Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro made the Redmi Note series feel premium: the world's first 64MP-camera smartphone, the debut of the gaming-focused Helio G90T, liquid cooling, and the series' biggest battery yet. In 2026 it is one of the most capable used phones under Rs. 45,000 in Pakistan. This guide covers its verified specs, how it compares with the standard Note 8, and the heat, battery, and camera checks for buying used.

Design and Build Quality

The easiest Redmi of its generation to recognise: four cameras in a vertical centre-back strip with the fingerprint sensor below, instead of the Note 8's corner module. Gorilla Glass 5 front and back over a plastic frame, with splash-resistant sealing marketed with an IP52-style rating in some regions. At 200 g it is noticeably hefty — the price of the 4,500mAh battery and liquid-cooling chamber. On used units, check the camera strip's glass for scratches and the frame edges for dents, common after years of drops on a phone this heavy.

Display Features

The 6.53-inch IPS LCD (1080 x 2340, about 395 ppi) with HDR, 500-nit brightness, Gorilla Glass 5, and a teardrop notch for the 20MP camera is the largest display in the Note 8 family — a genuinely good panel for video with punchy LCD contrast. No high refresh rate. Used-market inspection as ever: solid-colour tests for bleed and dead pixels, a full-surface touch check, and a check that the proximity sensor behaves during calls.

Processor and Performance

The Helio G90T was the 2019 star: two 2.05 GHz Cortex-A76 cores, six 2.0 GHz A55 cores, Mali-G76 MC4 graphics, cooled by a liquid-cooling chamber — a Redmi first. Far faster than the Snapdragon 665 in the standard Note 8, and still the most capable chip in this nine-model slice: daily use is effortless in 2026 and popular games run at medium settings. The trade-off is heat and thirst under load. On a used unit, run a game or benchmark for ten minutes and watch for abnormal overheating or shutdowns.

RAM and Storage

6GB or 8GB LPDDR4X RAM with 64GB or 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage — faster than the eMMC in the standard Note 8, visible in app loading. The 6GB + 128GB configuration is the sweet spot and most common used; 8GB is a nice bonus. microSDXC up to 256GB supported. The store listing does not specify the variant — confirm it before paying, and verify storage capacity in settings, since refurbished units occasionally misreport.

Camera Features

The 64MP Samsung GW1 (1/1.72-inch, f/1.8, EIS) made this the world's first 64MP phone and remains the best camera hardware in this slice: detailed 16MP pixel-binned shots, full 64MP mode, 4K@30 with gyro-EIS, plus 8MP ultrawide, 2MP macro, and 2MP depth. Daylight detail and dynamic range are excellent for the price; night mode is decent but dated. The 20MP front camera beats the 13MP units elsewhere in the family. Test every lens in the shop.

Battery and Charging

The 4,500mAh battery was the family's largest, charging at 18W with broad protocol support (QC 3.0/4+, USB PD, MediaTek Pump Express). On a healthy cell it lasted a full day even with the power-hungry G90T. Used units tell the usual story: seven-year-old cells lose capacity, and this phone's heat accelerates wear. Check for swelling — a lifting back panel means reject the phone immediately — test drain over 15–20 minutes, and ask about replacement history. No wireless charging.

Software and Updates

Launched on Android 9 with MIUI 10 and updated through Android 11 / MIUI 12.5 — a longer official run than most siblings. In 2026 updates have ended: an excellent secondary, media, or gaming phone, but not the right primary device for banking. A factory reset before purchase is essential — it clears the previous owner's data and removes years of MIUI clutter, making a real difference to responsiveness.

Connectivity and Additional Features

The best-connected phone in the slice: dual 4G VoLTE, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC (unlike the standard Note 8), GPS with GLONASS, GALILEO and BDS, IR blaster, FM radio with recording, 3.5mm jack, and USB-C. The rear fingerprint sensor is quick. NFC is a genuine differentiator for contactless payments. On a used unit, test both SIM slots, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC (with a card or tag if possible), GPS lock, and the headphone jack.

Variants, Colours and Availability

Announced 29 August 2019 and released in September, the Note 8 Pro launched officially in Pakistan the same year — widely sold through official channels and a local gaming favourite. Configurations include 6GB + 64GB, 6GB + 128GB, and 8GB + 128GB. Launch colours included green, white, and grey/black finishes with market-specific naming, hence colours are unconfirmed in the spec table. Long discontinued, available only used in 2026. Verify the model in settings — the standard Note 8 looks similar from the front but is a very different phone.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

The Redmi Note 8 Pro is listed at Rs. 40,000 at Zohaan Mobile Gallery (store product page, verified 2026-10-11). The store's listed price matches the older catalog import, so confirm the latest price with the store before buying. In the used market, the 6GB + 128GB variant in good condition commands the strongest price.

PTA: PTA approval applies per device and IMEI. Compliant used units are relatively common since the phone launched officially in Pakistan, but patch-approved and non-compliant units also circulate. Before paying, send the IMEI to 8484 and confirm "Compliant" status. How to check PTA approval.

Main Advantages and Limitations

Advantages:

• Helio G90T with liquid cooling — strongest performer here, still viable for gaming
• 64MP Samsung GW1 — the best camera hardware of the nine
• 4,500mAh battery, NFC, UFS 2.1 storage
• Huge used-market presence: parts and repairs are easy

Limitations:

• 200 g and runs warm — the G90T is thirsty by 2026 standards
• No 5G, no high-refresh display, security updates ended
• Battery wear and heat-related aging are the main used-unit risks

Who Should Consider This Phone?

Good fit: mobile gamers on a budget, photography enthusiasts wanting the best camera under Rs. 45,000 used, and anyone wanting the most powerful Note 8-family phone. The 6GB + 128GB variant is the one to buy.

Look elsewhere if: you want 5G, a high-refresh screen, or years of updates — or prefer a lighter, cooler phone. Compare in the Xiaomi collection or all mobiles.
