Usb c is not free. OEMs have to pay huge license fees for using usb c. This is a huge overhead for cheap phones. As a result manufacturers ditch it for micro usb b.

Mate I commented this earlier also. THE DEFAULT RESOLUTION OF PUBG on which the game is made IS 720P MAX YOU CAN upscale it to say 900p beyond that icons will get small and buttons too. PLEASE CHECK OUT THE PUBG WITH ( 720P) (HDR) (Realistic) (AAON) (40Fps) by GFX TOOLS. TO PUSH IT (900P) (HDR) (realistic) (AAon) (60fps) THANKYOU IN ADVANCE CHEERS SANDY
I'm a proud owner, with miui 10 I've experienced no lag(apart from gesture navigations which I don't use), it really performs like a flagship and punches well above it's class. What other phone for a remotely similar price can match this one's incredible screen(on high contrast mode), beautiful glass sandwich design, very decent camera that takes similar shots to flagships in daylight, incredible battery life, much better than my friend's note 8 which has a bigger battery, I can get around 7 hours which is pure insanity. Yes the pocofone has a faster processor and a bigger battery but it has nowhere near as good a screen or elegant of a design as this one, and it's more expensive. Only cons are miui and no nfc but for $250, it is simply unrivalled, unmatched, unbeaten.
Oh, they're not well put together. But thanks anyway. This one took countless retakes on the A roll. I'm still working and learning to get things a little smoother.
Great review as always, very appreciated. I think Xiaomi has been pushing so many phones lately that they didnt had enough time to polish software on all of them. Hopefully they will address all the issues as soon as possible with ota updates. This is definitely my next phone, just gona wait untill price drops under 300$. Will you review the upcoming Mi Pad 4 by any chance ?
I'll be reviewing the Mi pad 4 for sure and hope to have one late next week.

I can't believe I still have this phone and it works perfectly fine! There's no a single scratch on it and the battery still holds up to 6 hours. Definitely amazed how well it performs after almost five years! I'm currently using Mi 11 Ultra as my main phone, but Mi 8 SE has its special place!
A Worth To Watch Video,Right Now I Am Using OnePlus One So Planning To Buy New Device And Mi8SE Is On My TOP Choices (Nokia X6,Zenfone 5 Are Also In The Queue But No Update For India Launch) So This Video Is Looking Very Helpful For Me. LOVE FROM INDIA!!
I hope I will get mine MI 8 SE on a few days from AliExpress. Very well balanced features and hardware for the price. The size of the phone is just right for me and fantastic look I can't ask more. Currently have MI Mix 2 with 256 GB and after a year of use still have 233 GB free. Thanks for great review and helping me to make a final decision about buying this phone.
I found this most fair gadget review channel several days ago. Thank you so much for delivering us very good reviews, especially Xiaomi brand reviews 👍
One day all phones will have Amoled + always-on notifications. I can enable that on my Redmi Note 5 with custom Rom. With its LCD it certainly draws too much, though it truly is a useful feature. The shxty notch is as useful as a dead pixel.
Just come across your channel, you are by far the best. You talk about about screen brightness, call quality, GPS and other stuff. I wanted to know do Xiaomi phones have problems with push notifications? Most Chinese phones I had e.g Huawei, Lenovo didn't have push notifications from WhatsApp etc..
The wireless speeds you talk about may be due to there being fewer bands supported compared to some of the other phones you have tested. The Note 5 Plus for example has band 4 support which is a major band used for LTE. I am about to buy the Mi Mix 2s, but keep reading about a potential refresh. If anyone knows about that please share. :)
i'm using this phone and so far i am happy with its performance and battery life.i just wish it had expandable memory or an 128gb option. my battery anxiety was fixed now its storage anxiety. T_T
This notch is worth having as it gives you an led flash, I'm glad we have it the 700lux display just isn't good enough, I'm just waiting on Xiaomi to got for a second notch at the bottom, for laser focus quad camera setup.
I think I'll just wait for the Redmi 7 and hope they include a audio jack and IR Blaster. And also a larger battery like the Redmi 5 plus has a 4000mAh ..
Thanks for another detailed and honest review ☺️. The phone has really good specs considering the price but I can't stand that oversized notch, did they really have to make it that wide? If it would be like on the Huawei p20 then I'd manage to live with it somehow but that is simply too much for me. Well, other than that there isn't really much room for complaint.
Hey, great video. I have a question. Is better a pickup a Mi Mix 2 or Mi8 SE? I don't play games so much on phones and use all time, all days social networks.
Oh.... I thought it would be my mi5s replacement, I got it love with those 8hrs battery life. But I do really like NFC, I love paying with the phone :(
Hi, Thanks for your good and honest videos. Which under 300$ xiaomi phone would you recommend for a user which isn't in havy games but more on youtube/netflix and photos ? pocophone or Mi 8 se ? Thanks
TechTablets.com, thank you a lot for your reviews. Watching your channel, even if I most of the time don't plan to buy something. Just trying to stay up-to-date. :)
How are the microphones in loud environments? Like a concert, or loud motor revving for example. I see many reviewers ommit this testing from their reviews
hmm would u recommend the zenfone 5 or this because even tho the zenfone 5's processor is a little weaker i was wondering if it is the better overall phone considering it will be similar priced
The eMMc 5.1 really has a negative and huge impact compared to the UFT 2.1 memory? Or it's not much noticable.. because the MI 8 SE seems fast no matter what
And in the end I bought Redmi Note 5, because of battery. And I think it was right choice, cause Im not using camera almost at all, and Snap 636 gives me enough performance.
Pls suggest me which 1 is the best phone between Xiaomi mi 6x / a2, mi SE, Mi 8... I need best camera for video calling & video, photos, mobile screen, & best processor which will be work for next 2-3 years... Which 1 is Best phone of value for money? Pls help me.....
Hi ! You are the best. Amazing phones. What your more good phone mi8 mi mix2s redmi note 5 or mi8se quality for the price and more good if don't see the price. Thanks
Redmi Note 5 is still one of my favourites. But I really do like the quality screen on this one. The IPS panels are a little too blue for my liking out of the box.
Xiaomi's specialty is to have one missing thing from each of their model ... Can I have a Mi8 with IR transmitter? no ... Can I have the Mi8SE with 128Gb? .... no ... Oh, look a new Redmi 6 Pro with 3 slots for dual Sim + SD card can I ... wait, it's not USB Type C for some reasons.
Why? ...
Jeremy Wickersheimer they're like luxury cars. You always leave one thing missing (or broken) because once you fix it something else goes.
Jeremy Wickersheimer redmi 6 pro is aiming for cheap price on some country like India so Micro USB is still a thing there
Absolutely agree... The Mi 8 without IR Blaster is the biggest bummer for me 😭😭
Usb c is not free. OEMs have to pay huge license fees for using usb c. This is a huge overhead for cheap phones. As a result manufacturers ditch it for micro usb b.
Seems they always have to leave something off, so silly!

Do you have china rom?
Great video! I hope to make videos as thorough and well put together as you someday! Thanks again for all your hard work covering these phones!

What i hate is the fact that when hiding the notch there is an extra layer of bezel under the notch. It really annoys me, i hope they fix it
I think that's due to the 18.7:9 aspect ratio of the display, the extra layer under the notch is used to give the display an 18:9 aspect ratio.
A Worth To Watch Video,Right Now I Am Using OnePlus One So Planning To Buy New Device And Mi8SE Is On My TOP Choices (Nokia X6,Zenfone 5 Are Also In The Queue But No Update For India Launch) So This Video Is Looking Very Helpful For Me.

Thanks for great review and helping me to make a final decision about buying this phone.
Glad I waited for your videos before I jumped yo buy Mi 8 / Mi 8 SE, I bought the Mix 2S instead, best decision ever, thanks a lot
Good move! Only the front camera is better on teh Mi 8 SE, that's really it.
Best youtube reviewer i ve ever subscribed
The biggest problem with the SE is the lack of all LTE international bands.
Well that's what you get. It's the Chinese version of the phone. You have to wait for international versions.
X Fade There will be no international version. All the other Mi8 versions have the LTE bands.
Fair enough. I see that the mi8 has band 20.
HardwareSense I really hope they introduce some more SD710 smartphones with band 20.

You have the Best Reviews Men!!! Keep up!
I find more interesting for the same price Mi Note 3 instead of Mi 8 SE so finally I bought the first one. By the way, what a nice place Denia!!
128gb 6gb RAM model of mi 8 se is available now, thanks for the review Chris ....
very nice review. even mentioned the video specs (even though very compact analysis). one of the very few reviewers who did it.
Nice review again Chris! Nice phone, no doubt..... Phones with mostly glass scare me! I think the mi 6x wins my heart more....
The wireless speeds you talk about may be due to there being fewer bands supported compared to some of the other phones you have tested. The Note 5 Plus for example has band 4 support which is a major band used for LTE.

Great review! Thanks for your time and great information!
Excellent review & most awaited one 😘😍
Thanks for detail review on my favourate Mi 8 S. E
i'm using this phone and so far i am happy with its performance and battery life.i just wish it had expandable memory or an 128gb option. my battery anxiety was fixed now its storage anxiety. T_T
Waiting for your unboxing of Mi 8 Explorer Edition 😊 as always great review Chris! 🔥
I'm not sure now I'll review it... loosing interest day by day as Xiaomi keep delaying it for whatever reason.
This notch is worth having as it gives you an led flash, I'm glad we have it the 700lux display just isn't good enough, I'm just waiting on Xiaomi to got for a second notch at the bottom, for laser focus quad camera setup.
Great review ;) Keep it up !!!
Reaching my hands in a few days. Can't wait...
Its good but in a month or so once they push out fixes it will be great.
Getting it too in a couple, hope to have Miui 10 soon.
Love your videos because you go deep into each reasons of phone.
Great channel and another great review.
waiting for ur mi8 review Chris. either that or op6 but I'll decide only after ur reviews.
Ok, it will be this version as it is the only one of the three with IR REMOTE Transmitter ... thank you Xiaomi!
Wich one makes better photos? Mi 8SE or Mi A2 (6X)?
Great reviews
Please make review between
Mi 8 se & Mi 6X
Thank you soo much
I will soon I hope. very busy!
Best review... subscribed😊
Great review..... Submit all features in less time.we hope so in your next review thank you
I think I'll just wait for the Redmi 7 and hope they include a audio jack and IR Blaster. And also a larger battery like the Redmi 5 plus has a 4000mAh ..
Thanks for another detailed and honest review ☺️. The phone has really good specs considering the price but I can't stand that oversized notch, did they really have to make it that wide?

Hey, great video. I have a question. Is better a pickup a Mi Mix 2 or Mi8 SE?
I don't play games so much on phones and use all time, all days social networks.
Use the camera a lot? Mi 8 SE then. The Mi Mix 2 camera is very average. Especially the front camera.
Awesome video man !
Oh.... I thought it would be my mi5s replacement, I got it love with those 8hrs battery life. But I do really like NFC, I love paying with the phone :(
Great video! Just the one I've been looking for. By the way, can you do a comparison between this and Nokia X6? Which do you think is better?
This is called detailed review.
Great review man. Will you review mi pad 4 if made available where you are ?
Yes definatly it's on my big list of things to review.
TechTablets.com Keep the good work you have places to go.
Great review! Mine is currently in the post, did you use the case that came in the box? I planned to use that so is rather worrying if so.
I used it 90% of the time and the one or two times I did, it was scratched!! So pissed off with that.
Nokia 7 Plus review please!!!
Hi,
Thanks for your good and honest videos.
Which under 300$ xiaomi phone would you recommend for a user which isn't in havy games but more on youtube/netflix and photos ?
pocophone or Mi 8 se ?
Thanks
Can you compare this one against the Lenovo Z5? Im chosing one of those to be my next phone...
I hope you will review Mi Max 3 that hopefully will be realesed soon! :)
I will, I still have my Mi Max, use the Mi Max 2 as my main phone and really looking forward to the Max 3. The rumours of it sound good.
TechTablets.com, thank you a lot for your reviews.
Watching your channel, even if I most of the time don't plan to buy something. Just trying to stay up-to-date. :)
How are the microphones in loud environments? Like a concert, or loud motor revving for example. I see many reviewers ommit this testing from their reviews
Good work bro
i definitely waiting for mi max 3 with same sd710. the battery life will be the longest we ever see.
It should be crazy good if it's 5400 + SD710. My guess is an easy 12 SOT+ 3-4 days before charging.
Great video. Thumbs up (y)
MI 8 se is good looking phone and nic processes 710 also good display I am waiting so hardly this phone
Would look forward to a comparison between mi8 se and nokia x6
Great review, really enjoyed it, kindest regards Richard U.K
Hi cris , I bought both mi 8 and gaming mi i5 gtx 1060 do you think it is a good choice and will they good last like mi 6 and notebook pro ?
hmm would u recommend the zenfone 5 or this because even tho the zenfone 5's processor is a little weaker i was wondering if it is the better overall phone considering it will be similar priced
What do you think upgrading from a5 2017 to mi8 se
Aag laga diya
Does the chinese version that you reviewed here have google playstore installed?
I'll probably wait until it falls under 300$ and miui 10 is released. But for 250-300$, what other alternatives are there?
Honor play
@@bryanperoxide1771 this has a better screen, design, even performance slightly, definitely camera than the honor play
@@pranavdixit6157 it can't even play netflix on uhd
@@bryanperoxide1771 big deal
Who watches Netflix on their phone anyway? Its not a deal breaker
Nice review, Chris. You have quite shaky hands @ 2:14, maybe too much coffee? 😄
The eMMc 5.1 really has a negative and huge impact compared to the UFT 2.1 memory? Or it's not much noticable.. because the MI 8 SE seems fast no matter what
Chris, would you say that for 300$ this is a good deal, or would you rather recommend something else for that price?
I would rather buy Mix 2S than Mi 8 because that notch.
wait for a year if u can i feel like notch will go away
That's what I did, love my 2S
And in the end I bought Redmi Note 5, because of battery. And I think it was right choice, cause Im not using camera almost at all, and Snap 636 gives me enough performance.
The snapdragon 710 isn't optimized for miui 9. It is the 10th version which will shine with the chipset when a stable rom comes out.
Pls suggest me which 1 is the best phone between Xiaomi mi 6x / a2, mi SE, Mi 8...
I need best camera for video calling & video, photos, mobile screen, & best processor which will be work for next 2-3 years... Which 1 is Best phone of value for money? Pls help me.....
I have a mi note 3, should I upgrade to this? How do the cameras compare
No 1080p EIS recording? I was wondering if it'd perform better or at least the same as redmi note 5
Hi ! You are the best. Amazing phones.
What your more good phone mi8 mi mix2s redmi note 5 or mi8se quality for the price and more good if don't see the price. Thanks
Redmi Note 5 is still one of my favourites. But I really do like the quality screen on this one. The IPS panels are a little too blue for my liking out of the box.
Thank you :-) finally not the more expensive. And the big battery is great with middle Soc ;-)
hey Chris as u said in another video that if u hide the notch on mi8/se there is an extra layer under the notch. does that happen with op6?
please make a comparison between Mi 8 SE and Mi 6X pleassee
Can you review lenovo z5
Sounds such a good device for the price only 215 $
Hope you take it for a review + camera test
I hope to see much better phones with the SD 710, better than the Mi 8 SE.
Awesome! :D
Should I buy that or redmi note 5? What would you prefer?
Buy that
Waiting for Redmi 6 Pro review on your channel.
thank you
Must review Mi pad 4 😍
Somehow it seems Xiaomi doesn't make this phone seriously.
Certainly the software isn't there at all. So many phones they are cutting themselves thin.
This phone looks very cool . Does this phone have miui 10 update eating for give away
Mi 8 or honor 10? For the camera
Honor 10 (though personally I prefer the Honor View 10 even more, and then the Nokia 7+ even more)
KAR KOD Mi 8
Honor 10 can't even compete
I'd guess that honor 10 cam is better than the mi 8, less overexposure
Pratyush Kishore +1
Mi 8 beats OP6 in every department thou. Even in benchmarks
The regular mi 8 does not beat the camera on op6, that is ridiculous. Chris tells it like it is, xiaomis latest phones are overexposing.
mi8 se or nokia x6 which one would be better overall guys?
Mi 8 detailed review after a month usage pls ?
Looking that way. I'm using it now but waiting for a GPS fix and more bug fixes. OR MIUI 10 stable.
TechTablets.com hi, can u pls comment on battery life of mi 8 ? Or is it too early I have asked this question ?
I love the design better than the mi8, but i prefer mi8 specs
128gb version is up guys!
When is the release of international version?
Can you post a link of your Global ROM for the Mi 8 SE?
does mi 8 se support otg flash disk?
Should I go for mi6 or mi8se?
Are you coming with Oppo find X review
Nope, too many big channels have covered it and the price of that phone. I will maybe review the Vivo NEX instead.
it will be launching in India.....?????
Is always on display available in SE?
Will there be a global version of the Mi 8 SE?
Can you do a more detailed gaming comparison?
I don't really think there is any need. It runs everything really well.
TechTablets.com you said there was something regarding optimisation thats why i asked..
The biggest con is lack of storage/ storage extension!
Is the global version available or not yet??
