Critic consensus
“With the Mi 9 SE, Xiaomi has succeeded in creating an appealing midrange smartphone with a compact design. The SE takes on some of the flagship features of its big sibling while keeping costs down. Xiaomi has equipped the device with a high-contrast OLED panel, beautiful cameras and a decent mono speaker along with a premium-looking case.”
“The Mi 9 SE is plenty good at the important stuff - it's got an excellent display, takes great pictures with a camera trio you won't find outside of flagship territory, and has decent battery life. It also manages to fit all that in a small footprint and a more than a reasonable budget.”
“With a little bit of tweaking, the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE can deliver a premium flagship feel, a fantastically versatile camera and great performance, not to mention a killer Super AMOLED screen.”
“Mi 9 is one of the best Android phones out there, and with this SE version it is not only more affordable but also more compact. The SE has all the same headline features, with a new in-display fingerprint sensor, triple-lens 48Mp camera and gorgeous holographic glass body, but Xiaomi has cut costs by swapping in a mid-range processor and ditching the wireless charging.”
