The top-tier Explorer edition, with its under-display fingerprint reader và advanced laser facial scanning tech, sadly hasn"t made a visit to the office, thus far. Still, we got to nhận xét its vanilla mi 8 sibling, which left a pretty good overall impression.

The primary camera has also seen a bit of a downgrade. You still get a pair of snappers, but the second 5MP one has a purely supplementary role, for depth sensing in portraits. The fancy new dual-band GPS radio is notably absent, as well. To lớn be perfectly frank, however, that"s still a mày 8 exclusive feature, at this point, s owe can"t really be sore khung its absence on the mày 8 SE.

All things considered, the mi 8 SE offers an amazing package, complete with Xiaomi"s exciting new trendy design and an equally exciting fresh chipset setup. All this & more, without breaking the bank, at an MSRP of just around $350.

Obviously, there is a lot of ground lớn cover with the new mi 8 SE, so let"s dig right in, starting with the retail box và its contents.

Unboxing

Xiaomi"s retail box of choice is quite simplistic, in a very Apple-esque way. That is, trắng all around, with the exception of a sizeable eight figure on the front, in all colors of the rainbow. We can only imagine xiaomi liked Apple"s approach lớn bringing some attention to the punchy AMOLED màu sắc pallet of its device.

Anyway, the box is a standard two-piece affair. Nicely thick & really durable, which is all we really look in a container. Inside - a proper plastic cradle, to lớn keep the mày 8 SE that little bit more secure. Also, a fairly rich accessory package, including a very compact 18W wall charger, certified for Quick Charge 3, just lượt thích the phone itself. Also, a Type-A to Type-C USB cable và a type-C khổng lồ 3.5mm audio dongle.

Yes, not even the ngươi 8 SE was spared the "courageous" treatment. Not really a surprise, though, looking back at the ngươi 6. At lest, unlike its siblings, the mày 8 SE did have enough room left lớn fit in an IR blaster.

Also inside the box, a pretty nifty soft silicon case, so you can start using the ngươi 8 SE right away, with some extra piece of mind.
