1, appearance. Xiaomi 8 is a popular design scheme of Liu Haiping at present. Because of the control cost of Android, the chin has not been removed, and Xiaomi 8 has wider bangs (similar to iPhoneX) because of the addition of infrared identification module. Xiaomi MIX2S adopts the ancestral full-screen design of Xiaomi MIX series, which is the closest design to true full-screen at present. Personally, I think Xiaomi MIX2S looks better, but it varies from person to person. In addition, Xiaomi 8 adopts large R angle design and secondary glass, which is more rounded. Xiaomi MIX2S is made of secondary precision ceramics, which is slightly tough, but feels good. You can go to Xiaomi's home to experience it for yourself.
2. hardware.
① Xiaomi 8 has added an infrared camera recognition module, which means that it can still pass face recognition with high accuracy in all-black environment, while Xiaomi MIX2S only supports face unlocking in lighting environment. In addition, Xiaomi 8 also has an exploratory version, which supports screen pressure-sensitive fingerprint unlocking and 3D structured light Face ID. This model is expected to be available in late July.
② Xiaomi MIX2S supports Qi7.5w wireless fast charging, and various wireless chargers of Qi standard on the market can be adapted (only the exclusive version of Xiaomi wireless charger is given, other versions need to be purchased by yourself, 99 yuan). The line charger supports QC3.0, Xiaomi 8 does not support wireless charging, but supports QC4.0 (in fact, 3.0 is enough).
③ The exclusive edition of Xiaomi MIX2S supports the global frequency band, and the communication in 226 countries and regions around the world can be guaranteed. Xiaomi 8 did not.
④ Xiaomi 8 is the world's first mobile phone supporting dual-channel GPS, with more accurate positioning and navigation. Xiaomi MIX2S has only one band of GPS.
3. configuration. Both phones are equipped with Qualcomm's flagship chip Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, so the performance is basically the same. However, judging from the official running score data, Xiaomi 8 seems to be a little higher, and the actual experience should be similar. In addition, the configuration of Xiaomi MIX exclusive edition is as high as 8G+256G, which is also the highest-end memory configuration.
4. camera. The two mobile phones use the same hardware rear camera module, both of which are DxO percentile cameras, and the difference between them is only one point. They are already the best cameras in the world except Huawei P20, and they all support AI intelligence to improve the photographing effect. In addition, Xiaomi 8 supports AI "micro-shaping" beauty, studio mode and other effects, and Xiaomi MIX2S supports AI fantasy blur and other effects. It doesn't make much difference if you don't just need to take pictures.
The above is basically the main difference between the two, and the rest are basically the same, such as supporting full-featured NFC, supporting the global "Little Love Classmate" voice assistant and so on. Unfortunately, neither of these phones supports infrared remote control.
In addition, Xiaomi 8 Exploratory Edition only changed the rear fingerprint into screen fingerprint unlocking, infrared face recognition into a safer and more accurate Face ID (pioneered by Android) supporting 3D structured light, and the back cover became transparent. Other parameters are basically the same as Xiaomi 8.
