The Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition, which was announced back in May 2018, hasn’t been released to the market yet, whereas the other models, which includes Mi 8 and the Mi 8 SE have officially been launched. The Mi 8 Explorer Edition happens to be the most expensive phone of the Mi 8 series and it will apparently be available in multiple models, even though Xiaomi only unveiled the 8GB RAM paired with 128GB of internal storage earlier.

Two versions of the Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer edition surfaced on TENAA last week and according to the specifications, they will be more affordable than the model that was introduced at first. After the inclusion of the new variants of the Mi 8 Explorer Edition, all price ranges will be covered by Xiaomi.
