Does anyone knows what is the model number for the 6GB RAM + 128 GB storage global version? I need to check on the compatibility of this terminal in may country Colombia.

    The Xiaomi M8 specs are OK and I am about to buy it.
    But I am trying first to solve some problems that really hurt me:

    - Missing SD-Card slot: Will need to choose the version with 265 GB internal memory and copy my movie collection to it (still hurts, as it was so easy to swap SD-cards).

    - Missing headphone jack: I absolutely need to charge the phone while listening to the headphones (and battery powered Bluetooth phones will never be a solution). Thus trying to figure out whether I could use a USB-C hub that doubles USB-C connections, using one for headphones (with the provided adapter) und the other-one for charging. CAN ANYBODY CONFIRM THAT THIS WOULD WORK?

    - I didn’t find any FM-radio within the specs. Is there any? If not, CAN AN FM-RADIO APP be installed and can it be enabled (with still the headphone cable being used as antenna?). This is important when being in areas without data connection, e.g. abroad, or simply for not wasting data plans with online-radios.

    Thanks in advance for any hints.

For ASUS ... morePS:One thing about the type C 3.5mm adapter that also allow charging from Baseus brand is, it cannot perform quick charging, just charging at 0.5 amp max, which is pretty slow charging. It does charge, but very slow charge. The quality of the jack also not in good quality, have difficulty plug in earphone jack, however it does sound ok.

                  Luiz, 16 Aug 2018Zenfone 5z or Xiaomi Mi8? They seem to be very similar, tho... moreDepend on your preference, both are great phone.
                  For ASUS Zenfone 5z, it got dual stereo DTS X speaker, 3.5mm headphone jack, also included a great earphone, Micro SD slot (despite being a hybrid slot), and FM radio.
                  For Mi8, only real benefit might be just the AMOLED screen, maybe some are fond to MIUI, but both have dual apps support. Mi8 don't has Micro SD slot, also don't has 3.5mm jack, but type C adapter is included in the box, only thing is cannot charge and listen to music at the same time, but you can buy a cheap branded adapter that allow charging and listening to earphone at the same time (recommending Baseus brand L40 adapter).
                  Both 128GB variant priced at my country is the same, but Zenfone 5z doesn't has 64GB variant sold, 64GB variant Mi8 is cheaper.
                  For me, at my country, the 128GB ASUS price when on flash sales and 64GB Mi8 (no flash sale) are just $25 usd or 1.7K rupees more expensive if you come from India.
                  So, definitely the 6GB/128GB variant ASUS Zenfone 5z is the ultimate no brainer choice, simply offer much more bangs for buck under almost the same price.
                  If no flash sale, both ASUS Zenfone 5z 128GB and Mi8 128GB have the same price. This is priced almost the same on the grey import of Oneplus 6 64GB variant.
                  (Official 64GB Oneplus 6 sold in my country is 8.5k rupees or $121 usd more expensive than the official 128GB of 5z and Mi8, and almost 13.5k rupees or $200 usd more expensive than the official 64GB Mi8)
                  Just pick the phone you want, certainly SD845 is currently the most powerful SoC, don't worry about the performance. For camera, both are far from good if compare to real flagship like Samsung or LG, but these phones camera are actually very capable, only the camera apps or software algorithm sucks. Installing a ported Google Camera apps will improve the camera performance significantly (can search at XDA forum for advice), and you will wonder actually those budget flagship are really capable alternative to those expensive one.

                    App optimization is more on like apps killer for power saving purpose, while the 6.21" screen just same as those 18:9 ratio and 19:9 ratio phone, just a regular 5", 5.5" or 5.7" phone that extend the ratio to become longer, beneficial only for normal apps, social apps, web browsing, but never beneficial for photo viewing, and those 16:9 video viewing.

                      Zenfone 5z or Xiaomi Mi8? They seem to be very similar, though Xiaomi is cheaper. I'm in doubt which one to buy! What do you guys say?

                        Depend on country, this phone together with ASUS Zenfone 5Z currently I would say is Oneplus 6 killer. Those phone are not perfect, but comparable among each others, as they are budget flagship phone. However, both Mi8 and ZF5Z price, head to head with the 128GB version, are 17,000 rupees ($250), cheaper for official manufacturer warranty set. Even the based variant of Oneplus 6, 64GB is 8,500 rupees ($125) more expensive than both Mi8 128GB and ZF5Z 128GB variant. Not to mention there are Huawei camp of Huawei Nova 3, Honor View 10, Honor 10,, which sold around the same pricing, with 128GB storage as well.
                        Still asking which one is better?
                        How about buying Samsung S9+, Note 9, LG G7+, HTC U12, Sony XZ2, OPPO Find X, Google Pixel 3, if you have the money?
                        How about buying Huawei P20 Pro, Vivo Nex S that is sold at the same price as 128GB Oneplus 6?
                        My country is special, can buy these phone officially regardless of region.
                        Now you know which one is better right?
                        Now you know which one is actually better right? (Yes, main point would be saying Oneplus no more is the affordable flagship that we all know, it is a flagship brand sold phone at flagship price as Huawei, OPPO and Vivo, just slightly cheaper than big brand flagship, not saying Oneplus 6 is bad, but the price is not right)

                                  I've just gotten my Mi 8 and have a few comments...
                                  I agree with the conclusions in the review that it is a really nice and fast phone. A few remarks:
                                  - App battery saver ("app optimization") seems to kill GPS if the phone is inactive for some time and makes it impossible to start it up unless the phone is rebooted (when I turn off this function everything works fine).
                                  - the L5 GPS band will be fully operational first some time in 2020's. At the moment there are only 12 satellites with this capability. So for sub-meter location accuracy we will need to wait a while.
                                  - 6.21 inch does sound impressive but as the screen ratio is 18.7:9 the short side is 2.99 which is even slightly smaller than a 5.5 inch screen with 16:9 ratio. This means that if you watch a 16:9 video it will be approximately sized as on 5.5 inch screen with "old" ratio of 16.9. I didn't think of this and got disappointed when I saw how small the phone actually is. This is of course valid for any phone regardless brand and not only Mi 8.

                                  Cheers

                                    Why don't they just put the battery percentage in the battery bar......problem solve and we don't have to swipe down to see the battery percentage.
