Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro review

04 Oct 2019


Sort by:

Ive been a Samsung S8 user (loved it, battery sucked big time though). Oneplus 5T and Mate 10 Pro have also been my recent phones from the flagship category... I recently switched to this phone Note 8 Pro and I must say, in this price range, it is an ABSOLUTE BEAST. It can easily be compared with Samsung S9 series in all aspects except the screen tech.

    Hasan, 24 Jan 2020Does rn8 pro heat much in playing pubg?Im not sure if it has any cooling system or not but I play PUBG a lot. Havent experienced any heat issue.

      sania, 25 Jan 2020can anyone plz tell me should I buy y9s or note 8 pro? whi... moreIve used both. The camera on Y9s is pretty bad when compared to Note 8 Pro. I get superb shots with Note 8 Pro.... Also the CPU/GPU and RAM is way more better in Note 8 Pro.

                          This is the worst phone I have ever had and would never buy another one. I set the sound and it reverts to no sound. My phone dies not ring and I cannot use it. It needs to be trashed!!!

                            Yes, this phone is ok, for games in general and big apps.
                            I have it for 1-2 months and until now is ok!

                              In terms of RAM, Nothing to add, its working great, battery also, I can play for around 4-5 hrs in ULTRA and it gets from 100% to around 50% (in 4-5 hrs that's pretty decent).
                              Go get this beast and u wont regret.
                              Cheers.

                                Currently thinking to buy this. I'm currently using mi5 with MIUI 10. It has problem with its battery and RAM management, so I'm looking for a replacement. How does the RAM management goes in Note 8 Pro? I want to be able to play a game, switch to chatting app to reply some chat, and then return back to the game without relaunch.

                                In my current phone, I can't do that. My game got forced close everytime and need to relaunch. From my knowledge, that is because of MIUI keep killing apps.

                                Does Note 8 Pro suffer from that too? I am hoping 6GB RAM is enough to counter that

                                      Hello. Today I connected a Boya MM1 microphone to Redmi Note 8 Pro. A flashing headphone icon appeared on the screen next to the download indicator. The sound is also recorded pulsating with a characteristic pop at the same frequency. I changed the cables and it didn't help. The same problem occurs when recording sound in videos. On Redmi Note 4x the microphone works properly. What can you do to solve the problem? Is the phone broken or is there a software error?
