Well I am a redmi user and, I love using redmi devices. I have used a lot of xiomi devices. When you look at note 8 its similar to the rest of the redmi series like note 7 . After using it, personally I dont feel or find any difference in the phone when compared to a note 7. Well the working is fine, its smooth for gaming as well. The one thing I am not satisfied is with its camera. Although it offers a cam of 48 mp it doesnt live up to my expectations. I feel like note 7 pro 's cam is better than that. And yes there is not much difference in low light as well. Its probably the worst defect of all redmi devices. They lack cameras that can work well or capture perfect images in low light. I hope this is helpful
