Design

The most stunning design belongs to the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 for two main reasons. The first is the presence of a camera placed under the display, so the screen is not interrupted by any notch or punch hole. Further, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 is built with an elegant and sturdy ceramic back. Even when it comes to the build quality, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 is one step forward. Its front glass is protected by the Gorilla Glass Victus protection by Corning and the phone is splash proof and dust resistant thanks to the IP53 certification. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 also supports the UWB technology which can be used to control other gadgets.

 

Display

Both these handsets are equipped with awesome displays, but the iQOO 8 Pro is the most impressive, despite it does not have an under-screen camera. The iQOO 8 Pro has an AMOLED panel with a high Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels, as well as the LTPO technology which enables an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz. The device also sports the HDR10+ certification and the Dolby Vision support, as well as a wider 6.78-inch diagonal. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 has an amazing display with 10-bit color depth, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision, but its resolution is Full HD+. Both are curved displays including an in-display fingerprint reader and both the phones come with stereo speakers.

 

Specs & Software

With these phones, you can get exactly the same hardware configuration. It consists of a Snapdragon 888+ mobile platform which is currently the best released by Qualcomm, up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. Unfortunately, the internal storage is not expandable with a micro SD. The phones support 5G connectivity in all its spectrums and they run Android 11 out of the box customized by MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition and OriginOS, respectively.

 

Camera

The camera setup found on the iQOO 8 Pro is slightly more impressive in more photography scenarios. It has a 50 MP main sensor with gimbal stabilization, a 16 MP telephoto sensor with OIS, and a great 48 MP ultrawide camera. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 is better if we talk about zoom, due to its periscope sensor offering 5x optical zoom. But the ultrawide camera is inferior with its 13 MP resolution.

 

 

Battery

Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 and iQOO 8 Pro have exactly the same battery capacity: 4500 mAh. Even the fast charging technology comes with the same power: 120W. It is the same for wireless charging, with a power of 50W. The iQOO 8 Pro offers reverse wireless charging as well, with a power of 10W. Since these phones offer a similar battery life and they are not bad as battery phones, we recommend you to focus on other aspects while choosing between these devices.

 

Price

The starting price tag of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 in China is €660/$772, just like the base variant of the iQOO 8 Pro. But note that the base variant of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 has 128 GB of internal storage, while the iQOO 8 Pro starts from 128 GB. At the end of the day, both these phones are amazing and which one to buy depends on your personal needs. The Mi Mix 4 has a more impressive design, while the iQOO 8 Pro has more interesting cameras and a great LTPO display. Which one would you pick?
