  The Mi 8 is a really nice phone to have if you like the "premium feel" on phones. If you want power and looks its a good choise.

  Oh man, where do i start.
  The cameras. They are amazing on daylight, the only problem comes at night. They are not bad but not great either. You can see a bit of grain on the night photos like any other phone but sometimes its just horrible at night. The HDR and the AI modes are good if you want to take some really great photos but i usually turn of the AI, to make it have more "realistic" colors. The camera app could use some love too but hey, its good for now.
  The software. Oh god have mercy on me. Ok MIUI i love it and hate it for several reasons. Its fast and fluid and it doesnt eat up many memory but it isnt a Android One. The biggest problem for me right now, its the notification area. The notch takes up so much space that the only thing that you will see it the time, battery and network. It has NFC which is a good thing even though i dont use it that much. No wireless charging which is a draw back. Great battery life, even with a heavy. All and all its a great phone.

  Pros

  • Really good battery
  • It feels "premium"
  • Good visability on sunlight
  • It runs the latest games quickly
  • Great back cameras and selfie camera
  • Has NFC

  Cons

  • Software is not really optimized for the notch.
  • Its a bit of a fingerprint magnet
  • No wireless charging
  • No IP rating (at least anti-splash would be nice)
  • No telephoto or wide camera
  • Night photos could be better

  • 9.6
  • Screen9.3
  • Performance9.0
  • Camera9.3
  • Connectivity10
  • Battery9.0
