It's better to get something with non-Helio processor. If you're looking at low price range then either Snapdragon 680, 695, 4 gen 2 or any Mediatek Dimensity is way better thermally

I will continue to use it for phone calls and will buy a Poco C65 And save my data from the old anything else I do with my tablet and back up a memory stick if everything goes downhill😏

rickylim123, 12 Apr 2024what bro? really? li-poly is advanced version of li-ion and more durable and longer life/usage... moreSeveral articles I found say otherwise. They said that Li-Ion is has longer life span (more charge cycles), while Li-Po has higher density at the cost of shorter life-span. I even have a good evidence of that. For comparison, my old Samsung Galaxy J5 is almost 7 years and the battery still goes strong for 3000mAh even though it likely has over 1000 charge cycles. Obviously, not comparing it to 4500mAh, but still. There is no sign of battery bulging at all and I always just slow charged it through night. But, I still don't use it actively. I like the size compared to nowadays modern phones, but it's not worth it to daily drive an outdated android version.
Overall, Redmi Note 8 Pro was good for it's time. The biggest caveat this phone had though is that Helio G90T, while a decent processor after a few years it started to overheat like trash. 45 degrees while watching a youtube video in app, the same in browser. Just unacceptable. Best ones in the budget range right now are Redmi Note 12 Pro (if you want headphone jack) and Samsung Galaxy A34 (if you want SD card slot). Both of these phones have Dimensity 1080 which outperforms Helio G90T with ease in terms of performance and efficiency. Dimensity 1080 never overheats when not needed and when doing demanding task it goes to 37.5 degrees on note 12 pro and 41 degrees max on galaxy a34 and is still comfortable to hold. Poco X6 and Redmi Note 13 Pro are also good with the newest SD 7 gen 2! Poco X6 Pro though is just top notch, worth getting, though out of the mentioned price range, but still relatively close if you want a phone that will last you longer.

Super phone in it's time. I used it very roughly for long time without cover and it still not got any scratches.

Even though it's durable and served me well, remember. I have read that it has Li-Po battery, which has less life span cycles than Li-Ion. Although, it's kind of weird. My Redmi Note 8 Pro has over 1100 charge cycles now and the battery capacity is still quite acceptable. However, this device reaching almost 5 years in August 2024 since manufacturing, I would be having safety concerns since on batteries that said it's lifespan is 5 years. I'm not gonna bother changing it because of glass back. So, it served me well, better to retire it now than the battery would explode out of sudden in my pocket or something and Li-Po battery explosions ain't fun at all.

I bought this phone in December 2019, more than 4 years and its working fine, the heating issue in the sunlight remains the same from the start, apart from faster battery drainage, I play mobile legends game a lot on this, for like 3 hours... daily almost but still this phone is working is admirable. Thinking to retire it now but a great phone, bought it in 42K PKR. been GREAT for money. Outshined itself for running for 4 years straight and more

Anonymous, 06 Nov 2023Mine to.maybe I Change the battery but I will keep it..fast as the first dayUpdates made it better. MIUI 12.5 works best. I had some hickups with older software, but now, it's running for days without a problem.
I bought it over 3 years ago and I can't decide what I should replace it with. It was on a discount then in December for $190. There's nothing new within this price range worth buying today.
