HI guys. who knows this phone has notification or no?
is this phone at least water splash resistant? anyone knows?
Just bought this phone.
PROS:
- Great 5,8" AMOLED display (great contrast, great black), sharp and vivid as better Samsung's displays, eye-friendly
- Newest, fast and future ready SD710 chipset (QC 4.0, enhanced audio & photography, battery friendly etc.)
- Well built, nice design, also light and very comfortable using one hand
- Good battery life
- Nice features as IR universal blaster, AOD, HDR 10, usb type C, swipe gestures (no buttons), fast charge 3.0/4.0, Android 8.1 + Treble
- Cheap
CONS:
- Lousy MIUI ROM (no official global yet!), full of chinese bloatware tied with locked BL
- Not bad but still not good camera, could and should be much better, despite low price! Or software algorhytms are bad. Too much noise and bluriness. AI does improve some but not enough.
- Not enough options for display color correction.
- Stupid notch
- One-color LED notification (in 2018, really Xiaomi??)
- Idiotic USB audio adapter.
Verdict: If XIAOMI engineers improve camera trough software (eis, noise), then this phone could be the best buy of 2018! It is very well balanced phone and pretty cheap (around 270 euro now).
Anonymous, 24 Aug 2018Reason why Xiaomi need more powerful chips is because there MiUi is a heavy UI, while Samsung ... moreWell, in the Mi 8 SE it has the same Super Amoled as Samsung devices, and when I mentioned chipsets, I was talking about actual benchmark scores. The Mi 8 SE has scored 174k in antutu while the Galaxy A8 (2018) scores 116k which is the same price as the Mi 8 SE. Same goes with the A2 and Galaxy J8 which are both same price but with 77k difference in antutu score in favor to the A2. Huge difference; granted the Xiaomi A2 runs Android One but the point still stands.
Predictive memorys, 14 Aug 2018I don't talk nonsense, the OIS only best for hand shake user. While the dual camera with AUBE ... moreMeh.
Nonsens. As always
Anonymous, 23 Aug 2018Which phone should I buy; Mi 8 SE or A2? And are there better options in the same price range ... moreReason why Xiaomi need more powerful chips is because there MiUi is a heavy UI, while Samsung Grace UX is much more efficient UI, i have been using 1 Samsung & 1 Xiaomi for sometime, i found Samsung is way better than Xiaomi even if the chips is lower range, not forgetting light year advance display & camera.
Maelstrom, 23 Aug 2018I bought the mi 8 se because i heard that the A2 or mi 6x had still some little problems that ... moreDid you encounter any issues with the UI? I've been hearing some mixed opinions regarding updates. Gsmarena review says MIUI has a good update history but some other people say updates are late and bugs take a while to get fixed. Also how does it manage RAM and internal storage?

Which phone should I buy; Mi 8 SE or A2? And are there better options in the same price range without going with a much weaker chipset *cough* Samsung *cough*.
New Qualcomm SD 710 has enhanced EIS and Quick Charge 4.0 ability, so we have to wait until someone in Xiaomi see it and implement it in Mi 8 SE .
Predictive memorys, 20 Aug 2018Dual camera surpass OIS in noise reduction even with higher IOS it can get less noise image so... moreyes dual camera reduces noise
but it isnt the case for Mi 8 SE
loook and loooook
the 2nd camera only for DEPTH SENSOR, it doesnt even take picture to reduce noise
it isnt the case for other model like Mi A2
but for model with useless 2nd camera, why not just add OIS
the best, 20 Aug 2018camera with ois still better than non-ois any day. as you said it is a dated tech that can be ... moreDual camera surpass OIS in noise reduction even with higher IOS it can get less noise image so why still rely on OIS to gain the camera size? When taking video Sony steady shot technology is still better and stable than OIS. Conclusion dual camera better than OIS. OIS make image smudge and painting like, lost the details and texture.

While the dual camera with AUBE ... morecamera with ois still better than non-ois any day. as you said it is a dated tech that can be cheaper, so why not they just put ois in phone? ois is a proved tech since long ago. almost all flagship has ois in their main camera except sony. why? idk they dont care maybe. but the sony's mirrorless camera division is full of ois.
they are many occasion involving movement when ppl taking photo, so ois is definitely helps here.
What is the head and body specific absorption rate (SAR) value for this phone
dbreaker, 12 Aug 2018but a phone with ois 1st b4 you talk shitI don't talk nonsense, the OIS only best for hand shake user. While the dual camera with AUBE can ignore the shake and directly capture real time video and image because AUBE makes the dual sensor imaging combined in real time.
Predictive memorys, 08 Aug 2018OIS is the gimmick. I already watch the XZ2 Premium lowlight camera comparison, Sony use high ... morebut a phone with ois 1st b4 you talk shit
Smallfry, 09 Aug 2018No notification light and no NFC. If they added these to global version of mi8 se would be perfect.There is a led light.white coloured
Does it play 10bit videos smoothly?
mi fan, 11 Aug 2018I would really like them to offer an extra thin and light phone. Say two models at 100g and 1... moreWatch Jerry Rigs Everything's Xiaomi Mi5 durability test and see what happens when you get a 120 g. phone lol :D
