Comparison review
The iPhone 8 is much better than Xiaomi Mi 5c, having a general score of 85 against 72.4. Although it's the best phone we compare here, we must tell that it is also a just a little bit thicker and just a little bit heavier phone. IPhone 8 counts with a bit faster CPU than Xiaomi Mi 5c, because although it has a lower number of cores (although they are faster) and a lower amount of RAM, it also counts with a 64-bit CPU.
Apple iPhone 8 counts with a screen that's just as good as Xiaomi Mi 5c's display, although the Apple iPhone 8 has a just a little lower pixels density, a much lower 750 x 1334px resolution and a quite smaller display. The iPhone 8 counts with a superior memory to store more apps and games than Xiaomi Mi 5c, because it has more internal storage capacity.
The Xiaomi Mi 5c features a much better battery performance than iPhone 8, because it has a 2860mAh battery size. IPhone 8 has a slightly better camera than Xiaomi Mi 5c, and although they both have a same resolution back camera and the same 3840x2160 video definition, the iPhone 8 also has a larger aperture for better photos and videos in low light situations and faster video frame rates.
Although Apple iPhone 8 is a better device, it costs a lot more than Xiaomi Mi 5c, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Xiaomi Mi 5c. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy Apple iPhone 8, otherwise you can save some money and get the Xiaomi Mi 5c, letting go a couple features and specifications.
