Xiaomit is still known in most parts of the world, such as the US, as a major Chinese mobile phone manufacturer. Yet Xiaomi has been much more than that for a long time, their products range from wearable smart devices to smart homes, and even venture into the clothing and healthcare market.

The common feature of their products is visible innovation and cheapness. They are able to produce products that are better than the competition, impeccable in terms of appearance and grip, while keeping their products affordable.

In this article, we’ll take a look at what phones will pamper us in early 2018. These include cheap, entry-level but impeccable quality, more expensive with great cameras and clean Android, and even more expensive with trend-setting, frameless design.

Xiaomi Redmi 5A

The Xiaomi Redmi 5A would be the company’s cheapest phone if you couldn’t even get the model that ran last year, the Redmi 4. Even so, we get it for less than $ 100, or 25 forints, which, knowing the virtues of Xiaomi, will make it feel like a very friendly price for anyone who buys this phone.

 

Hardware is no longer strong in today's production. The central unit is a Qualcomm 425 with a quad-core processor. It is supported by 2 GB of system memory and 16 GB of storage. We might think of these as few, but knowing the Android-based MIUI system used by Xiaomi and the company’s attention, we can be sure that the software will run smoothly.

 

The mobile's display is 5 inches, which dwarfs the bigger phones. This is not a disadvantage, but rather an advantage, since there are fewer and fewer such "small" phones on the market, and there are certainly many people who do not like larger devices. In addition to the 5-inch resolution, the company paired HD resolution.

 

There are two cameras in the phone, and a 5- megapixel piece lives on the front and a 13 megapixel piece on the back. The battery is a combo of the size and power of the phone, with a capacity of 3000 mAh. The mobile GLOBAL version included in the current recommendation, ie it supports the B20 800 MHz LTE frequency used in Hungary.

Xiaomi Redmire 5

 

The Redmi 5 is such a new phone that no one at home might have one. It was unveiled in late December, so it’s officially only available for a few weeks. Unfortunately, the price jump is great for the Redmi 5A, they charge pretty much twice as much for it.

 

The Xiaomi Redmi 5 is no longer new not only because it belongs to the Fifty but also the Fifth series, but also because it is the first device to smuggle the frameless design into the mid-range in Xiaomi’s offering. The frameless design is accompanied by the trendy 18: 9 aspect ratio display, which is no longer HD but HD + resolution, which means 1440 x 720 pixels.

The phone already comes with a thinner eight-core 1,8GHz processor, a Snapdragon 450. The memory is also more than 3 GB, the storage is more serious at 32 GB. All in all, this phone is a bloody mid-range device. Many fans are bothered by the larger display, many would have liked to stay at 5 inches, but let’s face it, the future will prefer this shape. Plus, the phone is thinner than its predecessor, and its width is only slightly larger, so by hand it will only be the length, which is different from the four-series.

Xiaomi Mi A1

The Xiaomi Mi A1 is an amazing phone. The pictures do not give back its beauty. Although the form is classic, its lines have not been drawn according to the new fashion, yet, in the hands of man, it is more like the feeling of using a piece of jewelry, but at least a real masterpiece. I may feel lucky to be able to capture such a beauty day by day, it is not me but my partner who uses it. It may be ridiculous, but you get a few minutes from me every day, I always find a reason to push a little.

 

You can’t just fall in love with the look of your phone. The most important consideration in our selection was that the camera be perfect. In fact, there was no other formulated point on which I had to choose a phone. Well, there's nothing wrong with the camera here! The mobile was given the back camera, more specifically the cameras of Xiaomi’s current flagship, the Mi 6. The dual 12 megapixel camera combo is essentially impeccable, you can’t get much more than a camera built into your phone these days.

 

The hardware is also strong, the octa-core processor Snapdragon 625, 4 GB RAM and 32 GB ROM work with honor, the display "only" has a 16:9 aspect ratio, FHD, i.e. 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. However, the next interesting feature of the phone is not the hardware, but the software, i.e. the Android on it. This is not Xiaomi's version of MIUI, but pure Android as made by Google. According to the news, because of this, the phone will receive the latest Android version for years to come, and also among the first. There is already evidence of this, the mobile phone that originally came with Android 7 received the Oreo version this week.

Xiaomi Mi 6

 

The Xiaomi Mi 6 is therefore the company’s current flagship. It is not a young device, it was introduced at the beginning of last year, and we already know quite a lot about its successor, it is expected to be introduced in the spring. Nevertheless, this phone should not be forgotten from the list of the best Xiaomi phones.

 

The phone features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, which features an eight-core 2,45 GHz processor and an Adreno 540 graphics accelerator. There are several builds of it in terms of memory and storage, now we show the cheapest version, in this 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of ROM.

 

The shape of the phone is even old-school, its display is not the trendy elongated one, but the "traditional" 16:9 aspect ratio. The image diagonal is still a friendly 5,15 inches, so if you want a new, powerful, but not large phone, you should hurry to get a phone before the Mi 7 is released, which will last you many years due to the powerful hardware.

I already mentioned the cameras on the Mi A1. The dual camera on the back is really amazing, so it’s worth buying just for that reason. Plus, unlike the A1, here we get a powerful 8-megapixel camera for self-shooting, with which we can take really good quality self-portraits, no matter how good our face is.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is the phone I get my hands on every day, being such a miracle I have at the moment. I’ve described it several times before, I’m not even ashamed, I’m a Xiaomi maniac, I couldn’t have another phone like that. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is essentially the brother of the Mi 6 in terms of hardware, at least in terms of the central unit. However, two phones couldn’t be any different than these guys born into the same family.

The Xiaomi Mi Mix, the predecessor of the current two versions, was a real trend-setting device. Although it was not the first in frameless design - Sharp Crystal was the first - we still associate this form with Xiaomi, the Mi MIX. The reason for this is that it was this phone that changed the image in our heads of what a modern mobile phone should look like. The frameless design of the MIX captivated users and set the entire mobile market on a new track. The first was a Chinese phone that was not adapted to the "big" manufacturers, rather, it was adapted to the more famous manufacturers.

We expected the MIX 2 to continue on the path blazed by its predecessor and to be a similarly big hit. It didn't happen, but that doesn't mean it's a bad phone, in fact. It's all about the fact that the market has priced in advance that we will get novelties in the phone, such as the fingerprint reader hidden under the front glass. In comparison, we "only" got a high-end hardware with an amazingly beautiful appearance, 18:9 aspect ratio and FHD+ resolution.

The phone, like its predecessor, is a yoke of masterpieces. While not as historic as its predecessor, I must say that I am proud to be able to use one.

So these are the best Xiaomi phones in our opinion. This list could have been much longer, as essentially all of their devices could have been included here. The cheap Note 5A, the more expensive big-screen Redmi 5 Plus, or the huge Mi MAX 2 could all be here.

Spring and early summer will also be exciting, as we look forward to the Mi 7, the new flagship, and later the Mi MAX 3. It is certain that these phones will also further age Xiaomi’s name and help make the manufacturer the biggest among the biggest in years to come.
