A very good all around smartphone afterall, especially for the money. Good job Xiaomi!

    Whackcar, 20 Feb 2019Anyone else disappointed by the SD855 score? It certainly d... moreYeah. the multicore is not as impressive. the sony XZ4 scored 12.8k, why there's such a huge gap between mi 9's MC score to XZ4's?

      Whackcar, 20 Feb 2019I do. Single Core scores are terrible. It is actually behin... morebut considering you can have just ONE Mongoose M3 core active at a time. and you're not exactly enjoying a true octa core chipset. I am rather pleased. Also. Consider this fact: when the exynos 9810 scales up to 1+4 configuration. it's only for about 2-3 seconds max and then it reverts to octa core 1.8 GHz. I PREFER to have the 3500 points single core because I know all cores work RATHER than have those 200 bonus points but it's just for a pathetic duration.
      of course. I might be wrong here. but That's my personal opinion

        daaang@! gsmarena mega fast well done! the best

          DAAANG. Fell in love with the performance and the camera. the endurance while for a 3.3Ah is impressive. not going to drop below 4Ah battery. plus, Lack of an SD card and headphone jack is unacceptable.

            lack of optical image stabilization is dealbreaker even tho phone is dope overall

              Mi 9 Pro or Plus I think it will be 5G

                Anonymous, 20 Feb 2019How could they review the unit so fast? It was unveiled thi... moreUsually, reviewer got the phone wayyy earlier before the announcement. Maybe 7-14days before official launch. OnePlus had been doing this many times.
                Maybe the reviewers need to sign NDA things and all so they keep silent and keep reporting rumours eventho they knew the truth. Lol.

                  Whackcar, 20 Feb 2019Anyone else disappointed by the SD855 score? It certainly d... moreIt's anyway too much more than anyone would need in just a smartphone.

                    In display fingerprint scanner combined with rudimentary faceunlock....color me worried.

                      Mediatek sux, 20 Feb 2019You dont see the geekbench scores?I do. Single Core scores are terrible. It is actually behind last year's Exynos. That's really pathetic.

                      You are looking at Multicore scores only because that's the only area where you see improvement. I on the other hand am looking at the whole picture, and I'm not impressed.

                        farv from detail in view 20 ultra clarity mode, wonder if it will get something similar...

                              Anyone else disappointed by the SD855 score? It certainly didn't live upto the hype...

                                Pretty great phone

                                  How could they review the unit so fast? It was unveiled this morning. I expected a hands-on review, but this is even better. My only concern is how thoroughly was the reviewer...

                                    Impressive phone, The good hing or bad depending on your point of view, is that in 3 months this phone will cost half of the price that currently costs now. And for 400€ no doubt is real value for money this one!

                                      Great phone but too bad the battery life is average for me, looks like i'll go for Mate 20
