Recently, Xiaomi introduced the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite as the younger sibling of the flagship Xiaomi Mi 8. The Chinese giant also announced a Pro version of the Xiaomi Mi 8 called the Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro.
With a solo internal memory of 128GB, Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro presents itself as a device with more than enough space for storing files. Like the way iPhone makes their phones without MicroSD card slots, this device also follows suit. Well, the design looks like the iPhone X, so it’s no surprise some other features looks like the Apple masterclass.
Let’s get down more details about this device as we proceed.
Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Quick Review
In the display region, the smartphone boasts of a 6.21-inch screen that’s covered by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The screen’s type is the Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, something Samsung and Oppo love implementing on their devices. This display uses a resolution of 1080 x 2246 pixels to determine how crisp its output is. Additionally, it has an aspect ratio of 18.7:9 aspect ratio.
Behind this device, there’s also Gorilla Glass 5 to shield the device in case it falls from the back. The framework of the phone is the new aluminium 7000-series. Mind you, the dual cameras present at the rear of the smartphone looks a lot like the iPhone X. The cameras are arranged in a vertical manner while a LED flash sits in between them.
Smooth multitasking is another selling point of this smartphone. To put this in place, Xiaomi makes the phone in 6GB and 8GB RAM variants. Android 8.1 Oreo OS with the MIUI 10 is in charge of the software zone.
This Pro version uses 3,000mAh battery to control the power segment. Meanwhile, a 20MP selfie camera sees to the shooting ease at the front of the smartphone. At the back, primary 12MP and secondary 12MP shooters handle photography functions.
