Earlier today, Xiaomi introduced its latest flagship smartphone, the Mi 8 at its 8th anniversary event held in Shenzhen, China. The Mi 8 succeeds the Mi 6 from last year and is arguably one of the most impressive flagship smartphones that the manufacturer has released so far.
Xiaomi Mi 8 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, paired with 6GB of RAM and up to 256GB of onboard storage. There is no card slot on the Mi 8, so further expansion is not possible. Connectivity features include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac dual-band, Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy, GPS with A-GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, NFC, 4G VoLTE, and a USB Type-C port. Keeping the lights on is a 3400mAh capacity non-removable battery with Qualcomm Quick Charge 4+ support. The Mi 8 measures 154.9 x 74.8 x 7.6mm and weighs in at 175 grams. In terms of software, the Mi 8 runs on Android 8.1-Oreo based MIUI 10 out of the box.
While Xiaomi hasn’t confirmed anything regarding the India pricing or launch just yet, the company did confirm that India will be among 10 global markets where the Mi 8 will be initially available. There is a good chance that Xiaomi may hold a launch event in India for the Mi 8 sometime next month. It is expected to be priced at somewhere around the Rs.35,000 mark and will take on smartphones such as the OnePlus 6 and the Honor 10.
