The Xiaomi Mi 8 has been slated to launch by the end of this month, and the phone has been given the title of ‘flagship killer’. The device which will advance the Mi series by Xioami will be the successor to Mi 6 which the company launched previously. The flagship killer title has long been held by another Chinese company, OnePlus. The brand has been known to compete with the likes of premium phones from brands like Samsung. However, another entrant to this race is the recently announced Asus ZenFone 5Z which will start selling on Flipkart on July 9th. Asus and OnePlus have both taken the lead in this race by launching ahead of Mi 8. However, Xiaomi with its attractive price point and a more enhanced brand image might bring fierce competition to this segment.

Below we present five reasons as to how the Xiaomi Mi 8 can be a threat to Asus Zenfone 5Z and OnePlus 6.
Camera
When it comes to the front camera, the Xiaomi Mi 8 is going to live up to its expectations by featuring a 20MP front shooter. While the front camera on OnePlus is a 16MP lens and the one on the Asus ZenFone 5Z remains another underwhelming performer by just featuring an 8MP shooter, the Xiaomi Mi 8 is going to blaze past these two phones concerning image quality of the front camera. To add to the image quality, the front camera of the Mi 8 comes with AI image enhancement to deliver crisper images.
Right now, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 is the leading SoC when it comes to powering flagship phones; the Xiaomi Mi 8 is also making its entry as one of the few phones sporting this popular top-end chipset. For graphics, there is the Adreno 630 octa-core processor. Combined with the 6GB RAM, the phone matches the level of OnePlus 6 and the Asus ZenFone 5Z. Given its specifications, the device is going to be almost identical in terms of performance when compared with its close competitors.
