Bought the 128gb variant in early 2020, upgrading from the Redmi 3S Prime. Recently upgraded to the Samsung S21 FE. The Redmi Note 8 served me well until it started popping full screen ads out of nowhere. I liked the device and it still works, albeit with a bit of a bloated battery and much less battery life compared to the one and a half days I used to get when it was new. It was a real value for money and I don't mind a bit of bloatware, but it was the unnecessary full screen ads out of nowhere that steered me away from Xiaomi. The outrageous gimmicky camera setups of new budget and midrangers also kinda played a part. Anyway, I was satisfied with the service the device gave me the last 3-4 years.

no bad thoughts, I'm just going to give my opinion about the note 8 and I'll make a small comparison with the Honor 8X from February 2019 because I have these 2 phones, as for the Note 8 when I bought it for my wife in May 2019 and in the store window it was very beautiful Moonlight White and I can add that it has an excellent bright display and that's where the good features end because this one is beautiful with good hardware, but the MIUI operating system is most likely made for speed and is messy and full of ads that slow down the phone, when I compare it to the Honor 8X which is in the same range with a similar price, Honor is twice as fast in all operations, so I don't know how to be satisfied when you have to waste time removing adds and every upgrade was with some problems and even a software crash, all those problems do not exist with Honor it is simply a harmonious phone that today works perfectly as it did the first day, that's why I stick to what has been tested and when I buy my next phone it will definitely be Honor.

In Oct 2019 after many days search and comparison between different mobile models that time I decided to buy Redmi not 8, coz that time in this price only xiaomi offer good features and protection like coring gorilla glass 5 in reasonable price. I use this cell last 5 year and only 1 time cell going to service center due to software crash and reinstall the whole software. now a days I'll considering new cell phone coz I need more fast processor with protection, surprisingly I'll shocked now a days same feature of Redmi not 8 not available in any midrange cell phone model and if I want these features with same protections then It is necessary to buy some semi flagship mobile models in high price comparing to Redmi not 8

February in Germany, but there is no exact data yet, the prices are also variable, what I will not order directly is because of the tax that will be recalculated when the phone arrives and the price will increase by an additional hundred euros plus shipping and it will be expensive, so if it arrives in Germany soon, I will order it through a friend and it will surely be cheaper there, or should I wait if it arrives globally everywhere, but I'm not in a hurry, I picked this model and I'll wait as long as it takes because it's my choice, I definitely want the Honor Magic 6 pro, but it's too expensive for me

pane, 26 Feb 2024nice that you liked my opinion and I would give you a sugge... moreYeah me too. I`m waiting for Honor 100 and 100 Pro. Everything is perfect. Honor 100 Pro is a complete phone in it`s price and better than other phones at this price. But I am worried about one thing. I'm not sure if it will have global release or not, what do you think? I can`t wait for Honor 100 series. Are you sure Honor 100 Pro will have global version or it`s only for China`s market?

Now Honor is one of my favorites too and is one of my options. 4 years ago when i wanted to buy a new phone I was stuck bitween Honor 8X and Note 8 but because of Xiaomi's deceptive numbers and features and cheap price also Note 8 was newer and had Snap Dragon 665 chipset. I chose the Note 8 and later regretted why I didn't choose the Honor 8X and I lost real quality. Good for you that you bought Honor 8X. I will use your advice and probably I will buy Honor`s mid-renge phone for now but later i will go for Honor`s flagship phones. actually i fell in love with Honor Magic 5 series in last year and now Honor Magic 6 Pro. It`s my most favorite phone. I will get a flagship phone from Honor in future.

My only problem with Redmi Note 8 Gingko is the VoWiFi function. It does not turn on automatically when connected to a wifi if cellular is not available. It does not have a modem test tool or .MBN app in the system. Currently I'm in MIUI 12.5.2 I don't know if the previous MIUI versions have tools to configure VoWiFi system configuration. Could anyone tell me?

I bought my Redmi Note 8 with global ROM on March 2020. in 4 months Xiaomi gave 3 updates. I updated my phone every time and I haven't any problem but after the third update, the battery consumption increased drastically. Imagine a new phone having such a problem just after 4 months. 3 months later, I changed the ROM and the battery consumption improved, but it was not the same as before. After a year and a half, the phone was slow and I did a factory reset, and right after the factory reset, the battery consumption increased and everything I did, even changing the ROM, did not fix it. miui has problems with battery consumption after the update on most of its phones. Even on the 12T series, the battery consumption was high after update. Now, after four years, I am thinking of a new phone and according to my experience and other users even on flagship killer phones of Xiaomi, I will not buy Xiaomi again even with HyperOS and my next phone will be one of the brands Realme, Oppo, Vivo or OnePlus. Goodbye Xiaomi

AaronTechnic, 01 Feb 2024Hey I have this phone and I've been experiencing some ... moreYeah I agree, not a fan of the huge sized screens either.
Since I strictly want it for the camera and potentially audio recording I think I might go for a refurbished xiaomi mi 10 pro, since it's excellent in both departments, and 80% health battery isn't a major concern. 6.67" screen though!
A54 looks decent for £240ish new. In hindsight redmi note 8 has been great for the price

As for me the Redmi Note 13 looks good, but they're like 6.7 inches in size these days, much bigger compared to the 6.3 inch Note 8. Overall finding a proper sized budget phone is hard. Currently the Samsung Galaxy A54 (or A55 if it releases this year) looks like the best option but it is about 400 pounds.

I don't keep up with technology much anymore, what's the best phone to upgrade to from this for ~£150 with a decent camera?
Had this for 4 years and it's becoming pretty unreliable and glitchy. I bought a DOOGEE N50 pro for £150 and sent it back straight away. Screen is low res and shit, and the camera was also significantly worse. That 20g ram didn't actually translate to a better performing phone. Feel like there's loads of budget phones just tryna squeeze out big number: 50mp OCTA CAMERA WITH 6 GAZILLION GIGS OF RAM. cool. still a worse phone in all aspects than a 5 year old phone that cost the same money at release?
Really confused with the current state of budget phones, any recommendations are appreciated. Nice camera is all I care for tbh

When I first bought the Redmi Note 8 it was great until a few months ago when it started telling me my storage is almost full. I've deleted almost every single thing on it and it still keeps saying the same thing. I don't have music on my phone anymore, I have less than 800 pictures currently and barely have any apps because I deleted them all and it still says my storage is full. It was a great phone when I bought it but I would never recommend anyone to buy one because of the storage issues I am personally having with it.

I really don't know how to choose a cellphone, this is my graduation gift. so I choose this because of my friend's suggestion, because I dont use it for gaming or photo, so just need the basic for comunnication.
i used this phone since 2020. after 1.5 years of use without problem, it started asking to restart for no reason. After 2.5 years of use, its always ask to turn off for 1-2 hour, If I forget, my cellphone will error at important times, such as the camera goes blank, error volume power or heat.
but overall I am satisfied. After using it for more than 3 years, the camera is still good, there is no decrease in battery power, the charger is still good, the body still good (I can't count how many times I dropped my cellphone). the error that occurs is because I don't know how to take care for my cellphone.
cause now i work, i start thinking to change my phone but i dont know what type to choose.
