Reviews of expensive smartphones are always more interesting than those of budget smartphones. There are more features to describe and every innovation in them is a cause for admiration. However, budget models have their advantages. On accounting for most sales. Consumers buy low-end phones like hot cakes.
Design
The Redmi 8 is almost indistinguishable in size from its predecessor, the Redmi 7. The difference is symbolic. The rear of the new device is glossy and friendly to the touch. The gradient of colors is beautiful when the light falls on the body. This effect is achieved no worse than the one we get from the flagship devices on the market. Xiaomi has chosen plastic instead of glass. If you have a habit of carrying your phone with a case, you will not feel the difference in the material.

The screen of the Redmi 8 is protected with Gorilla Glass 5. Its surface is strong and will save it from innocent falls. However, the protective glass will not protect you from small scratches. So, you can take care of raising the level of protection. For example, additional protective glass!
Productivity
The Redmi 8 processor is old. It is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 439. For comparison, the predecessor had a more powerful chip Snapdragon 632.
According to Redmi, the company made this choice because the Snapdragon 439 's performance is comparable to the once popular snapdragon 625 processor.
Redmi 8 is available in two versions: 3/32 GB or 4/64 GB memory. We recommend that you choose the version with more memory. It is more expensive, but in time you will be grateful for your choice.

If you read news on the Internet, handle it with a calculator and just have conversations, you can opt for the basic version.
Scanner

Autonomous work
The smartphone has received a battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh. Quite an impressive figure for this class of phones. If you are one of the people who play games on your phone, count on a faster charge. With standard use, you will need to recharge your Redmi 8 once every three days.
