Redmi note 8 pro

         Redmi Note 8 Pro Review.


what up guy this is Ritesh and as you can tell by the title it's time for our full review of the redmi note 8 pro starting off with design it's hard not to like the build of the redmi note 8 pro it's got a glass back that curves into the rounded metallic frame the display in the back are protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and just look at this green color we have it looks stunning though it isn't the most unique looking thing in our opinion at the back we can find the rear mounted fingerprint scanner it seems to be part of the camera module to its place that you very bought them allowing it to be slightly protruded which makes the camera bump seem a bit bigger as well in front we get a dewdrop notch and it resides a 20 megapixel selfie shooter above it you'll find an LED notification light in the earpiece on the left side is the hybrid dual SIM card tray while on the right resides the volume rocker and power button up top we get an IR blaster and a microphone for loudspeaker and at the bottom you'll find a single downward firing speaker USB type-c port noise cancelling mic for regular calls and a headphone jack overall this phone is a little hefty in their hands but it isn't something uncomfortable to hold though do expect quite the bulge when kept in your pockets for display we get a six-point 53 inch full HD plus IPS LCD panel with a resolution of 23 40 by 1080 protected with Gorilla Glass 5 I know a lot of people are kind of disappointed in this as most redmi note fans expected an AMOLED panel with this iteration though I must say it isn't a bad panel in fact colors are pretty much accurate and yeah you don't get those deep blacks but consuming media on this device is still pretty great audio from the single downward firing speaker can get very loud though at max volume the sound can come off a little bit distorted and of course sound separation isn't the best though luckily we still get a 3.5 millimeter audio jack on this device so that's great for hardware under the hood is a mediatek helio g9 TT coupled with a Mallee g76 mc4 GPU and yes I know another thing you read me fans are disappointed with is that chipset the g9e T's been rumored to heat up a lot though with my usage it never felt extremely hot if it's anything it felt hot when I got it out of my bag where I kept it charging by a power bank though please expect us to check out that supposed heating issue in our Kenneth game episode of this device for configurations we actually bought our unit from Chandi and currently they only have these six gigs of RAM configurations available so that's six gigs of RAM with either 64 or 128 gigs of internal storage and yes we do get microSD card support on this device too for software we get Android 9pi skin with me UI 10.4 on top officially available in our Shores just yet now--my UI isn't our favorite skin but it's definitely not part of our bottom picks the interface is clean simple and functionally customizable with this device we never really felt any slowdowns when it came to the usual browsing the web and social media multitasking between apps and even general gaming though for those of you interested in our benchmark scores I'll flash them on screen now talking about security this device gets fingerprint and face unlock they're both very quick but that rear mounted fingerprint scanner will definitely be more secure for battery the redmi note 8 pro gets a four thousand five hundred million hours sell that support squad comes with charge for plus it took a little less than an hour and a half to charge this guy up from zero to a hundred in the pc mark battery test our unit got a score of 11 hours and twelve minutes in our standard video loop test which entails the phone being in airplane mode 50% brightness 50% volume and with earphones plugged in the note 8 pro got us a total of 17 hours and 10 minutes of playback these scores are quite surprising considering that big 4,500 million power cell so I guess that's disappointing too now for something more interesting the cameras this is the first smartphone in the world to feature a 64-megapixel main shooter and it does bring a lot of hype but with all that hype can they back up the talk so at the rear you get a quad camera setup composed of that 64 megapixel main shooter and 8 megapixel ultra-wide a 2-megapixel depth sensor and a 2-megapixel macro lens on the front-facing side of things we get that 20-megapixel selfie shooter in the notch alright for samples starting the default photo mode here we're using the ultra-wide sensor and for less than 20k things look promising detail is not a strength with this sensor but clearly dynamic range is pretty good next we have some flat life here this was shot with the main sensor and gloomy weather aside things are looking good color reproduction isn't the most natural looking but with the main sensor at least details are very well preserved now we have the same shot but in 2x and well it is a digital zoom but in good lighting conditions you definitely won't notice this time in ultra-wide as you guys can see the overall exposure takes a hit when compared to these standard lens no doubt because of the smaller aperture but again the dynamic range is good but I do think the post-processing tends to over sharpen the image just a little bit too much than I like moving on that main shooter did surprise me in this shot we don't get the most optimal lighting conditions here but as you can see overall exposure was handled very well though again that color reproduction isn't much to my liking still as for the 64-megapixel mode cropping is the name of the game here and it definitely works if we zoom into the box we can clearly see that the text and logo on the 64-megapixel image does appear sharper and more readable details are definitely better preserved and cropping for portrait mode so check background separation isn't perfect but it's not bad either I like how we can change the intensity of the bokeh effect after the fact though the other lighting effects are garbage as for portrait selfies the bokeh cut out kinda feels a little bit more aggressive compared to the rear shooter but it's not that bad either the actual default selfies themselves look pretty good as well it just tends to overexpose highlights a lot but results are consistent through various lighting conditions which is nice for night mode we have our reference shot next to the night mode shot clearly you all can see it works and in terms of real-world usage it's pretty snappy too the thing is it's that good we still get a lot of noise in artifacts in the actual night mode shot and honestly if you were just showing off the image on your phone it wouldn't look as bad as when we're actually reviewing the images side-by-side with the reference photo and such so yeah now something that I surprisingly had a lot of fun using was that macro lens like you can get really really close to your subject especially if you have the right lighting on your subject my goodness it is fun to see how close you can get to something just to take a series of photos going back like we did here for video you can shoot on a resolution of up to 4k at 30 frames per second the electronic image stabilization isn't that good so if you were thinking of doing a video with this device I definitely recommend you use a smartphone gimble front-facing video, on the other hand, seems to be very average no stabilization at all but in general for both the rear and selfie video output does seem usable nonetheless oh and bonus you also have the capability to record video on the macro lens as well and it's definitely a welcome treat now before we wrap up this video we gotta talk about price the redmi note 8 pro will cost you thirteen thousand two hundred pesos for the six gigs of ram plus 64 gigs of internal storage variant and fourteen thousand seven hundred pesos for these six gigs of ram plus 128 gigs of internal storage configuration again i'd like to mention that we bought our unit from Xaiomi if you were wondering now if you're thinking of copying this device what you'll be getting is kind of a controversial chipset great camera hardware surprisingly average battery life and a great IPS display so what did you guys think of it redmi note 8 let us know in
