Samsung Galaxy S6 edge Super AMOLED display benchmark and color accuracy analysis 2
Performance is also largely similar with the same core hardware inside, but key differences are found in the operating system (this Mi 8 Lite runs MIUI while the Mi A2 has Android One), the display (the Mi 8 Lite has a fractionally larger ‘notch’ display), battery capacity (Mi 8 Lite has more, at 3,350mAh vs 3,010mAh) and cameras (Mi 8 Lite has a better selfie camera, Mi A2 has more megapixels on its primary camera). We would recommend either as top mid-range phones, though the Mi 8 Lite is the better phone by a very slim margin thanks to its extra software features, gorgeous design and longer battery life. Mi 8 Lite Design & Build The Lite comes in three colour options – a standard Midnight Black (reviewed here), and two gorgeous gradients that make this model seem rather boring. There’s a Sunset Gold model which has a pinky, orangey hue, and an Aurora Blue option (pictured above) that moves gently from blue through purple.
We’ve seen only the black and blue options available to buy so far. The mirror-like finish is striking, and the gradient design seems to be the latest trend for Chinese phones, with the recently announced Honor Magic 2 and Huawei Mate 20 Pro both opting for a similar look. A super-slim 7.5mm frame, incredibly slim bezels and 19:9 tall display add to the feeling of this being a premium phone, despite its mid-range price. The Mi 8 Lite has a high 82.5% screen-to-body ratio, and it maximises the presence of its huge 6.26in display with the tiniest Xiaomi screen notch to date – less than 20mm in width. This is the largest panel in the Mi 8 family yet it also has the tallest aspect ratio, which means it’s just 1.5mm taller and 1mm wider than the also announced Mi 8 Pro. And it shaves 0.1mm off the waistline, despite housing a higher-capacity 3,350mAh battery.

This is a 6.26in-screen phone in the body of a 5.5in model, fitting comfortably in the hand. There is a key difference between the screens here, though, which has been necessary to keep down costs. Whereas every other Mi 8 model has an AMOLED panel, known for their incredible vibrancy and saturated colours, the Mi 8 Lite has an IPS panel. But while it’s not quite as good as those flagship models, it’s still very good, and IPS is the technology favoured by all other Xiaomi phones such as the budget Redmi line. It produces realistic colours, good contrast and strong viewing angles.
It has a maximum 450 nits brightness, and claimed contrast ratio of 1500:1. We measured brightness as high as 437 nits in our own tests, which will make it very easily usable in all lighting conditions. The resolution is Full-HD+ (2280×1080 pixels), with a pixel density of 403ppi, and Xiaomi has never gone higher than this in any of its phones. It’s more than adequate for clear images and text on a screen of this size. Looking around the edges of the phone the Mi 8 Lite has a lot in common with its Pro sibling.

With a USB-C port on the bottom there is no 3.5mm headphone jack here, though you do get a 3.5mm- to USB-C adaptor in the retail box. Also gone is the IR blaster found in Xiaomi phones lower down the range. What looks like dual speakers are visible from the bottom of the device, although sound is fired only from the right side of the USB-C port. The Mi 8 Lite has an upgraded DSP algorithm and Mi Sound built-in, and we found audio really rather good for a range of genres.
It’s usefully loud, too. A slot-loading SIM tray at the top left edge can also accept two Nano-SIMs for dual-SIM, dual-standby operation, but unlike the Pro you can swap out one of those SIMs for a microSD card up to 256GB in capacity. Fortunately, with the Mi 8 Lite’s internal storage options as generous as 64- and 128GB you might not be forced to make that decision.
