Yesterday, Apple introduced the new iPhone SE at its Cupertino campus. It is a kind of back to the past for Apple since it has come back to use a 4 inch display. Although Xiaomi does not have any smartphones of that size, we decided to compare the iPhone SE with the Xiaomi Mi4S, as both represent a sort of "shoulder" of the top models (iPhone 6s / iPhone 7 and Xiaomi Mi5).
| Xiaomi Mi4s | iPhone SE | |
| Dimensions: | 139,26 x 70,76 x 7,8 mm | 123,8 x 58,6 x 7,6 mm |
| Display | 5 inch IPS with Full HD resolution | 4 inches with 1136 x 640 pixel retinal resolution |
| SoC | Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 with hexa core CPU and Adreno 418 GPU | Chip A9 |
| RAM | 3 GB | 2 GB |
| Storage | 64 GB | 16 / 64 GB |
| Rear camera | 13 Mpixel | 12 Mpixel |
| Front camera | 5 Mpixel | 1,2 Mpixel |
| Connectivity | Dual SIM, WiFi b / g / n, Bluetooth 4.x, GPS with GLONASS, LTE + and VoLTE support | WiFi a / b / g / n / ac, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS with GLONASS, LTE, NFC support |
| Battery | 3260 mAh | / / / |
| Operating System | Android 6.0 Marshmallow with MIUI 7 | iOS 9.3 |
As far as CPU and GPU performance is concerned, we believe that there is no history, as the iPhone SE mounts the chip that was defined by AnTuTu as the best of 2015. Probably also with regard to construction, victory must be given to the iPhone. Speaking apart for the battery, with Apple not declaring the maximum capacity but, in principle, we can expect up to 14 hours under 3G network (Apple data).
Starting from the assumption that one will be available in Italy shortly officially while the other will not arrive at all (always talking about official sale), both models are excellent choices but, in our view, even increased by importers Xiaomi Mi4S's price remains the main feature to target.
