There is no information available on the other specs of the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE. In April, it was revealed that Comet and Sirius are the two codenames of the upcoming Xiaomi Mi series smartphones.

The Comet phone could be featuring a regular display, but the screen of the Sirius phone is expected to feature a notch.
