Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite

Xiaomi has released two mid-range smartphones in the Mi 8 lineup: first, the Mi 8 SE, and now the Mi 8 Lite. Let’s try to establish which one is better than the others.
From a design standpoint, the Mi 8 Lite is pretty much what you’d expect to see in a new smartphone – with glass panels on the front and back. The rounded corners create a sharp edge where the front glass meets the side glass panels. The fingerprint reader is rear mounted and, as you would expect from Xiaomi, it is blazing fast and consistent. One handed use is slightly difficult with the slippery glass, and Xiaomi provides a silicone cover to address this. There is no IP rating for water and dust resistance, which forces you to be on alert with your phone close to water.
