We will be covering the event  live.    While we are still staring at the clock waiting for the event to kick off, Xiaomi’s CEO, Lei Jun has dropped three camera samples of Mi 8 on his Weibo account. The three image samples are of the same building, but clicked at a different time of the day. One of the images has been shot in the bright day light, another in the evening during the sunset and the third one taken at night under low light. At first look, these samples look quite impressive. On 30 May an image taken in low-light from Mi 8 SE was also spotted. [caption id=“attachment_4489333” align=“alignnone” width=“1280”] Xiaomi Mi 8 camera shots.
