And if you're all still in fibrillation for the launch of Xiaomi Mi 9 also proposed in the variant Explorer (Transparent) Edition, but think that you will never be able to put aside some savings to buy it, well this year the company solves part of the problem by proposing a "lite" version of the top of the range. Let's talk about Mi 9 SE, which is borderline between the middle and high end of the market, as it does not really miss anything, indeed the quality / price ratio could be for many even more intriguing.

Xiaomi Mi 9 SE official: he is the real flagship killer

You will not have to give up a good one that on Mi 9 SE is type AMOLED with diagonal from 5,97 inches, Full HD + resolution and with drop notch (who knows if Xiaomi will have solved the problems related to the Widevine certification), as well as functionality AOD. Also on the front end we find a powerful one selfie camera with 20 megapixel sensor with HDR, AI and Face Unlock functions but if you are incurable careless, do not worry about the safety of your smartphone because the panel, both front and back, of the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 glass with 2.5D processing.

The lines seem to be softer than the standard Mi 9 although curvature is maintained worthy of a sexy bomb, but that greatly help the grip, considering that you will often use one-handed use in virtue that the ID sensor is integrated in the display, a real innovation that confirms the company's intention to integrate this technology even in the mid range.

And the performance? Well nothing to fear thanks to the latest Soc Qualcomm Snpadragon 712, 10nm processor and clock up to 2,3 GHz, co-monitored by the Adreno 616 GPU, which translates into a performance increase over the previous 10% generation. They are also inserted 6 GB of dual channel LPDDR4x RAM (1866 MHz) and 64/128 GB of UFS 2.1 storage unfortunately not expandable. And you will not even give up on the photographic performances, as Xiaomi Mi 9 SE is equipped with a triple rear-facing camera, which the sensor takes SONY IMX586 48 megapixel f / 1,75, which is accompanied by an 8 megapixel f / 2,4 telephoto lens with an additional data collection function for the blurred background and a13 megapixel f / 2.4 wide-angle lens.

Additional features are implemented regarding the AI ​​technology, ability to customize the watermark on the photos while at the video level we can run in 4K at 30fps, or 1080p at 30 fps / 60 fps but above all stop the time with the Super Slow Motion at 960fps unfortunately in 720p resolution. The package is completed by a 3070 mAh battery with 18W fast charging via USB Type-C, WiFi 802.11a / b / g / n / ac (dual band 2.4 / 5 GHz), Bluetooth 5.0 with AAC / LDAC / aptX / aptX protocol -HD and GPS / GLONASS / Galileo. 

Not even the sNFC ensemble and the IR transmitter, an unpardonable lack for many users. Absent the jack from 3,5 mm but above all the 20 band to 800 MHz which as for the previous generation on this Mi 9 SE will never be implemented, despite the possibility of the Dual 4G functionality. Finally, I emphasize that at the CPU level the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE is the first smartphone to be equipped with the Snapdragon 712 processor. The selling price of the new Xiaomi Mi 9 is 1999 yuan - about 261 euro at the current exchange rate - in the 6 / 64 GB version, or 2299 yuan - about 300 euro at the current exchange rate - in the 6 / 128 GB variant.
