The screen is surrounded by fairly sizeable bezels and a notable chin and notch, but the AMOLED panel at play between the two is nothing short of excellent. The 6.21-inch screen features rounded corners, a Full HD+ resolution and it’s protected by 2.5D Gorilla Glass 5. It’s bright and colourful, displaying excellent contrast, but also boasts reliable viewing angles with only a slight drop-off in brightness and practically zero colour distortion. The panel is also HDR10-compliant and offers a heap of customisability over both the viewing experience and interaction. Related: What is HDR? You can manually configure Night Mode brightness and colour temperature independently of the phone’s standard display settings.
Plus there’s Reading Mode and manual colour and contrast controls if you want to tailor things to your taste. The display is smart, too, with double-tap-to-wake, raise-to-wake and an always-on mode options. But the real party piece is that, unlike the standard Mi 8, the Mi 8 Pro joins a steadily expanding group of smartphones that boast in-display fingerprint sensors. Xiaomi’s implementation is more advanced than the previous-generation technology we saw on 2017’s Huawei Mate RS, for example – factoring in depth data as well.

However, while the feature is unquestionably cool on paper, and more reliable than last year’s efforts, it isn’t without its faults. In comparison to more conventional smartphone fingerprint sensors, the Mi 8 Pro’s in-screen option is slow and, worse still, suffers from a high failure rate. I regularly found that it wouldn’t work if my hands were at all wet, damp or particularly cold. The fact that it’s invisible is somewhat amazing, but it does make it tricky to find when in a banking app, for example – or any other instance that supports fingerprint authentication (although that fact that the Mi 8 Pro’s sensor works with such experiences at all is appreciated). The nature of the sensor also means there’s no gesture support, which is a far minor inconvenience but worth noting all the same.
Then there’s the notch. It isn’t as ugly as the one encroaching on the Pixel 3 XL’s screen, but it’s big, following in the footsteps of the iPhone X by dominating the majority of the top edge of the screen. It features the front-facing camera and an IR camera setup for face-unlock that works even in low light. Despite the technical benefits, though, it remains an eyesore. Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro – Performance Look beyond the faux processor visible on the Pro’s back and inside lies a legitimate Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip, backed up by a generous 8GB of RAM and a respectable 128GB of (non-expandable) storage.

On paper, the phone reads as well as any other high-end 2018 handset, with twice the memory of the Google Pixel 3 and the same top-tier processor as everything from the LG G7 to the Sony Xperia XZ3. In day-to-day use this phone flies; it feels snappy in general operation, launches things quickly and is happy jumping between apps and multitasking – everything you’d expect of a flagship phone. But something isn’t quite right under the hood. When gaming, performance takes a notable hit after just a few minutes, with frame drops that the phone can only recover from if I leave the application, or at the very least pause the game for a few moments. As the results above show, it would seem that Xiaomi just hasn’t optimised the hardware and software as well as on the likes of the OnePlus 6T, with the phone consistently scoring lower than most other top devices currently on the market.
