Xiaomi will be announcing the Mi CC9 smartphone outside China next week but when it arrives, it will be under a different name – the Mi 9 Lite.
It has been revealed that the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite will be announced on Monday, September 16 in Spain. The announcement quells the rumors that the Mi CC9 will launch as the Mi A3 Pro outside China.
Before the announcement of the launch date, the device was already certified by Thailand’s NBTC last week. The certification revealed that the Mi 9 Lite shared a similar model number to the Mi CC9 sold in China.
Prior to that, a list of Google’s certified Android devices was the first to reveal that there is an upcoming device called the Mi 9 Lite and it has the same codename as the Mi CC9.
The Mi 9 Lite will have a 32MP selfie camera and a 48MP triple rear camera configuration. Other features include a 6.39-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 710 processor, 6GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of expandable storage. It will also have an 8MP ultrawide angle camera and a 2MP depth sensor on the back.
The phone will also have an in-display fingerprint scanner, NFC, an audio jack, and an FM radio. The Mi 9 Lite will pack a 4030mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging and will have Gorilla Glass 5 covering its display and its back. It will run Android 9 Pie out of the box
