Mi 8 SE only start to sell at PRC (China Mi Store , JD) by 8 June 10 am ...

RMB 1799/1999 - 4/6 Gb Ram, all 4 colors

https://item.mi.com/product/10000100.html
https://item.jd.com/7437782.html

-ve aspect of mi8 SE from JD buyers' comments

1. emmc storage (slower read/write as compared to flagship mi8 which uses ufs)
2. poor battery life, though it is designed for 1-day usage.
3. photo shot under low light condition is poor (same as mi8)
4. no nfc (this is from me cos China uses QRcode :s13: )

But the expected of this phone. I suppose its rated as a cheaper flagship phone? Given that it has less few of the expected features from flagship phone.

Yeah, actual real life usage one cannot really differentiate the difference in speed between eMMC 5.1 and UFS 2.1.

Battery life looks meh.
around the same as the mi a1 with 5-6h SOT if u use it with data and a full 24h cycle. good enough to be better than most flagships but not a 2 day phone by any means.

You have both Mi 8 and Mi 8 SE?

Other than battery life, can share which do you prefer and why?
