Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro: Leaked specs, price, launch date

While Xiaomi hasn’t confirmed anything, the rumor mill surrounding the Mi CC9 Pro keeps turning, and it says the smartphone might launch October 24 in China. We even get most of the specs and price of the rumored device.

But again, we must remind you to take these pieces of information here with a grain of salt. Nothing is confirmed yet, and we see some conflicting reports.

What seems to be consistent is that it will be called the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro. It will be the fourth handset under the Mi CC9 series, following the Mi CC9, Mi CC9e, and Mi CC9 Meitu Custom Edition.

The leaks suggest Mi CC9 Pro will have a 6.4-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a waterdrop notch that houses a 32-megapixel Samsung GD1 selfie camera. The screen and the back panel will reportedly be protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 6 and Gorilla Glass 5, respectively.

The body is said to be 9mm thick body and might weigh 180 grams. And the phone is expected to run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G processor, which is the same chipset powering the OPPO Reno 2.

According to the grapevine, the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro’s battery is rated at 4,000mAh with support for 27-watt wired and 20-watt wireless charging. The MIUI running here is based on Android 10 out of the box. And there will be features like an IR blaster, NFC connectivity, and an in-display fingerprint reader.

When it comes to RAM and storage options, camera setup, and pricing, we’re getting different information.

According to India Today, there will only be one variant of the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro; it has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

The smartphone will supposedly get a triple-camera setup composed of a 108-megapixel primary sensor, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide shooter, and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens.

Pricing is expected to be at ¥2,599 yuan, or around P18,755 in Philippine pesos and $367 in U.S. dollars.

One leaked detail is consistent: The Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro will supposedly get a triple-camera system, the main sensor of which is 108 megapixels

GizmoChina, on the other hand, reports that there will be three variants of the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro: 6GB RAM + 128GB storage, 8GB RAM + 128GB storage, and 8GB RAM + 256GB storage.

It said the camera setup could be a triple-camera one as well with a 108-megapixel primary sensor from Samsung. But this time, it claimed the other two are an 8-megapixel ultra-wide shooter and a 12-megapixel telephoto lens. No optical image stabilization is expected here.

The publication added that the Mi CC9 Pro will reportedly be priced at ¥2,199 (P15,868 or $310) for the 6GB/128GB model; ¥2,399 (P17,312 or $339) for the 8GB/128GB variant; and ¥2,699 yuan (P19,476 or $381) for the 8GB/256GB version.

Whichever is accurate, one thing is for sure: We can’t wait to see the Xiaomi CC9 Pro launched.
