Although Xiaomi officially said that the transparent exploration version of Xiaomi 8 was the first to use Face ID (3D Structured light technology), but in fact, the transparent exploration version of Xiaomi 8, which was released on May 31, did not officially go on sale until July 30, and it was still in the form of panic buying. Judging from the average price of salted fish and the market price increase of Huaqiangbei, for most people who participated in the panic buying, the panic buying failed.

Compared with Xiaomi 8 (6+128GB version), the transparent exploration version of Xiaomi 8 not only has more fingerprints under the pressure sensitive screen and 3D structured light system, but also has a transparent back cover and decorative motherboard that make the machine look more scientific and technological, and also has 2GB more memory in hardware parameters. For users who can buy them at the original price, they only need to spend an additional 699 yuan to get them. It is profitable to buy them for their own use at the original price, and it is profitable to buy salted fish at the original price. The cost performance ratio is still the biggest selling point of this Xiaomi flagship.

Regardless of the transparent back cover of the transparent exploration version of Xiaomi 8, the design of this machine in other places is basically the same as that of Xiaomi 8, including the layout of body keys, interface openings, etc.

Through the transparent back cover, users can clearly see the decorative motherboard, batteries, screws and other parts inside the fuselage.

When many users learned that the main board of Xiaomi 8 transparent exploration version was not the real main board, they felt cheated at the first time. But in fact, Xiaomi does it for a reason. First of all, if the real motherboard is placed in such an external position and its ornamental value is taken into consideration, its cooling design will be sacrificed. For a flagship machine, defects in the cooling system will directly affect the user experience; Secondly, this motherboard perspective design, in fact, has no practical value. To put it plainly, it is beautiful and compelling. No one will care whether your naked "Snapdragon 845" is a real SoC in operation. Whether it is a real object or a model, it lies there quietly.

This perspective motherboard uses all copper as the base plate, with steel plate reinforcement, and is configured with 11 sensors, 32 resistors, 6 switch ICs, 7 model control ICs, and 101 capacitors.

Unlike Xiaomi 8, the power button of the transparent exploration version uses a red color scheme.

The metal middle frame of the transparent exploration version adopts a process similar to "bright black", which is very shiny.

Since the transparent Discovery version is equipped with 3D structured light technology, users can see that its bangs are densely covered with various sensors.

The biggest difference between the front design of the transparent exploration version and the Xiaomi 8 is that the row of sensors in the middle of Liu Haizhong is densely packed. The chin and frame at the bottom of the sensor are the same as those of the Xiaomi 8.

Xiaomi 8 Transparent Discovery is a product rich in technology from the inside out. In the era of face ID and offline fingerprint, the answer is "I want both". While the hardware configuration is powerful, we also don't forget to dazzle the technology. Although the exposed decorative motherboard looks virtual, the effect is also achieved. At the price of 3699 yuan, the transparent exploration version of Xiaomi 8 is indeed impeccable, but its problem is still that "it cannot be bought at the original price".
