The Redmi Note 8 isn’t perfect but it packs quite a punch for its price point. As our Editor-at-large, Emman Tortoza says in his review, “Despite all that however, I’d still say that if you need a phone that’s good at a a lot of things under the PhP10,000 price point, this one should be on your list.”
