Review on Xiaomi Redmi 8 4/64 GB Global Smartphone, Ruby Red by Aashit Shandilya ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Average purchase, there is something to complain about.

The camera seemed terrible to me. I looked at a lot of reviews before buying, they all showed how good it is, in fact - in good daylight, the camera seems to be excellent. But then I realized that nowhere except on the street during the day you can’t get good photos. In a room with poor lighting, in a room with good lighting - the camera, to put it mildly, is not very good, it distorts colors strongly (dim, red on the camera is pale orange), it shoots well under the lamp, glare, everything is visible. As for the battery, this was another not very pleasant surprise for me. Although everyone writes about the battery in its merits, I have it in its shortcomings. 5000 mAh is enough for me (before it was only 3 thousand - enough for a day, there was meizu 5s) I thought it would work for two days, at least one and a half. In fact, active use is enough for a day, a month later (at the beginning it could have been more) I watched a video on YouTube, removed everything that discharges the phone faster - it's still a day. At night, the first month did not lose even a percentage, now 1-2 max. If the phone is almost not touched, it should be enough for two days. There was a day when I went to FB a couple of times, called a couple of times - it was discharged in 1.5 days. If they wrote 3000 mAh, I would not expect more than a day from him, but he does not pull for 5 (there is a lenovo vibe, there is also 5 thousand, he is 5 years old and that is enough for two days). I didn’t really like the local gallery and music, but as I understand it, this is a common problem for redmi, and not for this model. In music, advertising, the gallery is not very convenient. Redmi applications do not interfere at all, there are no ads about them (rarely, if only). In general, if as a dialer - excellent, little use of applications - excellent, but if very active - then a day, you can live, but not very joyfully. You can use it, and if as a second phone, it will be generally excellent.

Pros
  • It sits perfectly in the hand, a case is included, a beautiful back panel, a large screen, games work well, it is convenient to watch videos, price, a USB Type-C cable.
Cons
  • Camera, battery.
