There is also 4- or 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64- or 128GB of storage, along with the aforementioned microSD support. At 3,350mAh the battery is just 50mAh lower in capacity than the standard Mi 8, and 350mAh higher in capacity than the Mi 8 Pro. With the lower-spec hardware we anticipate you’ll get a full day’s life from the Lite, though obviously this will depend on your usage. We ran the Geekbench 4 battery test and the Mi 8 Lite recorded 6 hours 22 minutes, which is significantly longer than the 5 hours 35 minutes the Mi A2 was able to achieve with its lower-capacity battery. It supports Quick Charge 3 for fast charging, but there’s no wireless charging in any of the Mi 8 range.

Mi 8 Lite Cameras In common with those higher up the range Xiaomi’s Mi 8 Lite features a dual-camera, but its second lens is lower specified at 5Mp. But while it lacks that second 12Mp lens at the rear, it goes one up on the rest of the family with a 24Mp lens at the front, making this the best Mi 8 for selfies. We took a selection of test shots on the Mi 8 Lite and were impressed with its ability. In low-light its large 1.4um pixels were able to do a decent job lighting the scene without turning to the flash, and we saw well defined text and clear differentiation between colours and shades of black. Noise is present throughout the shot, as you would expect, but overall it does a good job. In daylight scenarios the Mi 8 Lite performed even better, reducing the amount of visible grain and producing realistic colours and good exposure. Detail is sufficient that you can make out individual bricks on a building the other side of Euston Road, and even the letters on the road sign from seven storeys up. Turning on HDR (which can be left to automatic) makes a visible difference to the overall quality of the shot, here lightening the darker areas and adding emphasis to the cloudy sky. As on the Mi 8 Pro the selfie camera contains three beauty modes – a generic mode that adjusts an overall beauty filter on the scale of 1-5, remodelling options with a sliding scale for your eyes, nose, chin, lips and risorius, and a Make-up mode that lets you apply eyebrows, eyeliner, lip gloss and rouge.

In our tests only the standard overall Beauty mode made the slightest bit of difference, and the effect was visible only after you took the shot. We believe these other filters are going to be delivered as OTA updates in the near future. Mi 8 Lite Software The Mi 8 Lite runs MIUI, which is a custom version of Android based on Android 8.0 Oreo. MIUI will eventually be updated to Android Pie, but while you get MIUI updates fairly regularly Android updates are less frequent.

MIUI is quite a departure from standard Android, removing the app tray, reorganising and redesigning the drop-down notification bar, and reordering the Settings menu. In China it doesn’t come with Google services preinstalled (because they aren’t used there) and instead has many of Xiaomi’s own apps. Here in the UK you’ll get the Global ROM, which does include Google Play – and some of those Xiaomi apps. That could lead to a very bloated operating system and cluttered home screens, but it doesn’t feel that way here. You get Xiaomi’s own apps for things like Contacts, Messages, Music, Video and the browser, and you can easily install your own from Google Play.

Missing here is the Mi App Store, which you don’t need anyway as it’s full of Chinese apps, but you do get many of the Xiaomi extras we’ve admired before in MIUI. Chief among these are Dual Apps and Second Space, allowing you to take full advantage of that second SIM slot by installing multiple versions of each app, and create a second environment that is as good as using a second phone. There’s also Quick Ball and One-handed mode, both designed to improve usability with a larger display by placing onscreen a quick-access shortcut to common features or shrink the usable display area to 4.5-, 4- or 3.5 inches.
