Key specs
Critic consensus
“Sure, it's not a perfect product. Some aspects still need improving such as battery life, but we do appreciate the great build and generally solid camera experience. Most of the issues with the latter can be easily overlooked by the general user or even solved with a bit more tinkering with the camera options.”
“The system performance of the Mi 8 Lite is superb and on the same level as the rest of the competition. The cameras also deliver a very good image quality. Unfortunately, there is no NFC chip, which is why the smartphone cannot use services such as Google Pay. Those who do not need a 3.5-mm headphone jack and are satisfied with USB 2.0 speeds are not going to be able to get a better smartphone for 270 Euros (~$307).”
“The Mi 8 Lite is an incredible-value mid-range phone, with a good all-round spec and an attractive design. There's very little separating it and the Mi A2, but we prefer the design of the Mi 8 Lite and the extra software features MIUI brings.”
“This is a good-looking phone that doesn't feel like it's lacking in build quality. You also get a good level of spec for the money compared to some immediate rivals.”
