    Mega.., 07 Jan 2025This phone is better than its "successor" , the realme 9i. Yeah but after update in my realme 8i front camera stopped working. So it's not that great even my 5 years old Redmi note 8 is better than this one which even has a wide angle camera and ultra slow motion

        This phone is awesome, the best affordable phone I ever had. Ips display quality is great, very colorful and comfortable to watch, I've never found another Ips so good like that one.

I custom ROMmed my 8i and it's really good on LineageOS 20 (RUI 4 vendor). Way better than any other ROM including stock.

                        After using it after 1 year and 6 months it's a bad phone if you update it to android 12. It overheats even when using social media up to 42°c also it has a lots of bugs and glitches even when there's a software update

                          Great phone. Gaming performance is really good (on RUI 2). It kept bricking itself so I had to custom ROM it. The phone worked really well on RUI 2, but it had some issues. (e.g. only 60hz on some apps, can't disable haptic feedback, fingerprint timeout, DT2W sucks)
                          Overall I'll give this phone a 7/10.

                            Well, after 2 years of using I can say that it is still a decent phone, average gaming performance (better than most), work, personal use

                            I'm not sure if this happens to anyone but, I noticed that the 5g WIFI connection seems to deteriorate.

                            from 1GBPS Download speed it now only has 30-35 MBPS, compared it side by side with my nieces phone. Probably a hardware issue

                              Decent phone. Camera is good but a bit slow a times. Display is great. Batter life and charging time are good too. Plastic frame scratches too easily. The design however is really nice - much better looking device than the Redmis. The most annoying things though are lack of FM radio, lack of stereo speakers, no notification LED.
