Triple camera for all Xiaomi Mi 9
The race to see who is the manufacturer that implements the most cameras in a smartphone seems like has become the priority for all manufacturers. Years ago, the race in this section was seen in seeing who offered the highest resolution.
Fortunately manufacturers have realized that what is really important in a smartphone is the quality of the photos that allows us to carry out and not so much of its final size, although logically it also matters.
The most powerful versions, Xiaomi Mi 9 and Xiaomi Mi Transparent offer us three cameras in the rear located vertically with the same specifications in both models
- 48 mpx main with f / 1.8 aperture
- 16 mpx wide angle with f / 2.2 aperture
- 12 mpx telephoto lens
To get the best result from the three shots taken by each camera, Xiaomi makes use of artificial intelligence, which allows us to capture any moment from anywhere without having to worry about getting closer to or moving away from the subject or object we want to photograph.
For its part, the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE, the cheapest version of this range, also offers us 3 cameras on the back, but with a different resolution:
- 48 mpx main
- 8 mpx wide angle
- 13 mpx telephoto lens
At the front, Xiaomi has not wanted to complicate life and has implemented a 20 mpx sensor in the three models that are part of the Mi 9 range.
Processor and memory of the Xiaomi Mi 9 range
The Asian manufacturer, is one of the first manufacturers to implement Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855, the most powerful processor that the manufacturer offers on the market today, thus ahead of the Korean company Samsung, even if it is Samsung who takes it to the market before Xiaomi.
But the great novelty of this range, we find it in the Xiaomi Mi 9 Transparent Edition, a version that is accompanied by 12 GB of RAM, thus being the first terminal to have that amount of memory in a smartphone. RAM memory has always been one of Android's problems and the manufacturer Xiaomi has wanted to eliminate it without cutting a hair.
The Xiaomi Mi 9, to dry, will offer us two versions with 6 and 8 GB of RAM respectively, following the trend of most manufacturers in the market over the last year, more than enough memory for day to day. Both terminals are available in 64/128 and 256 GB of storage.
The entry model to the Mi 9 range, the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE, is available in a single 6GB RAM version and two storage versions: 64 and 128 GB.
As expected, the version of Android found in Xiaomi's Mi 9 range is the latest available, Android 9 Pie accompanied by the MIUI 10 customization layer.
Xiaomi Mi 9 screen
Regarding the screen, manufactured by Samsung and Like a drop of water, we see how both the Mi 9 and the Transparent Edition integrate the same 6,39-inch Super AMOLED-type screen, Full HD + resolution (2280 × 1080) and a 19: 9 screen ratio. The Xiaomi Mi 9 SE offers us a smaller screen size, 5,97 inches, but with the same resolution and screen type as its two older brothers.
All models that are part of the Mi 9 range they integrate the fingerprint sensor under the screen, in addition to offering us a facial recognition system, a system that does not offer us the same security that we can find both in the latest generation iPhone range and in the Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
