Which one should I choose between Honor 9i and Xiaomi 8SE? The price-performance ratio is too different, the answer is obvious

You can experience the latest trendy notch screen mobile phone for only about 1,000 yuan. When iPhone X first launched the notch screen last year, no one dared to believe this news. Now Honor and Xiaomi have their own notch screen mobile phones priced at 1,000 yuan. They are Honor 9i and Xiaomi 8 SE. As the latest popular models, their prices are also in the 1,000 yuan range, which makes many people entangled: Honor 9i and Xiaomi 8SE, how to choose? Let's compare the two mobile phones and see which one is more worth buying.

In terms of appearance, Honor 9i is better

Since both phones have notch screens, people will naturally pay more attention to their notch screens. So, which of the two phones has a better notch screen?

▲ Xiaomi 8 SE

▲Honor 9i

The first impression of the notch screens of the two phones is that the Honor 9i is more beautiful. First, the notch of the Xiaomi 8 SE is too large, which is abrupt and affects the screen-to-body ratio. In addition, the rounded corners of the screen and notch of the Xiaomi 8 SE are not as round as those of the Honor 9i. The notch is also square, and the screen is even squarer, giving the impression of a serious face. The notch of the Honor 9i is smaller and cuter, and with the symmetrical treatment, it naturally looks more exquisite.

On the back, the Honor 9i also looks more refined and rounded than the Xiaomi 8 SE, and the color is more fashionable.

In general, the Xiaomi 8 SE has a tougher appearance and is more suitable for straight men. The Honor 9i has softer lines and fresher colors, making it a better choice for both boys and girls.

The two mobile phones have their own advantages and the price-performance ratio is higher for Honor 9i

Xiaomi Mi 8 SE uses Qualcomm's latest mid-range chip Snapdragon 710, which is more advanced than the chip of Honor 9i. However, Honor 9i has the "scary technology" GPU Turbo blessing, which can approach the mid-range mobile phone in terms of gaming experience and run more smoothly.

In addition, the Honor 9i is equipped with 128GB of memory, while the Xiaomi 8 SE only has 64GB of memory. Many people choose the notch screen because of the good video viewing experience. Many people will choose to download videos to their mobile phones. The Xiaomi 8SE only has 64GB of memory, which is not enough. In comparison, the Honor 9i's 128GB of large memory is more advantageous.

In terms of price, the 64GB version of Xiaomi 8 SE is priced at 1,799 yuan, which is 100 yuan more expensive than the Honor 9i with 128GB of storage, which is priced at 1,699 yuan. It can be seen that the Honor 9i has a higher cost-effectiveness than the Xiaomi 8 SE.

Xiaomi Mi 8 SE has gorgeous surface parameters, while Honor 9i has better actual experience

Xiaomi Mi 8 SE is more gorgeous than Honor 9i in terms of camera parameters. Its front 20-megapixel camera is higher than Honor 9i's 16-megapixel camera. In fact, the quality of a mobile phone's photo-taking effect cannot be judged by pixels alone. It is also closely related to the photosensitivity of the mobile phone camera. Honor 9i's front-mounted photosensitivity-enhanced camera has a photosensitivity that is 4 times that of a general thousand-yuan phone, and the experience is better than Xiaomi Mi 8SE.

The selfie effect of Honor 9i's front camera is more natural. The selfie effect of Xiaomi 8 SE is like what Lei Jun said, "micro plastic surgery". After rhinoplasty, chin sharpening and other operations, the final photos are all the same internet celebrity face. Recently, Wang Ju from "Produce 101" has become popular, which shows that the mainstream aesthetic is still more inclined to real beauty and natural beauty. Xiaomi's internet celebrity beauty that is the same for everyone is probably out of date~

The Honor 9i, which has better performance and experience than the Xiaomi Mi 8SE, starts at 1,399 yuan, which is 400 yuan lower than the starting price of the Xiaomi Mi 8SE! In the 1,000 yuan range, the 400 yuan price difference is indeed not low. The price-performance ratio of the two phones is already clear.

With its notch screen, GPU Turbo support, and fingerprint and face dual recognition, the Honor 9i is worthy of being called the most cost-effective thousand-yuan phone.
