If you are one of those expecting Xiaomi to announce a Pro version of the Mi A3, you may be in for a disappointment. While earlier reports have said the Xiaomi CC9 may be sold outside China as the Mi A3 Pro just as its sibling the CC9e is sold as the Android One phone, the Mi A3, that may not happen.
We reported a few days ago that a phone called the Mi 9 Lite was found on Google’s list of certified Android devices. The list revealed the phone is related to the Mi CC9, one of the two phones developed by Xiaomi and Meitu. Now, more info has surfaced saying the Mi CC9 will indeed launch as the Mi 9 Lite outside China.
The source of the info is a tweet by Xiaomishka a few days ago. According to him, a colleague and a Polish retailer confirmed that the Mi CC9 will be sold as the Mi 9 Lite for the global market.

Guys do you remember, that model M1904F3BG appeared in EEC database? Then we thought it would be a #mia3pro or Mi CC9 Global Version.

The Mi 9 Lite is said to be the Xiaomi phone with the model number M1904F3BG which was certified by Russia’s EEC early last month.
As at the time of writing, there is no info about the launch date and the price of the phone but it should not be far off.
With the launch of the Mi 9 Lite, the Mi 9 family now has six members. There is the Mi 9 itself, the Mi 9 Transparent Edition, the Mi 9 SE, and then the Mi 9T and Mi 9T Pro.
The Mi 9 Lite should be priced close to the Mi 9 SE. Although the Mi 9 SE has a slightly more powerful processor and better cameras (on paper), the Mi 9 Lite/Xiaomi CC9 offers a bigger display and a bigger battery capacity.
