Total
I think the comparison between Redmi Note 8 Pro and RedmiNote 8 once again proves that the Pro version is almost completely capable of eclipsing the basic version (which was created largely to make the purchasing choice easier). Definitely worth taking Redmi Note 8 Pro! Even if you initially tuned in to the usual eight — think, it will be much more difficult to sell on the secondary market than its older brother.
