Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 - user opinions and reviews

I bought this phone about six months ago, after using iPhone's for many years. Originally on Android 9, I found the O/S had come a long way since I last had an android phone. The Redmi updated to Android 10 without any problems. This is such a great phone, the build for the money is first class, they are not scrimping on the glass, the IPS panel or the features. I spent some time trying to find the best phone under £300.00 and this was by far the most superior. The sim tray takes two sims, and a micro SDXC card, fantastic! The phone was also supplied with a jelly cover which protects it, and feels great to hold. I never had a problem with the speed of the phone, or the sound. It was great having a phone where the battery would last over three days. I would buy it again.

This phone after the miui 11-12 update, the notification stopped existing not all though. Youtube, Google Play Services notification stopped from working, even if you use a authenticator it won't allow push notifications because google play services ain't installed despite being installed.
This phone sucks.

One of my worst phones when it comes to practical use. Poor connection to internet (WiFi or 4g), and the battery is the biggest problem. Barely used over 1 year and now I'm facing charging problems, which has never occured with other brands I've used.

Google Camera is a must have with this phone. Picture quality increases dramatically. I couldn't believe my eyes when I compared pics taken with the stock camera.

i can't really decide if i should go with this or the Redmi 9T. i'm quite a heavy user and 9T's batteru capacity really gets me, but Note 8's 4k video recording and gyro support is what gets me for RN8. so help, i guess?

I'm disappointed by this phone. Laggy, terrible display, slow performance and bad battery life.

Got it a few days ago after a long time wanting it. Was going for the Note 9 but I didn't like the Mediatek chipset, which also prevented it from getting 4k support in playback and recording. This also means it loses h.265 10-bit.
Big screen, the colors felt weird but that is me coming from an AMOLED panel previously. I do miss the pure black colors though.
Awesome battery. Updated it to MIUI 12, did a factory reset, and I'm rocking it. Over 9 hours of screen time on a full charge. The chipset is solid, but the software is kinda heavy so it has a few laggy animations.
A very capable phone after two years.

Only thing i like about is the 1080p screen. The rest is terrible especially it lags and hangs a lot in Android 10, and wont receive Android 11.
