August 10, 2025
TheXiaomi Mi 8 Litewill receive the night mode camera treatment, according to a recentWeibo postfrom a company executive (viaMydrivers). Chuan Wang, Xiaomi’s VP and co-founder, said an engineer was working overtime to port theMi Mix 3camera feature to the Mi 8 Lite, which suggests it could be coming soon.
Night mode is a camera mode that uses image stacking to increase brightness and detail in photos taken in low-light. It’s something several OEMs have been promoting lately, most notably Google with itsPixel 3 versus iPhone XS comparisons.
In ourMi 8 Lite review, we were already pleased with what the software component brought to the phone’s camera hardware; this move should only improve it further. Wang reaffirmed its power with some Mi Mix 3 shots accompanying his Weibo post.
The standardXiaomi Mi 8also received the night mode in an MIUI updateback in December, while theMi Mix 2SandRedmi Note 7are also expected to get it at some point.
And if you thought Xiaomi wasn’t already doing enough for lower-tier devices, it was rumored earlier this week that the company is working onSnapdragon 855-based Redmi phones. 2019 is already shaping up to be another big year for Xiaomi.
