A pure iPhone X body replica?
So when Xiaomi unveiled their their Mi 8 explorer edition and gave test unite to various famous YouTubers and other people everybody had mixed reactions for this device. So let's discuss about this handset itself. First of all it ships with the SD845 which when coupled with 6GB of ram is literally a beast. Then has super AMOLED display so you can get sharp, accurate and vibrant colours on the screen, then it supports Qualcomm fast charging which is (quick charge 4.0), then at the primary side it has 12+12 megapixel camera and 20 megapixel front camera for those selfie obsessed people and lastly the most hot topic about this phone is that it has a transparent back body. Which really looks cool and you can itself see the hardware components. Which defiantly can impress geeks. Then this device also ships with some flaws like it doesn't have the micro SD card slot, then what Xiaomi is famous for no FM radio app as usual don't know why they don't include FM radio app. It has android Oreo so you guys would be thinking why writing it in negative part. So it has MiUi 10. So I am a stock android fan. Because MiUi is a heavy UI android skin I really don't like MiUi. But it is my own personal opinion so don't count it and lastly to conclude something the design this time Xiaomi really made everyone upset. because it is purely inspired from iPhone X they didn't even made any change plus notch is also same as iPhone X because it to has many sensors in it and yes Mi 8, Mi 8 SE and Mi 8 explorer edition are the first Xiaomi Phones with notch. Overall a very good phone let's wait what is its price in India.
