Comparison between the Google Pixel 3 XL, OnePlus 6 and Xiaomi Mi 8
As usual, the first thing is know what each terminal offers us on paper. It is the best way to see in a few seconds the most differential characteristics between the terminals. Of course, we already anticipate that some of them are exactly the same, something that we do not quite like in the high range:

Which is the best of all?
As we always say, everything is a matter of taste, although there are many differences. As far as the design, battery and raw power there is not much to talk about, only the Pixel has slightly less RAM. The size is almost the same in all of them, although we have to say that the OnePlus notch is the smallest and most beautiful of all.
At the end of the day it all comes down to the camera, software and final price. The Google Pixel 3 XL, despite only having one camera, seems to us the best photographic experience usually. The other two cannot compete even remotely in the quality they offer and that is a clear fact.

As far as the software is concerned, we entered a more swampy terrain. The Google alternative offers a Pure Android 10 experience. Oxygen OS has excellent support and a few add-ons, though it’s not quite as fast as its competitor. MIUI… is MIUI, you have to like it although we think that does not reach the level of the others.
It only remains for you to choose the one you like the most taking into account its price. Xiaomi and OnePlus have the best value for money and Google offers another much more expensive experience with some details of its own. Which of the three phones did you like the most?
