Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Quick Review

One thing that made the Mi 8 so fashionable is its resemblance to the iPhone X thanks to the top notch and the dual rear cameras. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite retains the top-notch although not as large as the Mi 8 but its rear cameras’ arrangement are different. The cameras are positioned side by side horizontally while a LED flash appears outside their compartment.

Also at the back, a fingerprint scanner is mounted to serve as biometrics security for the device. It should be noted that Facial recognition is enabled on this smartphone’s front camera. The quality of the selfie shooter is 24MP, and it operates with a pixel size of 0.9µm. Bokeh images also known as the portrait is enabled on this front shooter. Even more, the dual rear cameras talked about earlier possess 12MP and 5MP sensors to take quality pictures.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset, a chip with AI support is what coordinates the flow of operations on this smartphone. On it, an octa-core CPU with 1.8GHz speed that can turbo up to 2.2GHz is present. Adreno 512 GPU controls how exclusive the graphics on the smartphone is delivered. Either 4GB or 6GB RAM handles the smooth running of apps on the version of the device.

In other areas like the bezel-less display, a 19:9 aspect ratio fits right into the 6.26 inches IPS screen. This screen’s crispness is all thanks to the 1080 x 2280 pixels and 403PPI pixel density.
