Last month Xiaomi announced the Mi 8 Lite as a more
affordable option of its flagship series, but the phone was introduced only on
the Chinese market. It eventually made its way to Ukraine and now Donovan Sung,
global spokesperson of the company, said on Twitter France is also getting the
Lite variant of the Mi 8 and other markets will follow soon.
The device was initially introduced in a gradient
Twilight Gold, Dream Blue, and a more clean Deep Space Gray colors. It looks
like all three options will hit the global scene since Sung is preparing us for
“some colorful mixes”.
The device arrived initially in three memory
configurations - 4/64 GB, 6/64 GB, and 6/128 GB. Prices were respectively
CNY 1,399, CNY 1,699, and CNY 1,999. This translates from US$ 205/€ 175 to US$ 290/€ 250,
but we expected slightly higher price in Europe and other markets after taxes
and import duites are levied.
