Comparison review
The iPhone 8 has a score of 85, which is a little bit better than the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S's 79 general score.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S takes much better videos and photos than Apple iPhone 8, because although it has worse 30 fps video frame rate, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition and a F1.8 camera aperture, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S also counts with a lot more megapixels camera in the back and a way larger back camera sensor taking more light and vivid colors.

Although iPhone 8 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy the iPhone 8, but if you don't you can save some dollars and get the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S, letting go a couple specs and features.
