2-minute Review [Positives]	Top notch build quality and premium, elegant glass-back design - the front and back are made out of glass, whereas the frame is a "high-tech polymer that's twice as strong as polycarbonate and half the weight of aluminum" - it's technically plastic, but it has a sturdy feel to it that does make it feel like aluminum in the hand The back glass has a nice matte finish - it's soft to the touch and stands out a bit from traditional glass back designs The green colorway variant is especially attractive and stylish (the black one is more sober) The front is modern and sharp too - with a teardrop notch The power button has a built-in LED light that pulses when you receive a notification, and it's equal parts subtle and cool Dedicated Google Assistant button Very good rear fingerprint sensor Overall, the phone feels like it was built with love and care, with a sturdy frame, clicky buttons, and a nice bit of heft giving it the essence of a much more expensive phone Very good, crisp, colorful, 6.3-inch IPS display Nokia's HDR PureDisplay technology, in addition to supporting native HDR content, also allows the Nokia 7.2 to natively convert SDR videos into HDR ones — resulting in a picture that's brighter and more colorful - it gives everything you watch a noticeable pop, making movies, TV shows, and YouTube clips that much more enjoyable You can also enable the Nokia 7.2's "Dynamic Mode" to have it automatically adjust your screen's color, contrast, brightness, and white balance based on what you're doing - for example, if you're reading a book in the Kindle app, your screen will become warmer as to be easier on your eyes Being part of Android One series, you get clean, simple stock Android backed by guaranteed updates Decent performance with a solid Snapdragon 660 powering the phone - day-to-day tasks, and games are usually smooth Pretty decent triple camera setup for the price bracket - a 48MP primary camera, 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 5MP depth sensor that's used for portrait shots The 48MP camera captures a lot of detail and generally showcases vibrant colors Portrait mode is pretty good too - the detail and color of the primary camera shine through, and Nokia allows you to change the effect and intensity after the fact Overall, this is a pretty decent camera phone for this price category (though it's not up to the level of the category leaders from the likes of Xiaomi, Realme) The single speaker gets loud enough and sounds fine Good battery life with a 3500 mAh battery - you will comfortably get a day of use, even with heavy usage	Very good build quality and premium glass sandwich design, similar to its predecessor, the Redmi Note 7 Pro Uses Gorilla Glass 5, front and back Good quality, bright 6.53 inch IPS panel, with very good sunlight legibility Supports HDR - a rare find in this price range MIUI is one of the more refined and smooth Android skins around, and has a number of add-on features and a lot of customizability Excellent, best-in-class performance with the powerful Helio G90T on board - that performs around the same level as last year's flagship Snapdragon 845 - the Redmi Note 8 Pro sails through anything you throw at it - this is essentially a top-end gaming phone on the cheap - and it has a significant edge in benchmarks over it's main competitor, the Realme XT, that packs the Snapdragon 712 The Note 8 Pro once again delivers some superlative camera performance for the price bracket (as the Note Pro series has done for a few years now) - especially from the main 64MP camera The quad camera setup on the rear includes a 64MP primary camera + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP depth sensor + 2MP macro lens The main 64MP sensor is versatile and delivers excellent images at day and night It is also capable of some surprisingly good 2x (digital) zoom photos eliminating the need of a cheap telephoto lens The 20MP selfie camera is also pretty good Great video recording quality overall Overall, this is now the best camera phone under INR 20k, with a slight edge over the other great camera phone of this price bracket, the Realme XT, with clearer low-light photos, and slightly sharper images Excellent headphone audio Outstanding, class-leading battery life, with a 4500mAH cell and a super-efficient chipset - you will comfortably get 2 days of use and more Supports USB PD 18W fast charging, that can charge the phone from 0 to 40% in about 30 minutes - and for a change (for the Redmi Note Pro series), now also includes a compatible fast charger in box As usual, the new leader of Xiaomi's Redmi Note series is a fantastic bang-for-the-buck phone and will compete strongly with the Realme XT - choosing between the 2 will be down to your preference - the Note 8 Pro will deliver slightly faster performance, longer battery life, and slightly better camera - on the other hand, the Realme XT will deliver a better (OLED) display, under-display fingerprint reader, and faster 20W VOOC charging - you won't go wrong with either really
2-minute Review [Negatives]	It's significantly behind the best performers in this price bracket though, with its relatively old processor Images from the 48MP camera can occasionally be overly sharpened Low light photography is average The 118-degree ultra-wide camera is a lot of fun to use and opens up new possibilities with the types of photos you can take, but similar to a lot of other phones with an ultra-wide lens, there's a noticeable decrease in image quality compared to the primary camera No fast charging support Overall, while the Nokia 7.2 is a pretty decent phone on its own, it faces some pretty tough competition in its price category at the moment from Xiaomi and Realme, which it will find tough to beat, primarily on account of its average performance and cameras - if, however it's the software experience that matters most to you, it's still worth looking at	The camera bump on the rear is on the big side Hefty for the screen size, at 200g It's slippery like glass backs tend to be, so using a case is recommended It's not as clean and minimalistic as stock Android though - in the default setup you will get both plenty of bloatware, and ads in the UI The macro and ultra-wide cameras are uninspiring - for high quality photos you will want to stick to the main camera Video recording in 1080p could have been a bit better Weak-ish mono speaker - while okay, it isn’t very loud or crisp
