    1, The Difference In Screen Size

    The screen, Xiaomi Mi 8 and SE are 18.9 Notch screen and are using well-known Samsung AMOLED screen, the maximum brightness has reached 600nit, the contrast ratio up to 60000:1, the screen quality is basically the same, different only the size of screens. Xiaomi Mi 8 has a 6.21-inch screen, while Xiaomi Mi 8 SE equipped with a 5.88-inch screen, which is slightly smaller but is easier to hold with one hand.

    Obviously, on the performance, Xiaomi Mi 8 is stronger than Xiaomi Mi 8 SE, but they both are similar in other places, such as 10nm process, support Netcom 5.0, etc. It can be said that Snapdragon 710 is the 2nd-highest processor that is closest to the flagship Snapdragon 845. The performance ranged between Snapdragon 820 and 835.

    Of course, the performance of Xiaomi Mi 8 SE also reached the current high-end level, but there is also a certain performance gap compared to Xiaomi Mi 8. However, from now on, Xiaomi Mi 8 SE can now play various types of large-scale 3D games at the moment, but only to lengthen some of the time. In the future, Snapdragon 845 has advantages.

    3, Rear Camera Differences

    Obviously, on the camera capability, Xiaomi Mi 8 SE main camera, there will be a larger gap compared to the Mi 8, the former is the mainstream mobile phone camera level, the rear is the mainstream flagship camera level.

    4, The Battery Is Different
