Xiaomi Mi 9 Hands-On: Hot and Powerful

This is the Xiaomi Mi9, a device that you should be looking forward to as much as we have. It's been heavily teased over the last few days, and let's just say that the end product lives up to all the hype. Reporting from New York City I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and let's go Hands-on

If last year we had TechTober, I wonder if we can call this Phonebruary, as the closeness to MWC means lots and lots of phones to see, and we begin with one of the most interesting ones. I don't know how Xiaomi does it. They launch awesome phones and then price them aggressively.

Thanks, Xiaomi. Now I need to buy another phone I don't really need after seeing the transparent edition.

30 minutes 27w for 70% battery charge. World's fastest 20w wireless charge. Qualcomm 855. 48MP camera Dxomark score 107. For $450 What else do you want?

I'm already loving this phone and it's accessories.

[SwanseaBoi]

That camera hump is vile. Why not make the body of the phone just that little thicker and have flush camera housing coupled with a larger capacity battery?

[TheBostonTom]

Been using this phone since the global variant came out. I take this over my s10+. Love this phone it's just fun to use and beautiful to looking.

Its 2019 and Jaime is still doing Hi Mi Rivera

That swipe up lag at the end shows how powerful is the SD855. 😎

Many of us love Miui. Although I am going to sound like an obsessive Fan, It's really tiring hearing people in these reviews jump on the bandwagon and dis Miui. Those same people will install substratum for themes and then go install multiple apps to gain everything the a Xiaomi phone comes with, and even though a Xiaomi phone comes with apps, they are really good apps, truly nothing is bloatware. Additionally, If there is something you don't want you can either uninstall it or disable it. I had used Miui Roms several times and just bought my first Xiaomi a Mi 8 not too long ago ( at a really great price). Xiaomi seems to care about their customers more so than any other company by providing constant updates, for years, and even allowing their users to unlock the bootloader without losing their warranty! I have no complaints, the camera holds its own against the Pixel Mod, which I also have installed, the sound quality is great, the reception is outstanding and my battery life is crazy unbelievably stellar!

[thaddeus]

Can't wait for Pocophone F2 :)) with same specs, bigger battery and lower price :)

[taxitrekking]

That looks great. I got the pixel 3 a few weeks ago. I wish I'd have waited now!

[naseefmecheri]

Wow... That Chin is very small....well done..
👍

[terrywhywhy]

I want the Alita version! Anyone else?

[tntgdh]

The phone with everything I always wanted. Will be my next phone

[xavier-pq]

It is definitely a phone I would purchase once I could convince myself not to purchase the MI Mix 3

[MarcVroegh]

Wow what An awesome phone. I really like this company they make affordable phones

[j.f.]

Nice video
Could you maybe make a battery drain test because thats probably the majors downsize of the phone.
And maybe a comparison to the honor view 20 as they have lot of similarities.

Verge here. To turn on the phone correctly, you have to hold it upside down and shake it repeatedly to get it to turn on without components frying in your hand.
