Both of them weighs 209 grams (7.4 oz). Redmi Note 8, Note 8T and Note 8 2021 have flat back while Redmi Note 8 Pro has back with curved sides. The front and back are made of Gorilla Glass 5, and the frame is made of plastic. The bezels, which are always painted in black, are small (except the chin at the bottom), however, the phone does wobble because of a camera bump raising the phone. It is also splash-proof and has a P2i water-repellent coating. There is a back-mounted fingerprint sensor in this phone.[11]
