Editorial report
Xiaomi Redmi 8A technical sheet
The Xiaomi Redmi 8A suits buyers after a simple phone with a large battery; its main compromise is a dim display. Peak brightness of 400 nits is among the weakest of phones launched around the same time, while its 270 ppi is worse than most. The 6.22-inch IPS LCD has a resolution of 720 × 1520 px. Its 60 Hz refresh rate, by contrast, is average for its time.
Performance is worse than most phones of its time. The AnTuTu v8 result of 89,901 comes from a modest setup with a Snapdragon 439 and 4 GB of RAM. Its 64 GB of storage is below average, although storage is expandable. For photography, the 1/2.55-inch sensor is below average; the camera has 12 MP resolution and records video at 1080p at 30 fps.
The 5000 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of its time. Its 18 W fast charging is average. Overall, the Redmi 8A is worse than most phones launched around the same time, with a NeoScore of 3.8. It is a basic choice for buyers who put battery capacity ahead of a brighter, sharper display and stronger performance.
