A Redmi Note 8 owner has reported how their Xiaomi smartphone still works after being accidentally dropped from an eighth-floor balcony and making a splash-landing in some type of body of water. The Redmi Note 8 was able to be charged and was operational, although it was left with a “curved” display after the traumatic incident.
Those shopping for a rugged phone might not consider the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 device, but it looks like the hugely popular smartphone just got durability as another selling point to add to its already impressive list: great display, price-performance ratio, presence of a 3.5 mm jack, dual-SIM, etc. Xiaomi’s CEO, Lei Jun, has been sharing the experience one unfortunate/fortunate (depending on how you look at it) Redmi Note 8 owner had.

It appears the Redmi Note 8 was put out on a balcony by the user’s mother, but it somehow fell from its lofty perch and smashed into the ground after an eight-floor drop (potentially over 100 ft/30 m). To add insult to injury, the stricken Xiaomi smartphone apparently landed in an unspecified body of water thus undoubtedly providing a killing blow. But the user actually found the Redmi Note 8 to be still operational and capable of being charged and with the touchscreen being usable.

However, the Redmi Note 8 was left with a “curved” display after the incident and water managed to get inside the camera module. It’s more than likely the owner will have to pick up a new smartphone at some point, but after this experience it wouldn’t be surprising if they plumped for another Redmi Note 8. The Xiaomi smartphone comes with a Snapdragon 665, 6.3-inch display, tough Corning Gorilla Glass 5, and apparently a very sturdy case.

Yh.
And someone says "Corning Gorilla Glass" is not needed "Glass is Glass"

Zeroenochone:


It is, Camon 15 can only beat it in terms of battery

but not better than the Nokia 7.2

marshalcarter:

but not better than the Nokia 7.2

Yeah in terms of processor I know it's much better, 7.2 is mad
Buh I don't know about camera and protection? Is Nokia 7.2 48mp and gorilla glass 5?

Nokia dey do phones naa if only they picked up quickly we probably wouldn't have infinix or Tecno here sef
I think it'll be costlier though

I was really interested in Nokia 6.2 then before I discovered redmi note 8 and the price was around 80k on jumia
