Yesterday, Xiaomi had confirmed through a poster that apart from launching the CC9 and CC9e smartphones, it will be also announcing the CC9 Meitu Custom Edition phone on July 2. The rumor mill has already revealed the entire specs, variants and pricing of the CC9 and CC9e phones ahead of launch. However, nothing much is known about the CC9 Meitu Custom Edition. Today, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun has shared some key details of the phone.
In November 2018, Xiaomi had entered a strategic partnership with Meitu. Hence, the upcoming CC series of smartphones born out of collaboration between the two companies will be powered with photography algorithm from Meitu. The CC9 and probably the CC9e will be arriving in fascinating colors like White Lovers and Dark Blue Planet. Jun has confirmed today that the CC9 Meitu Custom Edition will be sporting a special color. The CC9 and CC9e phones may feature image optimizations from Xiaomi, but the CC9 Meitu Custom Edition’s photography prowess will be powered by Meitu.

Xiaomi CEO has also confirmed that the CC9 Meitu Custom Edition will be featuring 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of native storage. He has shared an image to show that the smartphone will be arriving in a completely different blue-colored packaging than the regular CC9 and CC9e phones.
A fresh Weibo post from Meitu reveals that even in total dark conditions, the CC9 Meitu Custom Edition can capture bright and clear AI portrait shots. Nothing else is known on the other specification of the smartphone.
The Mi CC9 is expected to arrive with Snapdragon 730, a waterdrop notch enabled 6.2-inch display, 48-megapixel triple rear cameras, 32-megapixel front-facing camera and 4,000mAh battery. It remains to be seen whether the CC9 Meitu Custom Edition will be arriving identical specs as the CC9 phone. The Mi CC9 with 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage is rumored to carry a price tag at 3,099 Yuan. Hence, it is like the CC9 Meitu Custom Edition could be priced higher.
