Overview Xiaomi Redmi 8
Android version and market relevance
The company Xiaomi in October 2019 officially announced its new smartphone Xiaomi Redmi 8 in the series of mobile devices Xiaomi Redmi. In our subjective opinion, this year one of the important parameters for smartphones has become support for 5G networks, and this new model, unfortunately, it did not receive such an opportunity and will not be able to work in 5G networks. Therefore, if this is important to you, then go to our page in the catalog where all 5G smartphones are assembled.
“Out of the box” on the new smartphone installed Android 9 Pie, which did not receive any version updates. And besides, it is important to note immediately that the model Xiaomi Redmi 8 supports two SIM cards (view all smartphones with 2 sim cards in the catalog).
Screen, body and battery
6.22-inch IPS LCD touchscreen occupies almost the entire area of the front panel of the smartphone Xiaomi Redmi 8 and has an almost invisible drop-like notch at the top border to adjust a selfie camera. It also stands out from other models on the market with its thin bezels between the outer edges of the body and the screen. An edge-to-edge screen covers from 80% to 90% of the front panel.. Body thickness 9.4 mm puts the battery in it in capacity 5 000 mAh. As a result, these three important characteristics give us such an idea of the device — huge smartphone with very thick case and very capacious battery.
This model could become a flip smartphone and get into our catalog on a separate page, where all phones with flexible screens are collected. Unfortunately, this did not happen. And therefore, if you are interested in smartphones with such top-end characteristics, we advise you to look at them in our catalog and get a deeper understanding in which direction the entire mobile electronics industry is moving. Perhaps, in a couple of years, every second person on the planet will have such flip smartphones.
Main camera and selfie camera
The main camera has one module: 12 MP with a regular lens + 2 MP Depth sensor and, as usual, it is located on the back of the smartphone. The frontcamera at Xiaomi Redmi 8 has one module: 8 MP with a regular lens. And this, of course, is not much. There are smartphones with a good selfie-camera. This model has a front camera as usual at the top of the screen, like 99.9% of all smartphones. But, if this makes you bored, then we can offer smartphones with pop-up front camera. In these models, the front camera is located inside the body and goes up only when you activate the front camera mode. It sounds interesting, but how convenient it is and how long this mechanism will work is not yet clear.
Processor and Internal Memory
And write a few words about the performance of Xiaomi Redmi 8. Of course, the very first thing that will be discussed is the processor. The model received a 8-core processor Snapdragon 439.
The second performance characteristic in our opinion is the amount of RAM. The Xiaomi Redmi 8 has 3 installed on the RAM, but you can choose the version with 4 GB of RAM, to make the smartphone work even faster.
The built-in flash memory of this model has the volume 32 GB, but you can choose the version with 64 GB. The manufacturer did not forget about the support of memory cards in the smartphone. Here you can install a card microSDXC.
Price for Xiaomi Redmi 8: buy or not to buy?
$145 is the price for Xiaomi Redmi 8 at the start of sales. For this money you get a smartphone with a fast processor, a huge touch screen, with an ordinary camera for photos and video, and with a conventional front camera. And with such characteristics, the smartphone got into the price segment “Affordable smartphones from $100 to $200”, where you can choose any other similar model for a same price.
And how important is the battery capacity in your smartphone? Here is the case that it is in Xiaomi Redmi 8 that a very powerful battery is installed. And, if you need a smartphone with a very long mode of operation from one battery charge, then we recommend looking at this model, or similar smartphones with a powerful battery.
Xiaomi Redmi 8 will be available after the beginning of official sales. We always recommend that you look at the smartphone before you buy it to make sure that it fits you in all respects — screen size, case materials and build quality, speed and smoothness of the interface, photo and video quality, etc. After you choose a model, then you already look at the different offers from the sellers — you can buy it on the Internet or in the offline electronics supermarket. Buy where you prefer, where there are stocks and discounts, and where the seller guarantees the service of the device under warranty.
