Xiaomi announced the Mi 8 SE back in May and later
the phone was launched with 64 GB storage and two RAM options - 4 GB or 6 GB.
Now the company adds a third version to its Mi Store - one with 128 GB storage.
The phone does not differ in any other way from the
Mi 8 SE that we just reviewed. It runs on Snapdragon 710 with octa-core CPU and
boots Android Oreo. The screen is a 5.88” AMOLED panel with a notch on top that
houses all the traditional sensors and comes with the basic Android Face Unlock
feature (the high-end face-scanning tech is reserved for the Mi 8 Explorer).
Initially, the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE was no more than
CNY 1,999, but the new variant costs CNY 2,299 or around than US$ 380/€ 290. Sadly,
it is offered only in Gray; none of the three other colors, including the sexy
Pink from our review, are available at the moment.
