The Nokia 9 PureView launched early this year with five rear cameras (six, counting the ToF sensor). No other manufacturer has put more than 4 sensors in total after that but will change with the upcoming Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro.
Although Xiaomi has already shared a teaser showing us the design of the phone, a live photo has surfaced on the web. The photo was posted on Weibo by a user called @复读机002 (reviewer002).
The image allows for a closer look at the five cameras as well as the design of the phone.
Rather than a circular arrangement of the sensors like we have on the Nokia 9 PureView which some folks have complained about triggering trypophobia, Xiaomi has gone for a vertical arrangement. Three sensors are housed together while the 108MP sensor which is pretty large is separated. The fifth camera which should be a ToF sensor is also separated from the other cameras.
The phone has four LEDs in total and you can see the words “108MP” and “5X optical” printed on each side of the LED flash. The Mi CC9 Pro has a glass back which we are pretty sure is supplied by Corning. So far, this blue variant is the only one we have seen but there should be other colors available.
The phone has its volume rocker and power button on the right side of the frame. While we can’t see the front of the device, the chances of the display being curved are very slim based on the position of the buttons.
The Mi CC9 Pro will not only have five rear cameras but its primary camera is a 108MP sensor Samsung and Xiaomi developed together. It will come with a Snapdragon 730G processor, an AMOLED display, an in-display fingerprint scanner and should also run Android 10 out of the box. It will be unveiled on November 5.
