Critic consensus
“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 fingerprint sensor and the inconsistent MIUI 10, there's still a very good phone underneath with a surprisingly low price tag.”
“Xiaomi's Mi 8 Pro is a competent flagship-class smartphone that should give other vendors operating in the £400-£500 price band pause for thought. This sector was competitive before Xiaomi showed up, and it's even more competitive now.”
“With powerful performance, decent cameras, some genuinely useful software, a fancy in-display fingerprint sensor and a cool transparent back cover, this is a great all-rounder at a fantastic price.”
“Spend any time with the Mi 8 Pro, and you'll wonder why Xiaomi has been so hesitant to launch in the UK: it really is a fantastic phone. But a perfect one? Not quite. Sure, the skinny screen bezels, in-display fingerprint sensor and transparent rear panel add up to a design that's comfortably on par with the iPhone XS. The cameras take excellent photos, and performance is up there with the best 2018 flagships.”
