Hey what’s up, Sami here!
Probably Again I’m the first one to unbox the just released Redmi Note 8 Pro on YouTube
I credit all of this to my content partners YIMING Tech and iFeng Tech from China,
please make sure to subscribe to their YouTube channels, links are in the description.
Now get back to the topic
In this video, I’m gonna basically cover everything about it like unboxing, camera performance, gaming test etc
So sit tight and let’s go.
As you’ve probably notice this is a new packaging for Redmi phone, it adopts this gradient red color
I like it, how about you guys?
On the back of the box, we see some highlights of the Redmi Note 8 Pro:
like 64MP quad camera, liquid cooling gaming chipset, 4500mah battery and NFC those.
Open the box, the first layer is some paper work, a phone case and a pin as usual,
the second layer is the phone, lets just put aside, gonna check later.
We have a type-c cable, an 18 watt charger, that’s all.
Let's check out the design. The Redmi Note 8 Pro adopts 6.53” 2k FHD+ LCD waterdrop full screen,
feels just like Redmi Note 7, but the screen to body ratio has improved a lot when comparing to its predecessor
The top and bottom bezel is much narrower as you can see, I would say looks almost the same as Mi 9 or Mi A3.
Move to the back, it sports the 5th generation of Corning Gorilla Glass, should be much more durable.
It still uses the back fingerprint scanner, but it integrated to the camera lens! What a big surprise!
You can also see 64MP text under the camera and a Redmi logo on the back, nothing more.
I like this elegant back, especially the light reflection effect when you slightly shake it.
Again, it still has 3.5mm headphone jack, thumbs up for that as not so many factories are doing that now.
The top keeps the infrared blaster as most users strongly ask for
Also, NFC is available on this handset, you can use it as a door access etc.
The phone adopts MTK Helio G90T processor clocked at 2.05GHz
What I got is the 8gigs of RAM + 128gigs of ROM version and here are all the specs about the phone,
you can check it out.
The official info says the G90T has the same performance as Snapdragon 730 and kirin 810,
Is that true? Let's do some gaming test.
The first game is PUBG, here in the settings u can either choose HDR High Resolution & Full Frame combination
or Smooth and Extreme Full Frame combo, what I choose now is the latter.
It feels smooth, no lag at all (Gaming test ends at 3:23)
You can even switch between the two combos during the gaming,
when in HDR High Resolution and Full Frame mode, it feels a bit unsmooth,
but can’t complain that when considering the price
I would say the performance is almost the same as SnapDragon 710.
I’ve used a game frame recording APP to record the whole gaming,
you can see the average FPS is 58, the average fluctuation is 1.95 frame, not bad at all!
Next is the car racing game, I set all the specs to the highest as you can see here. [Gaming test ends at 4:37]
The whole gaming experience I would say amazing, it’s beyond my expectation for this phone
Definitely the gaming experience is not as good as those flagship phones, but already fantastic.
The gigantic 4500mah battery and liquid cooling system of this chipset on the phone even contributes to a better experience
I’ve been playing the game straight for half an hour and the heat control is acceptable.
The camera setup features a 64MP Samsung GW1 sensor (f/1.7 aperture, 1.6µm pixels)
8MP ultra wide-angle camera, 2MP macro camera (2cm focal distance) and 2MP depth sensor.
The front is a 20MP camera supports AI beauty.
I’ll just put all the photo samples here you can check it out.
The camera performance is not bad at all and has improved comparing to its predecessor because
first it can produce the 64MP photos directly from the sensor, not by some interpolated algorithms those,
second is it has a really big size of aperture and single pixel. [Photo sample ends at 6:19]
