Price last checked: 5 Dec 2021. Confirm current price before buying.
Xiaomi Redmi 8 price in Malaysia starts from RM488, and the standout spec here is battery life. A 5000mAh cell with 18W fast charging means this phone can comfortably last a full day of use, even with the Snapdragon 439 chipset handling everyday tasks rather than heavy gaming.
The 6.22-inch IPS LCD display runs at 720 x 1520 pixels, which is modest by today's standards but gets the job done for browsing and video. Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and a splash-resistant build add a bit of durability you don't always see at this price. You get either 3GB RAM with 32GB storage or 4GB with 64GB, plus a dedicated microSD slot if you need more room.
On the camera side, there's a 12MP main sensor paired with a 2MP depth lens, and an 8MP front camera for selfies. A rear fingerprint sensor, USB Type-C, and infrared blaster round out a spec sheet that covers the basics without cutting every corner.
