The Redmi Note 8 Pro was the clear star of the show, featuring a quad 64MP camera setup, a decently performing MediaTek Helio G90T processor, and an extensive feature set. Redmi also announced a regular “non-Pro” Note 8, of course. This one seemed like more of an iterative update than anything as it features modest upgrades over its predecessor. It packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor, a quad-camera setup with a main 48MP sensor, and other minor improvements.

Some like it as Bixby can actually do download stock firmware things that Google Assistant cannot (since it’s baked deeper into One UI) but there’s been an issue for those who want to use the button for something else. Many chose to use apps including bxActions or Tasker to get the job done. But with the release of the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, and the Galaxy S10e they finally started to allow it. Sadly, it could not be remapped to the Google Assistant (or any other virtual assistant).

Factory images come directly from the device manufacturers, and many don’t release them. Google and Motorola are among the major companies that do.
