class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Xiaomi_Redmi_8_Review\"><\/span>Xiaomi Redmi 8 Review<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How much does the Redmi 8 cost? You\u2019ll be able to pick it up for around Rs.25,000 island-wide. Considering its price, I think its features are really good. When it first released, it was more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The handset looks and feels good. There is a metallic effect on its rear\u2013 you\u2019d think it was actually made from metal. This isn\u2019t the case; its build is plastic. The plastic on it doesn\u2019t feel cheap, thankfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It weighs&nbsp;<strong>188 grams<\/strong>. We\u2019re fans of mobiles with weight, as they feel the most premium. The device is not thin. Its width along with the weight make it feel a bit brick-like. The following are its dimensions:&nbsp;<strong>156.5 mm x 75.4 mm x 9.4 mm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Redmi comes with expandable storage. You\u2019ll have to buy the microSD card separately of course. Not only will you find a microSD slot, but there would be a 3.5 mm headphone jack too. It also has a fingerprint sensor. It is on its rear and is easy to reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mobile is big. Its screen stretches&nbsp;<strong>6.22 inches<\/strong>&nbsp;across. Its sides were curved well. Your palms won\u2019t feel sore when holding the handset for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What colours can you pick it up in? Onyx Black, Ruby Red, Sapphire Blue and Phantom Red. The metallic effect wouldn\u2019t be on the Onyx Black choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The panel on its front is&nbsp;<strong>IPS LCD<\/strong>. If you\u2019ve read our reviews before, you\u2019d know that it\u2019s not the most vibrant. However, the Redmi device is affordable, so it\u2019s no surprise that its display isn\u2019t the most vibrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its display is somewhat bright, though. It is 400 nits \u2013 500 is considered the gold standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As its front is so big, immersing in whatever you\u2019re watching would be easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Redmi 8 isn\u2019t sharp. Its&nbsp;<strong>720 x 1520-pixel resolution<\/strong>&nbsp;isn\u2019t enough for its 6.22-inch screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, there\u2019s not much bezel action going on. Its screen-to-body ratio is an impressive&nbsp;<strong>81.8%.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t worry about scratching its front. Xiaomi placed&nbsp;<strong>Gorilla Glass 5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of the box, it runs Android 9. You\u2019ll be able to upgrade its systems to Android 10. Yes, updating it to Android 11 can be done as well. The OS would be run through MIUI \u2013 Xiaomi\u2019s proprietary UI. It\u2019s customizable. But its heavy themes can be sluggish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m not a fan of the chipset housed. It is the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualcomm.com\/products\/snapdragon-439-mobile-platform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Snapdragon 439<\/strong>.<\/a>&nbsp;It\u2019s super basic, so don\u2019t get heavy handed. The RAM it comes with is&nbsp;<strong>3 or 4 GB.<\/strong>&nbsp;If you pick the 4 GB option up, its systems would be the snappiest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How much ROM do you get? You\u2019ll be able to pick it up with&nbsp;<strong>32 or 64 GB<\/strong>&nbsp;of space. Whichever option you choose, you\u2019ll be able to expand its storage. Just remember that you\u2019ll have to buy the microSD card separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a large&nbsp;<strong>5,000 mAh<\/strong>&nbsp;battery inside. The phone\u2019s width is thick, so this was expected. The Redmi 8 would last over a day. You can extend this with its battery saving modes of course. Know that you can\u2019t remove its battery, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To charge the device, an&nbsp;<strong>18 W fast charger<\/strong>&nbsp;would have to be used. It would have to be plugged inside of its USB-C port. It takes over 2 hours to fully charge. If you\u2019re expecting&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocket-lint.com\/phones\/news\/146874-reverse-wireless-charging-explained-which-phones\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reverse charging<\/a>, or even wireless charging, get ready to be disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the deal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its primary and selfie cameras aren\u2019t the best. Let\u2019s talk about the set-up on its rear first. It consists a 12 MP primary lens along with a 2 MP secondar depth sensor. The photographs would be far from colour accurate, especially in low-light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of low-light shots, they would also be grainy. The handset comes with an LED sensor to help with taking pictures in dim settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There isn\u2019t an LED sensor on its front. Its selfie camera houses a single shooter, which is an 8 MP lens. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color\" style=\"color:#eb7400\"><strong>Related Reading<br><\/strong><a
