    been using it for two months, the main camera is really solid, definitely one of the best on any smartphone. but I agree that the performance is not really what I expected from a snapdragon 845 powered phone, there are stutters and lags sometimes, but no real delays. Anyway, it's definitely the best phone under $500.

  • @georgH
    @georgH Před 5 lety +1

    It should be pointed out that the incredible price is achieved by Xiaomi injecting ads even on the preferences screen, and although with lots of patience most can be turned off, you never know if next update will bring ads back without possibility of removal. Xiaomi has officially stated this is their business model, as they barely make any profit on the hardware itself.
    You could try the ROMs from xiaomi.eu, which are not vendor-supported (though some distributors in EU use it officially, apparently), but you risk bricking your unit.

      I bought this phone 2 years ago. I accidently forgot the window of yacht open and some drops of water fell on phone while i was sleeping. Water was so less that, i had a toilet paper near the phone and it was still usable. Even toilet paper survived from the water, phone could not. Motherboard and memory card, all oxidized. All my information is gone. Now i am looking for an iPhone 11. It was my first try of Chinese phones after using iPhone 4S and 5S. Now time to get back to Apple. Sorry guys.

    No mention of LTE band support.
    No mention of the poor audio recording quality.
    No mention of the fact that the dual-GPS thing so far doesn't seem to be performing any better.
    No mention of the fact that even though the display panel is good, it's not properly laminated so blacks are greyed by reflection.
    Come on GSM arena... this is half a review. Plus for the price, a comparison with the MIX 2S would be nice, same brand, same software.
    For those interested, MIX 2S has:
    - Similar rear camera performance
    - Worse front facing camera
    - Dual speakers
    - Wireless charging
    - Ceramic back
    - Properly laminated screen (but LCD, a very good LCD though)
    - No notch

      According to many other reviews, dual-GPS does improve accuracy. But it highly depends on where you are, what satellite system you are using and the satellites above your head at that moment. Because only newer satellite support L5 frequency. If the satellite above you don't support L5 frequency, then no improvement at all. Likely you will see bigger improvement in China or Japan, because many new satellite are launched recently.

    • @DaftBunny
      @DaftBunny Před 6 lety +1

      Ah, that makes sense! But I've seen other reviewers actually show lower accuracy as well... that's at least strange. But it may be just software.

    • @damien186
      @damien186 Před 6 lety +18

      - Mi 8 Has most of the important bands (even band 20)
      - Poor Audio recording is a known thing with many Xiaomi Phones, its also REALLY bad on the Mix 2s
      -GPS Accuracy depends on a variety of factors.
      -No headphone jack
      -Snapdragon 845 (like Mix 2s)
      -Better Score on rear camera and better front camera.
      -IR Face Unlock
      -Reallly cheap
      I cant comment on the lamination.
      Mix 2s :
      -Turn the whole phone around, just to get a normal selfie, EVERYTIME
      -Also has no headphon ejack, like Mi 8
      -Ceramic back is not necessarily better.
      - LCD is LCD though, some people prefer energy saving and blacks with AMOLED.
      - It might have no notch, but I rather have one and be able to take selfies normally and have face unlock with IR.
      - Mix 2S is found more expensive than the latest Xiaomi Flagship, Mi 8!

    Just curious, why your Mi 8 are in MIUI 9 not MIUI 10 ??
    Reviews from China are using MIUI 10, they seem have better performance and none of them have heating issue. Mi 8 back are cover with large area heat dissipating graphite, almost double the amount compare to Oneplus 6.
    According to review from China, the performance of Mi8 is almost identical to other 845 phones. Do you think adding Google's Apps on grey imported phone affect the performance ?

    • @leledumbo
      @leledumbo Před 6 lety +1

      MIUI 10 is still under development, for some devices (including MI 8) it's entering beta, others are alpha or non-existent. They're probably using stable ROM, which at this time of writing, is still of version 9.
