Review of Xiaomi Mi 8

It's nice to talk about the Xiaomi Mi 8. This model has so much to offer consumers. Most Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 based smartphones are very expensive and Xiaomi Mi 8 has exactly the same. Moreover, it goes hand-in-hand with a high-resolution AMOLED display and notch. It would be unfair not to mention the dual camera with optical stabilization.
