My Redmi note 8 stopped all goggle play services. I gave up trying to download via all platforms as it doesn't recognize any of them. Its a good machine though

      MuhammadFaizan, 29 Oct 2023Overall this phone is great but So much lag these days. Like have to restart 2-3 times a day ... moreSo true, it's really noticeable for me as well. I'm pretty sure it wasn't like in my first year of usage. Do you think it's the updated OS slowing down the phone? Got so fed up, planning to flash a custom rom

            a fast charger charges the battery faster, but it degrades even faster and the battery life is short, so a regular charger is better

                Jonno, 29 Nov 2022I'm having the same issue where the phone restarts randomly, but also the screen flickers... moreI have the same problem, I solved that problem by bringing it to the service center for a battery replacement. I believe that it is because of me using a much faster charger, around 18 watts. I think the battery voltage increases when you used it with a faster charger than the included one.

                  Like have to restart 2-3 times a day using YouTube, Insta, Tiktok etc.
                  They have to work on UI though, there are phones with slower Processors and yet working fine cause of their OS.

                        It's probably of not much use for such an old phone, but the Macro camera has autofocus too. It can be accessed from the "Pro" (Manual) mode selecting such camera and pressing "F".

                          They did not teach how to use the rear cameras in the place of the vice-chancellor......There are many mistakes

It is honestly a decent phone overall and a good phone in its segment.

                              The problem now:
                              1. When opening the camera, need to touch back and push the volume down button - sensor issue
                              2. Volume down button problem
                              3. Lagging due to too many apps

                              Overall, worth buying.

                                  In my opinion, this budget phone has exceeded my expectations. My dad bought it in 2019, and I've been using it since last year when he gave it to me. The battery life is commendable, lasting a full day for browsing and around 4-5 hours for low graphic games, although it might drop to 2-3 hours for high graphic games due to faster draining. The phone handles Genshin Impact smoothly on low graphics, with occasional lag. The camera performs well when used correctly. However, I did come across some cons, such as too many ads in pre-installed apps, automatic app restarts when switching in recents, and occasional hang-ups, especially with the camera when the storage is almost full. Overall, considering it's a budget phone, I find it to be a great deal. I believe it's essential to manage our expectations and recognize that if we want more features and a flawless phone, investing in higher-grade phones would be the way to go. No offense intended, and thank you

                                      it's like buying a new car and taking it to the service center to remove the factory defects, isn't it better to enjoy the factory perfection, at the same time I bought the Honor 8X, which is perfection without any flaws and not a single annoying advertisement, pure android that is 2 times faster than redmi note 8, definitely never xiaomi crap again
