Wee Tsai, a social media representative of Xiaomi, just rumored few photos of the upcoming FIMI X8SE 2020. The pictures show pretty nice upgrades, most of them we hoped for!
Back in 2019, the FIMI X8SE was one of the best Mavic Pro alternatives, but now it has become quite outdated in most aspects. FiMI promises that the new 2020 edition will have longer flight time, extended range, and better image quality. Furthermore, the FIMI X8SE 2020 will feature improved optical flow positioning with up to 30 meters range.
Update: Discount coupon code!!
Just received by email from BG two discount codes for the X8SE 2020. The “BGFIMICN2020” is suitable for the Chinese warehouse, and the “BGFIMIX8SE20” for ES/US/RU/AU warehouses. You have the option to purchase it with or without “FIMI Premium care” services. Update the first 1000 pieces that are offered for only $299!!!! Note: Expected processing time on April 29, 2020.

FIMI X8 SE 2020 details
I don’t get any flight data when I fly with my FIMI X8SE 2020. No distance, altitude, nothing.
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance
Hi guys, I just ordered a Fimi X8 2020, do I need a memory card for 4k video record? What speed and capacity I need?
Thanks!
64 class 10 U3 should be fine. Personally, I prefer Sandisk cards
Is there a way to connect a controller from a first-generation FIMI X8 (2018) model to an X8SE 2020 drone?
I got a new Fimi X8 SE 2020 for XMAS. Could you help me, how can I fix blurry videos?
2020 edition is shit like its predecessor….I just crashed my FIMI X8SE. It lost communication and it dropped out of the air suddenly…two broken arms and dead gimbal :(
Very good drone at a very reasonable price ~ 400 USD
does the fimi x8se 2020 have an optional thermal vision (night vision) camera?
Best GPS drone ever! Built quality, camera performance, flight stability all superlative!
Flight time is around 25-27 minutes from 100% to 15%.
The FIMI X8SE 2020 is the absolute DJI Mavic killer :D
From me it gets 10/10!
with $400 in your pocket, FIMI X8SE 2020 or Zino 2??
FIMI X8SE 2020 has about same features, but is newer and a bit cheaper!
The new Mavic Air 2 will kill this Fimi X8SE 2!
Yeah @jeff and the mavic air 2 will kill your wallet 10 fold more too SIMP
no design or battery type change from 2018? how could this 2020 edition have better battery life (flight time)?
it’s lighter.
yes, with about 25 grams. not a huge weight difference…..
so let’s recap: No obstacle avoidance, No 4K@60FPS and almost 1KG. The true is that 2020 version has theoretically, repeat theoretically 2 minutes extra flight time and 3kM plus range which most will never use it if you fly LoS…
Let’s recap the X8SE2020 drone is 350$
they switched from “pre-order” to “stock alert” do you know how can I use in this case the FIMI X8SE 2020 coupon codes???
Yes
Just bought xiaomi 2 days ago hoping it’s the 2020. Version got spare wings bag bought them separately expected in ten days if it’s not the new version I wont even open it I will put it on eBay at £460 with the fimi x8 se Original bag plus new red propellers all unused
Still no obstacle avoidance?
Still 350$
reveled in 2020, available in 2021 the coronavirus slows everything down
