Product Review

I got this device on 1st November 1 week before our famous Jagadhatri Puja in Chandannagar and this was my best purchase till date.

Design

 First of all this thing just glows. The very first moment I saw this phone I was literally drooling. The back and froth Gorilla Glass back gives this an unmatched premium feeling in the hand.

So classy so elegant yet so eye-catching and charming. At least 5-6 strangers have asked me about this device. This phone is sure a looker.

Camera 

The camera can give competition to phones that are 2-3x more expensive than this.

This phone with GCam 7 just blows the competition out of the water, nothing even comes close. The GCam 7 works on this device so flawless without any lags or stutters whatsoever it's pure magic just see the samples, straight out of the camera.

The selfies of this device are even better than iPhone 7, I compared them side by side and the selfies from this one have better dynamic range, better contrast and better depth effect. Night Sight to works like a charm

GCam7+ Redmi Note 8=♥️🔥

The addition of wide-angle and macro is just cherry on the top. Wide Angle takes decent shots in good lighting conditions and you can take videos with the macro cam as well. Both do the job pretty well. I will give the GCam 7 link at the end🤗

Display

The FullHD+ screen, yes a FullHD+ screen in a sub 10K phone, the screen is bright, vibrant produce great colour and contrasts and watching YouTube videos and movies makes the experience so much better.

Performance

665 is a very well rounded SoC it's running very well, without any lags or hiccups experienced till date and PUBG runs pretty smooth without any lags and stutters whatsoever and this doesn't heat up at all.

Battery and Charging 

I have experienced about 1 and 1/2 days of battery backup with moderate usage and thanks to the 18W fast Charge it charges up 0-80 in around 75mins.

Speaker

 The down-firing speaker is very loud and crisp you can literally feel air pumping out of the speaker in a bass-heavy song and the speaker has a self-cleaning feature too. The earpiece is loud crisp and clear too. This phone media-consuming to much better.

Extra Features:-

IR blaster ✔️

Gorilla Glass 5 back and front great hand feel, premium built and scratch-resistant✔️

Self-cleaning speaker✔️

Wireless FM✔️

P2i coating✔️

USB C✔️

Fast 18W charger in the box✔️

Cons

 There are ads in the UI but a mere 5mins of tweaking and voila you will never see an ad in your device

Very very difficult to get hold off one in these flash sales.

Overall this phone is redefining what a budget phone can do, from Great built quality with Gorilla Glass 5 on both front and back, with the downright best camera in this segment, to the presence of great speakers, to the presence of P2i water-resistant coating which gives great peace of mind to the presence of IR blaster, Wireless FM to the presence of USB C this phone is a perfect from every department no phone even comes close.

If your budget is within Rs 12000 this is the best buy you can buy just go for it✌️

Fair warning

After using the GCam 7 on this device you will have a difficult time switching to any other phone even 2-3x more expensive cause the picture quality produced by this phone is just lit.
