Xiaomi 8, or AI and camera polishing
Xiaomi 8, Xiaomi has struggled for 8 years. Xiaomi is one of the few flagship manufacturers that has no jump numbers, and then Xiaomi 7 has been skipped... The new machine provides bright blue, white, black, champagne gold color matching, or Wu Yifan is the spokesperson. Samsung AMOLED Liu Haiping (close to the previous 5.5 inch mobile phone) with a resolution of 2248 * 1080 and a resolution of 6.21 "18.7:9, claims a maximum brightness of 600 nits, has an AOD information screen display (even the orthodox flagship of Xiaomi doesn't use an LCD screen anymore...), and a 3400 mAh battery.
Face unlocking without 3D structured light in this version still uses back fingerprint. But like the vivo X21 screen fingerprint version, with infrared face unlocking, darkness can also be unlocked. The configuration is still Snapdragon 845, which has been specially optimized by Qualcomm and has exceeded 300000 points for the first time (provided in the development version). The launch conference made great efforts to promote dual band GPS and support L1+L5, which can achieve faster and more accurate positioning (but did not say power consumption).
Xiaomi has just announced the establishment of a special camera department, and Xiaomi 8 uses the same camera module as the MIX 2S, and the optical shake proof IMX363+telephoto S5K3M3. But the front end is stronger, upgraded to 20 million pixels, supports 4 in 1 "merging" to 1.8 microns (0.9 microns per pixel?), F2.0 aperture, and has the AI single shot virtualization and micro shaping functions mentioned above.
Xiaomi claims to have polished the camera algorithm. In the end, DxOMark scored 105 points for taking photos, surpassing iPhone X and only following Huawei P20 Pro, HTC U12+and Huawei P20. In terms of AI, there are still AI scenarios; Joined the AI studio lighting effect, claiming that the iPhone is still far from Xiaomi; There are AI short videos; Micro plastic beauty.
