The Mi 8 thus received an overall score of 99 points, offering some improvements in certain areas compared to the previous Mi MIX 2S model, putting it shoulder to shoulder with the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus and ahead of Google Pixel 2 and iPhone X. The Xiaomi Mi 8 was considered by DxOMark to be very strong in the photography category, achieving a very high score of 105 points, thanks to the combination of exposure and contrast, rich colour rendering and fast and precise focusing. The bokeh effect was also well achieved, with blur transitions being classified as smooth. In the video, the rating is no longer as good as in photography, which causes the overall score to stand at 99 points. In the video, it has scored 88 points.
