No difference... It's a bad translation from English.

Unfortunately, nothing is planned yet, but we will announce this here as soon as this should be the case.

No, this phone does not have Google services. Unfortunately we no longer sell it, it is no longer part of our range.

USB OTG checker says yes. I do not use it myself.

When I bought the phone, I would have thought that something like this was mentioned in the digitec description, but I'm no longer sure. In any case, I haven't noticed any limitations. I'm very happy with it, battery life is great, it runs smoothly, only the camera is described as far too good in the product description and is actually much worse compared to other phones. But for the price of less than CHF 250, you can't necessarily expect more.

No, of course that's not true. You can set up hotspots with it, just like with any other current Android smartphone🙂

Have you already deactivated the advertising services? Under Settings, More settings, at the bottom click on Security, then on Deactivate advertising services.

It's the global version. But I would buy the Note 9 Pro right away.

Sorry, meant Wi-Fi hotspot of course

The Face ID on the Redmi Note 8 Pro is not the best, currently it should not be used. Unfortunately, it is only a 2D Face ID. In theory, you can unlock your phone with a photo of you. Therefore, I would not recommend Face ID per se. More expensive phones, such as the iPhone, now have 3D Face ID, which would work with a mask. But not with this model.

I am not absolutely sure. But I believe that the EU version includes frequency band 28, which is not included in the standard version. Frequency band 28: https://maxwireless.de/2017/lte-700-mhz-band-28/ In any case, there is no reason not to buy the EU version.

Your question is a little unclear. Do you want to copy a PDF file that is on the Xiaomi Redmi to the desktop of your computer?

Yes

Good question. Digitec has daily pricing, so the price can change daily. I would advise you to check the price every now and then.

According to the following website, this model (xx) has the LTE 20 band: https://www.hardwareschotte.de/preisvergleich/Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-8-Pro-p22161390#Produktdatenblatt

In a nutshell: Yes.

Without.

This is a global version.

Yes, Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 supports OTG. USB OTG or USB On-The-Go is one of the most recent technologies that allows you to connect your pen drives and in some cases hard disks to your smartphones and tablets. It has a cable and through that cable, you can directly view and use your pen drive in your smartphones.

The second SIM slot overlaps with the microSD slot (Hybrid DUAL SIM). You can only use the second SIM if you do not use a microSD. This should look something like this (graphic from another smartphone model): https://media.techbone.net/img/de/9125-oukitel-c9-max-sim-karte-speicherkarte.png

Both front and back Gorilla Glass 5.

probably not at all. rather take advantage of the promotion and ignore the colour, as no one will see it anyway, since you certainly won't use the phone without a cover.

According to Digitec's answer (the question has already been asked here), it is the EU version.

According to Digitec, it's the EU version. So that should be ok for you. The reports say that you should not buy the China version because it lacks the German language and Google services (Play Store etc.). You don't have these problems with the global or EU version, so you can go for it ;-)
