Xiaomi has recently launched the Mi CC9 and Mi CC9e smartphones in China. The model number of the Mi CC9e smartphone is M1906F9SC. A variant of the smartphone with model number M1906F9SH has received approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S. The images of the rear side of the phone that have appeared in the FCC documents confirm that it is an Android One phone with triple rear cameras. Hence, it appears the Mi CC9e smartphone could be releasing outside of China as Xiaomi Mi A3 Android One smartphone.
The M1906F9SH Xiaomi phone that has been certified by FCC has also received approval from Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) in the recent past. The smartphone has also been approved by Singapore’s IMDA authority. The images of the phone that have surfaced in FCC documents reveal that the smartphone measures 153 x 71mm. The smartphone measures 162mm diagonally. The dimensions of the M1906F9SH is exactly same as the Mi CC9e phone. Hence, the purported Mi A3 will be equipped with a 6.01-inch display with waterdrop notch like the Mi CC9e.
The images of the rear panel of the M1906F9SH show that it has an elongated cutout for the vertical camera setup followed by a hole for the LED flash. The “48MP AI Camera” text can be seen below it. The logos for Xiaomi and Android One is available on the bottom side of the phone’s back panel. None of the specs of the phone have been revealed through its FCC certification. It is very likely to arrive with identical specs as the Xiaomi Mi CC9e smartphone.
