Xiaomi Mi9 SE Hands on: The Small Screen Part

Following the launch of  Xiaomi Mi9 SE last year, Xiaomi officially brought a brand new Xiaomi Mi9 SE at the new product launch conference of Xiaomi Mi9 recently. It still plays the “small screen”, but it has a very obvious improvement in overall performance. Let’s take a look at the following.

Compared to the 6.39-inch large screen that Xiaomi Mi9 is equipped with, the Xiaomi Mi9 SE is relatively restrained in screen size. It features a Samsung AMOLED screen measuring 5.97 inches, which is comparable to the 5.88 inches of the Xiaomi Mi8 SE.

On the specification parameters, its screen resolution is 2340 x 1080, 432 PPI, with NTSC 103.8% wide color gamut, while supporting color AOD off-screen display. At the same time, the design of the water drop screen also makes it have a good screen ratio, reaching 90.47%. Like the Xiaomi Mi9, the front camera of the Xiaomi 9 SE is also 20 megapixels, supporting AI beauty, front HDR and face recognition.

The more gratifying thing is that although the Xiaomi Mi9 SE is positioned lower than the Xiaomi Mi9, it still retains the same fifth-generation screen fingerprinting technology as the latter, and the recognition speed and accuracy are good. Thanks to the smaller screen size, the body size of the Xiaomi Mi9 SE is also significantly smaller and lighter than that of Xiaomi Mi9. According to the official data, its body measurements are 147.5×70.5×7.45mm, and the weight is only 155g. The grip is very good.

In the back cover processing, the Xiaomi Mi9 SE adopts the same holographic color body process as the Xiaomi Mi9. It can show different colors at different illumination angles and is very beautiful. The rear camera of the Xiaomi Mi9 SE is slightly inferior to Xiaomi Mi9. Its main camera, like the Xiaomi Mi9, still uses the 4800-pixel Sony IMX586 sensor, f/1.75 aperture, but the ultra-wide-angle lens and telephoto lens are changed from 16 million pixels + 12 million pixels to 13 Megapixels + 8 million pixels.

For battery life and charging, the Xiaomi Mi9 SE has a battery capacity of 3070mAh and supports 18W wired fast charge. Unfortunately, it does not support wireless charging and 27W wired fast charging on Xiaomi Mi9. The core hardware configuration, the Xiaomi Mi9 SE is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 platform, with 6GB + 64GB and 6GB + 128GB two storage options, while providing deep air gray, holographic illusion blue and holographic illusion purple three color matching.
