In our gaming comparison of the Redmi Note 8 Pro, we said, “The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro is indeed a better performer than its present competition, as revealed by benchmarks and gaming. But it's not without flaws that could become a burden in the long term. The MediaTek Helio G90T SoC is fast but suffers from poor thermal management. It also draws more power by keeping all the cores fired up at all times during game. This, however, lets the phone push the frame rates and improve stability in high-end games. Now performance is just half the story when it comes to the Redmi Note Pro devices. The camera is another half and that we are presently testing out. Stay tuned for a detailed camera comparison.
