A few days ago, Apple officially released three iPhones: iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR. Now, many Chinese manufacturers are already comparing what they have coming to the new iPhones. At the end of the Apple conference, Xiaomi Mobile officially released a comparison of Xiaomi Mi 8 Youth Edition and the iPhone (version not specifies). From the poster, the Xiaomi Mi 8 Youth Edition will be available a gold version and looks quite exotic like the iPhone gold version. We have also seen this smartphone in Fantasy Blue and Twilight Gold options. Now, Xiaomi has officially announced that the Mi 8 Youth Edition will also be available in Deep Gray. This leaves us with at least four colour options for now.
According to official information, the Xiaomi Mi 8 Youth Edition no longer uses a vertical dual rear camera setup, but a horizontal rear camera design. In addition, the Xiaomi Mi 8 youth version uses a glass material with different colour options.
It is reported that Xiaomi Mi 8 Youth Edition will use a 6.26 inches 2280 × 1080 display screen with a screen aspect ratio of 19:9. It also comes with a notch, dual glass design materials and will sell for 1999 Yuan ($293).
