618 day represents the opening of China’s JDmall e-commerce website, and it’s normal for companies to offer huge sales on the platform for that day. Xiaomi however are pushing the limits of price cuts by taking the Mi 8 Pro and its 2999 yuan ($430) price tag and slashing it down to 1899 yuan ($274). That’s almost a 30% cut, and historically the lowest price that the Mi8 Pro has been listed for.
On top of this huge price cut, there’s also an extr coupon that cuts the price down ever further to a mere 1799 yuan ($260). This literally brings it down to Poco F1 levels of pricing, and it’s an great buy. While the Mi 8 Pro may be a last generation flagship, but it’s by no means a slouch. It still has excellent build quality, fantastic performance and great cameras.
The device comes with an on-screen fingerprint sensor, as well as last gen’s Snapdragon 845 SoC. The version on sale here is the 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage version, and it’s the only option. On top of all this, it also features a 6.21 inch of Super AMOLED display having a 2248 x 1080 resolution and a notch.
The cameras on the rear are dual 12MP sensors with OIS and optical zoom. Over on the front, there’s a 20MP f/2.0 sensor in the notch. Its camera supports AI features such as AI scene recognition and AI beautify. It is powered with a 3400 mAh battery with the fast charging tech. The device runs on Android 8.1 Oreo atop MIUI skin.
