I saw $180 was cheapest in carousell gobal rom.

Maybe bargain a bit can get some discount.

I got 2 questions regarding xiaomi note 8 pro. Wondering if anyone can clarify

1) does the phone comes with plastic preinstalled screen protector? It appears mine don't

2) does the phone get very hot at times?

Thank you

1. No screen protector. But mine comes with a silicone rubber case with side engraved Designed by Xiaomi. I'm using and pretty good feel. Screen protector you need to buy yourself.

2. I don't use it to play games...only watch YouTube occasionally. No issue with heat.

I only buy from shoppee Xiaomi official store. The handset is shipout from China...but is loaded w global ROM. Can work out of the box.
In fact during setup, can see already set as Singapore.

Would like to share a little info on this.

This online store is only in charge of fulfilment. Once the set arrives and there are problem out of the box, you go straight to Funan. If the set is truly faulty, ask them for replacement, don't accept repairs. You are entitle to do exchange. Only issue is that you have to wait as Funan don't keep stock.

What’s the bug fixes and any new features?

The "What's new" say:

Optimization: Increased system stability
Optimization: Reduced system lag

PS One of my app which used to be laggy is now running smoothly under the new update.

Hi All,

Is Redmi Note 8 pro the most value for money NFC phone? I am planning to replace my nearly 3.5 yr old Redmi Note 4X haha. I have some qoo10 Qmoney, so ideally would like to buy using qoo10, but if there is big discount in Shopee, dont mind also. Please suggest! Thanks!
