Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro - User Reviews

  • I was loving this phone until I tried to cast a movie onto my smart tv, what a nightmare my Huawei mate 10 pro was just so easy. I'm thinking it's miui bloody rubbish.....

  • Is it better than Huawei p30 lite?

  • is it available in nepal

  • absolutely NOT

  • Is Mi 8 pro 5G Supported?

  • full LTE on both cards and VoLTE also. so your question's answer is yes

  • No no Wireless charging for global version

  • Is Mi 8 pro capable wireless charging?

  • Please, Mi 8 Pro got notification failure?

  • Which one is better the mi 8 or the mate 10 pro?

  • you're right! and left!

  • My Huawei mate 10 pro was the best phone I've ever had, not anymore purchased this because of Donald trump and all the rubbish surrounding the Huawei ban and future updates. This phone is sick..... Fast , good battery and amazing operating system miui is the best. Thanks Donald

  • Does anyone know if this has 4g calling please

  • good phone and quick i love it and despite what the specs say about the battery it still lasts for ages and its quick charge, plus i haven't found a game that will slow it down

  • This device has one of the best battery life that I know. It is so beautiful, and lasts so long. A full charge is longer than a whole day. For my phone usage, that is a miracle.

  • Is This a Fake? Specs? or? because of the chip set Snapdragon 845 its good yes and Why is it the battery life rate is 3000mAh? we thought its 4000mAh?

  • think so

  • Is this the same as the mi 8 plus ?

  • Worth noting that navigation gestures (specifically 'swipe from the edge') conflict with hamburger-menu sidebars on the left side of some applications (you have to reach to the upper part of the screen to slide it out instead of performing a gesture - super uncomfortable) and swiping keyboards (e.g. GBoard - closes the text entry when you try to swipe the text starting from the letter on either side).

  • also a more expensive

  • At times when I’m walking to a meeting or standing in the lift, I can quickly scroll through my lockscreen and get my updates for the day.

  • OnePlus is way better

  • Because of UD FP scanner

  • oneplus 6T for sure.

  • Is the camera of the mi 8 pro better then the oneplus 6t or is the oneplus 6t better?

  • Why battery on Mi 8 Pro 3000mAh is smaller than older version Mi 8 3400mAh ?

  • Very small battery, no Fm radio, no SD card, no 3.5 jack. thanks xiaomi, redmi series is better.

  • It works really well.

  • Nah...the original standard model has better battery

  • Battery on this "PRO" version is worse than regular Mi 8, chinese logic 10/10 lol

  • because sd845 is built on 10nm node which is more battery efficient compared to sd660 built on 14nm.

  • OnePlus 6t for 550$

  • Yo guys I’m looking for a new phone under 600$. Which one should I buy? Mi 8 Pro? If so, does it really go 60fps on the camera? Mrwhosetheboss’ video said it’s only 30fps. Which phone do you guys recommend? Nubia X? Mi 8 Pro or Mi Mix 3? Nubia has no Android OS software update support but Xiaomi does... please help me suggest. Any other phones rather than these 3, feel free to help me.

  • Mi 8 pro specification and feature are considered except battery capacity. Why did Xiaomi offer battery capacity smaller than Mi 8 & Mi 8 lite ? This is a weakness point.

  • mi 8 have better battery??

  • Does somebody know if it comes to Europe?

  • Yes. It features a scheduled auto power-on or off at a specific time everyday or on select days.

  • Firstly you should create a Xiaomi account Then login to Xiaomi website and submit an unlock request to Xiaomi then wait 3 days to get approval Then unlock the device using Xiaomi unlock software Then flash a TWRP recovery The using TWRP you can install a global stable rom which you can download from Xiaomi global forum

  • How can I update Miui10 Chinese stable rom to Miui10 global stable rom of mi8 UD phone.

  • SnapdSnapdragon 845 that's amazing 💜

  • No problems at all with the battery. Get around 6-7 sot over a 36h period. I think that is totally acceptable.

  • if you want a bigger battery, expect bigger prices. This a very feature packed phone as you can see. Sacrifices needed to be made.

  • Why the battery so small ? Only 3000mAh. Can the phone last for half a day before recharging ? Such a big phone with a disappointing BATTERY.

  • yup ..not satisfied with battery

  • Ugly notch!!

  • The battery should be 4000 maAh lah

  • I wonder how well under the screen fingerprint reader works... I can't stand phones with fingerprint reader on the back. It's so stupid when phone is pn the desk and you need to lift it up to use it.

  • Why no micro sd card

  • Bring back 3.5 asap Will not buy a phone without it.

  • Actually its a 3400, and it last forever!!! Love this phone!!

  • Yes

  • Xiaomi camera out

  • Come on, 3000 mAh battery?

  • I have watched an unboxing video for this phone and it says the front camera only 5mp. Is it true?

  • No Stereo Speaker in 2018. What Xiaomi Idiots Build This Phones?

  • is this one equipped function like Auto on Auto off?(for instance 7am on 10PM off)

  • guys, sd845 feature will save your battery usage up to 30%.. but i'm ageed that 3000mah is to small. at least 3500mah-4000mah.

  • When it's realese in Indonesia

  • Maybe bro, it is more battery effiecient. Some people want super performance than super battery .well if you want super battery, go find energizer power max.

  • PRO with LESS battery ? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING ??? Why phone manufacturers seem clueless about what people want ?

  • When it's releasing IN India

  • They do not offer anything better than the competition

  • Totally agree and worse without FM Radio

  • It's a good phone but it has two critical flaws: Without FM radio and with such a small battery? it falls short of competition. Pity because I had bought it in Latin America.

  • Is the phone is compatible in razer charger quick charge 4.0?

  • Is this phone really a quickcharge 4.0+?

  • wen this going to launch in india

  • so you can buy mi powerbank

  • yyyy mi is giving a battery back up upto 3000mh y it is not 5000mh

  • Difference: Fingerprint under display, more colours, better camera (mi 8: 2160p/30fps, mi 8 pro: 2160p/60fps)

  • Suspecting yet another version of Mi8 Pro+ around the corner(around 530 EUR), with amped up battery... Especially after initial cry outs from buyers complaining about insufficient battery life..

  • By Xiaomi, Explorer Edition will update OTA and Fingerprint recognition speed as same as 8 Pro.

  • there is nearly none, expect global rom and more colours.

  • i want yet violet twilight color version of Mi8 pro- back cover and 256gb option-version! pls xiaomi do that for us!!!

  • fingerprint sensor on the display....xiaomi kinda misfired with its flagship phone...it wasn't such a big thing as the MI 3 back then....seems they don't know where to go now....probably this is why they created 5 versions....lol...with an outdated battery life...no comment...

  • Pro only 8/128 GB

  • fingerprint (under display)

  • can't find the difference between mi 8 pro and mi 8 except the price. can anyone tell?

  • Do any of the current available Xiaomi phones support high resolution audio (like - 32-bit/192kHz audio etc)? I can not find this information. Neither in the specification here nor on any Xiaomi sites.

  • 3000 mAH battery lmao. That's just sad.

  • explorer has 3d faceId, pro only infrared camera

  • no 3.5 mm jack. no sd card slot. poor battery

  • With wireless charging and a larger battery, it would have been a solid product and a purchase for me.

  • Can somebody help to explain. What is the difference between mi8 pro vs mi8 explorer??

  • 3000 mAh battery? Xiaomi, why?

  • with QC 4.0 + it will be recharged in under 75 mins so no need for big pack

  • 3000mah battery???? (Under 4000mah I do not buy)

  • No band 28(700) Xiaomi why? And am not sure it's VoLTE ready. Xiaomi

  • wtf actually , 3000mah battery in this beast ,it is a shame .....

  • And still no Band 28. What were they thinking?

  • horrible phone

  • Will it available in India, If yes, then when??? ..

  • seriously! it should be more than 480 i think!

  • Ok thanks

  • ok,thanks

  • No headphone jack, no SD Card slot, no radio, small battery, it costs 400€ and it is a Chinese phone, this is not a good phone for that price

  • mi 8 pro only updates in display fingerprint and make the battery smaller.. better go for mi 8 and save at least 100 dollar.

  • No 3d facial on this version

  • Low Battery and not launching on latest Android Version. Pathetic.

  • Does the Mi 8 Pro have 3d facial scanning like the Mi 8 explorer edition or does it just have the infra red facial scanning like the normal Mi 8?

  • 3000 mAh won't last a day

  • Wtf? Literally no difference from the Mi 8 other than the smaller battery, which is obviously a downgrade from the Mi 8 yet is $100 more expensive. What is even the point of this release....

  • It's not dual selfie camera bro. It's some sensors for the face unlock

  • A perfect dimensions and excellent phone for me but poor battery. Also I don't know who is advising Xiaomi to omit the 3.5mm Jack and SD card slot in all their premium phones.

  • But it's much more expensive

  • I feel there is not much differences with the Explorer Edition.

  • dual selfie camera ? in picture dual camera and in specification one selfie camera ?

  • 3000 mah this is shit

  • That it has infrared face recogninition, not 3D like in Explorer Edition

  • What's the point of releasing the pro version if it does not have the infrared and the battery is still in the range of 3000-3300 mAh. The huawei P20 pro has a much lager battery capacity and infrared which is very useful

  • What is the difference between this and Mi 8 other than UD scanner? And also battery is downgraded. Anyway the red color is fantastic.

  • So whats the difference between pro and explorer edition?

  • 3000mAh-ish batteries is the past...slim but useless.

  • price is just right for the spec dont complain to much hehe, buy pocof1 without amoled but bigger battery and 3.5jack instead.

  • Was looking to upgrade from a Mi6 but as others have pointed out the battery is rather small with no IP rating and for me personally the fact that there is no IR Blaster means I will stick with my Mi6.

  • not sure if Xiaomi is so sure about it's battery performance endurance with a mere 3000 mAH juice pack. if battery compromise is an inverse proportion to design, then it's nothing short of sucicide.. Sorry #Mi8(true legend to be missed), RIP #Mi8 Pro... And.. More importantly, Welcome#1+6T

  • with 3000 mAH, it could've been better suffixed as 'Pre' than 'Pro'

  • Xiaomi is launching a new phone each month! you jaust can´t keep pace with so many new models!

  • Xiaomi, I was only waiting for the IP rating in this phone and I buy it. Kinda sad already.

  • Poor battery, with 6.2" only 3000mAh? You are kidding!!!!

  • No jack no problem and this phone dont have it. Only problem is battery compared to huge screen.

  • Rather they should improve battery jack is Meh.

  • wow that notch is huge....

  • Xiaomi will realize how is the 3.5mm important when they find people buying their phones that have 3.5mm jac or other phones from another brand .

  • Oh man what's the point of Pro name in this Mi 8 variant ? Some upgrade and some downgrade.. 😒

  • It's sunrise gold for the third colour option

  • Damn no bigger battery no ip68 why the hell u name this pro xiaomi??????

  • IP68?!!! :(

  • Is there any other differences from Mi 8 besides in-display FPS?

  • Now THIS is a Chinese phone worth buying! Camera specs are very impressive!

  • Shame it's not 6.5"

  • Xiaomi started "printing" notch phones without microSD and 3.5mm jack. Like we get it, copy apple but atleast give us something basic as 3.5mm jack?!
