Xiaomi is known for high-quality smartphones and other electronics and maintains good features in even budget phones. In 2014, Xiaomi became China’s largest smartphone company.

We have collected the best Xiaomi has to offer in Pakistan so let’s dive in:
1. Xiaomi Mi 8

This phone celebrates the 8th anniversary of Xiaomi. Its got a 6.21 inches display with two memory/RAM variants. One with 64 GB internal storage and 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage with 8 GB RAM. Xiaomi Mi 8 dual rear cameras are a modest 12 MP and a 12 MP telephoto camera.
The battery size is not impressive considering the screen size. The battery size is 3400 mAh which could be better.
2. Xiaomi Redmi Note 7

The Redmi Note 7 supports a huge 48 MP, f/1.8 camera that tops this list. This is as big a camera you can find in this range. With the PDAF technology, the Note 7 can focus fast and take good shots in a snap. Moreover, the 5 MP, f/2.4, depth sensor means it can take pictures with a blurred background.
The selfie camera is not a compromise here. The 13 MP, f/2.2 selfie camera features an HDR mode which produces some stunning selfies.
