So let's just agree, the one feature you Value above all is the size of the Mi9SE right?

That is the only reasonable point you've made so far in this Mi9T versus Mi9SE argument.

Ok, let us also agree that the feature y'all value above the mi 9 SE is the processor and the battery right?

This is you just over-reaching here. As for me and a whole lot of phone enthusiasts, we would rather have feature(s) even though they are rarely used than not have them at all.
You never know when some features will come in handy.
So, your irrelevant talk is just trying too hard to console yourself for buying a phone with less features.

@godspeed Bros! you sha no wan gree say the time of your phone don pass grin

Whether you want to accept it or not OVERALL the K20/MI9T gives you better value for your money.

The only and I mean the only reasonable excuse a person should be buying Mi9SE over Mi9T today should be the smaller size.

Some might Nitpick and point to Infrared and slightly better camera sensor on paper, but I am yet to see a comparison that confirms Mi9SE produces better picture quality because of just that.

I know it's very sad to see your recently bought phone get relegated so quickly, na xo me sef feel wen Note 5 commot angry But my Note 4 still better am sha tongue you can confirm from @Gptech grin
Lame, the time of my phone done pass too quickly. Between the k20 pro and Samsung s9 of last year I know which one I'll easily choose.

See before I chose the mi 9 se, I seriously considered buying the mi 8 of last year, in the end, it was the size of the mi 9 that prevailed so age has nothing to do with this

Bros the picture quality of the SE is confirmed better than the k20 series. You read an American even mention it in the same breathe with the pixel 3a. The 9 SE has better picture quality and I'll show u proof.

And of course the size is still a compelling reason to choose the 9 SE.

Features like radio, headphone Jack and the likes are so irrelevant in the tech world of today.

I just asked all my colleagues in the office now if they listen to radio on their phones and you need to see the look in their eyes, the question sounded so ridiculous to them.

Mckandre:
but the fact remains that k20 packs a whole lot of punch than mi 9se. Ure comparing phones with small batteries to k20 like as if u dont remember ure in Nigeria,its a known fact those phones re premium and they try as much as possible to maintain the aesthetics by all means thereby sacrificing huge batteries to light weight form factor. And if ure to pay more attention u will notice that they compensate the small batteries with wireless nd fast charging features to make things convenient so u won't bother with the small batteries and those features alone adds to the cost and cost friendly is what k20 brothers re trying to achieve.

Do u know what actually brought about the notch display? undecided its the race of achieving a high screen to body ratios that led OEM into creating notch, water drop nd punch holes and for u to say that full display isnt the future is simply myopic like u haven't been paying attention to mobile phone trend.

To say we re labouring to make the k20 better is just bizarre like u dont see the bigger picture here, we base our analogies on facts that re laid down on both devices but it seems yours Is rather taking a personal angle to justify that ur purchased Mi 9se will still be in vogue.

Yes, u hammered so much on the battery that was why I had to cite the example of Samsung putting lesser batteries in their flagships.

The S10+ which is the highest seller of the S10 series is 4100Mah.

The A series released this year came with 4000mah and above albeit a few like the A60
I tot you said I was so last year.
By your logic, the Samsung m20 must be better than the S10+ since it has a 5000mah battery.

Abi?
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by godspeed: 2:36pm On Jul 18, 2019

I laugh, you say Samsung don't use upto 4000mah batteries on their devices, then you are so last year. Only Apple is still lagging behind in that aspect and their have been alot of complaints about it.

The traditional 3.5mm headphone jack still produces better sound than wireless.

GSMARENA you say. I don't take a lot of comments on the Gsmarena comments section seriously.

Saturday it is.
Genius, Samsung s10 is 3400mah

whenever arguments re done here,we always argue with facts from researches that was extensively carried out. We don't just rush into argument with claims just to appease the moment,no! u ve to back ur statements with facts which i can't see u doing. In all the things u ve said here, u haven't actually said anything about the PROS Mi 9SE has over the k20 brothers but when it comes to CONs nd dealbreakers, i think the Mi 9 se has no contenders here cos it excelled in flying colors in that criteria. Pls When making comparisons,stay on context dont deviate from the subjects. Speaking of subjects,the comparison table u brought up doesnt seem ideal because the k20pro is on a different league on its own (but I'll use it since the k20 brothers basically has the same build). And again u seem to be having difficulties understanding gsmarena comparison table(don't fash, nobody is an island of knowledge) cos if u did u would ve spotted alot of dealbreakers from the Mi 9se side.

Mi 9se cons

Battery
3070mah against k20 4000mah(pls dont start with "battery doesnt matter only optimization" cliche, this aint different OEM, they re all products of Xioami running MIUI) u wont talkmuch on this if ure really a heavy user.

No 3.5mm jack
Who doesn't need the raw audio quality from that 3.5mm jack?

No FM radio
Its not always about the internet, sometimes u need to come down to basic nd get in touch with reality but u wont get those if u don't ve FM radio.

Slow fingerprint sensor
Mi 9se has an older generation of the sensors.

Last gen Processor/GPU
Sd712 against SD730 well, let me not laugh at that statement u made "apart from SOC" who says that? Haven't u heard of NEW means better,upgrade means better improvement,even the nano manufacturing process should tell u about power efficiency.

No Full screen display
The world is going into this era. u wont like to ve an antique as a daily driver,would u? Going for k20 means better future proof



Mi 9se PROS

Ir blasters present
Y
I stand to be corrected
See, I'll respect the(unwritten ) rule of the thread and wait till Saturday before giving a robust response to u and others, but then I can resist the temptation to quickly quash all u wrote up there.

Battery: I already told u premium brands like Samsung and iPhone dont even hv up to 4000 mah on their flagships and they are still doing fine or is k20 pro better than them simply because of the battery.

Headphone Jack and fm radio in 2019? Like seriously? Features even iPhone have ditched for more than 5 yes. And like the SE does not hv an adaptor if u prefer earphones.

Yes I said apart from SOC. Really how much of it do u even think u use every day. And like a higher SOC does not come with a price.

Design going antique? How sure are u that the full screen will catch on .OEMs today are still using the punch hole even in newer models, remember not every device copied the iPhone's notch and their design still stood out.

You guys are just labouring to make the k20 better than the SE by force even on GSM arena, I hardly see anyone deride the SE cos of the K20.

In reality, what is the difference sef and one costs more than the other as at today

lemme clear ur doubt
google pixel 2 for instance don't hav the new imx586 sensro but still edges out most of the device with the new senor
Secondly
about the pop up camera
mention any user facing any problem with the popup cam?

thirdly battery
lols bro
believe me if ur a heavy user u will keep ur mouth shut!!
watch frankie tech battery drain test den come back and correct ur self ..the mi9 even hav a better battery backup than the se
but when compared with k20 it really look like a mess

fourthly processor
sd 730 performs as good as sd845 in day to day task
bpth in gaming it fails short
sd730 is general better both in gaming
that's why it's an upgrade u goat!!!

fifthly
when mi9se was released it was priced just like the mi9t around 110k upwards
so i think the price of mi9t will drop
but for 119k
mi9t is a steal i repeat is a steal!!

And he forgot that the Mi 9T/K20 with a better SOT and battery cost the same with the Mi 9 SE at launch. Both were priced at ¥1999 when they were launched in China

bro take a look at this stuff from the real angle this arguement is not even scheduled to exist,mi 9 se failed the battery backup is poor, and that kind of not it,if I am saying this wrongly correct me,the mi 9 se falls behind the radar when it comes face off with redmi k20 they are not match,not because k20 is a newer device,please dont misunderstand me,it was not just the device for the people

oya just take a look at the supposed mi A3 xiaomi how does it compete with the redmi note 7 pro?
My friend, mi 9 did not fail in any aspect including your much maligned battery. The battery lasts for more than a day and some premium brands like Samsung have similar specs even on their flagships

In terms of sale,somebody posted it here sometime ago, the mi 9 se was the third best selling xiaomi phone of 2019 behind remi 7 and mi 9.
.it moved to the fifth when the k20 series came along and that is to be expected because they are newer devices.

If u truly believe the mi 9 se failed, pls Google it up from any source, known for mediocre, and paste ur result here for all to see

Now let me take ya'll on on this since y'all want this debate so badly.

The mi 9 SE is better than the k20. Take it.

The only area ya'll can confidently point to where the k20 trumps is the battery nothing else.

As for the battery, it powers the device for more than 24 hrs and charges fast so that is a non issue.

Even some Samsung flagships come with a similar 3070mah battery and nobody is complaining. Bigger does not always mean better.

Now to the SOC, this is the most laughable part of ur arguments. Sd 712 vs ad 730. Be honest with yourselves, if u handle the two phones without having a prior knowledge of the specs, will u be able to tell which has a superior chip. Hello no! You guys attach too much importance to this SOC even though a lot of you can never tell the difference in 2 devices without been told.

Like the writer said, I was also using an sd625 before, Samsung c7 pro ,and it was able to handle everything I threw at it effortlessly including HD games. No heating, no lagging, so why should I be bothered about a 712 vs 730 SOC

And coming to camera performance, stop consoling yourselves, the SE trumps the k20 hands down. Sony imx 586 vs Sony imx 582.

I know most of u search YouTube with keywords that favors ur position that's why u keep seeing reviews that say the k20 camera is better. A random Google search will tell you which is better in the camera dept btw the 2 phones and ues its the SE.

Most of u are just In the euphoria of a newly launched device that's why u are so bias with this ur position.

And coming to the pop up camera that gazes tall, that is the exact reason I don't even fancy the k20.
No 1 the technology is relatively new and has not been rigorously tested
No 2, real phone enthusiasts will tell u they are scared of phones with moving parts

And u have the cowardice to include display? You must be a clown, you just read an American comparing it with the Google pixel and rating it above Huawei

Below is a comparison of the mi 9 SE with even the k20 pro, apart from the SOC, tell me what the deal breaker is
