There are some drawbacks, such as the old Micro-USB port, lack of Quick Charge support and partly plastic build, but in other respects budget phones don’t come much better than this. Read our Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 review. ONNOVEMBER 27 "XIAOMI MI 8 LITE REVIEW" Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Review Belonging to Xiaomi’s flagship Mi 8 family but with a lower spec and more affordable price, the Mi 8 Lite has a lot to offer the mid-range smartphone market. At last Xiaomi’s phones are officially available in the UK, and along with the Mi 8 Pro (reviewed) this Lite version is one of the first to launch here. Also see: Best Xiaomi Deals Mi 8 Lite Price & UK availability Following a China launch in September the Mi 8 Lite officially launched in London on 8 November 2018. There are two models of the Mi 8 Lite, with the 4GB RAM, 64GB storage model (reviewed here) retailing at £259, and the 6GB RAM, 128GB storage model retailing at £279. You can buy the Mi 8 Lite directly from the Mi UK store (or in branch at its outlet in London’s Westfield Shopping Centre), or from UK vendors such as Amazon, Argos and eBuyer.
At the time of writing eBuyer has the cheapest price at £224.97. You will find the Mi 8 Lite cheaper in China. The 4GB RAM model currently costs £214.11 at GearBest, while the 6GB RAM version is cheaper still thanks to a flash sale at £206.18. However, remember that when you factor in import duty (20% of the value on the shipping paperwork) the difference is not so great. And buying within the UK from an approved stockist you will have an easier ride should something go wrong with your purchase. That said, we thoroughly recommend GearBest, but advise you to purchase a ‘Global’ model else you will need to install Google Play services yourself and it may lack support for 800MHz (Band 20) 4G LTE (of major importance only if you’re on a network that relies solely on this band for 4G, such as O2, GiffGaff and Sky Mobile). Should I buy the Mi 8 Lite or Mi A2? There is very little difference in price between this Mi 8 Lite and the Mi A2 (reviewed).

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.
