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.

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!
