Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite - User Reviews

  • mi 9 lite of course

  • Have not tested face unlock yet. Takes decent photos though and fast. Finger print working well without tempered glass. Waiting for tempered glass protector to be delivered.

  • How's the camera and fingerprint response rate so far?

  • Mi 9 lite (chipset SD 710) better than A 70 (chipset 667)

  • Battery has been OK so far. Off charge this morning at 100% 8 hrs ago @ 52% battery currently. Screen at adaptive brightness mostly high level. Screen being highest ranked @ 27% usage and on time 2hrs 41sec. Will have to do a clean test to estimate YouTube endurance.

  • Mi 9 lite

  • Mi 9 lite

  • would it work with a UK virgin media sim card?

  • Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite or Samsung Galaxy A70?

  • Initial basic review from Australia on Optus 4G network. Phone is spectacular so far:) Delivered in sealed plastic wrap with included clear TPU case as specified by Xiaomi. Charged to 100%, chose not to use Mi apps, ads or launcher. Using Evie launcher. Language setup gave English (United States) for '$' sign, even though Aussies use the UK spelling of words. Easy fix for that using another keyboard such as SwiftKey with Australia downloaded and US disabled... then when I type Sydney Har... Harbour is shown as it should be. So far loving the phone. Full 120+ app restore alongside everything else, updated to MIUI 11.3.3 (droid 9 still) and full system update 100% battery down to 80%. Clear beautiful amoled display. High brightness. Initial finger print setup was not as expected. Went to settings and did it again moving thumb position gradually. Did it four times over four print profiles. 2x right thumb and 2x left thumb. After that the scanner may require a slight hold, it's not always instant press, but it should unlock no worries. After lock, the display fully sleeps after a few moments. On any movement it shows the fingerprint unlock image on screen, fantastic! Storage wise, after all 120+ app installs, MIUI 11.3.3 update and all system app updates I was left with 10.61GB on the system storage partition and 105.92GB Available overall out of the 128GB total. Apps @ 10.89GB, no pics, no audio, 120mb cached data and 457.31MB other files. For sound I tested YouTube with Metallica "That Was Just Your Life". It's loud enough but at max volume emits the usual hiss. I'd say it's not as good a high level volume as previous phones I've had but I usually don't sit there and listen to Metallica through the phones speaker. If I'm doing something and can't wear headphones and don't have another device then I would sit the phone down on a good surface, sometimes within a tube to give extra effect, though with this phone it isn't going to blow my mind and none really did before it. It's loud enough in reality. Time will tell for a follow up basic review with general usage, screen time YouTube and the kids versus the battery. So far, happy chappy :D

  • First time i`m using another brand than Samsung. I was very curious about Xiaomi but it`s working just fine. Having some trouble while playing music from Spotify using the phones speaker. Att lower volume it`s sounds like crap. Playing youtube videos or streaming Netflix it`s working as it should.

  • Hi All i want to know is that will Xioami launch any phone using Snapdragon 710-712 in India, No phone till date that has been launched using this chipset in India. This could be a successor to Mi A3 as Mi A4. Xioami should think on this seriously as this chipset has proved its success for Realme & Vivo till date, hence can be used by Xioami as well. Please do share your comments on this.

  • Does this phone support widevine l1 for HD Netflix?

  • Yes it says Adreno™ 640 GPU and the Mi web site is wrong, Qualcomm web site under SD710 spec. assures gsmarena specification for Adreno™ 616.

  • I already had same experience as you, also about screen preview. But it is unstable. Sometimes tinted preview appears for only a second, while the shot is processed and saved, sometimes there is no tinted preview at all. I can´t figure out what makes the difference. But the tinted pics seem to be permanently gone. - except that Google WB always gives a slightly different result than normal AWB. It is a matter of personal taste if you like it or not. For me, the AWB of the stock Camera looks more natural. Overall, Gcam pic quality looks better, but not overly impressive, as I had hoped.

  • Fingerprint scanner doesn't work with 0.3mm Nillkin tempered glass.

  • waiting for your review mate, good luck!

  • What about the GPU 640 or 616, in webbsite it say Processor Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 710 Octa-Core Processor 10nm process, up to 2.2GHz Adreno 640 graphics processor

  • It's fixed now after I restarted my phone but thanks for your suggestion

  • I'll be reviewing this phone when it arrives via post. I'm in Australia and it has all the 4G network bands my provider utilises. Redmi Note 8 Pro does not have all the bands my network can use. Mi 9 Lite has AMOLED screen for stronger sunlight usage. That's about it really, besides the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 is more power efficient per cycle. I want power for general usage not a few games.

  • try again without screen protector or tempered glass..

  • Friends I have a problem with fingers lock i set only one finger lock but it is unlocking with all fingers even other person finger are working . Help me give any solution please

  • Huawei nova 5z or Xiami 9 lite which is the best to buy

  • Yes

  • I use the same version like yours. Go to setting, find AWB setting and set to google. And reboot your device. It will get rid of tint color of your pic result. But after you taking pic, screen preview still have some tint volor. But as long the result dont have tint color, it doesnt matter.

  • with no doubt, it has SD710 check xaomi homepage

  • are you sure about Snapdragon 845?

  • Mi9 lite 100% is better do not doubt! Mi9 lite It has more features

  • Mi9 lite used snapdragon 710 cpu Mi9 lite 710 is true 👍

  • realme 5pro comes with plastic body on back side thats the only difference

  • Even the xiaomi themselves said the same thing on snapdragon 710 bro

  • no , as far as ı know, using SD710

  • Hey, would you sat smthg note about it.Specs says IT supports high res audio.What headpfoness you used. Did you try to send music VIA bluetooth using apth HD codec.If yes, what is your experirnce?

  • mi 9 lite has snapdragon 845. According to gsmarena it has snapdragon 710 which is wrong

  • i can't decide between Realme 5 pro (8/128) and Xiaomi mi 9 lite (6/128) cause in italy cost the same but Mi9 lite has better camera and software. Are there some real advantages i haven't considered ? I would be very thankful if someone could help me decide :)

  • I have seen some people here have said Mi 9 Lite works with GCam. My experience is it works technically, but is still useless because all pics come out with various kinds and levels of color tints. I reported this a couple of days ago on a German site and immediately 2 other users confirmed they too deemed Gcam useless on Mi 9 Lite for the same reason. The version I used (and the only one I have found) is this one for Mi CC9 available on: Can anyone comment on this?

  • Does it overheat excessively? "Yes it does" is not acceptable giving that there is not much information online any heating issues with the device. Found something about the Mi 9 heating issues but please provide details of how much/long it takes to achieve substantial heat. Does it not have aluminium housing which would reduce heat internally but transfer externally onto ones hands?

  • Support screen mirroring

  • Yes there is

  • This is more of a question rather than a comment... Does XMi 9 Lite supports connection to an external device like TV or monitor?

  • Wow, that's horrible

  • Yes. Maybe in AOD but not for now

  • i have a camera problem. when I switch from shooting to video recording, everything freezes and as a result I cannot do anything on camera. i have to turn it off and on again to take it again. I can't even think of a video. Everything works great on the G-cam which means it's not a problem in the camera but in the program. same problem on miui 10 and miui 11 after update. I hope they solve this problem as soon as possible. bye

  • So its normal ?

  • whats good of mi9 lite

  • during games max 40-41°C

  • Only backside led notification?? Thanks

  • Front n back

  • Please can any one tell me if the mi 9 lite has overheating problems?

  • hi , mi 9 lite OR mi 9 t ??

  • Almost same price but big difference in processor, wide angle camera and battery efficiency. Get the Mi 9 Lite.

  • can anyone guess mi 9 lite or redmi note 8 pro

  • Yes

  • Yes

  • Go for POCO without any doubt if you are a power user. And if you care about designs and looks, Mi 9 Lite. Personally I'd pick POCO any day.

  • Portrait mode better redmi note 7 gcam or mi 9 lite? Redmi note 7 makes very beautiful photos in sunset on portrait mode with GCAM.

  • GCAM work on this phone?

  • Processor - Poco Screensize and Type - 9 Lite Camera - 9 Lite Infrared / NFC / Battery Life - 9 Lite

  • hi, anyone help me, i am confused on which phone i choose between Poco F1 or Mi 9 lite. i love this two but i can buy only one of those. anyone can help me to choose? thank you

  • How to identify the Xiaomi Mi9 lite global version and Mi cc9 version separately

  • Gorilla glass 5 front only ?

  • I'll leave here the same question I left on the review's comment section: for anyone that has already bought and tested the phone, are the night shots' quality posted on the review the same as yours? I ask this because I went over lots of other (video/text) reviews and they all say that the camera's night shots are not that good. Also, when you compare shots from other reviews to the ones here, it seems as if gsm people took those night shots with another phone.

  • There will be MIUI 11 and Android 10 for Mi 9 Lite. Rest assure.

  • In general processor matters for phone's speed. But ram matters too. In multitasking ram matters a lot. This phone is great. Go for it. I want to buy it too. But I've never used a phone with amoled screen and I'm afraid of burn in issue. When you keep the brightness to maximum and never change the wallpaper it will cause burn in. I keep the brightness as minimum as possible and never change the wallpaper. Will it cause burn in? Please help.

  • does the RAM matter's on performance? thank you..

  • cat 15/13 means the device is LTE 5G ready !

  • lte download speed max : 800mb/s lte upload speed max : 150mb/s check qualcomm documentation on their website

  • downlink cat15 uplink cat13 (cat6 is old now!)

  • yes look to snapdragon 710 official website

  • Can you please advice me a relatively cheap Xiaomi phone pls?

  • Hallo guys please help, i am torn between the MI 9 Lite and the MI 9. Main cameras are the same i.e a 48 MP SONY IMX 586 sensor, but the MI 9 has a better Ultrawide camera and a telephoto camera. The review shows the ultrawide photos from both cameras are not far apart, personally i dont need a telephoto camera. My question is does the 32MP camera on Mi 9 Lite take better photos than the 20MP of the MI 9. or is the selfie camera on MI 9 superior since it is flagship? has anyone used these two phones. thanks in advance

  • Does this phone supports cat6 or higher network tech?

  • Don't complain please. This phone is great for everything.

  • xiaomi went to crap.. I have a2 lite having my whole life xiaomi redmi phones..And now they relies half phones..Is it so hard to give us 7xxx+ procesor,4gb ram, 1080p screen under 15cm, with jack phone, card slot 4000mah battery? backscreen fingerprint? Like wtf xiaomi??

  • the real price is 300€/$ max

  • Mi has announced via their website that mi ui 11 will be rolling out to the mi 9 lite in October 2019. It should get android 10 also

  • something doesn't add up. Mi 9 lite is now available for purchase on xiaomi website (italy at least), and it costs €399 (>$400). Does the price here need update?

  • does Mi 9 lite does not belong to get upgrade to android 10 and MIUI 11? Is there anyone know that.

  • does Mi 9 lite does not belong to get upgrade to android 10 and MIUI 11? i read an article that Xiaomi released/announced a list of phone to have upgrade , and Mi 9 lite is not in the list. anyone have an idea? thank you.

  • Lite then pro are you kidding me hahahahaa

  • October 24th launch Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro to arrive with SD730G, 108 Camera! Maybe coming Mi 9 Lite Pro too! I waiting this!

  • in all prospectus mi 9 lite is better then redmi note 8. beacuse midiatek porcessor are not gd gor long time usability .

  • try A/B build if not working try aonly

  • If you already have unlocked your bootloader, go to GSI github and download AOSP builds by phhusson !

  • Amoled screen : long battery life SD710 : no overheating even after heavy gaming SD710: bluetooth aptx HD mi9 lite camera :imx586 better than samsung gw1 The only pro on RN8 pro is the HDR option available on pubg, but if this option is enabled... be prepared for overheating after 1 hour of gaming ! Custom roms are often available on snapdragon (after unlocking your bootloader) : GSI, pixel experience, lineageOS ... With MediaTek, you will stick with MIUI forever !

  • Are there custom rom support for this phone, like Lineage OS or Pixel Experience?

  • do a comparison in the gsmarena website... the final choice is yours !

  • In between Redmi note 8 pro and Mi 9 lite, which one's better to be bought overall? Thanks in advance.

  • global version (mi 9 lite) comes with google dialer. so no call recorder. mi cc9 (chinese version) comes with miui dialer (call recorder available in the app settings). if you have knowledge on flashing roms with fastboot, you can still flash system.img from the chinese rom (fastboot .tar package not the .zip update) Unlocking the bootloader is requiered before !

  • Am interested with the product how will I get it

  • Mi 9 Lite is faster, yes. Camera is also better, escpecially with Google Cam installed. Battery is MUCH better on Mi 9 Lite. Suma sumarum, Mi 9 Lite is better phone.

  • I have now Galaxy S7. It is still fast and has good camera for my needs. If I get Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite, will it be faster than Samsung and - camera is it better?

  • yeah i have seen a video on youtube testing the OTG

  • I Need Xiaomi supporting Mirror! does any that has the device and answer me this? can this MIrror?

  • Not to sure about this one, mine came form China and had Google phone on it but I put rom from xiaomi.eu and it has built in call recorder, it's great, try checking out some YouTube videos

  • Hello all, does it have build in call recorder in call dialer, as prevorious xiaomi had? Thanks.

  • does Mi 9 lite support OTG? thank you..

  • Go into the settings, it's under special features,led light, there's a time limit on the led light sometimes, and make sure the led light is activated for the apps you want

  • The sound is very good from this phone, I put powerapp on it and it's amazing quality, I had a Sony Xperia x before this and this blows it away, this phone has aptx hd

  • The update is on xiaomi.eu about a, week now, I have it and its brilliant

  • My Mi 9 lite led lights dont blink for notification, what shoud I do?

  • I'm really thinking about upgrading from Mi A2 lite to this MI 9 lite I wonder if it worth it. I like the specs so far from the mi 9 lite.

  • What about the speakers of this phone? Is it good and loud enough even using with headphones?

  • Let's face off to the flagships ^^ ..damn samsung 10 delivers all I need in 1 device buuut no more Sammy for me though !!!

  • Is there any news for miui 11 update for mi 9 lite.

  • you can buy Global Version at LAZADA.

  • Just bought this phone today. I was very impressed till I found out that it has a crappy bottom during speaker

  • if you have money, of course you must upgrade ... why ? superamoled screen, better cpu/gpu, fm radio, better battery, large ufs storage and micro-card slot !

  • there is no memoji in mi 9 lite, where cc9 has this option though both are same bt it might dissapoint u

  • When it will release globally specially in the Philippines? October or nov?

  • + lte bands, nits in brightness ... and price !

  • Is this processor good? I like the fact that it has card slot and 3.5mm

  • Yes

  • Yes CC9 cases and screen protectors for Mi 9 Lite They are the same phone but CC9 us Chinese edition and 9 Lite is Global Edition. No difference except software.

  • Mi 9 lite or Mi 9T, and whether they have the ability to record telephoning.

  • does tempered glass and case of Mi cc9 can fit to Mi 9 Lite? thank you..

  • I've been using mi8 lite for 5-6 months. Do you think that should i upgrade to the mi9 lite? I dont think so, but im curious about your comments

  • Only guessing. Since they're working on it maybe about after this weekend or some time next week. I don't work here to know their plans though.

  • For when the review?

  • 2 - Yes (1 - I guess but can't say for sure)

  • 1 - Does it enable camera 2 api and will support GCAM. 2 - Does it support always on display.

  • yes

  • does it have fm radio

  • B20 100%. Official global version and ROM so ofc dialer works.

  • Does this phone have both miui dialer version and band 20 support?

  • For the people looking for reviews here you have some options. Keep in mind that the CC9 is the Chinese version of Mi 9 Lite English: CC9 vs Mi 9T: Spanish: French: You can use YouTube's auto translate to get a sense of what is being said.

  • 6,4" Super AMOLED screen with Gorilla Glass 5? SD card? Relatively large 4030 mAh battery? Snapdragon, so theoretically no overheating as suspected with Redmi Note 8 Pro? Is the sound that really bad, as all other mentioned specs seem exactly what I need, and can't find a mixture of them in any other phone at a reasonable price. I don't care about performance or camera by the way, and use headphones rarely, so the sound from the speaker matters mainly.

  • You can search through review tests for best sound phones. I'd wait for 9 Lite review coming soon to learn full information. Then decide based on that and the price which is better option. I could have 9 Lite way cheaper than 9T from local seller (also thanks to SD support) so it seems both are relevant.

  • Wait for the review

  • I chose mi 9t becuase it is better

  • Yeah it's pretty fast nowadays and it won't get better. GSMA now displays more detailed price in specs so it may help people understand. But if you read comments people wrote just while ago about it, you'll see they're ridiculous. As for a phone, I'd say maybe Mi 9T Pro for value and futureproof at the same time (switch to OTG) but you may insist on SD or something else. Well enough phones for a price and more to come. :D (including some Xiaomi this year) If you spend some time here you'll gain some insight.

  • I am looking for equipment that is characterized by having the best sound capacity with headphones, including HI-RES quality, good battery performance and processor. If you had to choose between the Mi 9 lite and the Mi 9T, which one would you choose?

  • Mi 9 se definitely. Lite has stronger battery but bigger screen, so it's the same in the end.

  • I honestly forgot about this thread and this dispute !! I just don't know on what to rely on anymore, every single month new phone , new price and such. I know I can't be asking for futurewise phone cuz seems ridiculous, still I want it to last at least 3- 4 years ( maybe more ^^ ). So my budget is 400 euro, call me ol-fashioned I am still into jack, sd-slot and NFC ^^

  • Mi 9 lite

  • mi 9 se or mi 9 lite?i really like the size of mi 9 se,but the battery of mi 9 lite is better.

  • If U mean RN8Pro review here, let's wait for their 9Lite review to see.

  • available in LAZADA. you can ship anywhere in the Philippines.

  • Speaker is terible in comparation with mi 8 lite

  • It has the same parts as the Xiaomi Note 8 Pro, and the review looks awful, record high distortions, record high crosstalk...

  • Nothing wrong with the audio performance mate, audio jack and Bluetooth. Don't know where you got that from

  • I have heard in reviews that it takes about 1,5h to charge from 0 to 100. In my experience it charges almost 30% in 20 minutes. I don't play games so I don't know about that but haven't heard anything bad about it. Overall I'm very satisfied with the phone. It has all the features I need and I like the MIUI as well. It's clean, fast and comes with some handy features that you don't even get with the flagship devices.

  • Please launch this in the philippines

  • The headphone audio performance seems to be one of the worst possible, a deal breaker for me. Very nice phone in all other respects.

  • Hi, there specwise the CPU is the same. Allow me to list what you get in Mi 9 Lite - Super Amoled Screen - Flagsghip cameras (same setup as Mi 9) - IR Blaster (for TV remote, etc) - Better UI - Better Hardware build (more premium) - Better Updates - 32MP selfie (better) - Anti Bluelight certification TUV (for night time reading eye protection) - and many more... Plus the community of Xiaomi is great.

  • Thanks for the link, good comparison. How much time it takes for 0-100 charge? Does the mobile heat abnormally while playing games?

  • Does this have the same outdated PenTile oled matrix display that is used on Mi A3 ?

  • İs your phone EU version, İ heard that EU version ROMs have have no call recording while global ROMs have

  • Is your phone global version?. I heard that EU ROMs do not have call recording while global versions have.

  • The video stabilization on this phone is OK when you record in 1080p but it's pretty bad when recording in 4k. I prefer the mi 9 lite over the 9t because it has expandable storage which is important to me. It also has a better camera and the battery life is a bit better as well. Here you can see a nice comparison between the two phones: (the cc9 is the Chinese version of mi 9 lite)

  • This phone comes with a transparent case. So you have protection right from the start. You can order a new case from AliExpress by searching for "xiaomi cc9". It's exactly the same phone just the Chinese version. Just make sure it's not the "cc9e" Because that is the mi a3. If you have ordered the phone from tobydeals then I guess you'll have to wait a while until you get it because this is a Hong Kong based retailer.

  • it's not too good news, but thank you

  • NO, is not an option to call record, in the standart calling phone menu !!!

  • Hi friends. Please for answer only from Mi 9 Lite's owners: Is there an option to call record in the standart calling phone menu?

  • Very bad video sttabilization. Is it true?

  • Just waiting for the review for me to make the choice: Mi 9 lite vs Redmi Note 8 Pro.....

  • GSMARENA team, please try to get your hands on Mi 9 Lite and review it. Please, pretty please, I need to read your review first to buy it

  • Will be available in Egypt soon or no

  • which is better.. Mi 9 Lite or Realme 5 pro? any suggestions?

  • When this phone will be launched in Malaysia? I want to buy it

  • will this be coming to the middle east?

  • I'm pretty sure 4/64 does not exist and this is just a mistake. Ask them on Lazada if you still doubt.

  • Mi 9 Lite or Mi 9t? It's the same price in my country. Also I noticed Mi 9 Lite video stabilization is very bad.

  • yeaph

  • then, as LAZADA sell the variant of 4GB/64GB.

  • It was stated that base version will have 6gb-64 gb

  • hi i would like to know/clarify if what is the correct RAM of Mi 9 Lite? 4GB on 64GB variant? or 6GB on 64GB variant? anyone who could help. thank you..

  • yes please! i am so tempted to buy this!

  • We would be happy if you guys review this phone like mi 8 lite :)

  • it does. check it on main Mi 9 Lite page on xiaomi global website

  • agreed

  • USB On-The-Go capability?

  • Mi A3 has 6.01" display and Mi 9 lite has 6.39". Mi A3 has 720 x 1560 pixels resolution and Mi 9 lite has 1080 x 2340 pixel. Big difference for me

  • Yes

  • 15500pesos

  • its fm radio bulid in or not? tnx

  • Hi everyone, I am a big big fan of everything Xiaomi. I would love to buy this phone but have one question, does it support NFC Pay (Google Pay)? Thanx

  • Is this the global version ? Is available in the philippines ?

  • To me, this is Xiaomi trying to make up for their "mi a3" flaw.. Imagine if this was the mi a3 with android one.. It would most likely be a big hit.. Ooh well, nice device though.. Great specs, good price..

  • Yes

  • ir blaster?

  • it uses the same snapdragon710 processor as of realme 3 pro and it also have 960fps super slowmo, that slowmo is not compatible with SD710 i think the super slowmo of this phone is also fake

  • Just ordered this phone (international version) in the UK via Toby Deals - which, if it lives up to it's published specs - should be very good value. 1st time I've bought an "international version" phone and slightly concerned it's going to arrive with Mandarin as it's base language, which will be an issue for me. However, what I hadn't thought through, is that it's so new that the even the Xiaomi site doesn't sell any accessories for it and the ebay sellers haven't started selling cases specific to it. At 156.8 x 74.5 x 8.7 mm, it's the same size and looks like the same camera configuration as the Xiaomi Mi CC9mt, for which you can get a case from a HK seller, but it doesn't arrive till late October - giving me nearly a month to wreck the phone! Any reassuring voices re international versions and ideas about fast delivery to the UK phone cases would be appreciated.

  • Is there any option for manual camera setting? Like manually controlling the aperture and the shutter speed?

  • Mi 8 lite has wifi 2x2 mimo, but I don't see this spec. in the Mi 9 lite... sound strange to me... 🤔

  • It's available on Amazon US now

  • When it would be available at Bangladesh??

  • Mi 9 lite supports fortnite while mi a3 doesn't

  • Exactly my thoughts. In contrast with let´s say classic Mi 9, it has sd card slot and headphone jack. As well as NFC, amoled display, type C and fingerprint reader in display. Best phone in this price range by far in my opinion.

  • When it would be available here in the Philippines? hope that the price is from 14k to 16k.. anyone who know's the price? thank you..

  • Hahaha it has all the extra specs I need but not the top Snapdragon 855/855 plus. Meanwhile all the phones with Snapdragon 855/855 plus don't have 1 or 2 things that I need like as card slot or audio jack

  • Sadly, no. Logo on the back shines and some said does it instead.

  • It has e-SIM compatibility?

  • good deal from Xioami. Notification light on this anyone?

  • excellent offering, xiaomi! great specs and size.

  • Wonder if you got this right... This was about some complain over again and then again about same thing (price) every time new Xiaomi phone appears. Even though DO have enough information, fail to conclude they're never pricy but instead do repeatedly opposite. So please... BTW neither am I buying for 800 but this price range.

  • Mi 9 Lite I think better deal.

  • Just want NFC... and I am sorry but I aint gonna spend 800-900 euro anymore no SIR, enough is enough I won't be that sucker, but if I am to I'd better go with the shitty iphone at least I all be a special snowflake !!!

  • Hope,It will be arrived soon in India ,We are waiting for this device and thought it might be released with lowest price Compare to other brands . I trust in Quality,connectivity and Love the Configuration .

  • Yes, here in Serbia also, costs 20 euro more than Mi 9t... Just wait a month or two and buy it if you really want this model. But i would buy Mi 9t regardless, much better phone either way. But i'll stick to my faithfull Poco, no need to upgrade or something like that. It is still awesome buy, one year later.

  • In where im from, this device price higher than MI 9T. Mi 9T can be get 50 USD cheaper.

  • Not exactly the same, this one has global support of LTE bands. If you don't need this then save and buy CC9.

  • why is it more expensive than CC9 when its the same phone? it feels like its better to just get CC9 and save ~ $60. Regardless. This phone seems to be a beast for it's price

  • Is it gonna come to India? Expected price?

  • Perfect successor to my Note 5 AI!

  • hope arrive to egypt

  • please launch it here in Philippines

  • When will arrive in Pakistani region.

  • 616

  • I was so surprise of the pricing of this phone. Besides its also packed with features like, audio jack, IR blaster, better form slimmer phone factor, not motorized camera. I was stunned to discover it is tightly priced a bit lower than Mi9Tpro. The SOC, is lowered so to save cost, this phone is not Lite, it should be Mi 9X.

  • What GPU is in Mi9 Lite? Adreno 616 or Adreno 640. Xiaomi official web site described as Adreno 640, which one is correct GPU.

  • If they have the same price than mi 9t pro is better

  • Mi 9 lite or Redmi note 8 pro?

  • Neither. You should get the Mi9t (use Coupon codes on certain Websites to get it for 267/290 USD (64/128), *cough* Bang *cough* Good). It is almost exactly the same as the Mi 9t Pro except for a the Soc and some minor stuff.

  • Mostly it's hard to release such amount of phones at once to make it globally. Name is not important if they have it this way.

  • It's basically global cc9. Pretty pointless to release another one imo.

  • If you don't know why would you want 9T Pro then buy 9 Lite. It's cheaper and doesn't lack anything. However if your price isn't too different only advice can be 9T Pro.

  • GG5 glass

  • Mi 9 Lite

  • 9t pro if they both at the same price them 9t pro 100%

  • mi9t pro or mi 9 lite ???? Any feedback????

  • = about Motorola Zoom One.

  • Please I want to know, does mi 9 lite have a gorrila glass 5 back? Or it is metal or polycarbonate back?

  • I guess you can call it "Mi A3 MIUI edition" then

  • Nope, Mi CC9 Chinese and Mi 9 Lite global version of the same phone. Same CC9e and A3 but the latter is Android One device.

  • Interesting phone, but... Even priceier 400 (or less) and 4 GB ? :/ What about their software, IDK much but must be okay at least and then camera is crucial and must justify price and RAM, IDK if it does... While searching information, I'd wait for full review here to see more.

  • It's not supposed to be SE upgrade or so. It clearly fills the gap in midrange section: 9 Lite - regular notched 9T - notchless SE - compact + either equipped specifically. Keep comparing uncomparable prices LOL. You guys should better think more and complain less instead. You'd find out price isn't really a problem if you don't demand it too low (like 250). LOL.

  • No : CC9 (China) = Mi 9 Lite (Global) CC9e (China) = Mi A3 (Global)

  • Count me in, it has all I need, infrared(this perk is a bonus), Jack, SD-card, mm goody, NFC ( I hope it works and I can pay shiets with it ^^ ) Also the price is around 300 euro hmm nice, but honestly I can't decide between this and MOTOROLA ONE ZOOM!??

  • nub... CC9 is chinese version of Mi A3..

  • u kidding me? this is Mi CC9 you meant?? CC9 is a chinese version of Mi A3? and Mi A3 is a global version of CC9??? I'm kind of confuse lol... the heck is going on Xiaomi u just keep repeating the phones. Mi CC9 and Mi 9 Lite have same specs.. but different pricing? for what reason?

  • Phone is on the weird spot. it's not a refreshment on SE ver. Technically it has same / a bit lower spec than SE, but has a size of regular Mi 9 (but far lower spec). Mi 9 nowdays should have priced similarly with the Lite release price, and we have mi 9T variant for value.

  • Sorry wrong information from article here. No 4/64.

  • Mi 9 lite but ask your budget first 😊

  • mi 9 lite is better (super amoled vs ips lcd)

  • I can't tell by test of course but there's no reason to doubt. For sure it has B28.

  • Not anymore Mi 9 lite won't be android one Also Mi 9 lite doesn't have wireless charging

  • mi 9 lite or redmi note 8?

  • Does it really has the LTE band 28(700)?

  • GSMA please add 4/64 GB memory to the sheet yet.

  • No wireless charging.

  • no and no

  • does it have a wireless charging? and I hope there's the Android One version

  • Looks like "the golden middle" between Mi 9T and Mi 9 SE. Looking forward to the upcoming presentation. And hope that the cost will be a little lower than Mi 9T.

  • Hope it will not identicall, notification led on back is useless.

  • If this phone is identical to the CC9 then the "Xiaomi" written at the back of the device is a multicolored led notification light.

  • Yeah and a way better 13 mpix wideangle lens..

  • Agreed mi 9 lite must be the global edition of cc9, that would be great for international customer that can't read or used china rom.

  • Add ois, led notification and make phone with perfect specification for me. Hope for reasonable price. Will it have a notification diode at front?

  • CC9 just for China Market with China ROM only while Mi9 Lite will be Global ROM. Similar case as CC9E and MiA3

  • Think. The point is 6.4 inches screen notched model with selfie-oriented camera. Unlike SE which is smaller one 6 inches lacking some features with bit different camera. I'm okay with MIUI here but AO would make it all interesting too ... maybe next time. To me this way it's little bit easier.

  • But this is not an Android one device I think. But a move for A3 Pro will be appreciable.

  • Battery backup concerned maybe. It has 4030 mAh instead of SE's 3070. Almost 1000 mAh higher would obviously makes the difference. And also a bigger screen with additional memory storage expansion is plus above. All this comes in a low price.

  • Nice

  • Isn't there already a mi 9 SE? What's the point of a lite?

  • Broke my dream, this should be A3 Pro Come on Xiaomi.

  • "my" 9 lite - wow, you already have it! :D Either price (expected) not too different. At least nobody could say not enough phones to choose from.

  • Specifications says yes

  • No I like better mi9 lite

  • Overheating is fixed with new update.

  • I've seen some rumors about specs and some of them were good (better ultrawide than CC9) some not (other cams worse, worse battery). Therefore I wouldn't trust such news and wait for official about what's different (or if anything except bands). Xiaomi posted 48MP main +32MP selfie cam picture. About ultrawide, confirmed by (source) ?

  • It has to be a fight for supremacy between my 9 lite and 9t

  • Note 8 Pro has overheating issues

  • Yeah lts the ultrawide from a Mi 9T (k20).. and thats a good thing. Also this is a global version with all the frequencies for Europe.

  • This is MI CC9 with an upgraded Ultrawide Camera. Aside from that, nothing new here.

  • price?

  • i loved its specs as i bough mi 8 lite and it was awesome

  • note 8 pro better

  • same cc9 ... why ?

  • Question: does this have NFC pay?! I'm a huge fan of Xiaomi and hate my Samsung A70. Would like to know if it supprts NFC Google pay? Thanx

  • Probably my next phone

  • Nice

  • Getting either this one or note 8pro

  • Samsung A lineup killer
