Xiaomi Mi 9

The Xiaomi Mi 9 is a high-end offering from the China-based smartphone vendor. The device is the successor to the Xiaomi Mi 8 and packs significant improvements over its predecessor. The smartphone is bundled with a rear-mounted fingerprint reader which is strategically placed for optimal use. Users also get the face-unlock feature which is enabled via selfie snapper on the front. Following the trend of notched-display devices, the Mi 9 also sports a notch. On the imaging front, you have dual 13MP+13MP rear sensors capable of shooting impressive images even under the most demanding light conditions. There is a dual LED flash at the back that comes to rescue in low-light conditions. On the front, the Xiaomi Mi 9 comes loaded with a 20MP wide-angle lens for selfies and video calling.

The Xiaomi Mi 9 boasts a 6.4-inch Full HD+ AMOLED screen that ensures an immersive visual experience coupled with excellent viewing angles. Thanks to the AMOLED panel, outdoor legibility under bright sunlight is not a matter of concern. There is also Corning's Gorilla Glass protection which protects the screen from day-to-day usage. At its heart, the device is armed by an octa-core Snapdragon 8150 chipset and 6GB of RAM to enable seamless performance even at peak consumption. One can also enjoy a lag-free multitasking and gaming experience on the Xiaomi Mi 9.

The Xiaomi Mi 9 is bundled with an onboard storage space of 64GB which unfortunately cannot be expanded any further. Keeping the lights on is a non-removable Li-Ion 3,500mAh cell that is touted to last more than a day. If you are a power user, there is nothing to worry about as you also get fast charging support.

Based on the Android 9.0 operating system with proprietary MIUI 10 skin on top, the Xiaomi Mi 9 ships with all the regular connectivity options. These include 4G with VoLTE, dual SIM support, GPS, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, and a USB Type-C port.
