Waiting for the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE? The company has finally confirmed that the smartphone will go on sale in the Philippines, two days after the device was teased online. What’s more, it will be offered in a few days’ time.

As with other devices of the company, the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE offers value for money, being priced at P15,990 (around $305) locally. That’s close to the phone’s price in China, where the base model retails at ¥1,999 (P15,236 or $291).
The Mi 9 SE is the first in the world to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 712 chip, which is quite similar to the Snapdragon 710 in terms of architecture and graphics performance. The 712 does have a slightly higher clock speed and support for faster wired charging. Plus, it should be able to deliver superior audio playback over wireless headphones.
