The Xiaomi Mi9 Review: Flagship Performance At a Mid-Range Price

We're edging towards to latter half of 2019 and the next and last upcoming wave of device releases, however among the many device releases of the year one device we missed to review was the new Xiaomi Mi9. The phone was amongst the earliest releases of...

Overall, I think the Xiaomi Mi9 is a fantastic device with the only real and possible deal-breaking compromise being its low-light photography. I hope for the next generation Xiaomi doesn’t make this compromise again, even if the phone costs 10$/€ more.

Xiaomi Mi 9 Review

The Xiaomi Mi 9 is the company's first phone with the latest Snapdragon 855 and it's ready to go head to head with the big-name flagships of 2019. Xiaomi is upping the ante in almost every aspect, but it still had to make compromises to keep the price...

Premium build quality; A good combination of rear cameras; Fast performance; Super-competitive price

The fingerprint sensor is a bit unreliable; No IP water resistance rating; No face unlock; Subpar speakers; Battery life could be better

Xiaomi Mi 9 review: Fast processor, high-resolution camera, speedy wireless charging and more Review | ZDNet

This 6.39-inch Snapdragon 855-based smartphone delivers a great combination of features and performance, and is probably the best mid-priced handset available right now.

Excellent Snapdragon 855 performance ; 48MP main camera ; Fast 20W wireless charging ; Superb AMOLED screen ; IR blaster ; Plenty of on-board storage ; Great value for money

Average speaker ; Slippery glass back ; No MicroSD card slot

Xiaomi Mi 9 review: The latest flagship tech at a reasonable price

While it's lacking one or two premium features, the Xiaomi Mi 9 basically picks the best qualities of a 2019 flagship and sticks them into a well-made, affordable package. While it's lacking one or two premium features, the Xiaomi Mi 9 basically picks...

Solid camera with three lenses ; Snapdragon 855 is blazingly quick ; Great design ; Useful shortcut, gestures, and added button ; 20W charging

No expandable storage ; Concerning battery size (though it's not as bad as you might think) ; So-so display resolution

Xiaomi Mi 9 Review: Amazing Performance, Outstanding Price Value

The Mi 9 is the best value smartphone running Snapdragon 855, triple camera with ultra wide-angle to 2X telephoto, fast wireless charging, blazing UI.

The Mi 9 has a lot of premium features that are found in most flagship smartphones that cost double. It’s quite unbelievable that the fastest smartphone benchmarked by Antutu is the cheapest among the rivals.

Xiaomi Mi 9: will you be mine?

The new star of the Chinese brand is a powerful mobile with an unbeatable price-to-performance ratio and a spectacular camera.

Value for money ; Great camera ; Enhanced facial recognition and fingerprint reader ; Champion performance ; Fast charging and wireless charging ; NFC

Rear side too slippery ; No headphone jack ; Mono sound

The real rival of the stars of Samsung, Apple and Huawei is here. No, it's no joke. For half the price (or even less) the Chinese brand once again proves that it is possible to make a smartphone with everything you need and a little more. And the...
