Watching this on my Xiaomi Mi8
Feel free to ask anything 💜

I personally feels Mi8 is better then one plus 6 or even op6t
Specially its camera is just awesome But i love stock Android in One plus phones
Better software then Xiaomi's MIUI

[moataznabil]

No headphone jack - use wireless headphones
No IP Rating - Don’t drop it in water
No wireless charging - use wired charger
Notch - hide it in settings
Hate Miui - use a third party app
No drawer - install drawer app
Slippery glass - Put a case on (there’s already one in the box)

Problem solved

(But you have to pay some money)

The notch is so huge that it makes the feature completely useless. Can't properly see any notifications.

The latest update for Mi8 now support Google Camera app. The result is stunning. Very close to Pixel 3 camera

Watching from mi8 in 2020! Looks much better now after more updates tbh, Android 10, miui11, soon to get miui12 with new camera features! Might have to change battery by 2021, luckily they're around 15-20 USD!

My Mi8 can be a Wifi Repeater (Wifi + Hotspot both can be turn ON). No other phone can do this...

[johnchristian]

Sir do you still recommend it in 2021?

[alexp-de]

Very anticipated for the mi 9 which will come soon

[Mikein]

From United States. Great video. Around 2:40 did you say "it's more or less secure then Apple's?"

[dmitriygrigoriev]

Xiaomi be like "Hey, our next smartphone is going to be too good, let's fuck up the design so this device could have cons too"

[benpattipawaey]

The notch is quiet okay and doesnt bother me at all.
Nice one from Xiaomi.

[deniserez]

Does the camera captures at the same time u press the button when u take a photo? Just like S8 or S9 series . There is no lag in camera button

[ahsanvideoeditor]

8 (ba) in Chinese rhyme with "发" (fa) which mean “get rich”
