          Dan, 12 Mar 2019Sweet deal!I was not happy to see the Mi 8 at such a low price, since it's cheaper than my Pocophone lol.

            good phone. but not for me.

              Worth noting that navigation gestures (specifically 'swipe from the edge') conflict with hamburger-menu sidebars on the left side of some applications (you have to reach to the upper part of the screen to slide it out instead of performing a gesture - super uncomfortable) and swiping keyboards (e.g. GBoard - closes the text entry when you try to swipe the text starting from the letter on either side).

                  Does anybody know following: Is there a night modus like in the Huawei and Honor Smartphones implemented. Which you can use with a stativ and makes long exposure photos upto 30s exposure time... I don't mean the Pro Modus where you can choose this manually

                    On the camera pictures comparison page, the pictures taken by the mi9 seems totally blurry.
                    Is it just a wrong setting, or the picture are really like that ?
                    If yes, i'll buy the mi8 instead of the mi9

                                        Good looking phone. Nice features. Though I would say to anyone wanting to buy a xiaomi phone to please go through the xiaomi forum like the mi 8 and mi mix 3 forum. it is full of complains and issues. from what i understand xiaomi does not provide support or customer service. i read the forum just now again and see much much more than 3 months ago. whats happening?. auto brightness issue in 2019? i was nearly going to buy mi8 but decided to stay far after reading up on the bugs and hardware issues. i owe a oneplus and huawei as backup. oneplus support is among best i experienced. next phone will probably be sony. i want to give them a chance again. My adivce is to spend little more. do not see specs like cpu or ram. also see software. software optimisation is most important.
