Snapdragon 845 still holds up well for everyday use and gaming, and the Mi 8 pairs it with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, or 6GB RAM with 64/128/256GB options. That's matched with a 6.21-inch Super AMOLED screen at 1080 x 2248 resolution, so text and video look sharp for a phone in this range.

On the back there's a dual 12MP setup, the main sensor uses OIS for steadier low-light shots, alongside a second 12MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. Xiaomi Mi 8 price in Malaysia starts from RM899, and power comes from a 3400mAh battery, modest by today's standards but reasonable for the screen size. A rear fingerprint sensor and NFC round out the practical side.
