Xiaomi Mi 8 SE — A Mid-Range Flagship That Punches Above Its Weight

The Xiaomi Mi 8 SE is a stylish and capable mid-range smartphone released in June 2018, making history as the very first device in the world to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 processor. Designed as a more compact and affordable alternative to the flagship Mi 8, it still delivers an impressive overall package that offers exceptional value for money.

The phone features a beautiful 5.88-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a resolution of 2244 x 1080 pixels, an 86.12% screen-to-body ratio, and the slim physical footprint of a traditional 5.2-inch device — making it one of the most comfortable smartphones to hold in 2018. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for added scratch and drop resistance.

The dual rear camera system is headlined by a 12MP Sony Exmor RS sensor with an f/1.9 aperture, dual pixel PDAF autofocus, and a 5MP depth sensor for stunning portrait shots with beautiful background blur. On the front, a powerful 20MP camera with AI Beauty, AI background virtualization, and the ability to recognize over 206 self-portrait scenes makes it a selfie lover’s dream.

The Snapdragon 710 chipset, paired with up to 6GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage, delivers smooth and efficient performance for everyday tasks, gaming, and multitasking. The 3120mAh battery supports 18W Quick Charge 3.0, giving you up to 50% charge in just 30 minutes.

Available in four attractive colors — Black, Blue, Red, and Gold — the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE launched at a starting price of around $260, making it one of the best value smartphones of its generation.
