Filipinos will soon be able to enjoy the features of Xiaomi’s Mi 8 series as the Mi Lite and Mi 8 Pro will soon be available in the Philippines.
With 24 megapixels, the front-facing Sony IMX576 sensor on Mi 8 Lite is able to capture more detailed shots. In low light conditions, the sensor uses Super Pixel technology to combine the information of four pixels into one large pixel, resulting in improved clarity especially in indoor scenarios. As with Mi 8, the rear AI dual camera uses the Sony IMX363 as its main sensor, which comes with 1.4µm large pixels for images with less noise, along with Dual Pixel Autofocus to dramatically improve focusing speeds so you won’t miss your shot.
The high-performance camera hardware is paired with Xiaomi’s advanced AI features, including a new option that applies retouches to achieve a nude makeup look. Meanwhile, the Mi 8 Lite display can light up in different colors to suit different scenarios when taking selfies, intelligently illuminating the face with the right color temperature for great-looking selfies.
Mi 8 Lite is powered by the Qualcomm SnapdragonTM 660 SoC with the powerful Qualcomm Artificial Intelligence Engine (AIE). Mi 8 Lite also adopts Xiaomi’s new Mi Sound feature with an upgraded DSP (digital signal processing) algorithm for all-around audio improvement.
Meanwhile for the Mi 8 Pro, the dedicated pressure sensor only activates the unlocking process once you place your finger on the screen, a quicker and more power-efficient alternative to other in-display fingerprint technologies.
Mi 8 Lite and Mi 8 Pro will be available at Mi Authorized Stores soon. Mi 8 Lite will come in Aurora Blue and Midnight Black in two versions: 4GB+64GB for Php 13,990 and 6GB+128GB for P16,990. Meanwhile, Mi 8 Pro 6GB+128GB will be available in Transparent Titanium for P32,990.
