I don't write reviews normally but i will say the full truth here,
Been using the phone since Nov 2019 (3 years) since it was released, and i would definitely recommend it to any of my friends and family even recently, it cost me 200$ back then but now it worth about 130$ but in Turkey here still cost 200$ until this day because of IMEI registration to GSM signals upon reaching Turkey, so the value is still the same after 3 years.
About reliability this phone fell on floor more than all my previous phones but never had malfunction or a break of screen, still working amazingly, (been using it 2 years without screen protection) still no harm.
As for speed its . more than average unless the memory is full it could be laggy and some apps turns off automatically when Switching apps (frustrating).
I got 265gb sd card for 25$ recently to save apps and media but (NO APPS CAN BE INSTALLED OR MOVED TO SD *NEVER) SD card only good for media storing.
I have 64gb rom/4gb ram type, if you had 32gb its a nightmare for you i guess.
Best pros is that its long time battery, only noticing running out recently (upon using ofcourse)
GSM, BLUETOOTH, MOBILE DATA, HOTSPOT, FLASH, CAMERA, WIDGETS works fine
Games only mid , not for pro gamers.
Camera quality is fair (compared to MegaPixels of new phones)
Hope this clarify most important aspects about redmi 8.

FYI, my mother is still using it and she loves it. Battery lasts for 2-3 days for her.

Slow and locked up even when no apps running. Not blocking, allows too much garbage build up in cache. Average camera.

I've been using this for about 30 months, so far it's not that much of a problem, it's just that sometimes it's a little slow even though I still have a lot of phone memory and also don't open many applications, and it heats up quickly, if it's too hot often my signal and cellular data disappears automatically. suddenly
*I'm using miui 11 & android 9 so far and didn't think to update it ^^

I disagree with silly complaints. It's a very good phone, I bought it for my father. Sturdy enough. Network speed is very good also with tethering. It also has VoLTE. User interface is smooth, good screen and general speed. Just a mediocre camera but I paid 120euros for it and sincerely I don't care about it

Been using a Redmi 8 since Jan 2020 and the minor niggles are starting to add up. More than anything MIUI is really annoying and ram management is horrible. Don't get me wrong its a bulletproof phone and the battery life is still expectional. But given its budget phone with a budget soc, everyday performance has taken a hit. Alot of freezing and delays even when answering a call. I have lost count how many times I needed to take a photo/video asap and camera took like 10 seconds to load. And another thing people on other forums mentioned it's not advisable to update the software on a budget phone. Don't know if this true or not.
I got 2 and a half years out of this phone, don't know if I should be happy about this or not. A family member give me a Galaxy A72 last year and I haven't even used it. Just switched it on to update the software and test the camera. Maybe it's time to use it but I feel guilty just casting aside the Redmi 8.
