Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Review – May 2023 Archive

Welcome to the May 2023 roundup on India Daily Trends. This month we took a close look at the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8, a budget‑friendly phone that promises flagship‑level features. Below you’ll find everything we discovered during our hands‑on testing, from speed to battery stamina.

Performance and Everyday Use

The Redmi Note 8 runs on a Snapdragon 665 processor paired with up to 4 GB of RAM. In daily tasks—browsing, social media, streaming—it feels snappy. Apps open in seconds and multitasking isn’t a struggle. We ran a few benchmark apps and saw scores that sit comfortably in the mid‑range tier, meaning the phone can handle most games at medium settings without lag.

One thing we liked is the UI smoothness. Xiaomi’s MIUI skin adds a few extra gestures, but it doesn’t feel bloated. Battery‑saving modes work well, extending screen‑on time when you need it. The device stays cool during a typical day, and only gets warm during extended gaming sessions, which is normal for phones in this price segment.

Camera, Display and Battery Life

The camera setup includes a 48 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultra‑wide lens, and a 2 MP macro shooter. Daylight photos are bright, with decent detail and accurate colors. In low‑light situations the 48 MP sensor does its best, but you’ll notice some noise—nothing shocking for a $200 phone.

The 6.3‑inch IPS LCD display delivers a Full HD+ resolution. Colors look vivid, and the 19.5 : 9 aspect ratio makes videos feel cinematic. Viewing angles are wide enough for group watching, and the screen brightness reaches a comfortable level even outdoors.

Battery capacity sits at 4,000 mAh. After a full charge, we got around 8‑9 hours of mixed usage before needing a top‑up. With moderate use, the phone can comfortably stretch to a full day, and the 10‑W charger restores enough power for a quick break. The battery health stays stable after a week of testing.

Putting it all together, the Redmi Note 8 offers a solid mix of performance, photography, and display quality for its price point. If you’re hunting for a reliable smartphone that doesn’t break the bank, this model checks most of the boxes.
