Chris here and welcome to a Quick and painless comparison between the Xiaomi
Mi 8 and the Mi Mix 2S which is on the left here so these are both flagship
phones from xiaomi they both have the Snapdragon 845, six to
eight gigabytes of RAM 64 gigabytes of ufs 2.1 storage on both of these right
up to 256 neither of these have 3.5 millimeter
headphone jacks or micro SD card slot so performance wise they are really
identical now in terms of design obviously we've got the notch on this
one here we have that slim bezel design we have an earpiece up the top now this
earpiece doubles as a loudspeaker on the Mi 8 it doesn't so we've got the
loudspeakers down the bottom I won't give you a sample in this video I've
gone into a lot of detail with these phones with my unboxing videos but they
both have downwards firing speakers and they sound exactly the same
however sound wise this one wins because the earpiece doubles as a loudspeaker
there as well so slightly better there now the design of them the build quality
of both of these is excellent but you cannot beat the feel of the ceramic back
you get on the mimics to wear so this one to me is a little bit more premium
personal preference of course but I happen to like this design better
because it doesn't have the knotch and it just overall is a smaller footprint
to of fun as you can see there now both of these do come with cases in the box
so we have right here a premium case that comes with a meemic satorious this
fits really well and when it's on the phone it feels almost like one of those
Nokia Lumia phones that the actual case of it feels like part of the phone
so that's a nice quality case and then with the Mi 8 show me chipped out a
little bit and they gave us this TPU style one which is a clear one of course
better than nothing it does offer protection and you've got that straight
out of the box at least you can protect the phone so in terms of build the MI Mix
2's is going to get that when they're obviously a big difference here with the
displays we've got a 5.9 inch IPS panel on the Xiaomi Mi mix 2's whereas the me
eight has a six point - one Samsung AMOLED panel so the blacks
will be deeper on this one here although there is a difference with the glass as
I pointed on some other videos you can probably just make it out you can see
the bezel there then the glass black and when you have a look at the mimics to us
it's not quite as bad but saying that though the colors and the color
reproduction actually turns out to be slightly better on the AMOLED panel as
expected you can see there is some difference here and the viewing angles
are better on the AMOLED panel so clear went out when it comes to screen is I
believe the AMOLED panel on the meet eight so here are the antutu scores and
you can see they're more or less the same and as I mentioned they have the
same chipset the same specs same for the internal storage speed so both ufs 2.1
spec this is very fast for a mobile phone now another similarity is the
battery capacity so 3400 milliamp hours and both of them can achieve around
eight to nine hours of on-screen time both of them take about an hour and 40
minutes or just under to fully charge though they are really the same there
now in terms of camera performance they both have this same sensors and here in
the same exact setup so really camera performance they are very similar but in
my comparison as you can see or so there's an info card popping up right
now so check that out if you're interested
that they did do a camera comparison between these two models and the Mi Mix
2's has an edge it has slightly better and this is due to software update so
obviously it's had more updates more optimization from Xiaomi whereas the Mi 8
is relatively new and eventually the camera performance should be about the
same with the rear cameras but when it comes to the front-facing cameras there
is a big difference here the me8 is clearly superior it also has the camera
in a much better location so it's not down in the chin like we have on the
Mi Mix 2s it's in the knotch and that of course is a more typical location for
the front-facing camera so apart from the front-facing loudspeaker the mimics
2's also has wireless charging it's Xiaomi's first mobile and only
mobile to have this at this point but we do have the
ambient display the always on display on the me eight because it's got the AMOLED
panel shown we are able to give us this feature so to quickly recap here if you
want the always-on display the better display the AMOLED panel then go for the
me eight but it does have a notch if you're not into notches and you don't
mind an IPS panel it's still a very good panel then you have the mimics to s now
the Mi Mix 2S is does have the wireless charging it also has the front-facing
loudspeaker that the me eight lacks both of these have equal performance the same
battery life the same charge times rear cameras they are the same but at this
point in time that the meet mix to s has a slightly better camera processing or
optimization because it's had more firmware updates so very close between
these two models my pic would be the mimics to s for the ceramic build
front-facing loudspeaker and the wireless charging price-wise the me
eight is also slightly cheaper at the time of this video so there we go thank
you so much for watching this quick comparison here between the shell me
Mi Mix 2S and the Mi 8 flagships
