News & Reviews:   Xiaomi Mi 9 specs

Xiaomi has been consistently teasing about the new Xiaomi Mi 9 flagship for a couple of days now, and this time around, the latest information has been shared by Xiaomi CEO, Lei Jun of what we can expect. So without further ado, here are the juicy news on the features and tech specs.

Expected to release on the same day as the Samsung Galaxy S10 which is on the 20th of February, CEO of Xiaomi, Lei Jun, shared a first look at the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 9. Alongside the photos, he also shared a teaser video of the smartphone as well.

The Mobile World Congress 2019 is coming real soon and many smartphone brands will be turning up to show off what they have in their sleeves. Like most smartphone brands, Xiaomi will be showing up and have just released a teaser image with a tagline "We Make It Happen". It's very ambiguous, but it's heavily implied on speed since there's a person running and it could point to a new smartphone instead of a technology. Perhaps the Mi 9?

Redmi’s president, Lu Weibing, started a poll on his Weibo account to determine which display design is the most popular among users. Currently taking the lead on the poll is camera pop up screen. Interestingly, Lei Jun, Xiaomi’s CEO voted for the waterdrop notch display, sparking rumours that the Mi 9 may come with a waterdrop notch.

The upcoming Xiaomi Mi 9 is Xiaomi’s upcoming smartphone. Latest renders of the device have surfaced online and it shows the smartphone with a teeny tiny waterdrop notch as well as very slim bezels on the side. The smartphone does have a slight chin, though. It is speculated that the device may be priced at 2999 Yuan (~RM1819) and may be unveiled in March.

The FlexPai, the first foldable phone in the world, was announced last week, utilizing the rarely seen Snapdragon 8150 chipset. Now, an upcoming phone by Xiaomi, specifically the Mi 9 is rumoured to be utilizing the chip as well, according to Gizchina.com.
