Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Specs and Price

In the world of smartphones, the Lite edition is always the less expensive option, and the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is no exception. The Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is a mid-range smartphone, rather than the flagship designation enjoyed by the other Mi 8 family members. Even the design stands out from the crowd, and unlike the Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro it was released with, it lacks an underdisplay fingerprint sensor. The phone does, however, have some decent specs and does impress in every manner a mid-range smartphone should.

Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Key Specs and Features

  • 6.26-inch, IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 1080 x 2280 pixels (403 ppi)
  • Android 8.1 Oreo
  • Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 CPU with 4GB/6GB RAM
  • 64GB/128GB built-in storage space, up to 256GB with a memory card
  • Dual 12MP + 5MP rear camera and a 24MP front camera
  • 4G LTE
  • Fingerprint scanner (rear)
  • 3, 350mAh non removable Li-Po battery

Design and Display

Despite being in the mid-range segment, the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite has a lovely glass body with the same stunning gradient design found on high-end smartphones. To the left, there is an ideal fingerprint scanner and two cameras aligned side by side. Depending on your own preference, colors such as Twilight gold, Dream blue, and Deep Space Gray are available. Despite this, there is still a notch on top of the display, which is surrounded by a thin 7.5mm frame.

Even the Lite version has a huge display, however it isn’t quite as large as the more premium ones. Despite having an LCD panel rather than the more appealing OLED screen, which is also more expensive, it is still a really excellent configuration. The 6.26-inch display, with a resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels, is adequate for a mid-range smartphone.

Battery and Camera

On average usage, the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is a solid powerhouse in the battery sector. With a 3, 500mAh battery, you’ll be good to go till the end of the day. Quick Charge 3.0 on the smartphone makes charging even faster, a step up from the 4.0+ on the Mi 8 Pro.

Because this is a Lite edition, there has been some downscaling of the camera on board. At the mid-range level, the camera package is still fairly impressive. A main 12MP camera and a 5MP secondary sensor are on the back, while a 24MP camera in the notch is on the front.

Hardware and Software

Under the hood of the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite, you’ll find an eight-core chipset. The smartphone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor and includes an Adreno 512 GPU to perform most of the day’s tasks. Furthermore, a 4GB RAM base model with 64GB internal storage is available. As well as a more premium variant with 6GB RAM and 64GB or 128GB of internal storage. It comes pre-loaded with Android 8.1 Oreo and Xiaomi’s MIUI 10.
