Outdated Product
The sub-flagship device with the prefix SE in the name is essentially a simplified version of Xiaomi Mi 8. The model got a 5.84-inch display based on an AMOLED matrix with an atypical aspect ratio of 18.7: 9. All because of the cutout at the top of the screen, where all sorts of sensors are sheltered, a speaker and a 20 MP selfie camera lens, which, in addition to its main duties, is busy with unlocking the smartphone by the user's face. On the reverse side — on the glass back panel of the gadget — there is a coupled 12 + 5 MP photomodule, the second "eye" of which is used to obtain the bokeh effect when shooting in the genre of portrait photography. The performance level of Xiaomi Mi 8 SE 64GB is comparable to flagship solutions literally a year ago (at the time the device was announced)....Its hardware platform is based on the 710th “dragon”, built using 10nm technology. The amount of RAM on board the gadget varies from 4 to 6 GB, and the capacity of the standard data storage is 64 GB. An additional trump card in the sleeve of the model is an infrared port on the upper end. Moreover, for some reason, the smartphone does not have an NFC chip in service. The battery of the device with a capacity of 3120 mAh supports fast charging using Quick Charge 3.0 technology.

Why do smartphones start to slow down and what amount of RAM is now considered optimal?Let's explore the reasons for the slowdown and the optimal amount of RAM for smartphones

The highest levels of the Xiaomi smartphone hierarchy are traditionally occupied by Mi series devices. The eighth generation of the top line was diluted with a simpler version - a device with serious flagship ambitions, the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE.

Golden mean

The smartphone is a kind of “golden mean” between Pro-level gadgets and middle-class devices. He became the first among his peers to receive the Snapdragon 710 chip as a central processor, which is only slightly behind the current generations of top-end “dragons” in performance. In the synthetic AnTuTu test, the combination of the chip, 4 GB of RAM and Adreno 616 graphics scores over 168 thousand “parrots”, which indicates a decent reserve of hardware performance for the future. There is also a version of the model with 6 GB of RAM, which has an even higher flight speed. The volume of non-volatile memory on board the mobile gadget is 64 GB and, alas, the capacity of the standard drive cannot be further expanded.

Glass "sandwich"

The appearance of the smartphone is dominated by angular features, which will appeal to adherents of the so-called Sony-style. In general, the device body is made in the form factor of a glass “sandwich” with a 5.88-inch AMOLED display at the head. The picture is displayed on the screen in an atypical resolution of 2244x1080 pixels, which was done to please the large “bangs”. From it, the user is “peeped” by the lens of a 20 MP selfie camera, which can “click” portraits with background blur and recognize the owner of the device by face, giving him access to all the functions of the device. At the same time, the smartphone is equipped with a fingerprint sensor on the “back” in the old fashioned way.

Best Value

The photographic side of the issue Xiaomi Mi 8 SE is represented by a tandem of 12 + 5 MP cameras with support for artificial intelligence functions, HDR and other “tricks”, tailored to obtain the highest quality results. But for some reason the model did not work out with the NFC chip - almost a mandatory attribute of a good modern smartphone - as well as with the dust and moisture protection of the case. As moral compensation, an infrared port for remote control of home appliances and fast charging of a 3120 mAh battery are provided at the user’s disposal, on one charge of which a day of battery life of the device is reliably provided. In terms of price/quality/optimal dimensions, the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE is completely superior to its closest rivals, which is what attracts close attention.
