The Xiaomi Mi8 Lite offers a notch-equipped 6.26-inch 1080p screen with an aspect ratio of 19:9. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660 octa-core chipset and comes in either 4GB or 6GB RAM flavors. There’s 64GB or 128GB of onboard storage which can be expanded with a MicroSD card. The phone comes preloaded with Android 8.1 and Xiaomi’s own custom skin, MIUI. The Mi8 Lite features two camera sensors on the rear — a primary 12-megapixel lens with an aperture of f/1.9 and another 5-megapixel secondary camera for depth-sensing. On the front, you will find a beefed up 24-megapixel snapper for selfies. A rear-mounted fingerprint sensor is available as well but sadly, it lacks its elder sibling’s hardware-based face unlock feature.
