      8EE will be the favorite phone due to its unique finger print scanner and somewhat special back, but the real volume where people actually buy will be 8se and 8. This time dxo mark is available for mi8 so i expect mi8 will be best seller (8se camera will not be as good as mi8)

        Rick, 03 Jun 2018Notch - bye bye.Bro the notch is not a problem stop saying that the notch is bad, that is horrable is just a notch not even sansung can put the camara and the other things under display the notch is perfect for the phones that want to have more screen or besel less so please dont follow the stupid persons that took bad about the notch

          To each his own, and by that, the Mi 8 SE is my thing.
          And it would have been perfect... But... Why the squarish profile???
          Why cant't it look more like the Mi 8. I feel itbis 2008 all over again.

          So sad, because it is otherwise perfect for me.

            Notch - bye bye.

              all of them are so perfect ...
              as a OnePlus fan , I have to admit that Mi 8 is worthy than OP6 with this price tag.
              Mi 8 SE is the outstanding midrange , defeats OPPO R15 pro so far ( with lower price )
              OnePlus doesn't make sense since OP5 , they should settle for issues ( being oppo copycat ).
              xiaomi phones always have better battery life .
              even phones like iPhone X don't have special points against Mi 8 except double price ...
              even Mi 8 has better connectivity, camera , battery , more advanced CPU etc .
              although MIUI (xiaomi user experience) has changed (improved) much more than before , still you can flash your own rom using Project Treble easily..
              what u want more dude ? lol

                Explorer and SE for me

                    Haters gonna hate. Those who value their money will enjoy it despite of some shortcomings. If you don't like it don't buy it.

                      TheGoldenMellifluous, 03 Jun 2018Well , as i already do my research on this website about Mi... moreMi 4s was released together with mi5. It was not a flagship, but something like mi 5x/6x.

                        Shanti Dope, 03 Jun 2018You can whine about those no jack, no SD Card Slot, a huge ... moreAnd that's why this flagship is so popular on the charts for now!

                          You can whine about those no jack, no SD Card Slot, a huge notch and chin, etc., but let me ask one thing; can you get any better overall device than any of these phones in their respective price points??

                          You've got to remember that even some phones within these phones' price ranges of their own also have flaws, that are often even worse.
                          OnePlus 6 also has a notch, but costs even more.
                          The Galaxy A8+ 2018 has all of those essential features, but has a performance level way below the Mi 8 SE, yet somehow still more expensive.
                          There goes the Galaxy Note 8, which has inferior performance and again, still more expensive!

                            The iPhone X version 🤣

                              Brandstifter, 03 Jun 2018The primary camera is good. The internals are good. Everyth... moreWow. You absolutely roasted this phone a lot, but people still want this one because of how cheap it is.
                              The reasons why I don't like Xiaomi are software and being the best example of copycat company.

                                Mi 8 explorer for me! Gorgeous!

                                  The primary camera is good. The internals are good. Everything else ranges from meh to awful.
                                  Notch? Meh.
                                  No minijack? Meh.
                                  No micro SD? Meh.
                                  Scanner on the back? Meh.
                                  On-screen buttons? Meh.
                                  Glass back? Sucks.
                                  MIUI? Sucks outside of China.
                                  Size? Uncomfortable.
                                  Not waterproof? Atrocious.
                                  Design? I've seen that somewhere...
                                  There may be other flaws I've forgotten to mention, but surely no more advantages.

                                    The SE would be great if it had UFS storage.

                                      One side it is looks like totally iPhone X, other side it is has great specs. So nope.

                                        Oppaii, 03 Jun 2018I like the Mi 8 SE because of the specs but i really hate i... moreAgreed.
                                        Out of the trio, I like the Xiaomi Mi8 Explorer most. However...
                                        ...the Mi 8 SE is definitely the better device when considering the specs and price!

                                        Still I hate the; lack of aux port, lack of microSD slot, no front speakers, rear fingerprint scanner, rear-glass, camera hump, pointless dualcam, weird aspect ratio, bottom chin, and the notch.
