Relax, Uncle!
I didn't say that the Note 8 is necessarily better than even those newly launched premium Tecnos and Infinixes. I just suggested that after the comparison it will be surprising for him to find how superbly the Note 8 stands it's ground as it majestically argues the case for the flagships, never mind the fact being that it is a 4 year old relic!
And I also say, perhaps if you did various comparisons yourself with several other models and brands, you might find that the Redmi note 10 pro you are vouching for is just an other good phone from Xiaomi, but not actually any better than many others!
I don't have a problem with using older flagships over newer models. But before you go that route, remember there are Snapdragon 870 and 860 and they might cost same as your older flagship and give you more value
But Xiaomi should never be quoted anywhere with tecno of infinix, lets give credit where due
