Yesterday, we reported that Xiaomi had started rolling out MIUI 12.5 update for the Mi CC9 Meitu Edition. Now, today, the company has begun to seed the latest MIUI version to the Redmi K30S Ultra as well as the vanilla Mi CC9.

Xiaomi unveiled MIUI 12.5 at the Mi 11 launch event in late December. It is a minor update to MIUI 12 with performance and security improvements. 

The company has been releasing weekly beta builds since its official announcement. Lately, it has also started rolling out stable builds for select devices, as per the schedule.

The MIUI 12.5 update for the Redmi K30S Ultra and the Mi CC9 comes with build numbers V12.5.1.0.RJDCNXM and V12.5.1.0.RFCCNXM respectively. The latter phone also gets Android 11, just like the Mi CC9 Meitu Edition.

These two builds are currently in the ‘Stable Beta’ phase. This means they are only available for a select few users. Anyway, they should gradually reach all the users if there are no major bugs.

Similarly, we can expect Xiaomi to start seeding out the MIUI 12.5 update for the international versions of these handsets. For those unaware, the Redmi K30S Ultra is sold as Mi 10T, and the Mi CC9 is known as Mi 9 Lite in global markets.

Xiaomi is the only smartphone OEM to release weekly software builds for its devices. In the announcement post for this week’s builds on Mi Community China, the company confirmed the Android 11 update for a number of Xiaomi and Redmi phones from 2019.

Xiaomi unveiled MIUI 12 in late April. Since then, the world’s third-largest smartphone maker has been updating its devices to the latest version of its mobile software. As of now, the company’s flagship, mid-range, select budget phones have received the update. Only certain budget and older handsets are yet to get the update.

On the other hand, the 2020 premium devices that have been updated to MIUI 12 have also started receiving Android 11 update. Hence, the firm has now revealed the next batch of handsets that will be getting the latest version of Android.

The below-mentioned smartphones will start receiving MIUI 12 beta builds based on Android 11 once the program continues after its temporary halt.

• Redmi Note 8
• Redmi Note 8 Pro
• Redmi K20 Pro / Mi 9T Pro
• Redmi K30S Ultra
• Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite
• Mi CC9 Meitu Edition
• Mi 9 SE
• Mi 9
• Mi 9 Pro

That said, it is not sure when Android 11 builds will be released for the above-mentioned phones. Because the company has suspended the beta program for an unspecific period of time from next week ahead of MIUI 12.5 release.

Anyway, even after the firm starts releasing those builds, the final stable update for different regions may take time to arrive.

Note: Redmi K30 4G, POCO X2, Redmi K30 5G, Mi CC9 Pro, Mi CC9 Pro Premium Edition, Mi Note 10, and Mi 10 Pro from 2019 are also eligible for Android 11 update. These handsets have been receiving MIUI 12 beta builds based on Android 11 for a few months now.

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. For those unaware, DxOMark is a known figure that rates smartphones and professional grade cameras.

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.

The Mi CC9 or Mi 9 Lite as it is known outside China, launched last year as the first of a new series from Xiaomi in partnership with Meitu.

When it launched, the Mi CC9 ran Android 9 Pie out of the box. Now, Xiaomi has begun rolling out a new MIUI 11 update that brings Android 10 to the phone. This is a stable update that is limited to China and it comes with the February 2020 security patch. Hopefully, the update will soon be made available for the Mi 9 Lite.

The update arrives as MIUI V11.0.1.0.QFCCNXM and is 2.3GB in size. The update also fixes some bugs in the device.

The Mi CC9 has a 6.39-inch Super AMOLED display with a waterdrop notch for a 32MP selfie camera. There is a Snapdragon 710 processor powering it along with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of expandable storage.

On the back are a 48MP primary rear camera, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. There is a fingerprint scanner under the display, an infrared blaster at the top, and a USB Type-C port at the bottom. The Mi CC9 also has NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, an audio jack, and FM radio. It packs a 4030mAh battery capacity with support for 18W fast charging.

The post Xiaomi rolls out Android 10 update for Mi CC9 in China appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro runs Android 9 Pie out of the box even though it has been a few months since Android 10 was released. While we have no doubt that it will get updated, there is a possibility the standard Mi CC9 will be getting the update first.

A beta update has begun rolling out to the Mi CC9 in China and it brings Android 10 along. The MIUI 11 beta update which has version number 9.11.12 is 2.3 GB in size.

The changelog doesn’t say much but mentions that there may be app compatibility issues with the new update.

Android 10 brings features such as Smart Reply, privacy controls, new customizations for notifications, and new emojis. The Android 10 update will not bring any UI changes to the phone since it is buried under MIUI 11.

The Mi CC9 launched in July 2019. It has a 6.39-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a waterdrop notch. There is a Snapdragon 710 processor under the hood paired with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of expandable storage. The back of the phone which is covered in Gorilla Glass 5 is home to a 48MP + 8MP + 2MP triple camera setup. There is a 32MP camera up in front and you also get a fingerprint scanner buried under the display. Xiaomi ships the phone with a 4030mAh battery and adds 18W fast charge.

Xiaomi seems to have gone ballistic with the rollout of its latest MIUI 11 Stable update to various models. The update has so far started hitting the Mi 6, Mi 9, Mi Mix 3, Mi Mix 2s, Mi 8 SE, Mix 2 and even the Redmi K20 and Redmi 7, among others. Now, users of the Mi CC9 have reported that their models have started receiving OTA updates for the MIUI 11.3.1.0 stable version. The update package comes with a large 728MB size and so it is advised that updating should be done over a WiFi connection. We couldn’t verify from the changelog (in Chinese) if this new update is based on Android 9 or 10. However, considering the premium midrange rating of the Mi CC9, we want to believe it is Android 10-based.

MIUI 11 brings a whole lot of new features to the table. The new features include new icons for the UI which is a traditional feature of successive MIUI versions. The update also brings smoother animations, Ultra Power Saving Mode as well as Kids Mode which provides a safe digital environment for kids by running only apps whitelisted by their parent or guardian. MIUI 11 equally tracks the owner’s smartphone usage time in order to help avoid spending too much time. Other features include earthquake alerts, the ability to cast to an external display with the added feature of continuous casting even when the display is turned off to save battery.

As a reminder, the Mi CC9 was first announced in July this year alongside the Mi CC9e, Mi CC9 Meizu custom edition. The device was later launched as the Mi 9 Lite outside China and so we expect a swift update for the global version. The phone packs a 6.39-inch AMOLED display with a 91% screen ratio. Powering the model is a Snapdragon 710 chipset. The Mi CC9 utilises an under-display fingerprint sensor. It equally packs NFC, infrared remote control and Hi-Res HD audio.

The Xiaomi CC9 is indeed launching as the Mi 9 Lite and proof comes from an NBTC certification of the phone.

The Thailand agency has certified a Xiaomi phone with the model number M1904F3BG and the certificate does say this is the Mi 9 Lite. The model number is near identical to that of the Mi CC9 sold in China whose model number is M1904F3BT.

The Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite was first certified in Russia by the EEC back in early August, but then we thought it would launch as the Mi A3 Pro. Sadly, that will not be the case. As it stands now, the chance of a Pro version of the Mi A3 existing is getting slim, and those waiting for one may have to settle for the Mi A3 or another device.

The Mi 9 Lite may launch this month, and when it does, it will carry the familiar Mi logo on its back and run MIUI. The phone will have a 6.39-inch FHD+ display with a notch at the top for a 32MP selfie camera. It will also have an in-display fingerprint scanner.

The phone will be powered by a Snapdragon 710 processor, with 6GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of onboard storage. Irrespective of the version you purchase, you will be able to add more storage via a MicroSD card slot. On the back will be triple rear cameras – a 48MP f/1.8 primary sensor, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 2MP depth sensor.

The Mi 9 Lite should pack a 4030mAh battery with 18W fast charging support. It will have a USB type-c port, a 3.5mm audio jack, NFC, and an infrared port too. Xiaomi will ship it with MIUI based on Android 9 Pie.

Making this announcement, the company also shared an image of Gulinaza holding a Mi CC series smartphone. The image has been captured with the Mi CC9 smartphone. The company had recently teased that it will be making an announcement introducing a “new friend” of Mi CC series on 19th August.

The Mi CC series of smartphones was introduced last month and currently, there are two smartphones in this lineup — Mi CC9 and Mi CC9e. The Mi CC9e has made it to the international markets as the Android One-powered Mi A3.

Under the hood, the CC9 is powered by the Snapdragon 710 SoC with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. On the other hand, the CC9e is powered by Snapdragon 665 SoC with Adreno 610 GPU, making it the first device to be powered by SD665 chipset.

In terms of optics, both the smartphones feature triple-camera setup on the back, consisting of a 48-megapixel Sony lens with f/1.79 aperture, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens with 120-degree field-of-view and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.

The CC9 and CC9e run on MIUI 10 based Android 9 Pie OS and comes with Game Turbo 2.0 for accelerated graphics performance.

Connectivity features on the devices include dual-SIM support, 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, v5.0 Bluetooth, GPS, NFC (not available on CC9e), IR blaster, USB-C and 3.5mm headphone jack. Both the phones are powered by 4,030mAh batteries and come with support for 18W fast charging.

After launching the Xiaomi CC9 series last week in China, Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi will be launching its K20 series next week in India. It’s as if there’s a new Xiaomi smartphone in the market every 15 days. We say this because we have some fresh news from our supply chain sources and they reveal that the Xiaomi Mi A3 will meet us real soon too. How soon? We don’t have an exact date, but know that the phone will soon be ready for shipping.

After the success of the Mi A2, there’s been a lot of speculation whether there’ll be a successor this year. Turns out, there will be one and we can confirm this information. And like Ishan revealed via MSP yesterday, it will be a rebranded CC series model. However, our source has a slightly different information. 

According to our source, the Xiaomi Mi A3 will be a rebranded Mi CC9e model. In fact, it is said that the A3 is already being stocked up. But there will be one more device, which will be a rebranded CC9 model. Unfortunately, our source couldn’t confirm the name of this model. It’s said that the rebranded CC9 model will launch in September.

There’s some information on the pricing as well. The price of the 4GB+64GB Xiaomi Mi A3 model is said to be around $199. This could be the pricing for the Indian market, which converts to around Rs. 13,700. If this is true, then the Xiaomi Mi A3 will feature Snapdragon 665 with a 48MP triple camera setup, a 6-inch 720p display and a 32MP selfie camera. Note that the Mi A3 series will continue to feature stock Android on board like its predecessors.

If you notice, this information is quite different from Ishan’s leak. He said that the Mi A3 will feature a Snapdragon 730 processor while the Mi A3 Lite would feature a Snapdragon 675 processor. But our source seems to be quite sure of the above information.

Interestingly, the Mi A3 Android One model had already passed through FCC and IMDA certifications last week. And guess what – the model number of the certified Android One model, M1906F9SH was very similar to the Mi CC9e that was certified back in June. This adds even more credibility to what our source revealed.

However, what’s confusing is that if the Mi A3 is a rebranded Xiaomi Mi CC9e, then the company is essentially bringing down its Mi A series lineup to a lower priced category. That would also explain the cheaper $199 price tag. If you recall, the Mi A2 started at Rs. 16,999 in India last year, which comes to around $234.

Anyway, the official Mi A3 launch shouldn’t be far off. So, we’ll get to know official details very soon!

Xiaomi and its sub-brands are on a roll this year. After Redmi launched a brand new K20 series a month ago, Xiaomi revealed its new CC series yesterday. With the sheer amount of Xiaomi phones in the market, readers are often confused about how they all differ from each other. In fact, on first glance, the new Xiaomi Mi CC9 looks identical to the Xiaomi Mi 9. But don’t be deceived, they differ in more ways than you can imagine. So, in this article, let’s take a deeper look at Xiaomi Mi 9 vs CC9 comparison and why they differ quite significantly.

In order to understand how both the phones differ and why they are priced differently, let’s take a look at them in detail down below.

Xiaomi Mi 9 vs CC9: Design

This is one department where both the phones are the most similar. They both share a similar form factor mainly due to the fact that their displays are identical. Both the phones feature a 6.39-inch Super AMOLED 2340 x 1080p display up front with a waterdrop notch. The notch sizes are also very similar. Coming to the back, both the phones feature a triple camera setup in an identical vertical arrangement. All these factors contribute to their similar looks.

However, their similarities end here, even in their design. To make things simple, I’ll list down the differences in the design below.

• Dimensions: Mi 9 – 157.5 x 74.67 x 7.61mm vs CC9 – 156.8 x 74.5 x 8.67mm
• Weight: Mi 9 – 173g vs CC9 – 179g
• Mi 9 – Special AI button vs CC9 – No AI button
• Mi 9 – No headphone jack vs CC9 – 3.5mm Headphone Jack
• Mi 9 – Special highlight on the first camera lens vs CC9 – No highlight on any camera lens
• Mi 9 – Horizontal Mi logo on the back vs CC9 – Vertical Xiaomi logo on the back
• Mi 9 – Piano Black, Ocean Blue, Lavender Violet vs CC9 –  White Lovers, Dark Blue, and Black

Thanks to CC9’s colors, the phone looks more vibrant and colorful than the Mi 9. And that’s exactly what Xiaomi wants. It’s aiming to portray the Mi CC9 as the smartphone for the youth, while the Mi 9 is placed as the true flagship at a bargain price. The similarities in their looks mean Xiaomi didn’t have to worry too much about coming up with a revamped design. This also makes mass production of these new models much easier.

In fact, to prove this point, just take a look at how many Xiaomi phones share this basic design and form factor – Xiaomi Mi 9, Mi 9 SE, Mi 9 EE, Mi 9 Roy Wang Limited Edition, and now Mi CC9, Mi CC9e, Mi CC9 Meitu Edition.

Xiaomi Mi 9 vs CC9: Hardware Specs

This is where Mi 9 and CC9 differ significantly. Let’s take a look at the specs one by one.

The Xiaomi Mi 9 is a true flagship with Snapdragon 855 on board, while the Mi CC9 is a mid-ranger at best with Snapdragon 710 on board. Further, the Mi 9 has a better rear camera setup with a set of telephoto lens for optical zoom. The Ultrawide mode should also be better on the Mi 9, thanks to a larger 16MP sensor. Unlike the Mi 9, CC9 also doesn’t support 4K 60fps video recording or 960fps slo-mo recording at 1080p. The Mi 9 flagship has an advantage in the number of LTE bands supported, adding worldwide LTE support as well.

But the Xiaomi CC9 isn’t without its own set of unique features. For example, the phone has a larger 4030mAh battery to keep you going for an entire day. It also features a seventh-generation screen fingerprint sensor as opposed to the fifth-gen. one on the Mi 9. Another major difference is the presence of the headphone jack on the CC9. The Xiaomi Mi 9 had to ditch this port to make room for better specs.

Xiaomi Mi 9 vs CC9: Conclusion

As you can see, the Xiaomi Mi 9 and CC9 are different in more ways than you would have imagined. The Mi 9 is targeted at users who are looking for an affordable flagship smartphone with top-end specs. On the other hand, the Xiaomi CC9 is targeted at a younger crowd who don’t want to spend a lot but are looking for a better value for money. That explains why Xiaomi decided to retain a headphone jack on the CC9 (wired headphones are cheaper) and add a better 32MP selfie camera on the front.

So if you were confused about the differences between the two models, I hope this article helps in clearing your doubts.

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.

China-based Xiaomi is all set to launch a new smartphone series tomorrow in its home country, which will be focusing more on the front-facing camera and target the selfie-loving users. The phone will be launched in partnership with Meitu.

For those who are unaware, Xiaomi had acquired the hardware business of Meitu, a China-based smartphone manufacturer, last year in March in order to make and sell selfie-centric phones.

The company has shared a new teaser poster online and in response to that, Lei Jun, founder and CEO of Xiaomi thanked them for using their phone and confirmed that a new smartphone series will be launched tomorrow in China.

Ahead of its launch, a poster has been leaked online, revealing what could be the first smartphone co-developed by the two companies. It shows a Meitu-branded smartphone with a flip camera similar to that of the ASUS Zenfone 6/ASUS 6z. However, unlike the ASUS phone, this one comes with a bigger module as there are three camera sensors on the flip module.

While the camera specifications are not yet known, it is said that the primary camera sensor will be of 48-megapixel, possibly the Sony IMX568 sensor. As for the device’s design, the phone has a pink colored gradient finish with curved sides and pink buttons on the right frame. This hints that the company is targeting female users.

The smartphone, which is code-named “Little Fairy”, is believed to be the Mi CC9 which has been leaked. The TENAA listing of the Mi CC9 shows that the phone will feature an AMOLED display with an in-display fingerprint reader and will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 octa-core chipset.
