The flagship press conference of Xiaomi 8 was held in Shenzhen on May 31, 2018, bringing us a new flagship - Xiaomi 8 series, skipping Xiaomi 7 directly. Xiaomi said that this is a new work for the eighth anniversary of the founding of Xiaomi. This time, three models of Xiaomi 8, Xiaomi 8 transparent exploration version and Xiaomi 8 SE with small screen were provided.

Let's first learn about the most luxurious Xiaomi 8 transparent exploration version. In order to realize the first Android "Face ID" function, Xiaomi 8 transparent exploration version is equipped with a profiled full screen. Xiaomi 8 has become the first Xiaomi "bangs screen" model, which integrates various components of 3D structured light. At the same time, Xiaomi 8 transparent exploration version integrates offline fingerprint recognition, which is also the reason why Xiaomi uses OLED screen (Samsung AMOLED) for the first time in this series. In view of the problem of multiple scanning of offline fingerprint, Xiaomi triggers by adding pressure sensors to achieve better power consumption and recognition effect. Because the on-site experience time is relatively short, the two new functions cannot be thoroughly experienced. You can pay attention to our detailed evaluation later.

The SoC of Xiaomi 8 transparent exploration version has chosen Snapdragon 845 without any doubt. Xiaomi 8 transparent exploration version only provides one version of 8G+128G, and the score is quite crazy. The press conference directly said that the "optimized" score of Anthare has exceeded 300000, which is the highest among all the current Snapdragon 845 models. Xiaomi said that Xiaomi 8/Xiaomi 8 transparent exploration version is the world's first dual frequency dual channel GPS positioning model, which can achieve ultra-high precision positioning accuracy.

The camera part uses the same 12 million+12 million dual camera combination as the MIX 2S. DxO Mark scored 99 points and the photography project scored 105 points, which is further than the previous MIX 2S. The main camera CMOS is IMX363, and the sub camera S5K3M3. Front 20 million, supporting 4-in-1 pixels. Through AI blessing, AI zoom dual camera, AI studio light effect and AI micro plastic beauty are realized, which enriches photography functions and effects.

The biggest difference between the Xiaomi 8 transparent exploration version and the ordinary version is the design of the back - the "backless" transparent back cover is used, the battery is a sticker with carbon fiber lines, and the SoC has the logo of Qualcomm Snapdragon. The design of this version is similar to the purpose of the previous Xiaomi 6 bright silver exploration version. As for whether you like it or not, we have different opinions. It is worth noting that in the description of Xiaomi's official website: Xiaomi 8 transparent exploration version, the components displayed on the back do not correspond to the real components.

Of course, in addition to the special transparent exploration version of Xiaomi 8, Xiaomi also provides the ordinary version of Xiaomi 8, which also uses the bangs screen design to maintain the round R angle. It is equipped with the same 6.21 inch Samsung AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2248x1080. The design of four curved glass+metal middle frame is similar to the previous Xiaomi 6.
Different from the transparent exploration version, the infrared lighting element and infrared camera are added to the Xiaomi 8's bangs, which enables the unlocking of infrared face recognition, but the "Face ID" and fingerprint recognition under the screen are gone, so the bangs are slightly different from the transparent exploration version of Xiaomi 8.

The Xiaomi 8 processor maintains the Snapdragon 845, and provides three versions, namely, 6G+64G, 6G+128G, and 6G+256G. The version without 8G memory should be designed to keep up with its own MIX 2S.

Because there is no "Face ID" and off screen fingerprint, Xiaomi 8 adopts the design of post fingerprint recognition, which is similar to the design of Xiaomi MIX 2S. However, in terms of volume control, Xiaomi 8 is better than the MIX 2S. If you don't like Liu Haiping, Xiaomi also provides a hidden design in the system. Mr. Lei especially said that although everyone thought it was a bit ugly, they would not feel ugly if they saw too much.

As a younger brother, the Xiaomi 8 SE has made some changes while maintaining most of the design of Xiaomi 8. First, the screen has shrunk to 5.88 inches. It is still the AMOLED screen provided by Samsung, with a resolution of 2244x1080. PPI has more advantages than Xiaomi 8. In terms of the design of the R corner, the Xiaomi 8 SE becomes more robust, not as smooth as the Xiaomi 8 or the transparent exploration version of Xiaomi 8.

Xiaomi 8 SE is the same as Xiaomi 8 in terms of post fingerprint recognition. Compared with Xiaomi 8 in terms of processor, it has achieved the world's first Qualcomm Snapdragon 710. President Lei even directly said at the press conference that Xiaomi used to like to polish 625 and 660, but it should be polishing 710 in the future (laugh).

For the Xiaomi 8 series released this time, which one do you plan to start with? Or turn around and buy the MIX 2S?
