Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro review: More competition in the affordable flagship sector Review | ZDNet

The Mi 8 Pro is a competent flagship-class smartphone at a good price, although a few compromises have been made in pursuit of affordability.

Transparent back with view of internal circuitry ; Plenty of internal storage ; Dual SIM ; Good performance ; In-screen fingerprint reader

Battery life could be better ; Poor speaker ; No IP rating for dust/water resistance

Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro review: Pro ambitions, amateur mistakes

The Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro is packed with all the things that we liked about the Mi 8, but aside from a stylish transparent glass finish and a minor RAM bump, it doesn't really earn its "Pro" moniker. Yet, if you can look past the unreliable in-display...

Eye-catching transparent design ; Impressive camera ; High value for money

MIUI 10 is a mixed bag ; Awful in-display fingerprint sensor ; Poor battery life

Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Review | Trusted Reviews

Xiaomi's Mi 8 Pro makes a splash in the UK with flagship hardware, an eye-catching transparent-backed glass body and a sub-£500 price.

Customisable software ; Eye-catching design ; Excellent camera ; Nice screen

Poorly optimised performance ; Underwhelming battery life ; No wireless charging ; Big notch

Look past the fact that the brand is still an unknown quantity in markets like the UK and the Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro packs an undeniable punch.

Hands on: Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro review

There's a new affordable flagship in town

In-display fingerprint scanner ; Cool transparent look

Design not as premium as rivals ; Camera isn't the strongest

The Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro has great features for its price point, but the main hurdle for it is the OnePlus 6T which seems to beat it in a few areas. However, for those looking for an affordable flagship that's a little different to the norm, the Mi 8 Pro is...

Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro review: Xiaomi comes out fighting

Great design ; Flagship hardware power ; Smooth and stable software

Camera not the best ; No 3.5mm headphone socket ; MIUI adds bloat and advertising ; Speaker performance is weak

While there are some flagship measures against which the Mi 8 Pro won't stand - it's launching into a competitive space and Xiaomi's challenge is to convince you to buy its hardware over a OnePlus or Huawei - it delivers power and performance, combined...

Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro review

Xiaomi goes for Pro - and largely pulls it off

Notch and in-display fingerprint sensor are peak 2018 ; Top-end internal hardware and super-quick performance ; See-through rear glass is next-level cool

A few missing features that would have made it truly ace ; Android skin not as slick as others

There’s so much to like about the Mi 8 Pro: a capable camera, stand-out design and cutting-edge tech

A week with the Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro – Day 3. The interface. - Coolsmartphone

Morning all. So, I had a lovely intro to this third day with the Mi 8 Pro. You can see our story so far here. This morning though, I woke up to find that

I have to say, the whole design of the interface just fits. It works well as a single offering – no disjointed feel – it’s a phone and interface which connects and delivers. From the notification shade, to the settings, to the design elements that flow...
