Xiaomi Mi 8 review

27 June 2018
Announced less than a month ago and selling like hotcakes in its homeland, the Mi 8 is Xiaomi's latest top model. What happened to the Mi 7, you ask? Well, it's the company's 8-year anniversary, and it must be celebrated.

      Mi 5s is also plagued with thermal throttling and the only thing Xiaomi Dev does is turning off 2 cores instead of fixing the phone or its MIUI 9.

          Idk why are there so many OnePlus fans over here,like to the people who said it beats the Mi 8 in every aspect:
          Mi 8's base model(6gb ram on miui 9.5;miui 10 is much faster)beat it in most speedtests(check Tech Trinkets channel for a valid speedtest).
          Mi 8's rear and front cameras are better for daylight and lowlight photos,video department goes to the OP6.
          The both use the same Super Amoled panel(Mi 8'a blacks are not as deep as OP6's,but OP6 is not as bright as the Mi 8.
          Speakers are average on both devices.
          Battery life is pretty similar maybe better on the OP6 but needs yet to be seen on the MIUI 10(better power efficiency).

                          I have the Mi max 2, unfortunately I dropped it on the floor, it had the screen protector on, but unfortunately broke the screen, I've been into various repairers, they have told me that I will have to get one from China as they are not available here!! Brilliant phone, my favourite yet!!

                            I own the phone 10 days now. Very fast device with premium build quality.
                            Camera is very comparable with other top flagships.
                            Best thing about the phone is the HDR screen ,I love it but it works only on YouTube and not in Netflix.
                            Battery is above average .
                            Only complain is that it ships with miui 9.5 and there are some very little stutters every now and then. From what I've read miui 10 is a lot faster, though it's still in beta .
                            If you've got any questions I'll be happy to answer them.

                                      Please explain why Mi8 from 650nit has less readability in the sun from OP6 from 456nit.

                                        So this is worse than Zenfone Z5 vs Samsung Galaxy S8+, right?
