The phone has a quad-camera setup on the rear with a physical fingerprint sensor. While in-screen fingerprint sensors are in vouge, physical sensor as still super quick and I don’t really mind this trade-off.
The company boasted a lot about the 64-megapixel camera at the briefing and at the launch. However, unless you’re taking large print outs or zooming into the photo, you won’t notice a difference between a pixel-binned 16-megapixel photo or even a 48-megapixel photo.
The Redmi Note 8 Pro will go head-to-head with the Realme XT which also sports a 64-megapixel camera.
Xiaomi is bringing the Redmi Note 8 to India. It comes with a quad-camera setup with a 48MP main shooter, 8 MP ultrawide lens, 2MP macro lens and 2MP depth helper. Other key features include a 6.3-inch FHD+ display, 4,000 mAh battery with 18W fast charger in the box and a dedicated microSD slot.
Like the Note 8 Pro, the Note 8 comes with a dual glass build and has a fingerprint reader on the back. Under the hood, we have the Snapdragon 665 chipset which is paired with 6 GB RAM and up to 128GB storage.
