Xiaomi is expected to launch the Mi 9 flagship within the next couple of months but details have been quite scanty about the device. A new TENAA listing suspected to be the Mi 9 had appeared recently giving us a few details of the device. Xiaomi’s officials have also been throwing subtle teasers about the device. Recently, a Xiaomi senior engineer shared a photo on Weibo which was quickly deleted. The photo contains some cups of rice wine apparently shot during the Chinese New Year celebration. The crisp clear nature of the picture prompted a netizen to ask the exec to describe how to adjust the camera settings to achieve such a shot. His response suggested the photo was captured using a triple camera phone which is likely the Mi 9.
Now, another executive Sun Changxu has also shared some hint about the device. She hinted of a photo taken by”Rice wine” and expressed admiration at how crisp clear the shot was. Two things we can draw fro the Weibo post. The first is that the Mi 9 goes by the codenamed “Rice wine” and secondly, the camera output would be outstanding.

Xiaomi’s flagship phones are usually known for their outstanding camera output going by recent DXOMark rankings. The flagship Mi Mix 3 had a score of 103 points which puts it on the same level with the TC U12+ and Galaxy Note 9. Going by DXOMark’s ranking, only the Huawei Mate 20 Pro, P20 Pro and iPhone XS Max had better camera performance. Apart from the camera aspect, the Mi 9 will also come with 27W fast charging, going by the TENAA listing. The device is expected to pack a Snapdragon 855 chipset and on-screen fingerprint sensor.
