The wait is over and most of the rumors floating and leaked around were true. The only thing that really surprised us was the Mi8 Explorer edition with a transparent back and in display fingerprint. The standard Mi8 has a rear end fingerprint sensor.

The Xiaomi Mi8 weighs 175 grams and measures 154,9mm x 74.8 mm x7.6 mm and packs a 6.21 inch Samsung AMOLED screen in an 18.7:9 screen ratio. The phone is as big as the 5.5-inch phones from the past so roughly the size of a phablet.

It comes in four colors - white, gold, blue and black and, of course, it has a notch. The MIUI 10 user interface can help you hide the notch if you are really bothered by it.

China likes Antutu and, according to Lie Jun, the Xiaomi CEO, the new phone beats all competitors including Galaxy S9, Mix 2S, Sony XZ2, HTC U12+ and a few others scoring 301.472. This must be the highest score that we’ve seen so far on an Android phone.

The second, very important point, is that according to a photo DxOMark benchmark the Mi8 scores 105 - outscoring the Mi MIX2 and even the iPhone X.

The AI camera has 12 megapixel support and an IMX 363 sensor with f 1.8 and 1.4 micrometer pixel and 2PD as well as a 12 megapixel camera powered by Samsung’s S5K3M3 Cmos with f2.4 and 1.0 micrometer pixel size.
