Bearing to the name and brand of Xiaomi, this latest addition in the note series again proves to be a good successor. The Note 8 Pro ranging from around 14000 to 17000 manages to give the best features and specifications that it could offer with such a price tag.
I have personally been using the phone now for two months and honestly the objective that I had towards buying this phone is justified. My primary requirement was adequate processor for intense gaming and the mediatek does justice to the needs. Certain lags could be observed but they are very minute to be considered here. Minimal heat could be felt but heavy games gift such heat most of the times. Such is manageable if compared to other phones by Xiaomi.
Also the 4500 mah battery of the phone proves efficient during gaming and entertainment purpose. Around 6-7 hours on an average was available if all heavy draining activities were conducted( especially during lockdown) . Else it easily provided with a one day battery life in normal circumstamces.
It was camera quality that went below my expectations. The numbers and specifications on paper anyway seemed too good to be true, the reality thus proved the same. The camera is not as good as you might expect it to be. Night mode, potrait mode or macro mode are just average and dont provide any extra efficiency despite a great camera setup. However we shouldnt expect too much in that amount. The front camera was satisfactory as the selfies are of much better quality and clarity. No issues were observed in front camera as such.
There are various inbuilt features and add ons in the operating system that came as a surprise like the dark mode.
All being expressed, I feel that it is a great phone for heavy use. Also considering the price, you could squeeze every penny out of it. One could possibly wait and go for note 9 pro however you may not regret buying this as well.
