The device bestows a 6.53-inch IPS LCD screen with a tiny water-drop notch at the top of the display. The screen offers FHD+ resolution and is protected by the 2.5D curved Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The gorgeous FHD+ display on the Redmi Note 8 Pro takes full advantage of the intutive lockscreen service- Glance.

You can customize the Glance lockscreen service to view content from a variety of interesting categories such as sports, entertainment, travel, fitness, technology and many more. Glance presents the multimedia content in rich format (text, animation, videos, etc.) that makes the Redmi Note 8 Pro's display livelier than before for multimedia consumption.

The quad-camera setup at the back of the phone is another highlight of the Redmi Note 8 Pro. It has a 64MP primary sensor accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide angle, 2MP macro, and a 2MP depth sensor. The phone offers a 20MP selfie camera with support for face unlock.

A 4,500 mAh battery runs the show with support for 27W Sonic charing. However, the retail box does not include a 27W charger and it does cost Rs. 999 and will be available online on Amazon and Mi.com.

Should You Buy?

If you are planning to get the Redmi Note 8 Pro, then the newly launched Electric Blue edition does look good with a gradient back panel. However, I personally fancy the Gamma Green variant of the Redmi Note 8 Pro.
