Now this situation is perfect for comparison and requires so. On one hand, Realme XT comes with a Snapdragon 712, but the Redmi Note 8 Pro comes with the MediaTek G90T. Xiaomi has also confirmed that the Redmi Note 8 Pro will come to India within 2 months. So, let’s begin with Realme XT vs Redmi Note 8 Pro!

Realme XT vs Redmi Note 8 Pro- Specs Compared:
Realme XT vs Redmi Note 8 Pro- Display:
The Redmi Note 8 Pro packs a 6.53-inch full-HD+ (1080×2340 pixels) screen with 19.5:9 aspect ratio, waterdrop-style notch and Gorilla Glass 5 on both front and back. The Realme XT packs a smaller 6.40-inch full-HD+ Super AMOLED screen with a waterdrop-style notch and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on top. The Redmi Note 8 Pro has a rear fingerprint sensor, but the Realme XT has an in-display fingerprint sensor. As you might have guessed, Redmi Note 8 Pro still has an IPS LCD display. Although it might not be a bad thing, it might be for someone who wants to upgrade from an AMOLED phone already. So, as far as Realme XT vs Redmi Note 8 Pro is concerned, I will give the lead to Realme XT for the AMOLED solution.
Realme XT vs Redmi Note 8 Pro- Processor:
In terms of the processor, the Realme XT is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 SoC, while Xiaomi has included brand new MediaTek Helio G90T processor on the Redmi Note 8 Pro. Both the phones offer up to 8GB RAM and up to 128GB of onboard storage. The Realme XT comes with a dedicated microSD card slot that offers up to 256GB of expandable memory. In comparison, the Redmi Note 8 Pro also offers expandable memory support up to 256GB, but as always, it is a hybrid solution and we can’t see any signs of those getting changed in the Indian variant! In the Realme XT vs Redmi Note 8 Pro specs comparison, it won’t be a fair judgment to declare any of them better as we’re yet to the G90T processor in any phone. However, on paper, G90T looks quite promising!
Realme XT vs Redmi Note 8 Pro- Optics:
Though the comparison follows Realme XT vs Redmi Noe 8 Pro, they sport identical quad-cameras housing 64-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL Bright GW1 sensor with f/1.8 aperture. To understand how these cameras work, check out our article on pixel binning. The quad-camera setup on both the phones also includes an 8MP wide-angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, the Redmi Note 8 Pro houses a 20MP camera, whereas Realme XT offers a 16MP shooter.
Realme XT vs Redmi Note 8 Pro- Battery:
Additionally, the Redmi Note 8 Pro buyers will get a 4,500mAh battery with support for 18W fast charge, with a bundled 18W charger inside the box. The Realme XT has a smaller 4,000mAh battery with support 20W VOOC 3.0 fast charging which needs no further explanation as we’ve seen it in Realme 3 Pro in action already.
They both sport 3.5mm headphone jacks, Type-C USB ports, and all necessary sensors. One thing to notice is that Realme XT is a bit thinner and lighter, pro’ly because of the lower battery. With 183grams, Realme XT is still a hefty phone, but with 199grams, Redmi Note 8 Pro is a bit heavier.
