Hi Guys, are You speaking about "Mi Mix 2 is the new Mi Mix"?
WRONG!
Mi Mix 2 is just a new version of Xiaomi Borderless smartphone.
At the end of march/first days of april, Xiaomi will have an event to show a new device:
XIAOMI MI MIX 2+ (Mi Mix 2 Plus)
same design of the Mi Mix2 but with 6,4" Oled display.
Other technical features:
94,3% display area
Qualcomm 945 (not confirmed)
8Gb ram
256Gb memory
MicroSD + Wireless Charge (we all hope....)
Miui 9 with Android Oreo
same NOT good camera like Mi Mix/Mi Mix 2 (but with 4k 60fps Video) :crying:
*Source internal worker, confirmed from gearbest friends
What do you think about Mi Mix 2 Plus?
Honestly? Sounds Like bs

sounds like commercial develp... S8 -> S8+ -> Note 8
Iphone X -> iphone X+
Lg G6 -> Lg V30
all the "bordeless" have a big brother.
Have sense all this. I'm sad only that we must wait so much months. :/
Unless you have a link to this "fake announcement" i doubt anyone will believe it
So, that's was true

It's going to be the Mix 2S, not the Mix 2+. So it wasn't true. It's not going to be a 6,4inch screen.. This guy probably just summed up some specs he made up which seemed likely to happen in a newer model. (SD 945, really??)
wtf u can do with 8 gb ) ...maxim 6 gb is enough to make the rutine of the day. And second, version with 8 gb ram is not everywehere disponible. so guys, if u want more sofisticate, buy a laptop and when u want to go somewhere, throw it in ur asssss ))

He was just as accurate as most of the "leaks" on the tech websites when it comes to upcoming models. The fact that he did it a month after the original came out is quite commendable. Good for him. You need to chill.
Mix 2S made official today https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-launches-xiaomi-mi-mix-2s-qualcomm-snapdragon-845/
So which after seller usually has it first?
I wonder if it will be compliant with Project Treble
I that case may be it could be worth to change mimix2 to mimix2s....
I thought any phone that comes with Oreo is project treble by default?
Its a shame it only does 4k video recording at 30fps
I never owned a OnePlus or Xiaomi phone before. Im currently rocking a Galaxy S7 but it got very slow and battery life sucks.
Which one should I get? How long do OnePlus/Xiaomi support their devices with Android updates?
pros for Xiaomi Mi 8:
- better screen (non-pentile matrix, HDR, 600 nits)
- probably better camera (dxomark score)
- cheaper than OP6 (~100 USD cheaper with import taxes etc.)
pros for OP6:
- probably faster UI/navigation speed
- smaller notch
- almost stock Android
- headphone jack (but not important to me)
If you have more arguments for OP6 or the Mi 8, please comment.
Looking to buy in the next 2 months.
I would say, if the Mi 8 got USB 3.1 support that is the device I will choose (op6 does not).
And for the OS I don't worry too much, since i'll flash them anyway
I have most of the oneplus devices, but the biggest bummer of them all is no USB 3.1 support.
Mi 8 got IMX363 Camera sensor with 1.8 aperture and 1.4um pixel size which have the same spec as Pixel 2 camera. I think it would have better Google Camera Mod potential than Oneplus 6.
Oneplus 6 got GCam support too, but as it got a smaller pixel size sensor, I think the image quality will not as good as Mi 8 when they both running GCam Mod.
Better camera, better screen, 20 times better front camera, better gps, better speaker (OP6 is unreal bad/can't be better) and cheaper.

Slightly off topic here... But what's the difference between a non-pentile and a pentile matrix?
@mariogrip
why is that so important ? I only plug my phone to USB when I need to charge it.
@Klanac89
Have you heard the OP6 speaker in person? Does the Mi 8 have dual speakers? Maybe there will be a soundmod in the future to support dualmod speakers.
@TheInfiniteAndroid
you should read this article on XDA: https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6-display-analysis-compared-oneplus-5t/
It does not matter because my 100 and 200€ devices have much better sound than the OP6. In other word you will think "wtf is this" and "there is nomwqy to find cheaper speakers". I was really shocked.

Agree. I returned my Oneplus 6 because of the speaker too. Comparing with my Mate 10, it is just unacceptable.
Volume is way too low, if you push all the way up the volume, it is still not loud enough and the sound starting to distort too.
Vibration is weak too, combine with low volume speaker means lots of miss call.
Xiaomi wins.
Disadvantages OP6:
- Weak Speaker (Mi 8 speakers haven't been tested but are hopefully good in sacrifice of the HP-Jack)
- VoLTE not everywhere in world
- Reported bad telephone quality (maybe SW-Update will help)
Only advantage of the OP6 is the smaller notch.
The phones are pretty similiar, but Xiaomi is a bit better and compensates the weaknesses of the OP.

As you have had a OnePlus 6.
May I ask, rumour has it Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 will come in September. I'm thinking of getting that Vs OP 6 Vs OP 6T.
What are your thoughts, if you would be so kind ?

I have no idea about MIX 3 as we have very limited information at the moment.
If it got similar design as the previous model, I think I would not pick the MIX as I don't want to turn my phone up side down every time I try to take a selfie.
Every MIX series phone got very poor front camera quality too.

@SlyUK Dude, nobody knows anything about Mix 3 or OP6T. So nobody knows how good/bad value they will be. What do u expect as an answer here? Maybe they're both **** and the Lenovo Z5 will be a gamechanger till then... nobody knows.

I was going on the basis (or calibre) of the pre existing Mi Mix 2S and OnePlus 6.
Edit:
In hindsight, silly question until both unveiled.
@lieblingsbesuch With reference to the Lenovo Z5 that you mentioned above:
https://www.androidauthority.com/lenovo-z5-872646/
Xiaomi will release kernel source code for MI8 next year... maybe. Before that i can't recommend anyone to buy that device.

How exactly is the Lenovo Z5 a game changer?
Snapdragon 636
64GB storage
6GB RAM
3,300mah battery
Notch
Seems like a typical 2018 device tbh...
Dude, this was an example to emphasize that it's not useful to speculate about any phone that has not been unveiled yet. Never said this Lenovo thingy will be a game changer. Please read twice before you.

Is that not you saying it will be a game changer, regardless this is a Mi 8 or OnePlus 6 thread, not Lenovo :good:
Hey everyone !
First, sorry for my english.
I would like to have the Xiaomi Mi 8 for my trip to Japan. Currently, I have the Galaxy S8 which is excellent but this Xiaomi interests me greatly.
First, do you think the Mi 8> S8 in photography?
Secondly, if I am going to buy it directly in China, how do I know that the store in question has it in stock on arrival? And could I put it in French you think? (or english at least)
Third, a release date for the international (France here)?
I leave for Japan in early July and it is possible that I do a tour in China just before, so I can wait for the international version but I need it before my departure and especially at the indicated price (360 €) or 400 € maximum; something that in my opinion it will not be the case.
You think that buying it directly in China is a good idea? Thank you!
I have the phone with China Rom and I am currently live in India. Yes there are little annoyances but overall nothing to complain even with China Rom
Looking on dxomark, in which you can compare to the note 8, the mi8 camera is definitely better for photos, I think even better than s9, the video quality should be similar to s8.

Hello
Does Xiaomi Mi 8 make such good photos/videos as Samsung Galaxy S9+ (according to DxoMark it should make the same, both phones achieved 99 points in photo/video category)?
Thanks

Nope. Samsung videos are unbeatable according to reviewers. Photos might be better on the mi8.
It has a 105 dxomark for photo. Video dragged it down.
Also, techtablets made a video on the mi8 vs op6, the audio recording capabilities of the mi8 are very very bad (might be a software issue). You should check out that video.

For the price it's the best, only thing comparable to it is the op6b but that phone is priced at little higher. If you don't do much video just buy this phone you'll be very happy with it.

You can't freeze the action using auto mode. Sometimes you get lucky. The auto mode of Huawei Mate 10 is quite good and the phone can take good action shots.
The reason why I didn't get this phone is I can't get K9 mail to work unless you use the global ROM. With the Mi 8, K9 works but only sometimes. It's a step up from my Mate 8 though except for the manual mode. Might have to use the global ROM too but unlocking the boot loader takes a long time!

What brand and model you are reffering to in freezing?
Unlocking bootloader takes a long time in which brand?
Cause if You have Xiaomi just fill a request form in case you'd have to wait many days. You might get lucky and get it quickly.

The most expensive will be the explorers edition with a transparent back and an in-display fingerprint sensor, also with a smaller battery (3000mah).
I'm in HK and for me here the mi8 is a lot cheaper. You can just check their website and compare prices.
Mi 8 6gb + 128gb = HK$3,699
Mi mix 2s 6gb+ 128gb = HK$4,399
Mi mix 2s uses ceramic on the back I think that's why it's more expensive.
The explorers edition is not out yet so no prices on that.
The lowest end which is the mi8 se has an all together different design and a different chipset(snapdragon 710), first released on this phone itself.

If you want to get the Mi 9 then just a direct spec comparison is enough without asking someone who's upgraded, you're gaining better screen protector, smaller notch, better SOC, better GPU, better camera, faster charging, wireless charging... No brainer imo
Good morning and thanks for the answers! Is the camera rly better without ois??

I'm assuming there might be a Mi 9s with ois and larger battery. The Mi 9 will have poor quality in low light photos
Got an Mi 8 blue 128 gb from Amazon WHD Like New for just 320 Euro. Wouldn't upgrade to the Mi 9 bc it is about 150 euro more expensive. Also a problem would be the missing OIS. Especially in Low Light situations. Nope, Mi 8 is still a great device. Btw: the Mi 9 is having a double higher SAR value which I personally care about a lot! 1,4 vs. 0,7.

From the FCC's website:
"ALL cell phones must meet the FCC’s RF exposure standard, which is set at a level well below that at which laboratory testing indicates, and medical and biological experts generally agree, adverse health effects could OCCUR."
Also, bigger OEM's such as Samsung also have devices with high SAR values, pretty sure the S10 or S10+ is 1.5
