Editorial report
Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (2021) 4 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (2021) suits buyers looking for a straightforward Android phone with a sharp display; its main trade-offs are lower-than-most battery capacity and performance. This version pairs 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage. The phone is also sold with 4 GB / 128 GB, giving buyers who need more room for apps and files another configuration to consider.
The 6.3″ display has 409 ppi, a higher pixel density than most phones of its time, while its 60 Hz refresh rate is lower than most. Performance is also worse than most; the processor is a MediaTek Helio G85. Its 4000 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones of its time, while 18 W fast charging is typical. The camera has a resolution of 48 MP, and its overall camera specifications are typical for phones of its time.
Connectivity includes Dual Nano-SIM, Bluetooth 5.2, dual-band Wi-Fi and USB Type-C. There is also a 3.5 mm audio jack and FM radio. The camera supports 4K video and 120 fps slow motion. With a NeoScore of 4.4, it is an option for buyers who prioritize a high-density display and everyday features, and can accept less battery capacity and weaker-than-most performance.
