Earlier today, we reported that the Xiaomi CC9e was seen on Geekbench. None of the benchmark results revealed the exact chipset powering the phone but we were able to deduce it is actually the Snapdragon 665 chipset. Now, we can confirm it will actually be the first Snapdragon 665 phone.

Thanks to a new leak that shows images of the phone running system diagnostics app, AIDA64, we now know for certain that there is a Snapdragon 665 under the hood of the Xiaomi CC9e.

The first of the images actually show the processor name as Snapdragon 640/665 but we already know there is no chipset called the Snapdragon 640 which leaves the SD665. The SoC has eight cores – four are clocked at 1.8GHz while the other four are clocked at 2.0GHz.

The original source of the images also revealed that the Xiaomi CC9 will be powered by the Snapdragon 710 processor and not the Snapdragon 730

AIDA64 confirms the phone runs Android 9 Pie and has March’s security patch installed. It also reveals the phone has a battery capacity of 4030mAh. But that’s not all.

If you take a look at the second image, you will see the Build ID says “laurel_sprout….”. The parameter that also says “Fingerprint recognition” (after translation) also has “laurel_sprout”.

If you have been following news of Android One devices, then you will know that all Android phones have the “sprout” suffix in their codenames. This means the Xiaomi CC9e will also be an Android One phone (at least when it launches outside China).

 

Upcoming leaker, Sudhanshu Ambhore, known for his Xiaomi-related leaks believes the Xiaomi CC9e will launch as the Mi A3 Lite. He revealed that in a tweet last week and this new leak reinforces it. Based on that, the Xiaomi CC9 might as well be the Mi A3.

Back in March, the guys at XDA-Developers found details of upcoming Xiaomi Android One smartphones in firmware files. The devices which had the codenames “bamboo_sprout”, and “cosmos_sprout” both have 32MP front-facing cameras and in-display fingerprint scanners. While none of the codenames matches that of the Xiaomi CC9e, we do know it has a 32MP selfie camera and an in-display fingerprint scanner. The CC9 also has these two features but we don’t know its codename.

Nevertheless, these details reinforce that the Xiaomi CC9e and Xiaomi CC9 might launch in other markets as the Mi A3 Lite and Mi A3 respectively.
