of engraving is 12nm, frankly should you be outraged for 2nm more than it has compared to a 10nm? -No! you should not; Especially that such a lithography for games is quite good elsewhere in terms of energy saving, even if not really the ideal (but here too, for me it's mixed). In terms of ranking processor performance, with respect to Qualcomm and Kirin Hisilicon here is what it is: 1) SD 855+; 2) SD 855; 3) SD 845; 4) Kirin 810; 5) Helio G90T (RN8Pro); 6) SD 730G; 7) SD 730; 8) SD 712; ... And then, you must realize that tarnishing on long games must necessarily heat any game device: So do not come "lobotomize" people because of the heats the RN8 Pro, as if the other devices did not heat up, because it must be said overheating on RN8 pro is good and no particular drama like any other good smartphone with good thermal management in long sessions of 3D games. And having a liquid cooling chamber is not at all an inconvenience or a disaster but rather an asset and a big advantage. Those who criticize the Redmi Note 8 pro because of its cooling system, why do not they pour their ugly heat on the HUAWEI MATE 20 PRO which also has a liquid cooling chamber ???

Very high jump over the SD675 used on Note 7 Pro... Better GPU (about twice) Better AI ISP able to use multiframe noise reduction in 64MPixels (even SD855 can't over 48MP Even TSMC's 12nm process isn't less good compare to Samsung's 11nm Xiaomi choose UFS storage on Note 8 Pro when 7 Pro used eMMC (even if SD675 can use UFS) Plus competion against Qualcomm is something important to avoid monopoly. 8 isn't a real upgrade over 7 When 8 Pro is one over 7 Pro... Simply, emulators devs had to make some hard work to let their apps work properly on Mali

First time Xiaomi buyer here, I've just ordered a Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite after doing loads of research but now I'm considering canceling my order and swapping out for a Xiaomi Note 8 Pro because I've just realised it has splash proof coating, rubber seals and reinforced corners. I'm stuck as what to do, I feel like having a splash proof phone is important for me, I watched a video of a guy literally giving it a bath and didn't see any damage. I often tend to get my phone wet, I live in England it rains a lot here and I like to change my music with mid way through the shower. I'm not too bothered about the over heating issues with the Note 8 Pro right now because I won't be using it do things like play PUBG on ultra high settings. Do I sacrifice the Mi 9 Lite's Super Amoled display, better camera, and nicer design for the bigger battery and waterproof features on the 8 Pro? Any input massively appreciated

What you think about power consumption on mt6752 is wrong... The reason is simple : mt6752 can run a single core alone (even the older mt6592 was able too), when SD615 makes them run 4 by 4...the same for 616 and 617. Mediatek's Corepilot was far better than Qualcomm's core management. Even GPU was a little better on mt6752. Mt6732's GPU totally destroy SD410's old Adreno 3 and with 4 cores is as fast as SD615 with 8! About modem, of course, not most but all smartphones use Qualcomm patents...because it's standard essentiel patents (CDMA and LTE for exemple), no choice, manufacturers have to pay...that's the problem : bad regulation of fees...fees too high, manufacturers forced to pay, rebates on soc...nvidia's, intel's, Texas instruments, broadcom's, St-microelectronics, Via's smartphones soc's death... And without licence agreement, LG never release their soc (Nuclun, Nuclun 2), see district of California's décision (FTC vs Qualcomm) Nevertheless, there's a huge difference between theorical bandwidth and real use... My Oppo A3 with Helio P60 (LTE cat 7), gets most time better LTE speed (real mesures) than a Xiaomi Mi A2 with SD660 (LTE cat 12) You've got even some brands who cut antennas costs. For exemple Nokia 7 Plus is only Cat 6 when his Snapdragon 660 is Cat 12...have you ever seen someone complain about internet speed on Nokia 7 Plus?

Because the Mt6752 had 8 cores all at 1.7ghz and the 615 4x1.7ghz and other 4x1ghz, it means that with light tasks the Mt6752 consumed a monstrosity,, also Mediatek was really slow delivering binaries updates to OEMs but just before OEMs payed the mediatek feed for new updated binaries, (unlike qualcomm) yes not only qualcomm lives of feeds. In addition, the qualcomm modems were and are far superior, almost all the modems in the market have somehow patents of their technology, Mediatek on the other hand, had modems that caused strangulation in their chips when they were used. Or the same with the GPUs but this is not exactly the fault of mediatek since Kirin and exynos also use Mali, their architecture is not efficient requiring several cores and high frequencies to reach the competition what in long sections meant thermal strangulation. I do not say that mediatek does not have chips that give results, the problem is that manufacturers such as Xiaomi and Oppo put snapdragons on phones with prices almost equal to mediatek models, so even if the difference is only 15% if you pay the same, Why not choose the most powerful? Mediatek has improved a lot, who has tried his 65xx series knows what I am saying but they still have a way to go, so that users who used the 65xx forget it and on issues of energy efficiency.

P22 is a very interresant one, it's sad to see Redmi 6 uses a 32bits system on it (Nokia 3.1 Plus uses 64bits with the same soc)...but his target is SD450, not even SD625 P60 is the one I use yet...very very good one I think P90 is a good one too, even if I never test any...ISP and AI are better than SD710, but GPU is a little weaker. Able to use Zero shutter delay with 48MPixels when 710 and 730 can't. I think P65 is interressant too...this one is able to use Multiframe Noise reduction with 48MPixels. All the device released with 48MP and SD665 (with MFNR limited to 25MP!!!!) like Redmi Note 8 (non Pro) should technically use P65. To save costs, Mediatek cut UFS support on P65 (Note 7, 7 Pro, 8 uses eMMc by the way) but if seems it's not enough to fight Qualcomm's taxes! It's very hard to make good products with cheaper price. Especially when you have to make profits and when your competitor needn't because he makes all his awesome profits with licence fees (up to 600% profits for exemple in 2016, that's crazy...the same year, profits on products were around 15%) In the past, you've got Helio X30, 10nm like competitors, a good one, maybe not as good as SD835, but close, using the same but a little tinier GPU iPhone used...no success. Mt6752 was older, his competitor was SD615. SD615 was ridiculous compare to mt6752...Qualcomm sold many! The same with mt6732 compare to SD410! There's a huge injustice in this market...but post people doesn't care.

BlackHat

He is speaking about the chips no Xiaomi in general.

BlackHat

Mediatek admits that they are working to speed up binaries updates, so yes half of the blame is for mediatek, also Nokia 5.1 after almost 2 years still with roms in xda website.

BlackHat

Even with those complaints we cannot deny the superiority of the qualcomm chips. I think that the only chip that beat its qualcomm counterpart is the p60 against the SD660, the p60 was faster, both GPU and CPU without thermal throttling and according to notebookcheck with less consumption otherwise other mediatek chips has several limitations: the p20, p22 under way low than the 625 and the p25 just at the same level but with higher power consumption, the same with the p35 vs 636. The mayor problems comes when brands like Xiaomi sells snapdragon chips at the same price that mediatek varians.

Adul Al Salami Kebab

False, most uses Mediatek tough the majority of phone makers does not make a single update post the release of their device...

Anonymous

You're welcome More than accepted ;-) English isn't my native langage too... I know justice reasons aren't the only ones too. One other reason, is bad opinion about Mediatek...some people even still think GPS is bad. The more major companies get some of their soc, the more we will get sources. This Note 8 Pro is really a big step for Mediatek in term of volume.

DroidBoye

Those are other reasons why Qualcomm was chosen by other manufacturers. You pointing those out does not invalidate my point about Qualcomm being preferred due to their source-code releases (this is just one of the reason why). My point is that, the reason of as to why manufacturers chose Qualcomm is not limited to my own statement. If my previous statement made you think that the source code is the "only reason" then kindly accept my apology. I'm not a native English speaker/writer.

DroidBoye

Lee's statement is true. It is a standard to release the Source Code for the the device's current OS, otherwise, no phone manufacturer will buy any MTK SoC. The question would be about the succeeding major Android iteration. Ask justice? They don't. If they can't secure a free source code, they just opt to not update the phone. Again, this is due to the fact that MTK sell their source code instead of giving it for free in which it should. Chinese manufacturers won't prosecute MTK, they don't care, Chinese government don't care. Kernel sources about the touchscreen is of Xiaomi's own problem. As long as the source code is released, the public can do whatever they want. The main take here is that, having source code now is a standard, MTK release that for the manufacturer for their phone to work, the succeeding Android iterations would be the main problem.

Anonymous

Reasons why major manufacturers use Qualcomm could be Here : Or here : Or here : In the first link, page 45, you've got an exemple of how Qualcomm forced LG Electronics to buy them 85% of their soc These are justice decisions (despite some lobbying and protections inside some high district of justice) not spreaded rumors on internet. Don't tell me Qualcomm's market share is link to source code, most smartphones owners don't care about custom rom and updates! And courthouses around the world find other explications

Anonymous

TL Lee said Mediatek releases their source code to their customers (the manufacturers). In my opinion, it's the case... Otherwise, tell me how manufacturers can release their Rom if they don't have soc sources? This reason seems to be enough? Don't you think so? And tell me why manufacturers doesn't ask justice to force Mediatek to do? Today, there are not a single condamnation against Mediatek about GPL/GNU. According to public idea, it can be easy for manufacturers to cut costs on their devs team for Mediatek's Rom...people will blame Mediatek. But, true, Mediatek should change their mind and open themself a GitHub with all their sources...then people won't complain anymore...or find something else against Mediatek instead of focusing on Qualcomm commercial behavior. Today Kernel sources problem about Note 8 Pro seems to be Touchscreen... How can Mediatek be faulty about that? But at least, Google had a great Idea with GSI...

DroidBoye

Mediatek's violation with the GPL is not about releasing its source code. It's about releasing source code to the manufacturers with the price which was supposedly FREE. Nokia mainly uses Android One and Android One just works, this is mainly due to Google's own efforts to make their OS as universal as possible. Google's Project Treble is made to just work even with MTK SoC without kernel source code so this effort were mainly by Google and NOT MTK. Third party custom skinned Android needs kernel source code in advance for them to have timely update, MTK wants to exploit this and give manufacturers a charge for what's supposedly free, we're talking about millions of USD here and not just pennies. That's why major manufacturers uses Snapdragon for most of their smartphones, even Nokia. All that MTK need is to comply with GPL and if they don't then it's not the phone manufacturer's fault.

Anonymous

But you can find Kernel sources for almost every Mediatek's soc... Problem often come from other vendors parts. It seems that the missing part on Note 8 is touchscreen...Mediatek can't be faulty for touchscreen part. The only one who have all the sources for a device is OEM. That's why it's the only one who can released full sources. And about Android Go, it's no longer Google who release update, it's OEM... Nokia has many other Mediatek soc....includind Helio P60, a more recent good midrange

Anonymous

Its can use long-lasting. Its can better choice for this phone (Mediatek Chipset). Please give ditails review. I am like this phone but iam concern about long term use. please give a details review.

DroidBoye

Your example is somewhat backwards. It is a norm for a midrange to catch-up to the flagships after 2 years of development. What I previously meant was that if the user expects a very noticeable performance increase (non-placebo), then he/she should opt for a flagship SoC for the new phone from a midrange (SD660) that he/she already has.

DroidBoye

Your point of comparison is only limited to a niche market. Nokia 1 is an Android Go device which Android and Mediatek has collaborated with for development just recently. There were only a handful of Mediatek SoC under Android Go platform. Also check the release date: MT6737 platform was released around 2016. Nokia 1 was released around 2018. Given their collaboration for the Android Go and the release date for the phone, it is clear that Nokia 1 should receive up to Android 10 major update as the phone was released only last year. This is one way for MTK SoC to have better OS support but not all of their SoC were released under a special collaboration with Android using an SoC that was pretty-much considered outdated. If you want better MTK and Android OS support? Choose Android Go that uses a 2 year old SoC but since we're in a midrange phone with MTK's latest SoC designed for gaming, I bet if you consider buying the Redmi Note 8 pro that you won't even consider buying the Android Go device just so you can have consistent Android Go update. To answer your question directly: "Was it Mediatek's fault?" I would say, YES, unless they changed their policy for the better that I never knew. Mediatek's issue with their own policies regarding open-source software were already talked a lot for years. If you are oblivious of such malpractices then you should read about those first before making an argument with a "cherry-picked" product just to prove a point.

Anonymous

I hope I'm wrong but this probably isn't going to be a good device if you like custom ROMs. MediaTek devices tend to have tumbleweed forums on XDA. Still, it's the Note series and that's pretty popular so I could be wrong. Even with that larger battery I think the slightly more expensive K20 is going to be a better buy. It may have no MicroSD and a smaller, albeit AMOLED screen but it'll probably end up having better SOTs and it already has custom ROMs.

And beats SD730 and even some SD845 on speedtests...not bad! Cortex A76 are only clocked at 2.05ghz on G90T They're clocked at 2.27ghz on Kirin 810 It's normal to see Kirin 810 win And clocked at 2.2ghz on SD730 as Kryo 4x0 Gold are Cortex A76 Sd845 uses Cortex A75 (Kryo 3x0 Gold) but at higher frequencies Mediatek made a very good job in term of speed

Anonymous

The question is : "is it Mediatek's fault?" When you see how Nokia is able to update their devices, this is a real question! Even their cheaper phone, Nokia 1, released with Android 8.1, will receive Android 10... Nokia 1's soc is mt6737. Mt6737 was released with...Android 6.0!

Yes, obviously. Go to Mi Community and ask that question as politely as possible, lots of people would reply to you provided that moderators won't delete your post for "various reasons". lol.

DroidBoye

IF you could feel the heat outside the phone, that simply means that the "cooling system" is effective at removing heat away from the processor. This type of phenomenon is to be expected on systems that uses their frame and body for heat dissipation which is a standard on any smartphones.

Anonymous

The charging adapter has Type C or Type A USB connector port?

DroidBoye

Frequency and voltage used by the SoC has far greater effect on heating than the fab process (12nm).

DroidBoye

Don't compare Mediatek and Snapdragon directly. SD660 is still a viable SoC. You'll experience huge gains when you're jumping from midrange to flagship SD845 or higher series which is far better that just jumping from midrange to midrange-performance SoC.

DroidBoye

All mobile heats-up at full load.

What is SOC? I have bad experience with MTK than I have had Redmi Pro.

Vignesh

The only One problem is that it has a 12nm based architecture SoC so it will surely heat up a lot.

Sorry no comment to price from me. Mostly, RN 8 is similar to RN 7 but has ultra-wide camera. RN 8 Pro has much faster CPU and better new 64 MP camera compared to RN 8 so it must be pricier. Note it may (or not) possibly heat up or not getting next Android update though. Whether it's true must be answered by experience and correct information.

Digs

What are you doing in this segment?, go back to realme.

Digs

What are you talking about!, note 7 pro is superior to note 8 pro?, the 7 is pure plastic and comes with an inferior chipset, sure its snapdragon but were talking about raw performace here and the Mediatek G90T trumps the SD675 in any test you could perform, even the build is vastly defferent from the 7, Note 8 Pro is built with premium matterials which are only found in Flagship Phones, how could it be a downgrade?

Digs

Its aluminum and yes you can feel the burn due to heat pipe displacing the heat from the proccessor.

Digs

Xiaomi has a pretty decent regular ota updates, the frequency of which spans in week sometimes months but atleast they pushed those updates when needed.

Digs

Its already cheap if you factor in the build and chipset I could say this phone is reasonably priced.

Andrea

How come the price changes from 180 eur to 290 eur? Even though it makes sense for note 8 priced at 190 eur. Please explain anyone.

Don't just degrade the phone because it has a mediatek g90t processor. It's faster than all mid range chipsets till date.Overall the phone has competitive specs,but the phone seems to be heating and less power efficient.Lets see if they can fix that in next generation chipsets.
