Xiaomi Mi8 Review! – Best Budget Smartphone I Ever Bought, WOW!



Here’s my full review of the Xiaomi Mi8. In my opinion, this is the best budget smartphone I have ever bought and perhaps the best smartphone under $450. It’s got the latest Snapdragon 845 processor, 6GB of RAM(or 8GB if you go for the 128GB model), 6.21-inch Super AMOLED screen(that’s bright as any Samsung/LG), fast performance, dual-SIM, and have killer camera(keeps up to Pixel 2 in both daylight/low-light).

I got this on eBay here:(recommended seller)

If you want to save a few bucks this year on a smartphone that pretty much does everything a flagship does, this is it! Of course, Pocophone could be even better, I should have full unboxing/review of that also.

    I'm a bit confused. I just ordered this phone, and was wondering if it would work on MetroPCS (T-Mobile) , in the United States. You said it does work on T-Mobile, but under the description of the phone it is missing band 4 under the GSM category. But it does have band 4 under fdd-lte and wcdma. I'm not really sure how that works exactly. Any help would be appreciated.

    So wait, will this work in USA on t-mobile/ MetroPCS?

    I'm asking because in the description of the device it says it doesn't have bands 4 under gsm. But it has bands 4 under the others like fdd-lte, and wcdma.

    Any help would be appreciated. As I'm buying this phone tomorrow. And wanna make sure it will work good. Thanks!

    Edit: I know you said you haven't had any issues. But the description confuses me.

    This things crash the title – BEST PHONE IN BUDGET. So.. the version Pro (transparent back) is awesome, BUT I said: Its not good enough – easy to scratchtable, no weather sealed (even iP7 aprox. 4 old years phone have it).
