The Mi 9 rumours are already timely, but official information is also slowly leaking out of China. All we know for sure is that the company will come out with a new in-display fingerprint reader that can scan your finger in more than just a few inches square.

Let's hope it's just a prototype and not the Mi 9, because with a sensor island this size, they're already lagging behind the 2019 fashion. The minimalist sensor island - or now we'd rather call it a water droplet - is nothing new either, if all is true the Essential phone already had one back in 2017.
The Mi 9 has received a new set of dreamy images, showing what was previously rumoured to be a likely look. Although the pictures have slightly "exaggerated" the coffee surrounding the screen, as if they were real factory shots...
I'm not even going to mention the triple rear camera, I mean the layout, because anyone who's a bit into mobile knows exactly what I mean. After all the rumours about a 48MP+12MP+2MP trio, the Mi 9 finally gets Sony's real 48MP sensor.
Now for some less rumoured news about the Mi 9 and its companion, the Mi 9 SE. Today, on 17 January, two new Xiaomi phones appeared in the Chinese telecoms authority's database, and the leaked information suggests that they are two new high-end phones. The new phones have all the bandwidth, so they must be Mi phones that will be shipped to every country in the world.
The names can be deduced from the code numbers of the predecessor, the Mi 8 and Mi 8 SE, where the two versions are also separated by similar numbering. The Mi 9 will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855, which shouldn't be any barrier to a global release. The images above are probably rendered images of the Mi 9, the Mi 9 SE will likely come with a smaller screen, processor, weaker battery, but this is all conjecture. We'll be back as soon as we know more about the new devices!
