Smartphone Reviews, Redmi Note 8 2021

Smartphone Reviews, Redmi Note 8 2021-There is no official release yet as to how much the phone will be. The phone was announced last 25th of May. So most likely the phone itself is not yet available everywhere. All right going back. The box is very clean and clean looking in front. We only got a glimpse of what the phone look like in the color that we selected. When we purchased one on both sides. It got a text where it says, Redmi Note 8 2021 with easy access to the Google apps, you use most That could be the reason why xiaomi sent this particular device.  Xiaomi is pertaining to and on the bottom where the details about the phone, like the IMEI numbers manufacturers address, and the things included in the Box. Which we will talk about in a second. Let's pop this open.

Let's put this aside first. Here's the phone in front. You got the sticker. That gives you brief information about the specs for the device.

At the back, it has this for vertical camera, set up front and back are made of Corning Gorilla Glass 5, which makes the texture more premium when you're holding it and it can endure. Most daily scratches and want show and dance at all. Now, let's take this thing off.

 And power it on while waiting for the phone to boot up. It has three available colors. The one we have is the Neptune blue. The other color variants are the Moonlight White and the space track. In the box, we have a charging brick in the USBC cable.

In this other box. We got the Sim ejector tool the warranty and quick start guides in a clear phone case. Which is a perfect addition. Since most new phones nowadays. It's really hard to get the case. Of course, first thing. We need to set the language.

The region except some terms and condition. The usual I should say. Nothing special in setting this up compared to other smartphones once everything is complete it loads up. Actually, that took a while.

So while waiting, let's talk specs. The screen size is six point three inches. It has 80 1.7% screen to body ratio display resolution is 1080 by two thousand, three hundred forty pixels, front and back are made of glass. The screen is made up of Corning Gorilla, Glass. 5 in the brightness can reach up to 500 nits.

On the edge of the display. It has an LED indicator speaker. A drop Notch. Front facing camera.

 Let's talk about the front camera. It has a 13 megapixel and supports HDR. And it can shoot 1080p video quality at 30fps.

 On top, you have an IR blaster on the right. You got your volume rockers and the power button. On the left side, just the Sim and SD card. Tray. Speaking of the Sim and SD card the 2021 redmi Note 8 has a hybrid trade that works with two SIM and SD card in one tray. And at the bottom you got the audio jack, the mic USB port and the speaker.

At the back, we got the four camera setup. We got the Forty eight megapixel main wide lens and 8 megapixel Ultra wide and 2 megapixel macro into mega pixel depth sensor. It has a maximum resolution of 1080p at either 30 or 120 FPS. I know it's kind of disappointing since it does not shoot at least 2K or 4K, video still taking photos and videos are crisp. No subtle colors, but when you zoom in those pictures, That's where you will. Notice the difference when it comes to the quality.

As of making this video, Go, there's no official price yet from xiaomi. But our best guess is that it will be under 200 dollars still like its predecessor when it launched in 2019. And yes, for some of you who don't know. There is a redmi note 8 2019 will discuss the difference later in the video. So for under $200, not back.

Now, let's talk about what powers this phone app. It has a four thousand milliamp hours. That should last you for an entire day. We will be doing an in-depth review of this device. Once we already have enough time playing with it and we will talk about its battery life, gaming performance, and both video and photo quality. Sustaita tune.

Under the hood. It has an internal storage of 128 gigabytes. Do you have an option to get the 64 gigabytes? One? Both variants have four gigabytes of RAM. If you want to save more. Once this is out, they offer a three gigabytes Ram with 64 gigabytes of storage. Talking about the processor. It has The mediatek, Helio. G85 and this has Android 11 OS right out of the box with me UI 12

Five for connectivity. This has the Bluetooth 5.2 and it can connect to either two point four or five gigahertz Wi-Fi. Earlier. I mentioned, it has an IR blaster. So that means it has infrared built in but no NFC and no wireless charging.

Here's a screenshot from GSM Arena about the differences with the 2019 and 2020 one versions major differences. First, the RAM on the 2019 version, you have an option to go with 6 Gigabytes instead of just for another notable difference is the processor. The previous generation has the Qualcomm Snapdragon. 665 talking about speed Qualcomm. Snapdragon is 2.7 percent faster than the Helio. G85.

And last difference that we notice is the video quality from its rear camera, the 2019 version can shoot 4K.

 So what are our first impressions if our guess is correct under $200 with the specs that xiaomi built to this thing. It's well worth it. It feels premium. It's not that light in terms of weight. So it didn't feel cheap at all with glossy finish at the back with glass. It feels great holding in your hand. Bear in mind though that glass covering like the one we have in the redmi Note 8, and most likely other phones in that aspect can easily catch fingerprints and smudges for those who's about to ask. Yes, it has Google Play pre-built.

The messaging and phone app pre-installed are from Google. Those are two of the Google apps that is baked into this phone. Like what says in the box, once you power it on all Google apps that you likely need are already in here.

So, there you go. That's the unboxing in the first impression we have on this device. Drop all the question you have so we can address those in our full review? Again, this is art from few texts later. Thanks for watching.
