Xiaomi Mi 8 SE Review

Score: 75.9 / 100

Xiaomi Mi 8 SE is a wonderful Android cellphone launched in June 2018, including a large 5.9" screen, an extremely powerful 2200 MHz Octa-Core processor, and 2 cameras, a 12 megapixels back-facing camera and a 20 MP front side camera. Let's take a better sight of what this cellphone has to offer.

Xiaomi decided to equip this phone using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SDM710 system chip, packing an exceptional 2200 megahertz Octa-Core CPU with a great 6 GB of RAM. A great aspect of the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE is its huge 64 GB internal storage memory and even though it doesn't count with an external SD slot, it is still enough to store hundreds of apps without even thinking about filling the phone.

This device is much lighter than what you expect from a phone of this size. The Xiaomi Mi 8 SE is very slim and comfortable, with a thickness of just 0.3 inches. The Xiaomi Mi 8 SE is quite a compact cellphone, taking into consideration it has a 5.9" screen and it only has 5.8 inches long. This device is offerred in a nice range of color variations like black, blue, gold and red.

This phone features two cameras, a 12 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 20 mega-pixels front camera. Its back-facing camera lens has a f/1.9 aperture so it can take great photographs even in poorly lit environments. It also captures videos up to 3840x2160 (4K) at 30 fps, and HD 1280x720 slow-motion videos at 240 fps.

The Xiaomi Mi 8 SE has a spectacular 5.9 inches display with a 1080 x 2244 resolution, providing this device with a very detailed image quality.

This phone counts with wifi capability (and it can share it with other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G high performance data connection and the fastest 3G connectivity, using HSPA and HSUPA technologies. The Xiaomi Mi 8 SE has 2 Nano SIM cards so it is able to work with 2 different phone numbers and even different carriers.

The Xiaomi Mi 8 SE also features a great numbre of great characteristics like Fingerprint Identification, Infrared Port, Bluetooth and GPS Navigation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This cellphone features a high capacity 3120 mAh Li - Polymer non-replaceable battery providing the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE an incredible battery life. An issue to take into consideration is that this phone's battery is non-removable so you can't change it when it starts to lose its charge, whereas with such a great capacity you will probably replace this cellphone before it becomes an issue.

This phone is probably the right choice for you no matter whether you love photography, need a cellphone for work, want a gaming cellphone or want a social phone.
