Xiaomi CC9 Pro

The Xiaomi CC9 family expands by going to another more demanding target audience. Months after meeting the Xiaomi Mi CC9 and CC9e , now they present in China the Xiaomi CC9 Pro , a mobile with five rear cameras to cover the maximum possible photographic needs.

With all this equipment also includes the 108 megapixel sensor that the company premiered with the bizarre Xiami Mi Alpha . With a Qualcomm processor for the most powerful line in the mid-range, the CC9 Pro wants to earn that last name at the cost of results and photographic versatility.

Curves and notch in drop form in 6.47 inches

There is no retractable front camera as in the Mi 9T in this case. On the front of the Xiaomi CC9 Pro we see that the same line as its predecessors is followed with the drop-shaped notch and a fairly clear screen that integrates the fingerprint reader, according to the company an ultra-thin (optical) reader , although being treated in this occasion of a curved screen on its sides that lights up with notifications.

The screen is 6.47 inches , being slightly larger than the other two, maintaining the FullHD + resolution of 2,340 x 1,080 pixels of the CC9. It maintains a 19.5: 9 ratio and offers a contrast ratio of 400,000: 1, with support for HDR and DCI-P3 color gamut.

The back is in glass and gloss, seeing that the CC9 Pro is also available in green, white and black tones, without appreciating that there is a holographic or multi-flash finish as in other (many) previous mobiles. Metal edge and back curved clear except for the prominent module for three of the cameras and the other two added below, all on one side and in vertical arrangement.

Quick charge for a colossal battery

As for the processor, we talk about the Snapdragon 730G for the Xiaomi CC9 Pro, a 2019 SoC whose important novelties focused on the photographic part, as well as reducing latency to a minimum. There are models with 6 and 8 GB of RAM , accompanied respectively by 128 and 256 GB of storage.

Something that stands out especially among the internal components (at least on paper) is a huge battery of 5,260 milliamps / hour (the maximum in a company phone). Normally the 4,000 mAh already give a good experience, so it will be necessary to see if this battery also performs as it seems and if, as the manufacturer says the charge is completed in just 65 minutes .

It is also interesting that the CC9 Pro comes with MIUI 11 , the new version of Xiaomi's own software layer that was launched in September and that brings aesthetic and functional news. Among other features, in addition, the CC9 Pro has multifunctional GPS, 3.5 mm jack and IR Blaster.

Rear Pentacamera and 108 megapixels in a single sensor

As we said, the Xiaomi CC9 Pro integrates a 108 megapixel sensor in one of its main cameras, covered with a lens with f / 1.7 aperture and 4-axis optical stabilization. It is accompanied by a telephoto with a 5 megapixel sensor that allows 5x optical zoom and 10x hybrid, bringing the digital to 50x, in addition to an ultra wide angle of 117 degrees and 20 megapixel sensor.

Accompanying these, a camera dedicated to the portrait is integrated with a 12 megapixel sensor (1.4 micron pixels) and a 2 megapixel camera dedicated to macro photography with a focal length of 1.5 centimeters. Speaking of the front camera dele notch dropwise, is a sensor 32 megapixels with a lens with f / 2.0.

In this way, the CC9 Pro seeks to cover the needs of lossless zoom, wide angle, portrait and macro as well as getting large photographs. We will have to see how that sensor of such resolution yields, as well as the usual night, portrait , artificial intelligence and video benefits.

For now it is a launch in China and we know the prices in yuan, as well as the availability for that country. The Xiaomi CC9 Pro will be available in the following varieties:
