• 64/128GB storage
• 3070mAh battery
• 5.97 inch AMOLED display
• 48MP main camera, 8MP telephoto camera, 13MP untrawide camera
• 20MP selfie camera

With its premium quality and sleek design, the Mi 9 SE feels like a flagship device. At only 155g, the Mi 9 SE is lighter than the iPhone XR, housing a USB-C port along with bottom-firing speakers, power and volume buttons. The Mi 9 SE comes with an infrared blaster at the top meaning you can use it as a TV remote control! Unfortunately, there is no headphone jack but Xiaomi includes an adaptor for those who prefer wired headphones over wireless ones.

The Mi 9 SE comes with a fantastic 5.97”, 1080x2340p, super AMOLED display and delivers a pixel density of 432PPI. This AMOLED display is made by Samsung and is used in Xiaomi’s flagship Mi 9 giving it sharper images than the iPhone XS, Huawei P30 Pro and the OnePlus 7.

The triple camera on the Mi 9 SE consists of a 48 MP main camera, an 8 MP telephoto camera and a 13 MP ultrawide camera. The cameras on the Mi 9 SE deliver a sharp image with great detail and color. The selfie camera is 20 MP and image quality is excellent both in auto and portrait mode. A dedicated night-mode improves the quality of any low-light images you decide to take. The 4K video quality is sharp but a little shaky. Switching to 1080p video will result in a small loss in sharpness but an increase in smoothness. For a mid-range device, the overall camera quality is better than expected.

The Mi 9 SE packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 processor along with 6 GB of RAM, beating its fellow 2019 flagship devices when it comes to speed and overall performance! The fingerprint scanner located under the display is a quick and secure way to lock the device. The phone also comes with an excellent face unlock feature which is not the most secure but is definitely fast. With its 3070 mAh battery, the Mi 9 SE will last you through a full day of usage with some power left over. The 18W charger will charge the device from 0-100% in under an hour and a half.
