Review on Smartphone Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite 6/128 GB, midnight black by Aashit Shandilya ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A reliable product, quality is acceptable.

Bought for myself and both brothers, everyone is happy. The glass lid can be a hindrance, be aware of that. However, the whole (all!) phone can be covered with protection and it will not even turn into an iron, but this means +2k to the cost. The Xiaomi shell does not cause delight, but it has everything that Android is still looking for how to use, a smartphone for life and work + security at the level. The shell has: screen recording, sleep / reading / night / dark theme / street, volume control for different tasks. The native launcher, imitating iOS, was demolished already at the moment of switching on, since the system is non-aggressive, all mi-services were also turned off. Still receiving ates as of summer 2022. The battery lasts for a day and a half in quiet use, in the "watching the series all weekend" mode, it will last for 6-7 hours. I didn’t understand the camera, but I’m not a photographer either. I don't understand why you need a second one. There is AI in the settings, but it is not clear why. There is no audio mini jack 3.5 mm, and although there is an adapter, I switched to wireless. I really liked the "bang", because I hate "drops", I am personally satisfied with the color reproduction and clarity, even though I keep the phone in "reading mode" around the clock. The dark theme is too black, I'm waiting for it to be transferred to some "dullness", otherwise it's a very heavy design. IPS screen, when everyone already has AMOLED. Contrasting objects may burn out for a short time, and the screen may heat up and drain the battery. Will have to be more careful.

Pros
  • Memory, shell, camera, type-C, design, price
Cons
  • IPS screen, battery, dark theme; no NFC, no wireless charging; no mini-jack 3.5 (there is an adapter)
