          I had this phone in 2020 with 2/32 GB variant. The battery was amazing. Single charging can run for 1.5 days. But the phone was very slow. I could barely run 2 apps at a time. After 3 months, it was too slow to run single app thus, I discarded the phone in frustration. Within a year, it automatically died.

                Amazing smarphone,
                i hardbricked it 2 times, support helped me, thanks,
                i was attacked by 2 Niles crocodiles during my vacation in Egypt, killed one of them with my redmi 8a, the second one was scared and ran away, water didn't damaged my redmi 8a a bit!!! so much about certification of water protection!!
                i am still using it as my second phone,
                btw, i flashed xiaomi-eu, it gave my phone second life, well, maybe fifth life,
                anyway, it runs amazing after 4 and half years!!!

                  This product should not be upgraded to Android 10, and should have stayed in Android 9. Plus, the 2GB model shouldn't have existed in the first place.

                      MysticDreamer, 12 Jul 2023A scratch has appeared on the screen and I am wondering how and when and why on gorilla glass??? Gorilla Glass Doesn't translate to an invicible screen. My Galaxy S23 Has the newest Gorilla screen and it cracked when it fall from my pocket. It Badly cracked and It shattered My finger, Ouch!

                      You should get a Screen protector, for like $10 or more, To ensure the lifetime of your screen. Cheers!

                          Marc Gaedzen, 09 Nov 2021I have been on a bad experience with this phone, which will be my last Xiaomi device. The budg... moreMy mother is stuck with 8A
                          she got it for 7000pkr which is like $42.
                          I just checked it yesterday

                          As I was cleaning & deleting stuff up
                          Cause once the 80% marks hit
                          It will slow down disasterously
                          I checked to see if it would play h.265 mkv
                          & It was playing it stutteringly,lol

                          My hybrid tab that I use as basically a television can't play h.265
                          It's a core m3 m5y10c 4gb

                          Any way previous month my mum complained that the display isn't coming on fast,using power key
                          I knew that they have filled in & bloated it again

                          Temporarily I just rebooted it & that solved her problems
                          Now I have cleaned memory space as well

                          But I have now bought a stupid replacement
                          A sharp Aquos sense 5G 4gb for her
                          Now because the screen on the 8A is 6'3
                          & Sense5g is 5'8

                          She's basically ignoring the new cheapster
                          & Using that one
                          She's stuck & my coin is wasted
                          I basically bought this for $120 here
                          & I would just give this on $42 to her
                          & She's not interested, I'm screwed
