Xiaomi has been continuously rolling out MIUI 12 update to eligible devices for months. Last week, the company began to seed out MIUI 12 stable update for its 2018 flagship, Mi 8 in China. Now, Mi 8 Lite, the toned-down version of this handset is getting a similar treatment.

Just like most Xiaomi/Redmi handsets, the MIUI 12 stable update for Mi 8 Lite comes with build number V12.0.1.0.QDTCNXM (via PiunikaWeb). Also, like other phones, the update is being rolled out in batches and therefore, it will take time to reach every unit.

As for features, since the device sports an LCD panel, it misses out on new AOD+ and Super Wallpapers. But it gets all other important goodies like Dark Mode 2.0, new Control Center, granular permissions, new animations, and more.

This smartphone was also made available in international markets like Europe upon release. But the MIUI 12 stable update rollout for the global variant is yet to begin. Similar story for the Mi 8 as well. Also, the latter will mostly get the update first in global markets like in China.

Further, since POCO F1 was launched around the same time as these two phones, we think it will be soon getting the MIUI 12 update as well.

Xiaomi has been slow to upgrade most of its smartphones to Android 10-based MIUI 11. Even though the company has released the latest MIUI 11 for all eligible models, most of them are still stuck on Android 9. In a few cases where Android 10 updates have been announced, it has been enmeshed in one issue or the other which has sometimes resulted in the rollback of the update.

In a surprising move, the Chinese tech giant has now released Android 10-based MIUI 11 Global OTA update for the Mi Max 3 and Mi 8 Lite. The Mi Max 3 only got Android 9 Pie-based MIUI 11 update in March and now this. The Mi 8 Lite had earlier received Android 10 based MIUI 11 update for the China Beta ROM back in December. So, the global OTA was expected since then.

The update ushers in MIUI V11.0.1.0.QEDMIXM for the Mi Max 3 while the Mi 8 Lite brings MIUI V11.0.1.0.QDTMIXM. Both updates bring along the February 2020 Android security patches. These updates will likely be the last for both models. The Mi Max 3 may also be the last Mi Max model that Xiaomi will release, as per previous reports.

Xiaomi has consistently been pushing the latest MIUI 11 update to its smartphone models. Quite a good number of Xiaomi phones have got the update ranging from flagship models like the Mi Mix 3, Mi 8, Mi 9 to mid-rangers like the Mi 9 SE, Redmi Note 8 Pro, Note 7, Note 6 Pro, Note 5. Even the budget segment isn’t left out as the Redmi 4, Redmi 5, 6/6A and several others have received OTA updates. While MIUI 11 brings several interesting features including system-wide Dark mode, most of the update was based on Android 9 and not the latest Android 10.

In a surprise twist, Xiaomi seems to have pushed MIUI 11 beta update to the Mi 8 Lite and it is based on Android 10.

The Mi 8 Lite could be regarded as an old smartphone, launched in September 2018 running Android 8.1 Oreo-based MIUI 10. The phone soon got updated to MIUI 10.2 which ushered in Android 9 in February this year. This new update was spotted by Piunikaweb and it is for the  Chinese Beta ROM. However, its appearance is an indication that Xiaomi is likely working to bring Android 10-based builds of MIUI 11 to the phone but we can’t say if it will affect the Global Stable branch. There is even a link to download the update file but since it is the Chinese Beta build, you won’t get Google Play Store onboard.

Xiaomi is one of the most considered smartphone manufacturers when it comes to midrange devices sold for less than $300. The new Redmi Note 7 is the first Xiaomi’s midrange smartphone of 2019 and it is the first device after Redmi became independent from Xiaomi. A lot of people are already considering it the perfect midrange phone and waiting for it to hit the shelves. But before giving it a chance, we think it is worth comparing it with other Xiaomi midrange phones which offer similar specifications: Mi 8 Lite and Mi A2, in order to establish which one is the best. Here you will find all the differences between three of the most interesting midrange phones in terms of quality-price ratio.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 vs Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite vs Xiaomi Mi A2

Design

There are huge differences in the aesthetics of these smartphones for both looks and materials. Xiaomi Mi A2 is less attractive because it comes with a classic full metal unibody design and thick bezels both above and below the display. Its design is definitely not exceptional, while both its rivals come with a premium design that includes a glass back and an aluminum frame. I would pick the new Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 for one simple reason: besides having a smaller waterdrop notch (but slightly thicker bezels) it comes with a better build quality. According to the company, the phone is water resistant and dust resistant even though it does not come with an IP certification, and the first teardown has already proved it. Further, it has Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5 protection for the display and its glasses will be very resistant.

Display

No matter which display you choose, you will get more or less the same quality. All are midrange-class IPS panels with Full HD+ resolutions and their sizes are similar. The only important differences are the notch and the aspect ratio. Xiaomi Mi A2 has an 18:9 display without a notch, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite has a 19:9 display with a medium-sized notch and Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 has an even taller 19.5:9 screen with a small waterdrop notch but slightly thicker bezels than Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite. I would personally go for the Xiaomi Mi A2 because I think its display offers a slightly better image reproduction.

Specs & Software

Just like the displays, even the hardware departments are very similar. Each of these phones is powered by the midrange Snapdragon 660 chipset by Qualcomm which is able to offer more than sufficient performance in every scenario, including gaming. However, while Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 and Xiaomi Mi A2 come with MIUI 10 out of the box (only the former is based on Android Pie), Xiaomi Mi A2 has the stock Android One which should provide a smoother user experience thanks to the absence of customizations. But Xiaomi Mi A2 is the only one that does not feature a micro SD slot to expand the internal storage. Also note that Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 does not have a variant with 128 GB of internal storage unlike Mi A2 and Mi 8 Lite.

Camera

When it comes to the camera there is no challenge: Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is the most impressive. It comes with the new 48 MP sensor by Samsung paired with a 5 MP depth sensor, and it can provide a stunning level of detail thanks to the incredibly high resolution. It is able to capture impressive photos even in low light conditions. The second place goes to Xiaomi Mi A2 which also offers a better front camera for selfies, equipped with a front-facing LED flash that is always useful to click photos in the dark. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite has a less convincing rear camera setup but it is still sufficient for a midrange phone.

Battery

Due to its way bigger capacity (4000 mAh), Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 takes the title of best battery phone of the trio. It can easily last two days on a single charge if you do not stress it too much. Further, it features a faster-charging technology: Quick Charge 4.0, that is the latest standard by Qualcomm. The second place goes to Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite with its 3350 mAh battery supporting Quick Charge 3.0. Xiaomi Mi A2 is not so strong at battery life and it is just a sufficient device, but at least it is well-optimized.

Price

Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 debuted in the Chinese market with a price tag of about $147/€128, while Xiaomi Mi A2 and Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite are already available in the global market. The former can be found at about $230/€200 thanks to online street prices, while the latter costs about $263/€230. Despite its lower price, Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 wins the comparison because of its bigger battery, better build quality, and amazing camera.

If we had to choose the best value for money smartphone by Lenovo which hitten the shelves in 2018, we would definitely say Lenovo S5 Pro. A few days ago, the Chinese giant launched a new variant of the handset: the Lenovo S5 Pro GT, which distinguishes from the original one for having a better chipset. For this reason, this device may become one of the Chinese best-sellers in 2019. But it has some rivals which will not make it easy, such as the new Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 and Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite. Check out the following specs comparison if you want to learn more about them.

Lenovo S5 Pro GT vs Asus Zenfone Max Pro (M2) vs Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite

Design

In our opinion, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite has an overall better look. It comes with a glass back and an aluminum frame, as well as a very high screen-to-body ratio thanks to the small notch. And it is also the thinnest device. The second spot in the ranking goes to Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 and its reflective glass back available in two hues. Lenovo S5 Pro GT is a full metal unibody phone, so it has a lower-end design and it is not as attractive as its concurrence. Further, its notch is bigger, but there is to say that it includes an IR face recognition system and it is hard to find such a sensor on mid-rangers.

Display

On the multimedia side, Lenovo S5 Pro GT is a slightly more valid device. It comes with an above-average display as well as stereo speakers, so watching videos and movies is a more catchy experience with this phone. Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 and Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite have the classic displays that you can find on most of mid-rangers.

Specs & Performance

The only thing for which these devices are not different is the hardware side. They all come with the Snapdragon 660 SoC by Qualcomm and up to 6 GB of RAM. Excluding Asus Zenfone Max Pro (M2) which sports 64 GB, each of these devices has up to 128 GB of internal storage, but the M2 comes with a micro SD dedicated slot which allows using both dual SIM and micro SD slot at the same time.

Camera

If we consider the whole camera departments of these handsets, Lenovo S5 Pro GT is the most complete one. It comes with an above-average dual setup on the back and a dual camera even on the front side. While on the back there is a secondary telephoto lens with optical zoom, the front has a secondary depth sensor. Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 and Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite are more or less at the same level, with their advantages and disadvantages. I would pick the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite because I liked more its photos with good light conditions, while Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 is better with low light.

Battery

Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 is the champion of battery life and one of the longest lasting phones in the whole Android market, thanks to its 5000 mAh battery. Lenovo S5 Pro GT is great as well, but it has only 3500 mAh and it does not reach Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 in any scenario. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is the worst one with a 3350 mAh battery, but it supports Quick Charge 3.0 so it is able to charge very fastly.

Price

Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 recently hitten the Indian market with a starting price of $270, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite costs about €200 in Europe and Lenovo S5 Pro GT debuted with a €200 price tag. I would personally choose Lenovo S5 Pro GT because of its great cameras, stereo speakers, IR face recognition and some other strong points I did not see in other handsets.

Xiaomi has officially published the kernel source code for the Mi 8 Lite on GitHub. The Mi 8 Lite was released not too long ago alongside the Mi 8 Pro and it comes with a premium flagship look as well as a decent mid-range hardware setup. The Mi 8 Lite is the cheapest among the past and the sales have been brilliant so far. Thus, it shouldn’t be a surprise that the device is being positioned to appeal to a wider audience with the release of the kernel source code.

The Mi 8 Lite comes running Android 8.1 Oreo-based MIUI 10 and some persons are really not too keen about smartphones that don’t run stock Android. But with the release of the kernel source code, third-party ROM developers can develop more personalized ROMs, bringing more customization features. You can download the kernel source code on GitHub from here.

Oppo just announced another smartphone from its sub-brand: Realme U1. A device which comes with an amazing quality-price ratio and a brand new upper-midrange chipset: the Helio P70. Comparing it with the latest mid-rangers from other Chinese companies is definitely a good way to establish if this device is worth the money asked to get it and if it will succeed. So here we go with a comparison between Realme U1, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite, and Honor 10 Lite.

Oppo Realme U1 vs Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite vs Huawei Honor 10 Lite

Design

Most of the actual Chinese midrange smartphones have many things in common when it comes to aesthetics. They often come with glass backs, notched displays and flagship-like looks even though their price is affordable. In this trio, the most beautiful one, in my opinion, is Honor 10 Lite because of its smaller notch, a very high screen-to-body ratio and its availability in two different gradient color variants.

Display

You should not pay much attention to the display when you are about to choose a midrange smartphone because they always have more or less the same quality. Given the similar display size and viewing quality, it is a draw. Whatever you choose, you will get a phone with a sufficient but not so exciting screen.

Specs & Software

Given that it comes with the latest and most powerful SoC by MediaTek, the new Helio P70, Realme U1 is definitely the most interesting device. Given that Helio P60 was very close to Snapdragon 660 and Kirin 710 in terms of performance, the new Helio P70 should provide better performance than its rivals from Qualcomm and Huawei. But not that there is not a 6 GB RAM version for the Realme U1, while the other two handsets also come in the 6/64 and 6/128 GB configurations. Further, there is to mention that Honor 10 Lite is the only one to come with Android Pie out of the box. And it also features the new GPU Turbo 2.0 technology which guarantees a big performance increase with games.

Camera

If you want a superior rear camera, get the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite (Honor 10 Lite is very close in terms of photo quality). But if you are looking for an amazing selfie camera, go for the Realme U1 as it features one of the best front cameras in the market and it is able to shoot detailed selfies even in low-light conditions. On the other hand, at least on the paper, the rear dual camera of the Realme U1 is disappointing.

Battery

These devices are packed with batteries which have similar capacities, so it is not easy to understand which one will last more on the paper. We will have to test the Realme U1 personally in order to establish if its bigger battery will last more, especially because we never tested the efficiency of the new MediaTek Helio P70 chipset. So, for now, we can not talk about battery life.

Price

Oppo Realme U1 just debuted in India with a listing price starting from €150/$170, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is available globally and it costs about €230/$260, and Honor 10 Lite was launched with a €210/$240 price tag. On the paper, Realme U1 is the most convincing one, but in order to give a definitive opinion, we have to test it on our own to evaluate the performance of the new Helio P70 chipset, the camera quality, and the battery life.

Xiaomi unveiled the Mi 8 Lite alongside the Mi 8 Pro on September 19 with the two models coming out with premium designs. While the Mi 8 Pro is postured as a flagship continuation of the Mi 8, the Mi 8 Lite has a mid-range posture and that is reflected in the affordable pricing it adopts. The Mi 8 Lite also comes out as the first Xiaomi model to feature a gradient glass design. It comes in Dream Blue, Twilight Gold and Deep Space Gray colour variants. All three use the gradient colour hue.

Xiaomi has now revealed an interesting detail of the Mi 8 Lite rear glass panel. According to a short video shared on video sharing platform Miaopai, the Mi 8 Lite rear panel is actually a transparent glass panel when removed from the device. This leaves us wondering how the transparent glass was able to look like coloured glass when adorned on the Mi 8. The Chinese company explained that the glass has a number of tiny coatings, forming a nano-scale of different thickness on the surface. This design relies on the refractive properties of glass such that when the light hit the glass, the rays get scattered using optical properties such as interference, absorption and diffraction to give us the gradient hue. When in the open, it is a clear transparent glass but when place on top of a dark cardboard sheet, the Blue gradient hue comes through. This same principle applies for all three gradient variants the Mi 8 Lite is available in.

Despite the glass back, the Mi 8 Lite is just 7.5mm thick which means the glass isn’t very thick. Another thing, if you don’t believe this, Xiaomi has asked that you can try taking off the rear panel to confirm this. That may not be a good idea anyway, except you have got the expertise. You should check out the short video from below.

If you are not interested in the most important innovations brought by the latest flagships but you just want an excellent smartphone which is more than sufficient under every point of view, then the Lite variants of some Chinese flagships may be the perfect phones for your needs. Here is a comparison between Honor 10 Lite, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Huawei Mate 20 Lite, the latest Lite phones which offer a satisfying experience at a very attractive price.

Huawei Honor 10 Lite vs Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite vs Huawei Mate 20 Lite

Design

The phone with the most modern and futuristic design is the Honor 10 Lite. Thanks to its waterdrop notch it has the less visible bezels, it sports a very elegant glass back and you can even get it in two different gradient color variants. I like Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite but not as much as Honor 10 Lite because of its bigger notch. Huawei Mate 20 Lite’s notch is even bigger and its backside is sober but nothing special in terms of look.

Display

Whatever you choose, you will get more or less the same quality for the display. All of these handsets feature a classic IPS panel with a Full HD+ resolution, a sufficient color reproduction, and an average brightness. Huawei Mate 20 Lite is slightly better than its opponents thanks to its additional LTPS technology which usually makes brightness or viewing angles better.

Specs & Software

Talking about performance, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is the most convincing one because it has a slightly better SoC: the octa-core Snapdragon 660 chipset by Qualcomm. The difference between this chipset and the Kirin 710 is more evident when it comes to graphics performance, so especially gaming, because of the more powerful GPU of the Snapdragon 660. But note that Honor 10 Lite is the only one to come with Android Pie out of the box, while its opponents are still based on Oreo.

Camera

Huawei Mate 20 Lite offers more impressive camera performances with its wide angle main camera which is also equipped with a depth sensor doing its job well. It captures an astonishing level of detail when light conditions are good, and it even has a dual front camera with a wide angle lens and a depth sensor. So, even when it comes to selfies, Huawei Mate 20 Lite is able to click better shots.

Battery

At last, Huawei Mate 20 Lite is better even on the battery side. It can last more on a single charge thanks to its bigger 3750 mAh unit. Honor 10 Lite is the most disappointing one as its battery has just 3000 mAh of capacity and it does not even feature a fast charging technology.

Price

Thanks to its better camera and battery, Huawei Mate 20 Lite is the superior device in this trio, but it also costs more. At the moment you have to spend more or less €300/$341 to get it, while Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite (second place for it) costs less than €240/$273 globally and Honor 10 Lite costs €175/$199 in China (it is still not in the global market).

As we reported you earlier today, Huawei Honor 8X became the best selling online mobile phone for October in China. But is this best seller really the best phone to purchase at this moment? In order to know it, we decided to compare it with other very important value for money phones of this second half of the year: Oppo Realme 2 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite, which are two other potential best sellers all around the world.

Huawei Honor 8X vs Oppo Realme 2 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite

Design

The phone that I like more when it comes to aesthetics is undoubtedly the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite. With just 7.5 mm of thickness, it is the thinnest one, and it is also the most beautiful one, in my opinion, thanks to its wonderful glass back which is available in gradient colors. Huawei Honor 8X is another outstanding phone in terms of design, but it lacks the gradient hues and it has above-average dimensions due to its bigger display. Oppo Realme 2 Pro has a polycarbonate design and that is disappointing.

Display

Most of midrange phones’ displays have a similar viewing quality, and that is the same with this trio of value for money phones. What makes me prefer the Huawei Honor 8X is the bigger size of the screen, which allows a more comfortable use for multimedia, gaming, and productivity. But you may like Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite more if you want a compact device.

Specs & Software

Given that it features a powerful Snapdragon 660 SoC by Qualcomm and up to 8 GB of RAM in its most expensive variant, Oppo Realme 2 Pro is the device with the most satisfying performance, especially on the gaming side. But Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is almost at the same level as it features the same chipset, but max 6 GB of RAM. Huawei Honor 8X has a Kirin 710 which is comparable to the Snapdragon 660 but it is slightly inferior according to our tests.

Camera

It is a very close fight between these handsets when it comes to the camera department. Overall, Oppo Realme 2 Pro satisfies me slightly more because of its impressive shots in low-light conditions. Nothing incredibly surprising, but a very nice performance for a simple mid-ranger.

Battery

Huawei Honor 8X has the biggest battery, but Oppo Realme 2 Pro is very close with its 3500 mAh capacity. Further, it has better software optimization. Which one lasts more depends on the scenario and there are very marginal differences in the battery life between these two phones. So we consider it a draw. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite cannot compete with its smaller 3350 mAh unit.

Price

You can grab a unit of the Huawei Honor 8X for about €250, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite costs more or less the same, while Oppo Realme 2 Pro costs less than €200 but it is an Asian exclusive. If you do not mind about having a great design with quality materials, Oppo Realme 2 Pro is definitely the best value for money phone and I would personally pick it. Otherwise, Huawei Honor 8X is a better purchase because of its bigger and comfortable display as well as a bigger battery. But if you do not like both big phones and poor materials, then Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is your choice.

2018 was the year of mid-range phones’ evolution. Now, there are several budget phones with innovative features, great aesthetics and even decent cameras. And you can even get them for less than $300 easily. Oppo A7 is the latest Oppo’s mid-ranger and it brings important improvements to performance and battery life compared to its predecessor. In this article, we will compare it with the new Vivo Y95 and one of the most wanted mid-rangers in the actual market: Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite. Will the Oppo A7 be able to take its consistent slice of the market by competing with these titans?

Oppo A7 vs Vivo Y95 vs Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite

Design

A sure thing is that all of these phones come with outstanding designs, with impressive reflective backs and a very high screen-to-body ratio. For me, the most attractive is Vivo Y95 as it has a higher screen-to-body ratio due to its smaller waterdrop notch and a thinner chin. Further, it is available in beautiful gradient colors. Oppo A7 is very similar, but it has a slightly different texture on the back and a slightly lower screen-to-body ratio. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite has a very attractive back as well, but its notch is bigger and the body is thinner.

Display

Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite has the best display. On a screen which measures more than 6 inches, a resolution lower than 1080p means a low level of detail, and that is exactly the case of Oppo A7 and Vivo Y95. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite has an average IPS panel, but still better than its opponents. On the other hand, the lower resolution of Vivo Y95 and Oppo A7 makes the battery last longer.

Specs & Software

Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is the most performing device because it comes with a way better processor than Vivo Y95 and Oppo A7. Further, it has a variant with more RAM and more internal storage. The Snapdragon 660 is much more powerful than any SoC from the Snapdragon 400 series, so there is no challenge: Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is the best. But unlike its opponents, it does not feature a micro SD slot. All of these handsets come with a customized Android version.

Camera

Despite being the most affordable handset, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite has even a better camera department than Vivo Y95 and Oppo A7. It features two rear cameras with brighter apertures as well as a selfie camera with a higher resolution and auto HDR. Oppo A7 and Vivo Y95 are at the same level, with the former featuring some AI-backed features which seem more advanced for selfies, and the latter having a higher resolution for the selfie camera.

Battery

Oppo A7 has the biggest battery and it will be able to last very long thanks to the HD display and the very efficient chipset. Vivo Y95’s battery is just slightly smaller and its components are efficient as well, so its battery life is excellent as well. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite has a 3350 mAh unit which can only deliver an average battery life.

Price

Even though it has the best performance and camera department, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is available at a more affordable price: about €200/$228. Oppo A7 and Vivo Y95 cost about €270/$307 and €250/$285 respectively, but I would still prefer the Oppo A7 due to its very long battery life. And even though it has a lower-end SoC compared to Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite, it features the new HyperBoost technology which is able to enhance CPU and GPU performance by up to 31 percent.

Xiaomi has officially announced that the new Mi 8 Lite 4GB + 128GB version will officially go on sale tomorrow in China. The new version will be on sale at 10 AM UTC with a price tag of 1,799 yuan. 

The Mi 8 Lite was announced in September as a trimmed-down variant of the company’s flagship smartphone Xiaomi Mi 8 launched in May. The Mi 8 Lite features a 6.26-inch Full HD+ display having a screen resolution of 2560 x 1080 pixels, 19:9 aspect ratio, and a notch on top of the display. Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660 AIE octa-core processor, coupled with Adreno 512 GPU. The chipset is manufactured using an advanced 14nm FinFET process.

The phone was originally made available in three variants based on memory configuration — 4GB RAM + 64GB storage, 6GB RAM + 64GB storage, and 6GB RAM + 128GB storage. With this new 4GB+128GB variant, the Mi 8 Lite is now available in four different storage versions. The new variant is also available in three colour options just as the others— Dream Blue, Twilight Gold, and Black. Other configurations are also similar to those of the existing memory versions.

Xiaomi launched several midrange phones at very affordable prices this year. Among the ones with the best quality-price ratio, there are Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro, Xiaomi Mi A2, and Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite. While the first twos belong to existing series, the Mi 8 Lite is the first “Lite” version of a Xiaomi’s flagship and it looks even more interesting in terms of design and performance. Should you choose this brand new device or one of the other twos from consolidated existing line-ups? This comparison will help you find out by highlighting their pros and cons.

Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi A2

Design

Every design maniac would prefer Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite to its opponents because it features the most beautiful aesthetics. It has a stunning glass back and a higher screen-to-body ratio than its opponents. Further, it is available in gradient hues. Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro and Xiaomi Mi A2 both have a full metal unibody design available in normal colors, and the only important difference between their designs is the notch which is only present on the Redmi Note 6 Pro.

Display

All the displays of these devices are more or less at the same levels. They all feature an IPS panel with a Full HD+ resolution, a similar brightness and a similar color reproduction. There is only a big difference between Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro and Xiaomi Mi A2: as said above, Xiaomi Mi A2 does not have a notch, but it features thicker bezels. So, choose by basing on your tastes.

Specs & Software

Xiaomi Mi A2 and Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite have the hardware side which can provide the best performance. Both come with a Snapdragon 660 chipset and up to 6 GB of RAM. Xiaomi Mi A2 is slightly better in terms of performance because (unlike its opponents customized with MIUI) it has Android One installed, which is a stock and lightweight version of the operating system with faster updates and Google’s support.

Camera

The rear camera of Xiaomi Mi A2 is way better than Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite. It comes with a higher resolution for the secondary sensor (20 MP) and brighter apertures, so it can capture more light and provide more detail. But when it comes to the front camera, Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro is the most useful one as it has a dual front setup with a secondary depth sensor.

Battery

Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro is the only phone of the trio with an above-average battery. It has a capacity of 4000 mAh and it is one of the most satisfying Xiaomi phones when it comes to battery life. There are not many phones in the market which can reach its battery life.

Price

All of these devices can be purchased with a price tag around €200/$226, with just slight differences depending on the street prices available at a certain moment. There is not a real winner of this comparison: you should go for the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite if you care more about design and performance, Xiaomi Mi A2 if you want good performance and a great camera, and Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro if you are looking for a long battery life.

Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi last month announced the Mi 8 Lite in China as a trimmed down version of the flagship Mi 8 Pro. The company later hinted that the device will roll out for the global market beginning with Ukraine. However, Xiaomi’s global spokesperson, Donovan Sung has revealed on Twitter that the device is now available in Ukraine and France. He also revealed that the Mi 8 Lite will be made available soon in other of Xiaomi’s global markets.

Despite falling into the midrange category, the Mi 8 Lite has flagship looks, sporting a premium glass back design. The device is available in Twilight Gold, Deep Space Gray and Dream Blue colour variants. All three use the gradient colour hue and that makes the Mi 8 Lite the first Xiaomi phone to utilise the Gradient Hue. The Mi 8 Lite sports a notch at the top of its display which houses a 24MP camera with AI capabilities for selfies and video calls. The device equally features a massive 6.26-inch FHD+ display in a 19:9 aspect ratio which ensures it fits the palm of most persons well and won’t look too bulky.

At the rear, there is a dual camera sensor stacked vertically at the upper left corner. The dual camera setup comprises a 12MP main sensor and a 5MP secondary sensor with an LED flash at the side. The device equally packs a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor at the upper middle aspect. At its heart is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset. The device comes in 4GB+64GB, 6GB+64GB and 6GB+128GB memory versions. It runs Android Oreo-based MIUI 10 out of the box and gets its juice from a 3,350mAh battery.

Xiaomi didn’t announce the pricing of the device in Ukraine or France. However, the pricing in China starts at 1399 yuan (~$200) for the 4GB +64GB memory version. The 6GB RAM + 64GB storage is priced at 1,699 Yuan ($248) and the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage model costs 1,999 Yuan ($292). The global market may likely get it at slightly higher prices. Online retailers like GearBest and others already stock the device at slightly higher price tags.

HMD Global has just announced Nokia X7. It is the successor of Nokia 7 Plus, the handset which had the biggest success since the Finnish brand is back in the smartphones market with Android devices, and it will hit the global market as Nokia 7.1 Plus. Given the importance of this device, we compared it with the new Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite which is slowly expanding in the global market and Huawei Mate 20 Lite. All are perfect mid-range devices for you if you want to save some money, and here you will discover their differences.

Nokia X7 (7.1 Plus) vs Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite vs Huawei Mate 20 Lite

Design

The device I like more for its look is definitely the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite. It comes with a flagship-like design composed of a glass back with an (optional) gradient finish, and it has the highest screen-to-body ratio. It is definitely more attractive than Nokia X7 and Huawei Mate 20 Lite, even though Nokia X7 is a more compact phone due to its smaller display.

Display

Most of the midrange phones have an IPS display with a Full HD resolution and it is the same when it comes to these three handsets. But Nokia X7 has something more: the HDR technology. It is able to enrich the colors as well as converting content from SDR to HDR in real time. This display is the one with the best viewing quality but it is slightly smaller compared to Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Huawei Mate 20 Lite, and it allows the body of the phone to be smaller as well.

Specs & Software

Nokia X7 has the best display and also the best hardware department. It features the most powerful processor by Qualcomm if we do not count the 800 series. We are talking about the Snapdragon 710, an octa-core running at frequencies up to 2.2 GHz. It is the successor of Snapdragon 660 found on the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and it is way more powerful than Kirin 710. You will soon be able to get a Nokia X7 with up to 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage.

Camera

Nokia X7 is the winner even in the camera comparison, at least for the paper and for the rear camera setup. It features a bright aperture and Carl Zeiss optics, it supports dual pixel autofocus and it even has optical stabilization. We could not expect more from a midrange-class camera. When it comes to the front camera, the winner is instead the Huawei Mate 20 Lite with its dual setup which should detect depth info in a better way. However, we will have to test Nokia X7 personally to confirm these assumptions.

Battery

With a capacity of 3750 mAh, Huawei Mate 20 Lite has the bigger battery, so it is supposed to last more than its opponents. But HMD Global is used to optimize the battery of their phones very well, so it might be that Nokia X7 will achieve similar results with its 3500 mAh unit. So, for now, we do not have a winner as Nokia X7 is still not on the shelves.

Price

Nokia X7 will soon land in China with a price starting from €212, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite starts from €175 and Huawei Mate 20 Lite costs €300 (in the more powerful 6/64 GB configuration). Given its specs on the paper and its value for money, currently I would pick Nokia X7 and for me, it is the winner of the comparison.

In 2018, flagships smartphones are not the only solution to get a beautiful and performing device. You can bring an excellent handset even if you do not spend a lot of money, thanks to the upper midrange segment. Here we will show you a comparison between Vivo V9 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Oppo F9 Pro, three devices known for having wonderful aesthetics, pretty nice performances, and even above-average cameras if we consider their price ranges.

Vivo V9 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite vs Oppo F9 Pro

Design

The most beautiful, futuristic and original device of the trio is the Oppo F9 Pro. It features a diamond-like patterned glass back as well as very original gradient hues available (Twilight Blue and Starry Purple). Besides this, it has an amazing borderless display with the highest screen-to-body ratio and a waterdrop notch. It is definitely one of the most attractive mid-rangers.

Display

I would pick Oppo F9 Pro even when it comes to the display. It has a wide 6.3-inch panel with the LTPS technology, wide angles, and a high brightness. It is a very nice display, but note that the difference between this screen and the panels of the other two handsets is just marginal in terms of viewing quality and detail. Even the size is very similar. So do not choose your device by basing on the display.

Specs & Software

Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Vivo V9 Pro are the ones I prefer in terms of hardware, as they come with the Snapdragon 660 SoC which I define better for advanced users if we compare it with the MediaTek Helio P60 found on the Oppo F9 Pro. If you choose the most expensive variant, you will get more from the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite as it features 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. But note that Vivo V9 Pro and Oppo F9 Pro have a dedicated micro SD slot, while you can not expand the Mi 8 Lite’s storage. These devices all come with a highly-customized Android fork which offers nice additional features.

Camera

I believe Oppo F9 has the best camera. On the paper, it offers a brighter aperture as well as a higher resolution for both the rear and the front sensor. Further, it has nice AI-backed features in the software dedicated to selfies. Its secondary sensor can capture depth info for a better bokeh effect.

Battery

Oppo F9 Pro has the biggest battery and also the one that charges in the fastest way, so it is the winner of the battery comparison. It is powered by VOOC Flash Charge, a technology which can provide 2 hours of talk time with just 5 minutes of charging.

Price

Vivo just launched the V9 Pro in India with a price tag of $275, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite costs $175 in its base variant and Oppo F9 Pro costs $338. Oppo F9 Pro is the best, but with the actual prices, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite has the best value for money.

Xiaomi finally took the wraps off the Mi 8 Lite which was launched alongside the Mi 8 Pro on September 19. The two models are quite of high value in terms of their premium designs. While the Mi 8 Pro is postured as a flagship continuation of the Mi 8, the Mi 8 Lite has a mid-range posture and that is reflected in its affordable pricing. Despite falling into the midrange category, the Mi 8 Lite has flagship looks, sporting a premium glass back design. We serve you the hands-on pictures of the Mi 8 Lite Dream Blue colour variant scooped from Chinese blog IThomes.

The Mi 8 Lite is also available in Twilight Gold and Deep Space Gray apart from the Dream Blue variant. All three use the gradient colour hue and that makes the Mi 8 Lite the first Xiaomi phone to utilise the Gradient Hue. There is no denying the gradient colour adds some class to the looks of phones it adorns and that isn’t different with the Mi 8 Lite. Apart from the cool colours, the build of the Mi 8 Lite also sets it apart. The device is just 7.5mm thick which makes it slimmer than Apple’s iPhone XR., Oppo R17, VivoX23 and even the Huawei P20. 

The Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite sports a notch at the top of its display which houses a 24MP camera with AI capabilities for selfies and video calls. The device sports a massive 6.26-inch FHD+ display but the 19:9 aspect ratio ensures it fits the palm of most persons well and won’t look too bulky.

The rear design of the Mi 8 Lite includes a dual camera sensor stacked vertically at the upper left corner. The dual camera setup comprises a 12MP main sensor and a 5MP secondary sensor. There is also an LD flash at the side. The device equally packs a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor at the upper middle aspect. While at the bottom is the usual Mi logo. The Mi 8 Lite features a USB-C port surrounded by some nice speaker grills at the left and right sides.

As a reminder, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset and is available in 4GB+64GB, 6GB+64GB and 6GB+128GB memory versions. It runs Android Oreo-based MIUI 10 out of the box and get its juice from a 3,350mAh battery. The pricing starts at 1399 yuan for the 4GB +64GB memory and sales will commence on September 25 in China. XIaomi recently revealed he Mi 8 Pro will be launched globally soon. We expect the Mi 8 Lite to also make its debut on the global scene along with the Mi 8 Pro.

The latest upper-midrange smartphones from Xiaomi, Meizu and Huawei are something incredible if we consider the affordable price they are carrying immediately after their launch. In China, you need a bit more than €200 to get Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite, Meizu X8, and Huawei Honor 8X. And given that their specs are very close to high-end and flagship devices, these handsets represent some of the best deals you can find right now in the market. In this article, we compared them in order to see which company released the best Chinese upper-midranger in this second half of 2018.

Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite vs Meizu X8 vs Huawei Honor 8X

Design

Coming to the aesthetics, it is all about tastes. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Huawei Honor 8X have a definitely stunning design with their reflective glass back (the first available in gradient colors and the second with impressive light waves as well as a very high screen-to-body ratio). Meizu X8 instead has a very original design even though it is less impressive in terms of colors and light reflections on the rear side. Note that Huawei Honor 8X has a way bigger size than its opponents and this may let you change idea if you decided to get it.

Display

Huawei Honor 8X is the one I prefer because of its very wide display with a size of 6.5 inches. As said above, it even has incredibly narrow bezels. Each of these devices has an average IPS LCD panel, so do not expect a huge viewing quality but just a midrange-level display. There is a notch on each of them, but it does not contain a 3D sensor for face authentication. But note that each of these devices supports software-based face unlock as a method of authentication, besides the rear-mounted fingerprint reader.

Specs & Software

Meizu X8 is the phone which convinces us the most when it comes to hardware. Indeed, it has a more powerful processor which should handle heavier operation in a better way. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Huawei Honor 8X have two chipsets (Snapdragon 660 and Kirin 970) which can be considered at the same level, but I believe that the former will have better graphics performance thanks to its more powerful GPU. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite has the MIUI installed (the best UI among these handsets in my opinion), Meizu X8 has Flyme OS and Honor 8X has EMUI: all of them are based on Oreo and provide many useful additional features.

Camera

On the paper, all of these devices’ cameras should offer a pretty decent photo quality. All of them are dual cameras with an additional depth sensor and similar specs (Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Meizu X8 have the same primary sensor). But we are going to prefer Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite due to its potentially better selfie camera and its huge 24 MP resolution. However, I believe that differences in photo quality are just marginal, so do not base your choice on cameras so much.

Battery

On the battery side, Huawei Honor 8X should be the champion, even though we can not be sure of it until we test the handset in every scenario. But it has a way bigger battery with a capacity of 3750 mAh, and this should be enough to ensure a longer battery life than Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Meizu X8 which should provide a similar result on a single charge.

Price

You just need $205/€175 to bring a Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite at home, while for Meizu X8 you need to spend $223/€190. At last, Huawei Honor 8X sits in the middle with a price tag of $211/€180. Even when it comes to the price, the difference between these handsets is marginal, with less than $20 between the most affordable and the most expensive one. In my opinion there is not a definitive winner of this comparison and each of them is more suitable for a different target: if you want a bigger display and battery, go for the Honor 8X, if you need better performance, then choose Meizu X8, while if you need good performance, great cameras and wonderful aesthetics choose Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite. I would personally pick the Honor 8X because I appreciate is big display, its narrow bezels, and its above-average battery, but it does not mean it is the best.

Earlier today Xiaomi released its nth upper-midrange phone of this year: Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite. Given the high number of variants of the Mi 8 which are now in the market with similar names and the high amount of Xiaomi upper mid-rangers, we believe it is time to shed some light about the ones sold in the same price range as the new Mi 8 Lite. Here, you will find the main differences and similarities between Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite, Xiaomi Mi 8 SE and Xiaomi Mi A2. We will also suggest you which one you should eventually buy. Three handsets with high performance and similar specs at a modest price: who wins and which would be the most suitable for you? Let’s discover it together

Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite vs Xiaomi Mi 8 SE vs Xiaomi Mi A2

Differences

Given that aesthetics are the first thing we can see while looking at a phone, let’s start with the design which is different for each device. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is definitely the most attractive one with its gradient hues. But you may also love the Mi 8 SE with its original square shape and its incredibly high screen-to-body ratio, as well as the Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection for the display. Xiaomi Mi A2 is the only with a metal unibody design and it has just a midrange-level design.

Another important difference is in the displays: three different aspect ratios (19:9 for the Mi 8 Lite, 18.7:9 for the Mi 8 SE and 18:9 for the Mi A2) and three different sizes (6.26, 5.88 and 5.99 inches, respectively). Xiaomi Mi 8 SE is the most compact device due to its smaller display, high screen-to-body ratio, and smaller diagonal. It is also the one with the best viewing quality thanks to the Super AMOLED panel with HDR10 technology and DCI-P3 coverage. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Mi A2 both have mid-end LCD panels.

Talking about the hardware, Xiaomi Mi 8 SE is the most powerful as it has a better SoC: the Snapdragon 710 by Qualcomm paired with up to 6 GB of RAM. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Mi A2 have the same SoC and memory configurations, but Mi A2 is the only one of these devices to boast Android One, a stock version of the operating system supported by Google with faster updates.

Coming to camera quality, Xiaomi Mi A2 is definitely the most convincing one with its 12 + 20 MP dual camera on the rear and its bright f/1.8 aperture. It can capture stunning shots even when light conditions are not the best and it is one step forward to its opponents. Xiaomi Mi 8 SE and Mi 8 Lite have the same dual camera setup with 12 and 5 MP, f/1.9 and f/2.0 apertures. At last, there is a slight difference in battery capacities, with the Mi 8 Lite having the biggest one (3350 mAh), Mi 8 SE at the second place (3120 mAh) and Mi A2 with the smallest one (3000 mAh). One last difference: Mi 8 SE features an infrared face unlock system, while the others do not.

Similarities

First of all, these devices are similar in terms of hardware, because they all feature an upper-midrange hardware side. Even though the Mi 8 SE packs a higher-end processor, the difference should not be noticeable in everyday use. Each of these devices can be bought with the same memory configuration. All of them have the same display resolution and even though the sizes are slightly different, the level of detail is the same. The battery life is similar as well because their batteries are similar (but not the same) and so is the software optimization.

Further, all of them feature amazing front cameras with high resolutions for very detailed selfies (Mi A2 and Mi 8 SE have a smaller resolution than Mi 8 Lite but Mi A2 is the only with a front-facing LED flash). All the secondary sensors of these devices were thought to capture depth information. Other similarities which do not interest every handset regard the materials (glass back + aluminum frame for Mi 8 SE and Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite), same SoC (Mi 8 Lite and Mi A2), MIUI (Mi 8 Lite and Mi 8 SE), same rear and front cameras (Mi 8 Lite and Mi 8 SE) and similar prices (while you can get Mi A2 and Mi 8 Lite for less than $210, for Mi 8 SE you need more than $300).

As expected, Xiaomi today unveiled its latest smartphone — Mi 8 Lite. The company has opted for the all-glass body for the smartphone with 2.5D curved glass, which gives it a more premium feel.

Further, Xiaomi says that the Mi 8 Lite has a unique mirror effect which is derived through the use of “mirror nano vacuum sputtering” technology, through the nano-sputtering of 2.5D glass in a vacuum environment.

Xiaomi says that the design for the Mi 8 Lite is inspired by the works of French Impressionist Oscar-Claude Monet. For the first time, Xioami has introduced gradient color options for its smartphone.

It comes in two gradient colors — Dream Blue and Twilight Gold. There’s also the standard solid Deep Gray color variant with the same mirror-like effect.

Xiaomi, which started the trend of “Youth Edition” phones, believes that it’s competitors have also started following the same. At the launch event, the company compared the Mi 8 Lite with the recently launched iPhone XR, which Xiaomi says is the “Youth Edition” of iPhone.

The volume rocker and power button are placed on the right side. On the bottom, there’s a USB Type-C port for charging as well as a speaker grille.

The front side of the phone is dominated by the 6.26-inch tall display, which has Full HD+ screen resolution with a 19:9 aspect ratio. The notch on top of the display houses the AI-backed 24MP camera for taking selfies and video calling.

The Mi 8 Lite is powered by Snapdragon 660 AIE processor, coupled with either 4GB or 6GB RAM. There’s 64GB/128GB internal storage. Running on Android Oreo-based MIUI, the phone is powered by a 3,350mAh battery.
