One of the strong bets of Xiaomi is found in the Xiaomi Redmi 8. This terminal has some strengths, such as the double camera or the fingerprint reader, to increase security.

Enough powerfull for the most of people

It has the same Snapdragon 439 of the Redmi 8A. However, it has more RAM, which translates into more storage and without increasing the price.

The price, in relation to the characteristics of the Xiaomi Redmi 8, keeps it as one of the best in the market.

Great startup camera

Its dual rear camera has 12 megapixels, an aperture of f/1.8 and a Sony sensor. In addition, it incorporates another 2 megapixel sensor helping measuring the depth. As for the front camera, it maintains the 8 megapixels of the previous model.

A great battery

What most attracts the attention of this terminal is its battery: it has l 5 000 mAh and the possibility of fast charging of 18 W.

A coloured smartphone

Black, blue and red are the official colors with which Xiaomi has presented this terminal.

As for the price of the Xiaomi Redmi 8 it varies depending on the specs you choose. There are two models, the 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage one , and the superior one with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

For greater satisfaction, the terminal has P2i splash protection, so we gain confidence and security in its use, ¡¡done for childs!!. The charger connector is USB C, following the line with the latest models that have been released the other competitors.

In the line of the rest of the brand's terminals, this Xiaomi Redmi 8 is made of plastic. However, the firm has endowed it with a beautiful shiny back cover, which gives the feeling of holding a glass one. It is light and soft to the touch.

His physical appearance is unbeatable. It has rounded corners, as well as a slight curvature in the body to increase support. This means that taking it is comfortable and gives a feeling of firmness. Its weight is 188 grams, perfect for transport.

Due to its plastic finish the dirt is less noticeable than in others. A positive aspect is that the cameras barely protrude from the deck, so they are less likely to end up scratching or getting dirty.

On the front we find a 6.22-inch IPS LCD screen with HD + resolution. The maximum brightness offers a correct visualization, even if we are under sunlight.

  • 2019 bang for the buck budget phone

    Got it for about 112USD in a local ecommerce platform flash sale back in December 12, 2019. The performance of the processor, 3GB RAM and 32GB internal are good enough for almost all basic mobile tasks except graphic heavy mobile games. Dual sim mobile signals, dedicated microSD, wifi, bluetooth, GPS, IR, front/rear cameras, microphone, and speakers are all working OK. The wireless FM does work without headphones unlike the Redmi Note 8 which still asks for a headphone to be plugged in the 3.5mm jack. The big battery takes a while to drain so it will last a full day of moderate usage like a champ!

    Pros
    • Mostly good internal specs
    • Big battery with fast charging support
    • Type C usb
    Cons
    • No NFC
    • Splash resistant but no IP rating
    • No LED notification
    • 8.1

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
