Should i get Note 8 or 8T ? - Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers

Hi
I was too lazy to use google , so i thought to ask here , is there any difference when trying to install custom rooms ?
And Most important question , is this phone any good, it seems very cheap , im using Iphone 6s right now, and comparing to Iphone 6s seems a beast, 4 cameras , can I take a photo of Aliens on Moon , your opinions about this phone ?

It's a good phone...i was using a nokia 2.2 before this & i can say this phone is a beast ...u can get the 8t if u need NFC ..but 8t doesn't have a led indicator ... that's the only difference

Generally, they are the same phone, except Note 8 has a notification light, and 8T has NFC. In Europe you might probably want 8T, but generally it's your own preference.

I think Redmi Note 8T is better. This model has the NFC support. You can use any NFC emulator to emulate the access control card. But if you don't care of this, both of them are all good. Note 8 has a notification light.

Still a best phone under 15k ? or suggest better..

Hi friends,
I want to know that, Redmi note 5 pro is still worth to buy, and if not then which phone is better under 15k.
My needs by ranking:
1. Performance
2. Battery Backup
3. Camera
I have seen multiple comparisons between several phones at this price range but didn't find any better, also as i am an android developer i think future development will be better with note 5 pro what do you think?
1. Pocophone F1 (it's really as good as it is)
2. Redmi note 5 pro (the mod support is too good)

Redmi Note 5 Pro still worth because it has gained a lot of Custom Rom and developers support.
But if Nokia's lineup(5.1, 6.1) or Mi A2 price drops then they worth Buying. I also see Infinix brand came with Android One. If you love Stock android then you might also try Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1.

Upgrade from Redmi Note 5 Pro to what? (Wanna be on Xiaomi)

I actually have a Redmi Note 5 Pro, and I have no idea to what upgrade ... Was looking for Mi9 or Mi9T Pro, since I use smartphone for photo and gaming. So need atleast 855 snap and a good camera... Since 5G is coming, I don't know if now it's good to upgrade or it's better to wait

Redmi Note 8 Indian unit - Plz help - Redmi Note 8 vs Realme 3 pro

Friends - If you already got delivery from amazon or bought from mi store in India. Please help with following details:
1) LCD Panel - Tianma or something else. https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-8/help/redmi-note-8-tianma-lcd-panel-t3991425
2) 48 MB - Samsung GM1 or GM2
3) LT FDD and TDD bands supported. 4G+ working? Now is call quality, signal strength, speed?
4) If anyone of you have a realme 3 pro or 5 pro handy, try to compare on Point 3 above.
5) Speaker quality?
6) Fingerprint speed. If you have used RN7pro or realme 3 pro or Realme 5 pro, it may seem slow. That is what I understood from some video reviews on youtube.
Plz help. Nitpicking but very confused between Redmi Note 8 and Realme 3 pro. Ordered both at same price.
Will accept one and cancel another order.
RN8 pros over RM3Pro - Type C, Led Notification, Cameras?, Ir Blaster, MiUI (not a fan, but better than color os)
RM3Pro over RN8 - Processor (Huge difference. SD710 is way ahead. Better ISP, Better core and speed, Better AI, Better LTE (X15). SD665 pubg options are very low ), Better call and network quality (I heard), Vooc Charger.
What do you suggest.
Someone help here with some insights please.
Go with realme 3 pro and flash custom rom processor is important in long run also you can get better software experience with custom Roms what else can one want?

Custom Rom support on 3 pro is not that good. Still no official and stable roms. Multiple bugs. I have researched. I have been using custom roms for 5 years now Moto G1 and then Lenovo Z2 plus.
I consoled myself to adjust with Color OS also as SD 710 at this price is gr8 deal but color os specially on realme 3 pro has serious standby and battery drain issues it seems.
Except processor everything seems better on RN8.
SD665 is in a way downgrade from SD660 than an upgrade.

If I were you I would have gone with redmi note 7 pro which is at 12k (Sony imx 586 is beast) now but if you don't want that then you should wait for redmi note 9 as their odd no series is much better like redmi note 3,5,7 etc
And if you can't wait for it then gsi's can be installed on realme 3 pro and currently rom development hasn't taken pace for redmi note 8 too so I think little wait should be better.
One more thing realme launches devices more frequently and realme 6 box has came in leaks so whenever realme 6 pro launches you can get realme 5 pro in 10k (which will hardly take 6 months)
Conclusion : little patience and wait will be better if you don't need new device urgently

It is urgent. Sold my Lenovo Z2 plus on cashify. Battery would have died any day.
Using a freind's old phone temporarily.
Ordered both Realme 3 pro and Redmi note 8 at 9k. Have to settle with one of these for now.
Did lot of research. Not a single satisfactory phone in midrange without any flaws
So decided to go for less price for now and upgrade later after 1 year maybe.
Then go with realme 3 pro if can bear color os or can flash gsi (phusson sir's gsi's are pretty stable though) . And realme is working on more stock like rom too this is more bang for buck now. Faster charging and faster processor are the things you will notice in day to day life more rather than type c port and for camera gcam will do the job on both so you don't have to worry about cameras as both have capable sensors too

i am having Indian Unit.
1. IT has Tianama Panel
2.GM1 sensor
3.It supports all Indian 4G bands. And It has 4G+ (Jio) getting good net speed, signal strength and call quality is good, but ear piece is not that loud so u ill get bit low voice while u r on crowd place.
4. If u doesnt bother about 4G+ then u can go with realme 3 Pro. Their Color OS keep on getting improvements.
5. Loudspeaker is good but on max volume u ill get some distortions. 80% volume is good
6.FP is good no issues.
I am using realme 5 pro.. Color os is Not that bad.. and on debloting its very smooth. And use nova.. U will have good experiemce withsd 710.. And also cameras are good .Gcam improves it.. Also charging speed will definitely gives peace of mind. I like vooc charger.. And reception is better than my previous galaxy devices.. Internet speeds too..

planing to update to Redmi Note 8

Guys im planing to update Note 8 from loving note 5pro.. So what you think guys? Is there anyone who update to Note 8.. Please leave your comments..
My buddy just got the note 8t but the battery is worse? Camera is great though. I just feel like the overall quality is not up to par with the note 5. The specs are also pretty similar.
Not a good update from Redmi Note 5 Pro.
Go for AMOLED Display
Go for devices launched with Android 10 out of the box
Don't upgrade this I've gone back to using the note 5.

Upgrade to any Mi9 or Mi A3. They have better SoCs, similar or better battery and a good AMOLED screen. Also, modding community is really great for those devices.
If you wanna save money wait for a significant dropping of Redmi 8T, if you want to do a step forward look at Mi 9T.

Deciding between Note 8 and Note 8T

Hi guys,
I have the option of buying either the Redmi Note 8 or Note 8T at basically the same price.
Can you help me decide which one is best, taking in consideration the community support and rom updates for each? I ask because a friend told me that the Note 8 actually had better support.
Thank you

Note 8 is better if you ask me, lot of roms are unified, but some roms are 8 only. That would be enough, plus I think that 8 has notification led, 8T does not.
Your friend already gave you good advice, I am stuck with 8T because my mobile provider had only that model, otherwise I would go with 8 only and never PRO, as you are already aware of I think.

I am a noob in all of this, so I am yet to truly try to customise my phone, roms, etc. But I see myself doing it in the future and thus why it may be important to have a phone with an active community support.
Right now, I am trying to figure out what is the best option to buy in this price range:
Realme 6i (4GB ram, 128Gb rom)= 163€
Note 8 = 150 euros
Note 8 T = 156euros
Note 8T has the NFC which is kind of useful (and seems like a faster charger). Other than that, it seems that the Note 8 is more appealing to some due to the mentioned custom roms and Led notifications.
I would really appreciate if folks could just nudge me in the right way with these options.
Cheers
Other element to take into account :
Note 8 global version doesn't have LTE BAND B28 700Mhz
Note 8 international version and Note 8T have LTE BAND B28 700Mhz
if you don't need NFC get note8
the NFC chip consume battery
