Unlike Mi 8 and Mi 8 SE, the rear camera of Lite adopts the trendy “iPhone like” design of “iPhone 7/8 Plus”, which is horizontally aligned, and the “iPhone X” style that is now popular. The new “iPhone like” design is different.
However, the placement design of the camera belongs to the metaphysical problem of radish, and everyone has something to do with it.
The Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite features a well-polished metal frame, that is thinner than the 7.5mm thick body. when it comes to the thickness of this device, it has been really defined compared to its brother model.
At the top of the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is seated a mic, but sadly, there is no infrared sensor anymore and the Mi fans have made mention of that. While at the bottom of this device you will see USB Type-C charging interface, a symmetrical design of the speaker and a microphone.

Now, at the front of the front of this device is seated a single 24 MP, 0.9µm. Both the front and back of the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite uses Sony’s flagship sensor. The back camera is IMX363, which is exactly the same as the Xiaomi Mi 8 in the DXO tycoon.
The Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite cameras come with a relatively stable HDR ability, though in the night it seems to be a little bit tempered. It doesn’t over-expose the door lights, which also reduces the brightness of a picture. We suggest they make little improvement.
The 24 MP camera at the front of this device is the largest pixel and it is accompanied by with the highest resolution and to crown it all, it also supports pixel four-in-one technology. The cameras on the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite provides a targeted “micro-shaping” beauty program.

The Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is the first smartphone with the Snapdragon 660 that supports the Vulkan version of “The King’s Glory”. The excess load in the CPU working state can greatly be reduced by the Vulkan.
Also, the Vulkan is better and able to support multi-threaded processing and multi-core CPU, efficient mining of the potential performance of the Snapdragon 660, follow-up, “Fortress Night” and “Jesus Survival: Stimulate the Battlefield”, coupled with other popular mobile games based on its Unreal 4 engine is also expected Join Vulkan.
