Alleged Xiaomi Mi 8 appears in hands-on video ahead of May 31 launch

The video shows that the supposed Xiaomi Mi 8 has a transparent back revealing the circuitry inside. It also has a vertical dual-rear camera setup and a wide notch at the front.

The colour of the alleged Xiaomi Mi 8 showed in the video lies somewhere between black and dark grey, and the reflection on the back suggests the use of glass. This could result in the Mi 8 getting wireless charging. The device is expected to hold a 4,000mAh battery with support for Quick Charging. The Mi 8 is also rumoured to come with a 6.0-inch display, which is pretty much consistent with the device shown in the alleged hands-on video. For its processing needs, the Xiaomi Mi 8 will mostly run on the Snapdragon 845 chipset, given that it is a flagship device.
