Editorial report

Xiaomi Mi 9 SE technical sheet

The Xiaomi Mi 9 SE suits buyers after a compact, light phone who can live with a battery that has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time. It measures 147.5 mm tall and weighs 155 g. Its 5.97″ Super AMOLED display delivers 432 ppi, among the highest densities of phones from that time. The display as a whole ranks among the best, while its 60 Hz refresh rate is average.

The camera is better than most phones launched around the same time: its 1/2″ sensor is larger than most, and 2x optical zoom is among the best. There is also an ultrawide camera and 4K recording at 30 fps, though the main camera has no optical image stabilization. Performance and connectivity also stand better than most. The Snapdragon 712 comes with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, plus support for two Nano-SIM cards. The 3,070 mAh battery has less capacity than most, while 18 W charging is average. Android 9 completes the package. With a NeoScore of 4.6, the Mi 9 SE makes most sense for someone who values compact dimensions, a standout display and flexible cameras more than battery capacity.
