Xiaomi took the wraps off the Mi 8 models only recently and the Mi 8SE turned out to be an extremely popular model among the trio. The popularity of the Mi 8SE may not be unconnected with the affordable price tag it adopts. There are indications that the Mi 8SE will launch in India but with a different moniker.

According to Beebom, the Mi 8SE will be launched in India as Mi 8i and the launch will allegedly take place in July. The tipster didn’t reveal any further details. However, we expect the Mi 8SE or Mi 8i to hit India with an unchanged specs lineup with the Chinese version. 
As a reminder, the Mi 8SE is the first smartphone worldwide to launch with the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 chipset. The device comes with a 5.88-inch AMOLED display with a notch and an 18.7:9 aspect ratio. The display has a resolution of 2244 x 1080 pixel while the device has an 86.12% screen to body ratio. The design is similar to that of the Mi 8 which includes a notch display design. the screen resolution is 2244 x 1080 pixel while the device has an 86.12% screen to body ratio. The device also packs a glass back panel housing a dual camera setup and a fingerprint scanner at the middle. The device is available in 4GB+ 64GB and 6GB + 64GB versions. The supposed Mi 8i price shouldn’t be too different from that of the Mi 8SE which starts at 1799 yuan (~$280) for the 4GB + 64GB version while the 6GB + 64GB version comes in at 1999 yuan(~$312).
