Earlier today (27th March 2020), Xiaomi officially delisted the Mi CC9 Pro from its website. It was the first smartphone from the Chinese tech giant to feature a 100 megapixel sensor and the company said it is an honor to start a new chapter.
The announcement was made online on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website. The Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro was released back on 5th November 2019 and was the first smartphone to launch with a 100 megapixel camera. Notably, the device even topped the DxOMark camera rating, receiving an overall score of 121 points in the testings. This made it the highest scoring Xiaomi smartphone at the time as well.

Previously, the Vice President of Xiaomi, Lu Weibing, had announced on his official Weibo account that every 4G handsets above 2,000 Yuan (roughly 282 US Dollars) will be delisted immediately. The reason given was the arrival of 5G enabled handset era. So this move comes as no surprise, rather being expected sooner or later. As of right now, Xiaomi’s CC9 Pro can no longer be found on Xiaomi’s official website.
Similarly, other models that have been delisted in the series include, the Mi CC9, Mi CC9e, Mi CC9 Mietu Custom Edition. These are now officially out of stock and the company has also stopped production entirely.
