Anonymous, 22 Mar 2019Since I must explain to you what we use the card slot for: ... moreMan only clumsy people breaks their phone,.
Transfering via usb ôlast few minutes o seconds.
Only a clumsy people watching movies on their phone for that sake i have my TV or laptop with bigger screen and external harddrive.
Watching good movie on a 6 inch screen is useless.
Same goes for jack.
I like music nice and loud jack is obsolette.

              Sad that MI is not releasing flagship phones in India.I am waiting for MI 9 12GB edition in INDIA

                No one should buy this. Xiaomi already slowed or even stopped fixing the bugs and issues of this phone. Updates will be slow to come bcos Xiaomi will now focus on the new Mi 9. Buy this if u dont care about updating your phone with some few bugs.

                    Anonymous, 22 Mar 2019Since I must explain to you what we use the card slot for: ... moreAgreed. SD card is a must especially for budget brands because IMO a budget brand should allow a budget memory expension. If you like to flash roms a lot, you'll apreciate card slot. Also, changing phones is a breeze thanks to sd card slot. There is no need to transfer data. Remove card from old phone and place in new one and boom, you are done.

                      We save FLAC audio and fullHD movies onto a card. Phone breaks? No big deal. Get a new phone, pop in the microSD card, and we're back in business within 20 seconds; better than the hours wasted transferring everything via USB. Also, considering the phone is already a dual SIM, there is NO reason for any phone company to not offer expandable memory; even with the Huawei Nano Memory Card standard. More options = better.

                      As for the headphone jack, yea, it's useless if you're ok with audio/video lag and lackluster bass/audio quality.

                        NXTwoThou, 21 Mar 2019Any words if it's china only or if there's a global version... moreI hope for global version.
                        I cant stand brands which ask too much for nothing such as Samsung or Apple or Sony.
                        Even a 10% profit is profit but 400% is not a good deal to any of customers.
                        Xiaomi is same quality compared to brands above.
                        Anyway almost every phone is made in china.

                            Anonymous, 21 Mar 2019No they didn't. IF it had a card-slot AND a headphone-jack... moreMan battery is good enough.
                            Card slot is useless if you have 64 or more disk space in this case 256 is more than enough.
                            And jack is waste of space and money.
                            That ugly hole is completely useless in present wireless era.

                              Any words if it's china only or if there's a global version? Or maybe, just maybe, stop restricting bands? I'm really interested in getting it for use in the US but reading posts on xda makes it seem like it's a mess.

                                they should of wiped the phone in the second picture from the fingerprint traces before taking the pic :D

                                  Anonymous, 21 Mar 2019No they didn't. IF it had a card-slot AND a headphone-jack... moreI understand, but a there is a lot to like about this phone. Though I will agree on the jack, I sorely miss it after getting a XR. The convenience outweighs the cons

                                      Title: Brand new Xiaomi 9 (Transparent Edition)
                                      Bottom text: 22nd March - Available for pre-order at 10 am
                                      Below that (as stated in post): Xiaomi 9 Transparent Edition 256 + 8 GB version have similar camera modules as vanilla Xiaomi 9

                                      Note:
                                      1. In Chinese, the Xiaomi Mi 9's name is simply written as Xiaomi 9.
                                      2. It's doesn't specify what they mean by 10 am, but it's probably one of China's timezones
