Xiaomi<\/a> launches lots of smartphones and most of them are the best for the price. Right now, they provide you the most value smartphone for any price segment. To be fair, there are only a handful of smartphones that can really compete with Xiaomi’s offering.<\/p>\n In Nepal, their K-series<\/a> and Redmi series<\/a> are untouchable. With this, they have dominated the budget and mid-range market. Redmi Note 8 Pro<\/a> is the recent addition to their Redmi lineup and we know that it’s the best phone for the price. But, is everything great or are there any disappointments? Let’s find out.<\/p>\n On a first glance, Redmi Note 8 Pro<\/strong> looks like a premium handset, it doesn’t feel like an affordable mid-ranger at all. The glass back design on the Redmi Note 8 Pro certainly gives it a more premium look. The glass back has a glossy finish and gives off pink shades when light strikes it at different angles. Well, the glass back is slippery but the sides are curved which adds to better grip. As for protection, it uses Gorilla Glass 5<\/strong> on the front and back.<\/p>\n One of the exciting features of the Redmi Note 8 Pro rests on the back; a quad camera setup. Below the camera module, there’s a fingerprint sensor. The whole camera module has a sizeable bump and it does wobble quite a bit when placed on a flat surface.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The glass sandwich is held by a plastic frame that does a fine job of imitating a steel frame look. On the left, there are two slots: one for a single sim card and the other for a sim card and a micro sd. Volume and power buttons reside on the right side. The buttons feel clicky and rigid.<\/p>\n Moving on to the bottom, there’s a headphone jack, a USB type C port, and a single bottom-firing speaker. Likewise, there’s an IR blaster and mic on the top.<\/p>\n Redmi Note 8 Pro surprised many with its performance and it sure surprised us as well. The Helio G90T<\/strong> chipset is astonishing in terms of raw performance. Combined with 6GB or 8GB of RAM<\/strong>, the Redmi Note 8 Pro is a performance king for its segment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Measly tasks like browsing, app opening, app switch, and even multitasking is a breeze. There are no hiccups. Talking about games, they are not a problem either. Games like PUBG Mobile, COD Mobile, and Asphalt 9 run on the highest settings without any lags or hiccups. It’s a joy to play games on the Redmi Note 8 Pro.<\/p>\n Now, it definitely gets slightly warm but it’s normal and doesn’t require any attention.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Redmi Note 8 Pro uses 4 sensors but the headline feature is it’s 64MP main sensor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Normally, the main sensor uses pixel binning to capture 16MP photos. And, the general daylight photos are quite good with good details and clarity. Colors can feel slightly saturated but it is natural most of the time. Dynamic range is quite wide and the HDR does a good job with highlights.<\/p>\n Moving indoors does degrade the photo quality slightly as noise reduction reduces the detail and the image looks slightly more processed.<\/p>\n However, you can use the 64MP option for these kinds of situations which captures more detail and looks more natural.<\/p>\n Low-light images are decent. The details are quite nice and the colors are good as well. Using night mode gives you improved clarity as it increases sharpness and details.<\/p>\nDesign<\/h3>\n
