In an attempt to beat the Samsung hands down, Xiaomi has recently launched its flagship smartphone in China. The newly launched Mi 9 is geared up by Snapdragon 855 processor and comes with triple camera setup.
What’s more, the device features wireless charging. Although Mi9 is not the first phone powered by 855 chipset, the assurance that the phone will be readily available definitely makes it the first commercially available Snapdragon 855-powered smartphone.
Specifications and Price
Mi 9 flaunts a wonderful 6.39-inch AMOLED screen with a Full HD resolution consisting of 2340 x 1080 pixels along with HDR playback. The phone is equipped with a waterdrop-style implementation and flaunts a 90.7% screen-to-boy ratio. Additionally, the massive and beautiful screen is coated with a protective layer of Corning gorilla glass 6 to keep it protected from the daily scratches and damages.
The phone is made up of 700 series aluminum with a thickness of 7.6 mm and weighs just 173 grams.
Talking about the cameras, Mi 9 is following the path adopted by Samsung. Just like the Samsung Galaxy S10 series, Mi 9 also features 3 cameras. The first of them is the standard 48 MP camera which is equipped with a Sony IMX586 sensor.
