Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Swapping out the awkwardly placed selfie camera with a dual-lens model that is tucked away behind the screen, the Mi Mix 3 is one of several slider phones that shows how the concept should work. Not only allowing a proper full-screen display, but adding quick-access functionality to the phone. In other respects Mi Mix 3 is not a huge upgrade over the 2S, and actually loses some of its bling over its predecessor with the absence of its 18K gold camera surround. But it’s still a great phone, available at an incredible price, and it’s astonishing to see just how far the original full-display phone has come. We’ve tested the Chinese model, since Mi Mix 3 won’t be officially announced in the UK until Q1 2019. We’d advise holding out for the UK version (which may be a little more expensive) or looking for a Global ROM model, though the only major difference is that here you must install Google services yourself.

We’re also interested to see what happens with the dedicated Mi AI button – will Xiaomi announce a UK version, or will it integrate with Google Assistant? A 5G version will also be announced in early 2019. Read our Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 review. 8. Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S The original full-display smartphone is evolving into something really special. Now with wireless charging, faster performance and a dual-camera that builds in AI, the Mi Mix 2S is a closer rival to western flagships than ever – and at a fraction of the price.

The Mi Mix 2S majors on performance and design. With its ceramic, mirror-finish case and 18:9 display it looks and feels incredible in the hand. With full Google services the Xiaomi is easy to recommend, although it’s not ideal for selfie and audio fanatics with a poorly positioned front camera and a mono speaker that doesn’t make up for the lack of a headphone jack. Battery life could also be better, and we’d like to see the company finally take the plunge with a Quad-HD display and waterproofing. Read our Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S review.

9. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite The Mi 8 Lite is an excellent-value mid-range phone with a gorgeous design and some decent hardware, particularly in the camera department. We’re excited for what Xiaomi’s entrance to the UK means for the mid-range smartphone market. Read our Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite review. 10. Xiaomi Mi A2 The inclusion of Android One makes Xiaomi phones so much more easily accessible to UK- and US users – and that’s a very good thing, finally allowing those outside China and India (and more recently Spain, France and Italy) a taste of what else is out there on the market. The Mi A2 (also available running MIUI as the Mi 6X) merely whets our appetite for what’s coming our way when Xiaomi officially launches in the UK on 8 November. A fantastic budget phone, the Mi A2 is just £199 and easily obtainable from Amazon. It combines decent build quality with a nice display, good all-round performance and a well-specced trio of cameras. It out-specs and out-performs every other phone in our budget smartphone chart. Read our Xiaomi Mi A2 review. 11. Honor 9 The Honor 9 is an undeniably impressive phone and although the Honor 10 is out, you can still buy it even cheaper direct from Honor. In performance terms, it’s nipping at the heels of the year’s top flagships, and only lacking flashy features like waterproofing or a bezel-less screen. It looks great, it runs fast, and it costs less than £300 now. Read our Honor 9 review. 12. Xiaomi Mi Note 3 The Mi Note 3 is a downgrade on the Mi6 and, arguably, the Mi Note 2, but it appeals with a lower price and an attractive premium design. Though it doesn’t feature a flagship processor, this is is a very capable smartphone with a very decent dual-camera.
