This device really has built quality. Overall use for 3 days so far so good. The feel is premium when you swipe through the phone. It does not feel like a mid-range phone. I will never be so satisfied using an Android phone. Previously Mi 8 SE also not feel as premium as this Mi 9 SE. I give 5 stars for the built quality in the mid-price range.

i still wonder why xiaomi still not producing many mid range or flagship that has small screen size, at least below 5.8 inch. this phone is perfect for one hand handling and doing great. we asian need more small size phone that easy in pocket please. also, I dont mind to pay lil bit more for this phone if the audio jack is there, with extended memory slot available. Cut cost at the screen size, put back the memory slot and audio jack

Okay I got this phone yesterday (the 128GB-version). First impression when unboxing it - wow! I have not been this impressed with a phone since Oneplus X. It truly feels and looks quality. The compact size is perfect. Once you are playing with it the screen feels much bigger thanks to the aspect ratio. My wife said it looks like an iPhone and I guess thats what Xiaomi was going for so they really nailed it.
Design 10/10
Looks and feels like a true flagship. I got the piano black and it looks like a phone for Bruce Wayne. The compact size is also very comfortable. Cant believe 147mm is compact now a days. It has the same height as my old Nexus 5X.
Screen 10/10
AMOLED and HDR = wow! I dont minde the dot notch you forget about it rather quickly. This is one of the reason why I bought this phone. Its a Samsung screen and those are among the best in the industry.
Software 8/10
Its not stock android but I dont mind MIUI. It got some usefull apps there but as always with android you can customize it as you see fit or download another launcher. I use it as it is.
Battery 9/10
Easily one day goes by without me loading it. It takes about 1;30 to fully download which is insanely fast comparing to my old iPhone 6S (2:30h).
Camera 9/10
For the price its a great camera. There are some usefull tweaks here and there that you can manipulate with and the night mode is awesome. Camera made by Sony btw.
Overall 9/10
I dont see why I should buy 1000 euro/dollar phones when companies like Xiaomi produce great and cheap phones like this. I'm greatefull to have it and I hope they will keep supporting its software so this phone will be even better nexy year.

I never liked this phone for its internals but I really, REALLY like the size. It lacks weight but god, the dimensions is perfect for me, and it's really close to the size of an iPhone X/Xs so it makes sense.

Gregor, 18 May 2019Still too heavy. Xiaomi should have trim down the weig... moreMi 5's backcover is made of plastic. That's why it has 129g weight while Mi 5 Prime/Pro's backcover is made of glass and it is heavier. Also I think the thickness of the Mi 5 Prime/Pro's glass is thinner than Mi 9 SE has.

This phone is great for its price!!
In my Opinion:
Display 10/10
Size 10/10
Camera 9/10
Performance 10/10
Battery 7/10 (heavy gamers should be aware)
Mid range price = flagship quality

Bukoba, 16 May 2019Eagerly waiting for the detailed review of the Mi 9 SE here... moreBattery life is good. Just use as many dark modes as possible, because it's an OLED Display. Also, at lower battery, it charges 20% in 10 minutes. No headphone jack is no problem, unless if you want to charge while listening to music. Loud vibration doesn't bother.

Please someone (using Mi 9 SE) advise possible Endurance Rating of this phone, comparing to another older phone with a rating.
(For example, Mi 8 SE had rating of 86 while Pocophone F1 has 94 and Redmi Note 7 has 108; so what could be the rating for Mi 9 SE).
Thanks,

The phone is absolutely great. It is hard to believe that you are not holding a flagship. Screen is great for an amoled (I prefer IPS for color), the phone is very responsive too and the camera is top notch. Battery life is comfortable 24hr+ with normal use.
My complaints have to do with tje desing. It is 7.9mm thick (not 7.5mm as inspec) but because of the symmetric sides which do not curve to make it better tp hold lile the mi5 it feels thicker than it actually is. The camera bump is big too, much bigger than i expected.

When it comes to the vibration motor, its absolutely not true, the motor is very quiet. And of couse the lack of 3.5 mm jack is there, but I got used to it very soon.

Still too heavy.
Xiaomi should have trim down the weight to 129 gram, it did that with Mi 5, why can't it do it now.

I'm interested in this phone, the size is perfect for me, but unfortunately, until I do not know what battery behavior is, in standby and in use, I say no.
