rickylim123, 12 Apr 2024what bro? really? li-poly is advanced version of li-ion and... moreSeveral articles I found say otherwise. They said that Li-Ion is has longer life span (more charge cycles), while Li-Po has higher density at the cost of shorter life-span. I even have a good evidence of that. For comparison, my old Samsung Galaxy J5 is almost 7 years and the battery still goes strong for 3000mAh even though it likely has over 1000 charge cycles. Obviously, not comparing it to 4500mAh, but still. There is no sign of battery bulging at all and I always just slow charged it through night. But, I still don't use it actively. I like the size compared to nowadays modern phones, but it's not worth it to daily drive an outdated android version.
Overall, Redmi Note 8 Pro was good for it's time. The biggest caveat this phone had though is that Helio G90T, while a decent processor after a few years it started to overheat like trash. 45 degrees while watching a youtube video in app, the same in browser. Just unacceptable. Best ones in the budget range right now are Redmi Note 12 Pro (if you want headphone jack) and Samsung Galaxy A34 (if you want SD card slot). Both of these phones have Dimensity 1080 which outperforms Helio G90T with ease in terms of performance and efficiency. Dimensity 1080 never overheats when not needed and when doing demanding task it goes to 37.5 degrees on note 12 pro and 41 degrees max on galaxy a34 and is still comfortable to hold. Poco X6 and Redmi Note 13 Pro are also good with the newest SD 7 gen 2! Poco X6 Pro though is just top notch, worth getting, though out of the mentioned price range, but still relatively close if you want a phone that will last you longer.

Super phone in it's time. I used it very roughly for long time without cover and it still not got any scratches.

US, 01 Apr 2024I bought this phone in December 2019, more than 4 years and... moreI have it still, but not using it anymore. Even though it's durable and served me well, remember. I have read that it has Li-Po battery, which has less life span cycles than Li-Ion. Although, it's kind of weird. My Redmi Note 8 Pro has over 1100 charge cycles now and the battery capacity is still quite acceptable. However, this device reaching almost 5 years in August 2024 since manufacturing, I would be having safety concerns since on batteries that said it's lifespan is 5 years. I'm not gonna bother changing it because of glass back. So, it served me well, better to retire it now than the battery would explode out of sudden in my pocket or something and Li-Po battery explosions ain't fun at all.

I bought this phone in December 2019, more than 4 years and its working fine, the heating issue in the sunlight remains the same from the start, apart from faster battery drainage, I play mobile legends game a lot on this, for like 3 hours... daily almost but still this phone is working is admirable. Thinking to retire it now but a great phone, bought it in 42K PKR. been GREAT for money. Outshined itself for running for 4 years straight and more

Anonymous, 06 Nov 2023Mine to.maybe I Change the battery but I will keep it..fast... moreUpdates made it better. MIUI 12.5 works best. I had some hickups with older software, but now, it's running for days without a problem.
I bought it over 3 years ago and I can't decide what I should replace it with. It was on a discount then in December for $190. There's nothing new within this price range worth buying today.

I have been using it since January 2020, never had any issues whatsoever. Battery is good, I don't play games at all. I ise it for calls, internet, social media, YouTube, photos here and there. I charge it to 100% once a day, and that's enough.

Ive had this phone since 9th November 2020, still going strong. Battery life of course is not as good as it was when it was new but I can get away with charging it every ~36hours and the charging is fast. So I really don't have any problems with the phone. Oh and the pictures you can take on this are great.

Good: It supports both fast charging from Qualcomm Quick Charge and MediaTek Pump Express! Most smartphones only support one of these standards, but this one both!
Bad: Lack of optical image stabilization. 4K video is useless and shaky without optical image stabilization. Even the Galaxy Note 4 from 2014 makes better videos than this thing. Why? Because its camera is, you guessed it, optically stabilized.
The video from the Redmi Note 8 looks like that of the Note 3 from 2013.
But the 64 Megaxpiel photographs undeniably look amazing at daylight.

Bought this phone (6/128GB) back in March 2020 before the lockdown for about $230. Everything still working well and fast. Battery, screen and camera still great. Can play games at high to max graphics 55-60fps even after almost 4 years. Absolutely worth my money. Never had regrets.
