The Redmi Note 8 Pro comes with a quad camera setup with a 64-megapixel primary camera. It has a Samsung ISOCELL GW1 sensor, an 8-megapixel ultrawide angle lens, a 2-megapixel depth sensor and a 2-megapixel macro lens.

On the front, the Redmi Note 8 Pro sports a 20-megapixel camera housed in the waterdrop notch.
