I use this phone as a daily driver and i can say it's great (i have the 6 GB of RAM with 128 GB of internal storage version) but the thing I don't like about this phone is the Dark Mode, why? Well.because it's very buggy and needs to be fixed. Like the phone forces some apps that don't have dark mode to turn on dark mode and it makes them very ugly like you can't see the writing because the theme in the back is black.

ML90, 21 Aug 2021Don't use 12.5 betas because obviously you're going to run into "problems"... morething is MIUI 12.5.2 is not in beta anymore and it has rolled out.
I don't have any major issues using it other than wireless earbuds (The issue seems to be that loudness became worse, this is a software issue rather than hardware)

Don't use 12.5 betas because obviously you're going to run into "problems" just wait for the stable updates, I've been using the 12.5.1 global stable version and it feels exactly like version 12.0.

BIJO , 12 Aug 2021After updation (12.5.1.0) your phone is working same as before ?.. Update 12.5.2 is the worst for note 8 pro. Just dont do it. My Bluetooth isn't working. I cant do 3-finger-screenshot anymore, shareme also isn't working. File manager takes forever to display images. I Really regret this update. Thinking of downgrading to 12

RN8PRO pubg bug, 12 Aug 2021Yeah as always, but I don't think that Helio G90T can't handle android 11 because it... moreYeah for some reason MIUI Updates especially major ones end up with issues that while are not deal breaking can cause frustration.
I have a few issues where Bluetooth is now worse and you have to crank the volume to the max if you wanna Listen, It didn't ruin the quality, Just loudness became worse. I even tried with a headphone jack and loudness is a bit worse (I have My Samsung Galaxy Buds OG and Logitech G406)
And also controller support if you play games is Janky, 2 games don't pick up the game controller or they don't do it well, I contacted Feral Interactive for their wordings about it and they responded as I'm writing this but I've heard it's solvable if you factory reset your phone, I'll try turning off MIUI Optimization but i don't think it will solve anything with gamepad issue

Looking for a phone that's not so expensive? This isn't the worst choice.
It comes with good battery life (at least for the first year or so, it depends on how you use it). The camera is nothing impressive and rather mediocre despite having a 64 megapixel lens. Performance is fine but the software is not.
Xiaomi has not optimised these phones for apps like Instagram making it feel rusty and cheap to use features.
The biggest issue I have experienced in using this phone for 2 years is that its UI bugs out often and results in glitches, freezes, apps not responding and more. Recently the speaker volume despite being set to max started reducing when watching YouTube. It does heat up particularly when fast charging.
Overall it's functional to use. Its large screen can give you an immersive experience (if you have large enough hands to reach the ends). The LCD does seem inferior at times but not that much of an issue unless you're looking for luxury features in a budget phone.
Samsung's A51 is a considerable option if you're looking at this phone.

Note 8pro, 10 Aug 2021Like it or not company always take away performance of the device with updates so people feel ... moreYeah as always, but I don't think that Helio G90T can't handle android 11 because it's not a low end proc maybe miui 12.5 just had a lot of bugs like when the miui 12 came out so many users that updated there phone on the latest miui 12 experienced a lot of bugs too but time goes by the bugs are minimized. A major update always comes with a bug while time passes by, bugs minimized because of stability improvements (minor) updates. Hope that before this coming sept they release a new minor update for the bugs. Let's hope for a better and optimized miui guys! cheer up!

It's the first device I've had where a major update from a company hasn't deliberately slowed down my device to make me buy an upgrade. The worst was when I owned an iPhone 4 and updated to iOS 7 and basically made it unusable.

I bought this nov. 25 2020, I don't have any problem at all except small bugs that's it but when I updated my rn8pro to miui 12.5.2.0 (stable) global this august 4 I encountered a lot of bugs the big thing for me is when I play pubg. Before the update pubg is smooth without hiccups & render is normal but it goes back again to 55 to 60(fps), but now I experience some hiccups. In one game there's 2 to 3 times that I encounter the game freezes up to 2seconds. Hiccups while playing is random the worst I experience is when I push a squad then it freeze like 1.5 sec I almost die in the game. Hope that this will be resolved as soon as many users reported bugs about this update. Btw I tried a lot of tricks in the settings and tried to repair pubg but the hiccups wont disappear.
