Xiaomi devices are one of the most promising competitors in the smartphone market when it comes to the price to specifications ratio. The OEM offers pretty good specifications, features, nice design, and more. But not all the time, the price to specifications ratio will come in handy when it comes to the performance. It can be processor, RAM, storage read/write speed, storage space, cameras, etc. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro came with a 64MP quad rear camera setup in 2019. Still, the device camera lacks somewhere in terms of the clarity, exposure level, night mode, bokeh effect, and more. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro gets 84 points on DxOMark which is quite low.
Talking about the device camera specifications, the handset has a 64+8+2+2MP rear cameras along with PDAF, HDR, Panorama, etc. The primary 64MP is a wide-angle lens (f/1.9), an 8MP is an ultrawide lens (f/2.2), a 2MP depth sensor (f/2.4), and a 2MP dedicated macro camera (f/2.4).
