Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 price in Malaysia starts from RM539, and for that you get a Snapdragon 665 chipset paired with up to 4GB RAM and 128GB storage, expandable further via microSD. The 6.3-inch IPS LCD display runs at 1080 x 2340 resolution, sharp enough for everyday browsing and video at around 409 ppi. Android 9.0 with MIUI 10 runs the show underneath.

On the back sits a quad camera setup: a 48MP main sensor with PDAF, an 8MP ultrawide, plus 2MP macro and depth sensors for background blur shots. The 13MP front camera handles selfies. A 4000 mAh battery with 18W fast charging should get most users through a full day without hunting for a charger.

Built with Gorilla Glass 5 on both front and back, it still keeps a 3.5mm headphone jack and an IR blaster, both features that had already started disappearing from other phones in this range by 2019.
