This year, Xiaomi celebrated their 8th Anniversary on 31st May with the flagship Mi 8. Although the phone was previously named Mi 7, the company claims that it skipped a digit to do “justice” to the increased specifications compared to its predecessor. The Mi 8 comes in three versions: Mi 8, Mi 8 SE, and Explorer Edition, which contain many high-end features that aim to challenge its competitors.

Specifications

Display

Mi 8 comes with a 6.21” AMOLED display that has been used for the first time by the company. The screens have been manufactured by Samsung, which is the leading manufacturer of OLED screens.

Unlike many other phones in the market, Mi 8 features a 20 MP front camera sensor backed by its large pixel technology. This enables the camera to catch more light while capturing magnificent details. The camera allows you to take perfect selfies with a beautiful bokeh effect. Moreover, the phone also features AI beauty mode with great post-editing tools, including 3D modeling.
