Redmi Note 8

[matrix05]

Global pro is so damn bloody cheap. Either that or redmi note 7. Redmi note 8 ntg new imho.

Note 7 is not cheaper than note 8. Upgrade is no, new buy is yes. Pro with NFC & UFS is a huge improvement; but Mediatek processor shd be new to those who are familiar flashing ROM using qualcomm tools.

With coupon code and if Ur talking about global ROM yes it's cheaper. Just slight improvement over note 7

Used to be ROM flasher with root and magicdisk, but tbh I don't really see the need to flash anymore. Enjoying my redmi note 8 pro with the low price tag- just waiting for gcam support.

So you just use it with China Rom with google play installed? How is NFC and does it work in Singapore?

Actually not much diff from my xiaomi mi 9 local version
Except for additional game booster

I can use the NFC for transport and tap and pay also

How sure is the global rom?

 

[ccmheoa]

Yes it's confirmed SD the quality is visibly lower than my Huawei mateb20x that can play HD

Double check with DRM info? Confirm it's SD quality? Run the "test patterns" clip in Netflix for awhile and look at the resolution on the upper right hand corner

That's odd. So DRM info isn't that reliable then..

Got 6GB+128GB note 8 for 275 (China rom, screen protector and install Google play) from W Digital

I learnt from experience old aunty choose phone need to see touch and feel phone to see if they like so to buy for old aunty cannot go online and in the end she don’t like and need to sell away so I rather pay abit more and see where got offline physical store that is selling imported global version of note 8 pro

Correct , bottom line is if it's a China rom, Netflix 100% won't be HD, at least I haven't seen a China rom phone that can do Netflix hd.

And even if it's from drm L1 being a China only model u won't get HD also.

Unless you got a China rom that is drm L1 and there is a global rom model, then u have a chance at Netflix HD, but this scenario very unlikely

Yes global rom is the only way to go, Google backup is too good to give up, and all those notificarions on China rom phones are a bitch

[rrr2015]

can those bloatware be disabled? or you need root or adb to remove them?

you mean we can't install & use Google backup on China rom phones?

if we watch Netflix on browser, will we still be getting SD?

I saw that the China Redmi Note 8 (m1908c3je) doesn't support 4G LTE band 7. Does anyone know how important is band 7 for network coverage? And is m1908c3je the one sold by Finer?

To get hd, The phone maker has to whitelist with Netflix for the phone with widevine L1. If the phone maker doesn't do that even with widevine L1 u won't get HD.

One very good example is Asus rog 2 phone China ROM. Widevine L1 wit HD Netflix.
