Performance and Software

The Snapdragon 665 chipset, 4 GB of RAM, and 64GB variant is what is available in Kenya. You’re going to be satisfied by the fluidity of Redmi’s MIUI 10, the custom UI powering Xiaomi and Redmi Phones.

The hardware on the Redmi Note 8 is capable of tackling games such as the PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty. This phone does not heat up when gaming, but it can heat up a bit when gaming heavily but not to the extent of making it difficult for you to hold it.

Note 8 offers a good multimedia experience when watching videos. Although it does not comes with stereo speakers, the available speaker is loud enough to allow you to comfortably listen to music, watch movies, and your favorite TV shows. If the notch bothers you, MIUI skin allows you to hide it by cropping out the area.

Like its more expensive sibling, the Redmi Note 8 Pro, this device has a cool color temperature on its display. MIUI lets you adjust the temperature and tint to your liking. Its contrast is average and color balance is good enough.

Redmi Note 8 supports 18W fast charging and comes with a 4,000mAh battery. This phone can last for more than a day on regular use.

Camera Performance

This phone captures beautiful shots during the day with its quad rear camera system. The main 48MP camera clicks detailed shots in natural outdoor light. However, colors are highly dependent on light intensity.

Redmi Note 8 Vs Redmi Note 8 Pro

The biggest difference between this phone and the Note 8 Pro is in the chipset. Redmi Note 8 runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 while the Note 8 Pro is powered by the Mediatek Helio G90T chipset. The difference is not noticeable as far as performance is concerned. It’s only noticeable when switching between apps or when opening them. If you feel you need extra power, it best that you opt for the pro version.

The Redmi Note 8 offers value for money. IT competes effectively with the likes of Samsung Galaxy A21s, Oppo A53, and Nokia 5.3. If you’re looking for a good smartphone under 20k, Redmi Note 8 is a strong contender.
