Xiaomi Redmi Note 8/8T review

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 and 8T are two awesome midrangers. They offer identical features, build and screen quality, battery life, performance, and camera image quality but the Note 8 is sold in Asia, while the 8T is for the EU market. We've decided to review the two together.

GSM Arena Gets Underrated for their Content And their guidelines In which they provide to consumers on the right Devices to purchase.

One big difference to the Redmi Note 8T is it has a larger chin than its Asian counterpart and the 8T has an additional color the Mineral Gray similar to the Redmi Note 8 pro grey color

Using this in the U.S. on At&T and I would say this and cricket are the only companies you should use this with since it supports almost all of the bands needed for good service, I've only hit a dead zone one time and that was in a random neighborhood. Using TMobile will cause frustration as this is missing most of the LTE bands to get the service you would need to not get frustrated with constantly using 4g or 3g+ instead of the much needed LTE.

what's with modern headphone jacks being distorted... I was introduced to the same problem with my current phone, the smart V8. It's a terrible trend. Why even waste space and money putting a 3.5mm headphone port in the phone if it's not fit for purpose? my early moto G was the last phone I bough where the 3.5mm jack actually functioned as expected. and it's totally put me off this phone. This was never a thing on anything that had a headphone jack pre 2015
