56 ANDROID ADVISOR • ISSUE 71
It’s good to see the Xiaomi still
has a 3.5mm headphone jack
colour temperature is easily tweaked in the settings.
Thankfully this is a bright screen (claimed 500 nits),
because it’s less easy to do something about that.
We found the rear fingerprint sensor worked
quite satisfactorily, waking and unlocking the phone
with a single touch of the index finger. Though the
sensor itself is rather small, it is place exactly where
you expect to find it, and therefore quickly becomes
second nature to use. The only real gripe we have with
this implementation is that it is more difficult to unlock
when sitting on a desk, rather than in your hand.
Performance
The octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor
inside the Redmi Note 8T is a capable chip, but not a
fast one. It does, however, provide an improvement
over the Redmi Note 7’s Snapdragon 660.
