Nokia 2.3 vs Redmi 8: The Battle of Budget Smartphones
The budget segment is buzzing with lots of great devices and it is really difficult for the smartphone buyers to choose a perfect smartphone for them. If you view the segment, there are lots of options and out of them, Nokia 2.3 seems to be the latest one.
However, the smartphone seems to get a tough competition from the already running Redmi 8 smartphone which has slightly better specs at almost similar price. However, if you talk about quality, Redmi is almost nothing in comparison to Nokia.
So which one of the smartphones do you think is better in the budget segment?
Here is a comparative analysis of the smartphones for you to decide the better one between the two:
