Mi 9 is basically a copy of Mi 8 with 855 slapped on it.
Mi 8 cons:
No 3.5mm jack, no microSD slot, no IP rating, no stereo speakers, no wireless charging,Thermal throttling
4K video recording lacks stabilization
Mi 9 cons:
No waterproofing
Slippery design
No audio port and no stereo speakers
No microSD slot
Limited LTE bands
Lacks optical stabilization
What is the new thing except their ugly UI,no notch,new chipset and tad bit improved camera ?

lol it looks like they blew their budget on the screen and the main camera took a hit because they just had to use a triple camera setup on such a limited budget

Note to writers that the price for the base model (6GB) is ¥2999, and not ¥3299.
As such, you should decrease your expected price when converting to other currencies.

StereoSpeakerLover, 20 Feb 2019@GSMArena: Please add no "No Stereo speakers" to the cons list.Buy an wireless spekear or a great pair of bluetooth tws for greatest auditions.

Anonymous, 20 Feb 2019Great phone but too bad the battery life is average for me,... moreFor twice the cost?! Better get mi 9, charger kit and the wireless battery + a weekend break in Barcelona.

I'm really dissapointed with the image quality. Had much higher expectations. Up close there aren't many details and it still looks like a brush stroke whereas the older P20 Pro makes much more detailed images. But then again the sensor of the P20 Pro is still bigger than the one found in the Mi 9.

Dear GSMArena,
have you tried charging speed with PD chargers? QC 4 should be compatible with USB PD 27W profile so it would be interesting to see what speeds are actually achievable.

Welp, the phone did fall short on some parts, but considering it's price, it's an all round banger to other flagship smartphones.

Whackcar, 20 Feb 2019I do. Single Core scores are terrible. It is actually behin... moreThe high single core score of Exynos 9810 has been only achieved by the turbo mode of the CPU, where each core becomes clocked higher when fewer of them are used(i.e. A mode literally made for GB single core test). In real life Exynos performs way worse than Snapdragon 845 because of badly designed M3 cores and poor CPU scheduling and is not at all comparable to newer SoC built on 7nm node such as Snapdragon 855, Kirin 980 and A12. Not even remotely close.
