I loved my mi8 but since it fell down and the screen was inked. I can't get the screen for my phone anywhere else. Can anyone please 🙏 help me to get the screen? Please 🙏. I'm in Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa.

Hello to all of you.
Happy owner of the MI 8 since November 2018.
Real good device fro the price. Got the global version 6 Gb RAM / 128 Gb ROM and this device never disappointed me on anything. I've been using Xiaomi.eu for a while and didn't like the optimisation of memory (even they say it's better than original), battery drain happened a few times, but i believe it's something to do with services. Moved back to stable as Dev version it's rolling out any more. So i can say it's all great.
Swipe navigation is one of the best things with it, Google swipe navigation isn't friendly.
Battery life is good, 1 full day with 1 - 2h of YouTube, 2 h of online radio, about 4h of voice calls. So it's very hard to complain about it.
Notche you're getting used to quickly and it doesn't bother you.
Great phone for a little more then 300€ inc. delivery )
Happy times.

Being a happy owner of a Mi 8 in regards to the lens bevel, it gets leveled out with the provided case.

As a xiaomi.eu user for years, I can say that 99% of the general complaints you find about miui don't exist there. Also I'm coming from a nexus device, so comparing stock to miui capabilities is a nogo for me to go back. Stock android lacks a lot of options and is mostly praised by youtubers. In fact pixel devices running the brand new software are using us for ginny pigs.

OMG
>you'll notice a not-insignificant display chin, but we'll admit we actually quite like it for one specific reason: it gives you somewhere to rest your fingers when you hold it.
At last someone else who actually uses hands with fingers in there ... fantastic! Please give this reviewer more weight (than the impractical 100% screen but don't touch it baby ones)
Thanks

I've had it for 6 months or so and love it. Came from a Galaxy S8+ and aside from wireless charging haven't missed much else. Installed Nova Launcher and it's close enough to a stock Android experience to satisfy. Great camera, battery life, speed, and Xiaomi has been very consistent with updates. Can't beat it for the price.
