2-minute Review [Positives]	Attractive, well-built, modern looking design, similar to the Redmi 8/8A, especially from the front (thought it's not quite as slick as the Redmi Note 8 Pro) Good looking mirrored gradient finish at the back Decent ergonomics - reaching all corners with one thumb isn't too difficult Fingerprint and face recognition are both quick Good Full-HD+ 6.3 inches screen - it's crisp and bright MIUI is one of the more refined, smooth, and feature-rich custom Android UIs around Good, solid performance powered by the Snapdragon 665 - day-to-day use and gameplay are both smooth Very good overall camera performance, for the price bracket (arguably the best at this price) The rear setup includes a quad-camera setup (very similar to the Realme 5) - a 48-megapixel primary camera + 8-megapixel wide-angle camera + 2-megapixel macro camera + 2-megapixel depth sensor The primary 48-megapixel camera on the Redmi Note 8 gives crisp, bright shots with very good detail - especially, close ups came out looking great Portrait mode is very good, as well Decent 13MP selfie camera, especially during daylight Xiaomi has done a good job with the single speaker - voices in audio/music came out crisp and distinct Good battery life with a 4000mAh battery - you will get about 1.5 days of moderate use 18W fast charging support (and an 18W charger is included) - the phones goes from zero to 37 percent in half an hour, and 81 percent in one hour The Redmi Note 8 is another good budget choice from Xiaomi - you get enough power for everyday tasks, a strong battery, and a crisp screen - the cameras are also good in favourable conditions - the overall package is excellent value	Fresh, sophisticated and premium-looking rear design - it features a pattern of vertical pinstripes down the rear that seem to shift from side to side when you move the phone around under the light Front looks slick with a dewdrop notch at the top It's relatively easy to use and live with because of its tall and narrow footprint The fingerprint reader is on the back and performs well Large 6.5-inch HD+ display - it's crisp enough for gaming and video streaming Software is one area where Realme has taken a big leap, the Realme UI is easy to use - it is also packed with features such as Game Space, Digital Wellbeing, Focus Mode, Dark Mode, and Riding Mode among others Good performance from the new MediaTek G80 chipset (similar to the Snapdragon 712) - the phone smoothly handles day-to-day task with ease and heavy games like PUBG Mobile run reasonably well Decent quad-camera setup at the back - a 48MP primary camera, a 8MP ultra-wide, a 2MP macro and a 2MP depth sensor Shots with primary camera, under bright sunlight have lots of detail and exposures are well balanced - it works well for casual photography The ultra-wide-angle camera delivers fairly decent shots and captures more of the scene in the frame, as long as there is good lighting The portrait mode works well with well defined subjects and natural looking bokeh The selfie camera is decent - it also takes quite good portraits Excellent battery life with the 5000 mAh battery - it easily lasts for 2 days of moderate use Decent fast charging with the supplied 18W charger - it fills the phone's battery to the brim in about 2 hours The Narzo 10 is a very strong contender if your priority is performance and battery life, and for its target audience, which are gamers, these are the things that matter
2-minute Review [Negatives]	The chin is on the thick side, and includes the Redmi brand logo Significant camera bump Like all glossy backs, it would be a challenge to keep this finish free of smudges and fingerprints (thankfully there is a cover that's included in the box) The volume buttons are a bit high, and not super easy to reach It continues to pack a lot of preloaded bloatware though, and spammy notifications and ads (which can be disabled, but it's not the simplest process) Gaming performance is not as good as 2 key competitors however - the Realme 5 and Vivo U10 (that pack the same processor), due to the higher resolution display, which puts more strain on the GPU The wide-angle and macro cameras, while giving you some interesting framing options, are average in quality Low light performance is average, as expected	A bit thick at 9mm and relatively hefty at 199g Competition offers better displays with FHD+ resolution The display isn't particularly bright and could be a problem to use in direct sunlight There are still a number of pre-loaded apps however - though most of these can thankfully be uninstalled Low-light photography is just average, as expected from a budget phone Macros are blotchy and rough, with the limited resolution, this camera should be used more for fun than anything else However, if you can spend a little more, you might want to consider the Realme 6 and the Redmi Note 9 Pro instead, as they offer much better performance and cameras
