- Was a good smartphone for the price range but last update kill it.
When I bought this smartphone in 2020 for the price was a good equipment but the few updates Xiaomi release for it had killed the smartphone. The battery start running out very quickly, now passed 3 and half years from the moment I bought it and the battery barely hangs for a half a day. The smartphone is constantly crashing the applications and in some cases the UI, meaning periods of freezing that can reach to 4 or 5 mins. And sometimes it restarts by its own when it cannot recover from the freezing. Wi-Fi sometimes disconnects by itself.
The fact to have a short storage doesn't also contribute for the good health of the smartphone in a time that the applications are each time bigger.
In general, was a very good smartphone for the price, but I can say the last OS update 2 years ago +/- killed it for good.
I'm looking for a new one, because I already had problems at an airport to show my ticket…smartphone had frozen in that precise moment, what a lucky mine. :-|Pros- Good relation price/quality
- Good screen
- Good sound
- Infrared
- Notifications light
- Good camera for the price
Cons- Battery, the 4000mAh its not enough
- Connectivty, GPS and Wi-fi some don't work well
- OS looks heavy for the hardware

View answers - Just another bang-for-the-bucks Redmi
Let's be real here - at this price point no one should expect anything more than a so-so experience with below to average marks in everything. Have been using it for the last 4 years, and it's pretty laggy if all the MIUI bloats aren't removed, which definitely shows its age. Still useable though, the Snapdragon 665 cannot punch above its weight, but light usage is handleable. A phone this cheap should not have a glass back, but there's one anyway, and this decision baffles me - why includes a glass back if it doesn't need one, especially without wireless charging? Audio and screen are definitely sub-par, same for charging. The main camera is usable, the rest of them are definitely fillers. Still, for this price, I did not regret my decision buying this device.

View answers - This phone has served me for more than 3 years, introducing me to the world of Xiaomi, one of the best budget phones I had.
The camera on this Xiaomi phone is phenomenal for a budget phone, it rivals that of many midrange smartphones if not better. The battery on the Redmi Note 8 is average, mine has wore down after more than 3 years of usage to the point that it would restart when watching a video, this has become one of my favorite budget phones.
Pros- Great Camera for its Price
- Three years of Software updates
- Gorilla Glass 5 Front and Back
Cons- 4000mah Battery
- Snapdragon 665 not good for gaming

View answers - No decepciona para nada.
Con el precio que tiene creo que es uno de los mejores teléfonos que se pueden comprar sino el mejor (siempre tomando en cuenta estos precios), no decepciona en lo absoluto y tiene un rendimiento buenísimo, aun que la batería me parece que debería de dar un poquito mas pero me imagino que con actualizaciones futuras se podrá mejorar eso.
Y la cámara es buenísima instalando la GCAM, hace unas rotos expectaculares.Pros- Rendimiento
- Sonido
- Procesador
- Diseño
- Densidad de pixeles en pantalla
Cons- Duración de batería
- Alcance wi-fi
- Sistema MIUI
- Brillo en pantalla
