However, there have been many users saying the Xiaomi Mi 8 is a good model but the most classic smartphone of Xiaomi is the Mi 6. What’s interesting, Lei Jun supported them. In other words, he agrees that though the Xiaomi Mi 8 is the most affordable flagship handset, the Mi 6 still remains the most classic device.
As you know, the lowest price of the Xiaomi Mi 8 is currently at the company’s official mall. Its 6+64GB variant is sold for 2099 yuan ($310). But at the same time, Xiaomi has announced the Mi 8 will be the last annual flagship of the manufacturer that costs around 2000 yuan. So probably there will be many smartphone users that will decide to keep their Mi 8 instead of buying a new model at a way higher price tag.
