I'm using this phone since October 2019, and it's a beast. Battery timing has reduced no doubt but the phone is running efficiently without any hiccups. I have replaced mostly apps with the latest available apk files from HyperOS and I'm thinking to use this phone for another year. I have purchased a slim 10k power bank and low battery timing issue has been partly resolved too 🙂👌🏻

The only thing I hated about this phone were haptics, it's like they got them from 2010 era.

After 5 years, this phone's battery is barely holding any charge. Accubattery says, it's holding only 2000mAh out of 4500mAh. So, it seems it's time to rest in peace for the Note 8 Pro. What next phone should I get (up to 260 euro)? I saw Poco X6 Pro, but I saw the prices go up even for the 8gb ram variant. I regret not taking Poco X6 Pro when I saw 8GB for exactly 250 euro. Maybe I should wait again, but I kind of need a phone right now in this scenario. How about non-Pro Poco X6 or Poco X7? Any of them are good or not? Maybe any other brand? I won't take any motorola below the edge 50 neo, though it is overpriced as well. Samsung is probably out of question because they make brick phones in mid-range category with the worst in-hand feel of sharp corners. I need something compact, but since I don't want curved screen, 74 / 75 mm in width will be my maximum.

In 2025, in what refers to gaming, Real Racing 3 in this phone with the last MIUI version it supports (12.5.15) goes smoothly at 60 fps with only occasional frame drops at 45 fps in the busiest races, even if it gulps battery and, as per fps trusting the monitor to measure both temperature and frame rate present in developer options, playing for long the phone goes over 50° C, even close to 55° C, even if it cools down fast after stopping playing presumably thanks to the cooling system.
I can't talk about demanding games as Genshin Impact, but the RN8 Pro in 2025 still seems to be an usable device.

Asphalt 8 Airborne goes by the same tool at 45 fps, never suffering frame drops even if the game probably lacks optimization as in a Redmi Note 9 Pro (similar performance but with a Snapdragon SoC instead) it never drops below 60 fps.

Absolutely good. Bought it when it released in Vietnam. Install Evolution X 9.5 in this device and it's good tbh

Had this phone since mid-2020, and it did me well until early 2025. Call of Duty Mobile ran on high graphics, though it got a bit hot—nothing unbearable, just a little uncomfortable. Roblox was solid too, with graphics level 5 or 7 being the sweet spot for most games.
The camera, though? Absolute garbage. There’s this faint white smudge on the lens that won’t go away no matter how much I clean it. Zooming in or taking close-up shots everything turns pixelated . Battery life is alright, I guess. Lasts about 6 and a half hours normally, but for gaming, it depends—Call of Duty and Roblox give me around 3 hours on a full charge.
Biggest issue? The charging board. The original one broke, got it replaced, and then that one broke too after 8 months. Now complaining on GSM, but I know this phone is out of production, so not much I can do. Still, had some good memories with it :)

But ya, will keep in mind your suggestion. Also, maxbhi can be a good source for parts in India.

Jhercel, 17 Dec 2024what do you expect? this model has already reached it'... moreI expect it to be 5 years from the date of last sale made to customer, which is around 2022 end.
Do we realize that with a 2 year expiry of service parts, some owners never even got to change their battery even once?
Every non-flagship Xiaomi is an e-waste in making, I'd say. (Flagships? no idea.)

I still have this phone as of October 2019. I've been using the Pixel Experience ROM with GCAM for 2 years and it's still a beast. I think I've done ~1000 charging cycles and the battery is still in good condition. But I'm thinking of changing to something more modern (oled, higher display refresh rate, 5G, wireless charging, 4K60 recording) I have two options - a used Pixel 8 Pro or Xiaomi 13t Pro (but I've heard the hyper os is not very well optimized). Which phone should I buy?
