We’ve explained how to install Google Play on a Xiaomi phone here. An exception here is the Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite, which are identical in design and specification to the Mi 6X and Redmi 6 Pro but running Android One rather than MIUI. Best Xiaomi Phone Reviews 1. Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro At £499 the Mi 8 Pro is an incredible buy, undercutting every rival flagship phone in the UK – and now that Xiaomi phones are easily available in the UK, there’s no reason not to consider it. With powerful performance, decent cameras, some genuinely useful software, a fancy in-display fingerprint sensor and a cool transparent back cover, this is a great all-rounder at a fantastic price.

2. Xiaomi Mi8 Astonishing value, insane performance, awesome photography, a larger than ever 18.7:9 AMOLED display and a cool 3D Face recognition feature are all reasons why you should rush out and buy the Mi 8. Right now it costs just £438.33/US$569.99/€490.20 from GearBest, which is several hundred pounds cheaper than many of the phones with which it competes. We’re sad to see Xiaomi not keeping up with its rivals in terms of wireless charging, waterproofing and a Quad-HD screen, and that the highly anticipated in-display fingerprint is unique to the Explorer Edition, but at this price we can hardly complain. Amazing phone, highly recommended.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Swapping out the awkwardly placed selfie camera with a dual-lens model that is tucked away behind the screen, the Mi Mix 3 is one of several slider phones that shows how the concept should work. Not only allowing a proper full-screen display, but adding quick-access functionality to the phone. In other respects Mi Mix 3 is not a huge upgrade over the 2S, and actually loses some of its bling over its predecessor with the absence of its 18K gold camera surround. But it’s still a great phone, available at an incredible price, and it’s astonishing to see just how far the original full-display phone has come.

We’ve tested the Chinese model, since Mi Mix 3 won’t be officially announced in the UK until Q1 2019. We’d advise holding out for the UK version (which may be a little more expensive) or looking for a Global ROM model, though the only major difference is that here you must install Google services yourself. We’re also interested to see what happens with the dedicated Mi AI button – will Xiaomi announce a UK version, or will it integrate with Google Assistant?

A 5G version will also be announced in early 2019. Read our Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 review. 4. Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S The original full-display smartphone is evolving into something really special. Now with wireless charging, faster performance and a dual-camera that builds in AI, the Mi Mix 2S is a closer rival to western flagships than ever – and at a fraction of the price. The Mi Mix 2S majors on performance and design.

With its ceramic, mirror-finish case and 18:9 display it looks and feels incredible in the hand. With full Google services the Xiaomi is easy to recommend, although it’s not ideal for selfie and audio fanatics with a poorly positioned front camera and a mono speaker that doesn’t make up for the lack of a headphone jack. Battery life could also be better, and we’d like to see the company finally take the plunge with a Quad-HD display and waterproofing.
