Mi 9 SE, Dual Sim 64GB 6GB RAM, Full UK Warranty- Piano Black

This is an excellent mid range android phone with great specs for the price. The screen is vivid and colourful and the lack of a notification led is no problem as the always on a OLED screen shows an icon when an email or message has been received. The phone comes with MIUI 10 installed which is upgradable to MIUI 11 straight away, I was a bit apprehensive about using this operating system having come from an android one phone but I have to admit that the MIUI is very intuitive and the gestures system is probably better than stock android. The phone is very nippy in every day use opening and closing apps etc and games seem to run smoothly without any stuttering. The phone is also supplied with a silicone case which protects the rear and sides of the phone, a usb c charging cable and a UK fast charging plug, overall a great product.

Great specs packed in a pocket size phone making it superb value for money. I bought this phone to replace my 2 years old Samsung S8 and I am pleasantly surprised to have experienced that . The phone costed me less than thirds of the price of a flagship phone and it is simply brilliant. Certainly you will miss the camera quality of the main camera and some other frills like Samsung AR and samsung html enabled email when compared to a flagship phone but there is no compromise on the quality of sound, reception, sensors, selfie camera, battery life. Absolutely no nonsense compared to oppo, realme and vivo which come with a lot of bloatware. None of these phones including one plus can compete with flawless darkmode on Mi9SE which is as good as darkmode offered on Samsung S phones.

So, screen; excellent, sharp, vibrant colours and bright. Performance; I have the 4GB/64GB version so everything is running smoothly and the octa-core processor is powerful enough for nearly anything you should reasonably want (I don't play games but I understand from Youtube reviews that it's pretty good for that sort of content). Some Xiaomi's use their own MUI interface overlaying Android (some use AndroidOne). The Note 6 uses (at the time of writing) MUI 10. I have to admit I'm not a big fan so I've installed Nova launcher (which is free, with little system overhead) which allows you to configure your launch buttons and home screen to your hearts content. I've seen some discontent over the camera but to be honest I think it's really good. Nice colour reproduction, sharp images, fast launch and focus and a good variety of camera modes. The video mode also has a slow-mo and time-lapse features. Overall, for the price, this is a fantastic purchase.

Having set a maximum price of £300 and a maximum screen size of 6" for an android phone I eventually decided to go with the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE. As I always use Nova launcher on my phones, I really can't comment on the stock MIUI launcher. The phone itself is responsive, the screen is excellent and I really like the fact that there's virtually no wasted space around the screen to make the handset unnecessarily large. Audio is acceptable, the fingerprint reader reliable and there seem to be regular software updates. The camera performs well enough and is a significant improvement over that in my old Huawei Nova. The biggest issue I have with this phone is battery life. If you leave all of the visual goodies switched on then you'll just about get through a day with average use of the phone. Too much in the way of browsing, playing games or watching films and you're likely to be reaching for a charger way before it's time to go to bed. There is a battery saving option and turning off some of the visual goodies could extend the period between charges. I also replaced the protective case that comes with the phone (nice that the manufacturer is prepared to provide one in the box) with one made by Spigen to give the phone a greater level of protection, particularly the rear camera which protrudes from the phone body. Overall, I'm quite happy with my Xiaomi Mi 9 SE and if you're looking for a well made phone that will fit in your pocket then you could do a lot worse.

I bought this to upgrade from a Huawei Y6 II Compact and whilst the Huawei was a great phone and served me well over the past 2 years, the difference between that and this new Xiaomi is night and day. The screen is massively bigger, vastly brighter and the phone feels significantly (and very noticeably) faster. It's incredible to think what you can get for your money these days in comparison to just a couple of years ago. As far as the UI is concerned I've been a long-time user of Nova Launcher so can't really comment on Xiaomi's own user interface. What I normally do is set up Nova Launcher, then once that's done the OCD in me switches back to the stock interface temporarily just to tidy that up a bit (and 'have a play with it'). But as NL is so reliable and good I just stick with that. Chrome feels lightning-quick as does my usual compliment of primary apps such as Amazon, PayPal, eBay etc. I don't game on phones so again I can't comment on that aspect though the reviews I've seen online seem to paint a favourable picture there too. It isn't a gripe as such but the weight of the Xiaomi is the only negative, but as this phone obviously has the much larger screen size it stands to reason it would be heavier. All in all I'm very happy with this model, and would easily recommend it.

Hard to believe, but I still have this phone and it’s become my go‑to secondary device whenever I need access to Android. After all these years, I simply replaced the battery and it’s running like new again. It really shows that Xiaomi delivers high‑quality products at a very reasonable price.

Très bon produit et livraison jour J-1 par rapport à la date prévue. Très agréable d'utilisation Version Globale (français) et coque de protection arrière fournie. MAJ dernière version Android V. 10.3.4 sans problème A regretter sur ce modèle : - pas de mode d'emploi (télécharger le mode d'emploi générique sur le site Xiaomi). Aller sur Youtube pour visualiser l'installation de base de l'appareil. - pas d'extension de carte SD - pas de prise jack pour les écouteurs (nécessité d'utilisé l'adaptateur USB-jack fourni - ne pas le perdre) - qualité photo correcte mais pas exceptionnelle Cela reste cependant un très bon rapport qualité/prix Je recommande de commander la coque de protection avec rabat HOOMIL d'excellente qualité et un kit de verre de protection d'écran à l'achat.

Das Mi 9 SE liegt echt sehr gut in der Hand und das Display ist sehr farbintensiv und selbst bei minimaler Displayhelligkeit hevorragend erkennbar. Der Fingerabdrucksensor funktioniert bei mir problemlos - selbst mit einem Displayschutzglas. Zur besseren Erkennung habe ich aber einen Finger mehrmals in den Einstellungen eingerichtet, somit geht es fast immer. Die Kamera macht stets scharfe und farbgetreue Fotos mit einer sehr guten Qualität, allerdings lässt die Helligkeit im Ultraweitwinkelmodus stark nach genauso wie die Schärfe. Alles in allem würde ich das Gerät aber stets weiterempfehlen!

Es un gran teléfono, rápido, cómodo en mano, elegante y de buen tamaño. Realmente es un teléfono con funcionalidades de gama alta pero con precio imbatible. Recomendable.

Con le sue dimensioni ridotte (147.5 x 70.5 x 7.45 mm) è sicuramente una validissima alternativa ai classici "padelloni" ormai di moda. Un centimetro di lunghezza in meno può sembrare poco ma una volta preso in mano lo smartphone sono un'enormità (a meno che non abbiate delle mani fuori dal comune). In questo dispositivo avete tutte le singole parti dello schermo a portata di UNA mano. Partendo dai punti forti troviamo sicuramente un eccellente schermo HDR super AMOLED (5.97 pollici) con rapporto 18:9 con una risoluzione 1080 x 2340 e densità 432ppi, la qualità dei materiali vetro anteriore (Gorilla Glass 6) e posteriore, il feeling, la maneggevolezza grazie alle dimensioni ridotte, il design, le ottime connessioni quad band (possiede la banda 20) per la rete gsm (prende veramente ovunque) e dual band per il Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, sensore infrarossi e USB type C 2.0. Il comparto fotografico è veramente eccellente grazie alle 3 fotocamere: - la normale con i suoi 48 mpx con apertura focale f/1.8 (senza la stabilizzazione), - la tele 2X (8mpx f/2.4) e - quella grandangolare ultra-wide f/2.4, 8mpx e angolo di campo qualche grado più ampio del fratello maggiore Mi 9. Con luce favorevole non ha nulla da invidiare ai vari top di gamma mentre c'è da dire che in condizioni di luce scarsa/notte ha alcune pecche (l'AI prova a metterci una pezza ma non aspettatevi foto da top di gamma). Dal punto di vista video nulla da dire ma ovviamente non è al passo dei top di gamma come nelle foto (d'altronde il mi9 SE è un dispositivo di fascia medio-alta). Possiamo registrare video fino a 4K a 30 fps, 1080p 30fps (probabilmente verrà aggiunta la possibilità di registrare fino a 60 fps) e 720p a 60 fps. Utilissima la funzione ritratto con effetto di profondità, la funzione breve video per instagram e la slow-motion che ci permette di eseguire video fino a 960 fps La tanto bistratta batteria (3070 mAh) per ora è ottima: messaggi, chiamate, email, 3 ore di streaming, social network e navigazione internet sono arrivato quasi a 2 giorni. Ovviamente le durate posso variare con l'uso wi-fi, 4g, cambi di celle, luminosità ecc ecc. Il processore Qualcomm SDM712 Snapdragon 712 da 10nm non molto energivoro e lo schermo super AMOLED vengono in aiuto alla durata della batteria. PRO: - Schermo HDR super AMOLED hd plus di eccellente qualità con neri assoluti, - comparto fotografico da top di gamma (in condizioni di luce ottima) - sensore ad infrarossi che può essere configurato (con molta facilità) e utilizzato come un telecomando della TV/Home Theatre ecc - riconoscimento facciale fulmineo - riconoscimento dell'impronta digitale sotto il display ottima (anche con vetro di protezione) CONTRO: - per ora nessuno ma bisognerà valutare la durata nel tempo. - se fate video (a me non interessano) la mancanza della stabilizzazione Da segnalare la mancanza del jack delle cuffie. Per quel che mi riguarda è un PRO usando cuffie bluetooth, per altri potrebbe essere un CONTRO. Per concludere la mia recensione vorrei ASSOLUTAMENTE consigliare questo dispositivo a tutti quelli che preferiscono la massima maneggevolezza, senza rinunciare alle ottime prestazioni di questo Mi 9 SE, e non vogliono acquistare i classici scomodi "padelloni".

Good price and good options
