The scores

In comparison with the other flagship phones, Mi 8 is 2 points ahead with Apple iPhone X, and 1 point higher than Google Pixel 2. But it's 2 points behind from Huawei P20 and 10 points lesser from Huawei P20 Pro.

According to DxOMark,

With an overall DxOMark score of 99 points, the Mi 8 offers some improvements in certain areas over the earlier Mi MIX 2S model, placing it shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the best smartphone cameras we’ve tested. The Xiaomi Mi 8 is very strong in our still photography category, achieving a very high Photo score of 105, thanks to a combination of accurate exposure with an extended dynamic range in most lighting conditions, pleasingly rich and vivid color rendering with neutral white balance in bright light, and generally well-controlled artifacts. It also has fast and accurate autofocus and produces a pleasing bokeh with smooth blur transitions and a regular shape to highlights.

Achieving a video score of 88, the Xiaomi Mi 8 isn’t quite as strong as in stills, but it’s still a good performer. Benefits include fast, accurate, and smooth autofocus with good subject tracking, attractive color rendering, and a wide dynamic range.
