Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro - 7 Reasons it's Still on Demand

This is one of Xiaomi's mid-range phone. The Redmi Note 8 Pro, like all of the Redmi phones, is packing a lot of features for a low price. 

The Redmi Note 8 Pro is a pretty affordable phone with a huge battery, a gaming-centric chipset, and an impressive-looking quad camera setup. The phone is built from Gorilla Glass. Though Xiaomi has opted to make the frame from plastic not metal, probably for budget reasons, the finish is quite glossy. The glass isn't entirely flat, the subtle curves add a nice aesthetic to this budget phone.

 The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro comes in Electric Blue, Halo White, and Shadow Black color options. One strange detail is that the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner sits on the camera bump itself, right below the cameras. It's lightning-fast but if you're not careful it's quite easy to accidentally smudge the ultra-wide camera with your finger.

This display looks nice even though it's not an AMOLED. Still, there's a good contrast for an LCD and high brightness up to 460 nits with a manual slider and there's a boost to 640 in auto mode when it's sunny out. Colors aren't the most accurate however with whites tending toward bluish. Sensors in LCD, we might not expect an always-on display but there is a notification LED that can give you a heads up to check your messages. 

Besides using the fingerprint reader you can quickly unlock the phone with facial recognition and the lift to wake function. It isn't as secure as the fingerprint scanner though. The note 8 pro's loudspeaker is located at the bottom, near the USB C port. Headphones can be plugged into the 3.5-millimeter jack and the output here has plenty of volume. 

Reasons for The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro's High Demand

1. Better Gaming Performance: The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro brings a brand new 12-nanometer MediaTek Helio G90T chipset which is supposed to be more powerful than its predecessors while still being energy efficient. The phone runs quite cool, thanks to its internal vapor chamber. 
2. Powerful 4500mah Power Battery: Powering the Note 8 Pro is a large 4,500 mah power battery and together with the power-efficient chipset it provides outstanding battery life.
3. Quick Charge 4.0: The Note 8 Pro supports quick charge 4.0 and USB power delivery, and an 18-watt charger gets it from 0 to 39 percent in half an hour, not too bad; but nothing special.
4. 64 Megapixel Quad Bayer Main Camera: The Note 8 Pro is one of the first phones to come up with a 64 Megapixel Quad Bayer Main Camera. Daylight photos with the main camera come out in 16 megapixels and they have plenty of detail, great contrast, and vibrant colors. There are some issues though, there's visible over-sharpening and dynamic range could be better. You have the option to shoot in the full 64 megapixels and unlike other Quad Bayer cameras, you actually do get nice results here.

5. 8 Megapixel Ultra-wide Camera: With the Redmi Note 8 Pro you also get an 8 Megapixel Ultra wide cam, a 2-megapixel camera for macro shots, and a depth sensor. Sadly the results from the ultra-wide camera aren't great. Of course, this gives you a wider field of view which you may want for your composition but these turned out soft and low in detail and the dynamic range is worse than on the main cam. 
6. 20 Megapixel F 2.0 Selfie Camera: Although the focus is fixed it does an excellent job producing some of the best selfies we've seen on a mid-ranger. They're sharp, detailed and the HDR works great. 
7. 4K Video @ 30fps: The Redmi Note 8 Pro can record video from the main cam up to 4k at 30fps and these look pretty good. There's a nice detail and the dynamic range is decently wide. The colors are a bit over the top though with high contrast and saturation. There is no stabilization in 4k either but 1080p videos are electronically stabilized. You can record with the ultra-wide camera only in 1080p and the results are nothing special.

So that's the Redmi Note 8 Pro. Below 20k, you get a nice looking glass design, outstanding battery life, class-leading performance, a bright LCD screen, a great main camera, and an excellent selfie cam with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro. Of course, Xiaomi had to make some compromises here and there in the most noticeable places and the quad-camera setup. Sure it sounds exciting but honestly, besides the main cam, the other three cameras aren't so impressive or even useful. Overall there's just not a whole lot to complain about here. The Redmi Note 8 Pro delivers standout features in an affordable package. And with no doubt, we can say that the Redmi Note 8 Pro is definitely a Budget Phone for the Gamers out there.
