Xiaomi Mi 8 Official with Notched Display & Snapdragon 845

Xiaomi is finally announcing the new Xiaomi Mi 8. Featuring a notched display and Qualcomm’s best chipset yet, the Mi 8 is unsurprisingly a high-end flagship smartphone – it’s also said to boast a very good dual-camera system.

For starters, the Mi 8 has a 6.21-inch Full HD+ 2248 x 1080 AMOLED display. Yes, it has a notch at the top, and there’s still a small chin at the bottom of the phone. It’s not quite as sizeable as, say, the Huawei P20 Pro’s bottom bezel, but it’s a chin nonetheless.

Aside from that, the Mi 8 also features a 12MP + 12MP dual-camera system, and it seems to be pretty darn promising. The camera has a large 1.4µm sensor, as well as four-axis optical image stabilisation. According to Xiaomi, DxOMark also gave the Mi 8’s camera a total score of 99, ranking it at the same level as Samsung’s excellent Galaxy S9+.

As is the case with some phones in the market now, the Mi 8 comes with AI scene recognition too. Based on what the camera is pointed at, the phone will automatically choose a suitable setting to make the shot look more appealing.

The Mi 8’s front-facing camera is quite interesting too. Unlike other Android phones in the market, the Mi 8’s 20MP front-facing camera uses infrared technology for face unlock. This effectively lets the phone recognise you even in the dark without the need to brighten the display to illuminate your face – many Android phones with face unlock does this in low light conditions.
