Xiaomi Mi Mix vs Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus: the war between two phablets with excellent specs and features. Which one will be the winner? Let’s read on to find it out!

Phablet Battle

It’s a big battle between big mobile phones: Both devices are coming with large screens.

With those screen sizes they are rather phablets than smartphones!

Under the hood, Xiaomi Mi Mix runs on a 2.35 GHz Quad Core Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 821 processor. On the other hand, Samsung’s flagship will be powered by a 2.4GHz Octa Core Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 835 processor. Both devices pack 4GB of RAM paired with 128GB of internal storage.

Moreover, it is coming with a non-removable 3500mAh battery runs on Android 7.0 Nougat, while Xiaomi Mi Mix features a powerful 4400mAh battery and is working on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
