Design

This is the first time Xiaomi has gone with a fully curved glass back on this smartphones, and it helped the Mi 9 settle really nicely into my hands. The Mi 9’s design ethic closely resembles Apple’s iPhone with a minimal bezel and notch-like front-facing camera. It is design with a metal frame sitting between two sheets of Gorilla Glass with an under-display fingerprint sensor to add to the premium look.

The whole back is made of a Gorilla Glass 5 piece bent towards the frame. There are ups and downs with these rear curves – they do make the Mi 9 look and feel thinner. It measures 155 x 75 x 7.6 mm, about the same as the Mi 8 despite the slightly larger screen.

Display

The Xiaomi Mi 9 has a 6.39-inch AMOLED screen display which is the same screen found on the Mi Mix 3, but with the notch cut out for the camera with a 1080-pixel-wide resolution which makes up for a very decent density at 402ppi the display is a better upgrade.

It has one of the tallest screens around with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9 and the display is protected by the latest Gorilla Glass 6 by Corning which is the most shatter-resistant glass in the smartphone world.

The Mi 9 OLED screen has a very decent brightness for 430 nits which can still go as high as 620 nits in brightness.

The display covers 90.7% of the front surface of the phone, with a reduced chin (now just 4.6mm) and tall 19:9 aspect ratio. A fingerprint sensor is built-in, and operates 25% faster than on the Mi 8 Pro and Mi 8 Explorer.

Camera

The Xiaomi Mi 9 introduces the company’s first triple-camera setup with with lenses for wide, telephoto, and super wide. The main camera has a 48-megapixel Sony sensor , similar to the camera on Honor View 20, shooting 12-megapixel for the main camera serving as a a 12MP telephoto snapper for 2x optical zoom, as well as a 16MP ultra-wide-angle shooter.

This Sony IMX586 48MP sensor shooter comes with a very large 1.6µm pixels and real-time HDR. while for the front camera we have 20MP selfie shooter.

Processor

Xiaomi is the first global smartphone packing the latest Snapdragon 855 by Qualcomm. The Snapdragon 855 is built on a high-end 7nm manufacturing process and it’s promising plenty of power and efficiency gains over its predecessor.

This Mi 9 processor comes with the new X24 LTE modem, capable of theoretical download speeds up of to 2Gbps which mean it doesn’t support 5G.

The new chipset uses an 8-core CPU design with 1x ultra-high-performance Kryo 485 Gold core (Cortex-A76 derivative) running at 2.84GHz, 3x high-performance Kryo 485 Gold at 2.42GHz, and 4x power-efficient Kryo 485 Silver cores (Cortex-A55 derivative) that go up to 1.8GHz.

This chipset is supported by a new Adreno 640 GPU which supports Vulkan 1.1, HDR Gaming, and Physically Based Rendering. And it should offer some nice performance bump over the 630 in the Snapdragon 845.

Mi 9 comes with a new dedicated vision processor that can now process depth mapping at 60 frames per second, which should greatly improve augmented reality applications. The new image processor also allows for 4K HDR capture at 60 fps, all while using 25% less power then its predecessor.
