20 February 2019
An eventful Mobile Congress might be upon us and it's shaping to be nothing short of a blast. But the first flagship for year 2019 is now out and it's not coming from Spain but China - indeed, we are talking about the Xiaomi Mi 9.

    i wait lg g8 - best multimedia phone on Market .

      No 3.5mm jack, 33000 mAh battery is small for a modern flagship (Ask Samsung, Ask Huawei), no card slot + no waterproofing = drop your phone in water and all your travel photos are gone. And it comes with the slow charger, not the powerful 27W charger, in the box.

      Big disappointment.

        Sadly those of us suffering from PWM can't use OLED. Shame!

          Why they only provide white color led notification? Why not multi cooled.

            Great battery life. Now, would it have hurt
            If they had increased instead of reducing capacity? Would have easily crossed 110 hours. Would have been the only flagship in the 100+ range apart from the Galaxy Actives and Sony Compacts.

                  OIS, 20 Feb 2019Downgrade main camera. no dual pixel PDAF, no OIS. problem ... moreOIS increases the size of camera module.
                  That is why it is when you see phones with 1/2.3" or bigger sensors do not have it.
                  Mate 20 Pro does not have as well.

                    Downgrade main camera. no dual pixel PDAF, no OIS. problem for low light photography.
                    Pixel quantity is not necessary, pixel quality is more necessary.

                            How come you have a ready review with pictures and everything when the phone release date is today? Do you work illegally for Xiaomi? Is your review legit?

                                Is mi9 waterproof?

                                  This time xiaomi not invested proper attention in design. Impressive specs and pricing but in design its 1 year behind.

                                    Anonymous, 20 Feb 2019Does it have a notification LED?"And while you can't really see it when it's off, there is one very small white LED for notifications just below the right end of the earpiece."
