Xiaomi is expected to launch the Mi CC9 today and quite a lot have been revealed about the device. One of the features expected to be onboard the phone is a sky replacement feature. The company’s CEO Lei Jun shared a couple pictures showcasing the feature recently on Weibo.
Going by the four pictures shared, the Mi CC9 camera settings can be tweaked to turn the bright day time sky to night time. It can also turn a cloudy sky to look sunny. 
This feature isn’t a new one as it can be found on several third-party apps. However, with the integration on the Mi CC9, you won’t have to open a third-party app to tweak the picture. 
We also recall that XDA Developers had reported a few months back that Xiaomi was working on a Sky Replacement feature as discovered through code investigation. The feature enables users to supplant the “sky” with various sky presets. The “sky replacement” effect will be included as part of the photo editing functionality within the MIUI Gallery application. With this forthcoming effect, users can take pictures with a transcendent sky component and swap it with a bundle of various presets that alters the sky in various scenes. The presets won’t just modify the look of the sky but will also add important lighting effects to the remainder of the picture and objects so as to make it match the time of day or weather condition that the sky depicts.
