The difference lies in the screen size Redmi Note 8 Pro which has a slightly larger screen size at 6.53 inches with Gorilla Glass 5.

Kitchens: The Choice Between Snapdragon and MediaTek
Well, I think many of you have been waiting for this comparison, gang, so Jaka wants to go straight to the point just.

When compared to AnTuTu 7, Redmi Note 8 Pro scores 224.759 points compared to realme 5 Pro which scores 182.765 points.
For gaming problems, Redmi Note 8 Pro is equipped with technology LiquidCool which makes this HP not hot quickly which can really help you push rank.
But it's worth noting that MediaTek is more secretive than Qualcomm and usually doesn't exist custom ROM available for HP using MediaTek.
Indeed, this is not a problem that is too important but for those of you who like to fiddle with HP, this can be taken into consideration.
Camera: How Important Is 64MP?
Both of these cellphones have 4 cameras with the same configuration, gang, namely the main camera, ultrawide, camera macro, and depth sensor.
The difference only lies in the number of megapixels of the main camera where the realme 5 Pro uses the camera 48MP and Redmi Note 8 Pro using camera 64MP.
It looks a lot different, gang, but in the real world, these two cellphones use technology pixel binning where 4 pixels are merged into one.
So, actually realme 5 Pro default capture photo 12MP while the Redmi Note 8 Pro captures the photos 16MP.
Of course, the Redmi Note 8 Pro can capture more details, gang, because it has a higher pixel count but the quality is not much different.
It should be noted that these two HPs also have night mode on the camera that allows users to capture beautiful photos at night.
For the front camera, the Redmi Note 8 Pro also has a higher pixel count, 20MP compared 16MP owned by realme 5 Pro.

Meanwhile, Redmi Note 8 Pro only has fast charging 18W which takes about 120 minutes to charge from 0 to full.
Features: How Important Is NFC to You?
In short, gang, features NFC can only be found on the Redmi Note 8 Pro but you can rest easy, because both already have headphone jack 3.5 mm, gang.
Like the majority of cellphones now, these two cellphones are also equipped with a USB type C terminal.
For additional memory, both already have a micro SD slot but the Redmi Note 8 Pro uses a SIM 2 slot so you have to choose between dual SIM or additional memory.
Price: Both Start at IDR 3 Million, Gang!
For the types available in Indonesia, both start at the same price but have slightly different configurations, gang.
For realme 5 Pro, it has two different configurations, which are set at IDR 2,999,000 (4GB + 128GB) and IDR 3,699,000 (8GB + 128 GB).
While the Redmi Note 8 Pro has two different configurations which are set at Rp. 2,999,000 (6+64GB) and Rp. 3,399,000 (6GB+128GB).
According to Jaka, based on the specifications above, these two cellphones are very attractive choices for 3 million Android phones, gang!
Conclusion: Which is more appropriate for a loan, realme 5 Pro or Redmi Note 8 Pro?
If we talk about rough numbers, the Redmi Note 8 Pro is still a bit above, gang, because it has a more powerful chipset and camera for the same price.
In addition, the body of the Redmi Note 8 Pro is wrapped with Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and back, which is certainly better than the realme 5 Pro which still uses plastic.
If Jaka has to choose, it looks like he really has to go to the Redmi Note 8 Pro but here there is no wrong choice, gang.
