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.

I've just heard rumors that Xiaomi is preparing such thing. But it's a rumor!

Manual mode is not as good as even my old Mate 8. Huawei's V10 is better.

How about AUTO MODE?
I only take pics in that mode. The only thing I could want to set is flashlight.

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.

Isnt the most expensive Mi8 better than Mi Mix 2s?

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.

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?

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

Mi 8 or mi mix 2s

I haven't decide yet witch to buy.
I don't like the notch but i think mi 8 is better and i can find mi 8 with only 20$ higher price.
I have oneplus 5t now.

Mi 8 just for the AMOLED HDR display. Also to show off to your friends for the 3D face unlock. Or if you're really into the animoji stuff then good for you.
Unless you really hate the notch, mi 8 is the obvious choice. That dual gps things seems very cool if it actually works correctly
I don't actually hate notch because i have never used any phone with it but i think it's like a bitten screen.
Maybe i will use to it.
Mix 2s is far more beautiful but mi 8 is better.
All mi 8 have 3d face unlock and animoji or only the explorer?

Can we buy this version and after when it's released to install the eu rom?
Because now doesn't have global version.
It's possible to buy it now and after just flash the eu rom or i will have a problem?

Yes.
No, you will not have a problem.
The mi8 has IR face unlock and the EE has 3D face unlock.
The Mi8 got mono speaker and cheap mic, the better front camera and the rest is almost the same, feels better in hand but I will buy Mi Mix 2s.

A better front camera, broken GPS for now, no dual speaker, no wireless charging, longer and no ceramic. It offers less than Mix 2s and it is about 60€ cheaper, for good reason.

Mi 8 vs Mi 9

Hi guys! I'm a happy mi 8 user and I want to buy mi 9.
Anyone jumped to mi9 from mi8?
Does it worth?
Thank you.

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

Mi 8 to Mi note 10, is it worth to change?

Hello guys,
My question is, is it worth to change my Mi 8 with Mi note 10? Camera performance is what interesting me, not overall performance. I'm not a gamer....
Hello. I jad also Mi8. Now i bought the Mi10 (I know its not the Mi Noten10) and i give it the Mi8 to my girlfriend. After 10 days im not so happy with my Mi10. Ok, fast, beautiful screen,relatively good camera. But, its big(Mi8 was greatin my hand),and heavy. I would like to go backnto my Mi8, but my girlfriend dont want to give me back ?. Thats my personal opinion. But,its mist be your personal decision.

I considered getting it myself. But after researching the phone it less less bands than the mi8 and mi9, ( not including the 5 G bands of course)
In regard to the camera, watch this complet video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFtdc8Fj1Wg and you will see that the Note 10 actually competes fairly well against the Mi10. personally, i have decided to stick with the Mi8 for a while until i have a better idea of What I would want to upgrade to. I am also considering the OnePlus 7T or OnePlus 8.
if you are interested i made a spreadsheet with the differences between phones and radio bands.
As an owner of both devices, all i can say is stick to mi8.
Here are few reasons why:
1) in-hand feel and size.
Note 10 is just to hefty and thick. Mi8 is much more enjoyable to handle.
2) Curved screen - so unpleasant to use, so easy to brake.
3) Very slow fingerprint reader.
4) SD730 is not flagship level
5) Camera has great IQ but photo processing and camera handling is slow and nonresponsive.
Of course, there are some benefits of mi note 10, better battery and more versatile camera setup, but for me mi8 is still better option with a smaller size, ir face unlock, classic fingerprint and more powerful cpu.

I have both phones and can tell you: Stay with your Mi 8. Even if the camera is way better in Mi Note 10 it has many bugs. And you can really feel the Snapdragon 730G. Image processing is slow, apps aren't loading as fast....
Go with Mi 10. I think it gives you everything.

Question Should i get mi 11 or wait?

Hello
I have oneplus 7t pro, and im thinking to get xiaomi mi 11, what your thoughts mates who have the phone?, i mainly target sd 888 but what about the camera, as i see mixed opinions about it, or should i wait and see mi 11 pro or ultra ?, What their prices will be ? My budget is 600-700 usd max
I'll wait if I was you, I got a xiaomi mi 11 and I can tell you that the cameras are awful, everything else about the phone is really really good but the cameras are a big no no, I'm even planing on selling the mi 11 to get a mi 11 pro or something with a better main sensor.

Are you try it on with Google Camera applicant? Have a problem with sensor or camera applicant? Cuz I barely seen people complaint about that.
Mi11 main camera is good but not pixel and iphone amazing good. Wide one is barely usable, real disappointed in this one and also front one is disappointment. Phone flies, super smooth and fast depending on your settings. In my opinion not worth to replace one plus 7t pro for this device.
I pre-orderd mine, as the camera is just my second important feature, just interested how wonderful the screen and how fast the SD 888.. Anyway if the expectations would not met, there is a 15 day return policy what ever the reason is..
