David09, 01 Nov 2019Hi guys, I want to buy this phone. Can anyone share your experience of battery life and came... moreLasting 4 days without gaming.Really unexpected long battery life, opposite of all speaking that MediaTek are sucking battery too fast and have a short battery life.That was is in the past looks like.That's why there is 4500mA/h, not 4000mA/h as regular phones.

I have been using several Redmi smartphones for the past 4 years and I'm a die hard Redmi & MIUI fan. This is my honest opinion and I'm not offending them but requesting for improvements.
I bought the Redmi Note 8 Pro(6GB/128GB) during the first flash sale itself from Amazon.in and I was pretty impressed initially and still the same apart from a few concerns that I have.
I will point out some pros & cons. Lets start with 'pros'
.
Pros:
1. Even if it is not a AMOLED screen, the display has good & deep contrast and bright colours when comparing it to other IPS LCD smartphones.
2. Touch sensitivity & response is awesome.
3. User interface is insanely fast & smooth.
4. The flash is way too bright
5. Dark mode looks good.
6. In-hand it look & feels like a premium smartphone
7. Gaming experience is awesome. It feels milky smooth. Higher frame rates. Impressive graphics.
Cons: (some of them might be a bug and it could be resolved with updates, but I'm not sure)
1. I didn't find the Macro camera to be impressive & useful. Some images reminded me of those pictures taken with VGA cameras. Pictures taken using primary camera with 2x digial zoom looks way better in terms of colours & details. Try taking the same image in both these ways and you can find the difference. If it could be improved with updates, then Xiaomi, please take this seriously. Because it very disappointing, especially when Camera is one of the major striking element of this smartphone.
2. The selfie camera is only average. Its not great compared to other selfie cameras. I have used POCO F1 and it has better front camera (both smartphones are in same price bracket, now)
2. I don't know whats happening with my touch sometimes, rarely, some ghost touches are happening.
3. I don't find it overheating while intense gaming with high graphics and high frame rates, but it is getting warm. What I didn't like is, the phone is getting warm within 5 minutes of gaming like we have been gaming for 30 minutes. After gaming for 1-2 hours, I would say there is heating but definitely not overheating.
4. I usually watch YouTube videos at 480p resolution because it offers relatively good video quality and only consumes less data. While watching YouTube videos at 1080p and 720p, it feels great. But the problem arises when we watch videos at 480p resolution. It actually feels like you are watching at 240p resolution; it is that bad. Details are missing, I don't why. I haven't faced this issue in any other mobile phones. I felt that, it might be because of the bigger screen. ( like a 6 inch made display stretched to 6.5 inch display)
.
.
These are some of the opinions and I hope it would be improved with software updates.
Thank You

Hi guys,
I want to buy this phone.
Can anyone share your experience of battery life and camera quality.
How many hours of screen on time/use battery can last?
How good is camera comparing to other flagships (80% of iPhone 11 Pro, Pixel phones)?

Regarding the Amoled, I will not craze bout it since it tend to burn in unspecific and unprecedented time, especially for cheaper products. Please share if you have bad issue with Mediatek, however judging from your short review there is nothing in common, right :)

A good buy in reasonably prices category (I use as it my secondary phone). Build quality is excellent, display is decent and bright for this class (would've been better if it was AMOLED). Anyway, camera is pretty decent too, photos in daylight and good light are alright, low light quality is what one can expect in this range, and night mode really helps. Phone doesn't too hot in long sessions of PUBG etc. (on high). SOT is very reasonable too, I haven't pushed it that far, but after nearly 5 hours, battery drain was about 45%. All in all a good budget phone IMHO.

Till date I didn’t face any problem (including heating issue). Front camera is brilliant but back camera pictures have issue but I’m sure after updating issue will solve.

Josh, 29 Oct 2019What's the max expandable memory limitation? I read somewhere it's 512gb but gsmarena is sayin... moreThere's no such thing as hard limitation for the microSD. Manufacturers just list the max microSD storage based on what size is economically viable for end users. You can buy 1TB microSD, format it to exFAT using Windows, and insert it to your phone. It will work.

This phone is gorgeous! (Forest green) Amazing quality for the price. I bought the Global Rom and live in the US. I'm on ATT in Kansas and it perfoms incredibly on the LTE bands here. I always look for the best value, and this phone has surpassed my expectations. It lasts 2 days easy on standard use, NEVER gets hot, and is just insanely fast on any app. Fingerprint sensor is fast and easy to acclamate to the position. Until 5g is widespread here, this will be my daily driver. Thank you Xioami!!!!
