4/64 RN 8 $170
4/64 RN 8 Pro $240
4/128 Realme 5 Pro $195
Here in Indonesia I would rather pay a bit more for Realme with better chipset than RN 8 tbh.

camera wise redmi is more to natural looks, a bit washed out.
RealMe however, goes for vivid color, it causes color pops out more but innacurate.

Gobinath, 28 Nov 2019Samsung always low in performanceSamsung can't compete here, even the Redmi Note 8 isn't the fastest chipset. It checks all the boxes for $160 segment, even the Galaxy A30 can't catch up!

It can play recently released high graphic demand games very well without an issue.

Maybe they listened the community complaints?

saif2711, 27 Nov 2019Not really..Being from a joint family where we have realme ... moreRedmi's GCam support and stable versions are way better than Realme's. You see, Oppo does NOT have a huge community support unlike Xiaomi. Oh, and don't forget that Realme 5 (not Pro) still retains microUSB which is a step down from the competition.

saif2711, 27 Nov 2019The only alternative I see is the realme 5/5s.While note 8 ... moreOverall the Realme 5s appears to be a decent phone at the price of Rs 9,999. The Redmi Note 8 is more than just decent. In the full review of the Note 8, we called it the "best smartphone under Rs 10,000". Both the Realme and Redmi phone come with same price tag.
At the same price of Rs 9,999 the Redmi Note 8 appears to be a better phone with FHD+ screen, premium design, more RAM, more storage, 18W fast charging in the box and Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

If I compare this to my Redmi Note 4, in theory it should be better in the audio department (Snapdragon 730 should have better DSP than the 625), but you look at the test tables... what the hell is going on? Could they really be using cheaper audio components?

-''Samsung Galaxy M30 is quite cheaper already and you can buy a high-res Super AMOLED, a faster chipset''
How is the Exynos 7904(undercloked 7885) faster than SD665 ?
exynos is 105K antutu while SD os 140K antutu !!
-Can you elaborate the ''The performance is actually a downgrade since the Note 7" ?
-Add Bluetooh 4.2 as cons...
thank you great test was waiting too long :)

Anonymous, 27 Nov 2019For the camera redmi is betterNot really..Being from a joint family where we have realme devices like 2 pro,3 pro,xt and redmi devices like note 6 pro,note 7 pro and note 8 pro.All I have observed is that the image quality in 2 pro was better than note 6 pro,3 pro>>note 7 pro and xt>>note 8 pro though slightly...Another advantage with realme devices is the availablity of stable g cam from xda developers which makes the camera even better.

It does NOT have Bluetooth 5.0, it's 4.2; and don't forget to add it to the "cons" section.

The only alternative I see is the realme 5/5s.While note 8 wins when it comes to fast charging,USB C and fHD display,Realme has its advantage in the form of better image processing,bigger battery,better gaming performance,better power efficiency due to its HD+ display and early Android 10 availablity.
