Xiaomi launched the Mi 10 series in February this year as its top flagship and one of the spectacular features of the series is the presence of dual-mode 5G connectivity on both models. As a result of the launch of the 5G phone, the company is planning to take all other 4G models from mid-range to flagship segments off the shelf.

Xiaomi VP and Redmi GM Lu Weibing disclosed a couple of days back that the Mi CC9 Pro and all other models with prices ranging from 2000 yuan (around $285) and above will be delisted right away. This means the company is planning to remove all 4G phones in, not just the flagship segment but all in the premium mid-range segment.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Mi CC9 Pro isn’t a flagship model but falls in the mid-range category. However, the Mi CC9 Pro Premium Edition happened to be Xiaomi’s first model to climb to the top of DXOMark camera ranking. The device had an overall score of 121 points when it was released to tie with the Mate 30 Pro which was the highest overall camera score of any phone tested as at then. The ranking has since changed with the launch of the Mi 10 Pro and lately, the OPPO Find X2 Pro. However, the Mi CC9 Pro Premium Edition still ranks among the top 10.

The Mi CC9 Pro was later launched outside China as Mi Note 10 powered by a Snapdragon 730G chipset. The phone equally packs an array of five camera sensor with a 108MP Samsung sensor jointly developed by Samsung and Xiaomi.

The delisting is to make way for 5G phones and since the Mi 10 isn’t in the same category with the Mi CC9 Pro, the move may be as a result of the Redmi K30 5G and other upcoming 5G mid-range phones.

Vivo X30 Pro is official as the world’s first phone with the world’s first chipset sporting an integrated 5G modem. Besides this revolution, the handset is also camera-centric and it sports an amazing camera setup. With the X30 Pro, Vivo launched a very performing device without an expensive price, unlike most of the best flagships out there. That is why we decided to compare it with other flagship killers which are catalyzing the public’s attention in the Asian market. Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro and Oppo Reno Ace are the perfect candidates for this comparison, at least in regard to the Chinese market.

Vivo X30 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro vs Oppo Reno Ace

Design

Vivo X30 Pro is a device with a more advanced design, or at least it has that trending punch-hole display everyone is looking for. Thanks to a front camera placed in a hole inside the display, the phone does not need a notch to provide a high screen-to-body ratio. Both its rivals come with a notch, but this does not mean that they do not offer an amazing design. The Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro is very attractive with its edge-to-edge curved display, while the Oppo Reno Ace has a suggestive glass back. But Vivo X30 Pro is definitely more stylish, at least in my opinion.

Display

Despite it does not have a trendy punch-hole screen, Oppo Reno Ace wins the display comparison because it sports a better panel. It has a very accurate image reproduction thanks to the HDR technology and the full DCI P3 coverage. Further, it provides a 90 Hz refresh rate for smoother user experience. Oppo Reno Ace has the best display, but its rivals still come with awesome panels. The Vivo X30 Pro and the Mi CC9 Pro have a higher brightness as well as the HDR support, but they lack the 90 Hz refresh rate, just like the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro.

Hardware/Software

Here Oppo Reno Ace takes another gold medal. Thanks to its Snapdragon 855+ chipset, it is one of the most performing smartphones out there. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and UFS 3.0 native storage up to 256 GB. There are only a few smartphones in the whole market that can compete with the Oppo Reno Ace. Right after, we got the Vivo X30 Pro with its Exynos 980. It is a high-end chipset which sits in the middle between Snapdragon 855+ and the Snapdragon 730G found on the Xiaomi Mi Cc9 Pro. Further, while Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro has just 6 GB of RAM, Vivo X30 Pro offers up to 12 GB of RAM. Note that Oppo Reno Ace and Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro do not support 5G, while Vivo X30 Pro is the only which does. In each case, you get a highly-customized version of Android 9 Pie out of the box.

Camera

On the camera side, Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro is definitely more impressive with its 108 MP main sensor and it is one of the best camera phones you can actually get in the Android world. But even the Vivo X30 Pro is awesome at taking photos thanks to its OIS-enabled 64 MP sensor, a 32 MP portrait lens and even a 60x zoom. Oppo Reno Ace is less convincing, but it is still a pretty nice camera phone.

Battery

There is no story: Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro’s battery makes it last a lot longer on a single charge. Right after there is Vivo X30 Pro with a 4350 mAh battery, while Oppo Reno Ace has just 4000 mAh but supports a much faster charging technology with a max power of 65W (the fastest charging technology in the market).

Price

Vivo X30 Pro carries a €510/$567 starting price, Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro costs less than €360/$400, and Oppo Reno Ace starts from about €494/$549. There is not a clear winner on every side: you should go for the Oppo Reno Ace if you are more interested in performance and display, while if you need high-end performance, 5G and a great camera Vivo X30 Pro is better. Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro has a midrange chipset, but it offers the best camera and the biggest battery. Which one would you pick?

Xiaomi just came up with the Redmi K30 series: the first smartphones line-up from its sub-brand to include a 5G device. We are talking about the Redmi K30 5G, which is also the world’s first smartphone with Snapdragon 765G. Unlike other 5G devices, it is not a flagship. Just like the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro, which does not come with 5G but features the most impressive camera department. For this new comparison, we chose the Redmi K30 5G, the Mi CC9 Pro,  and the latest flagship from Redmi since now it carries a very affordable price: Redmi K20 Pro, also known in the global market as the Mi 9T Pro.

Xiaomi Redmi K30 5G vs Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro

Design

Each of these devices adopts an innovative design solution and comes with at least one distinctive aesthetical feature. Redmi K30 5G is the first Redmi device with a punch-hole display, which minimizes the bezels without the need for a notch. Redmi K20 Pro sports a pop-up front camera, so it has a full borderless display with no notch nor holes. Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro comes with a notch, but it has an elegantly curved display. In each case, you get a high build quality, so it is all a question of tastes. Which one would you pick?

Display

While these smartphones differ for the size and the form factor of their displays, they all feature very nice panels. If you desire the best color reproduction, then you would better go for the Redmi K20 Pro since it offers full DCI P3 coverage and HDR10. Even Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro has an amazing display with high DCI-P3 coverage and HDR10, but Redmi K20 Pro looks slightly better. On the other hand, Redmi K30 5G offers a 120 Hz refresh rate for smoother user experience, but it packs a classic IPS display that may not satisfy everyone (the fingerprint reader is side-mounted).

Hardware/Software

Redmi K20 Pro is the most valid smartphone since it is the only one with a flagship-class hardware side. Indeed, it packs a Snapdragon 855 chipset paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and UFS 2.1 internal storage for faster performance. Both Redmi K30 5G and Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro feature upper-midrange processors, but they are still very performing for multi-tasking, heavy apps, and even gaming. Note that Redmi K30 5G is the only to support the 5G connectivity and it packs a Snapdragon 765G SoC which is better than the Snapdragon 730G found on the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro. Redmi K30 5G is also the only one to run Android 10 out of the box.

Camera

Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro offers the best camera quality thanks to its penta-camera including a 108 MP main sensor, 5x optical zoom, and OIS. It is not only the winner of this comparison, but it is also one of the best camera phones in the market. It is one of the best devices to shoot photos in low light conditions, for zoom, and more. It even comes with an excellent front camera. Redmi K30 5G takes second place with its 64 MP quad camera and a dual front camera including a depth sensor.

Battery

Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro packs a bigger 5260 mAh and it offers a longer battery life. Despite its huge capacity, it charges very quickly thanks to its 30W fast charging technology. The silver medal goes to Redmi K30 5G packing a 4500 mAh battery and still the same 30W fast charging technology. Redmi K20 Pro has a smaller 4000 mAh battery, but it still lasts long on a single charge.

Price

The Redmi K30 5G just debuted in China with a €260/$289 starting price. Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro starts from €370/$410, while Redmi K20 Pro has a €320/$355 starting price. There is not a definitive winner here: if you want the 5G connectivity you should obviously choose the Redmi K30 5G which is the only affordable Android phone with a 120 Hz refresh ratio. Redmi K20 Pro wins only when it comes to performance, while Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro is the best at camera quality and battery life.

Xiaomi’s Mi CC9 Pro and Premium Edition metamorphosed into the Mi Note 10 on the international scene. The smartphone was released recently packing a powerful camera setup that upset the balance on DXOMark’s phone camera ranking. In order to keep the device protected, Xiaomi has released a custom protective case for the smartphone.

EDITOR’S PICK: First Samples from the 108MP Mi Mix Alpha is here & we are not impressed!

The Mi CC9 Pro/Premium Edition Contrast Ribbon Case is now officially on sale on Xiaomi Mall for just 69 yuan ($9). The case is available in two colours; blue and black. The one with a blue case comes with an orange-yellow-green streamer while the black case version has a red streamer. The streamer comes in handy to prevent the device from falling easily and also from theft. Both variants have the “RUOK” logo printed on the streamer cable. The casing offers little protection to the rear cameras, though.

The Mi CC9 Pro features a Snapdragon 730G SoC and packs a 108MP Samsung sensor as its main camera sensor in an array of 5 sensors.

Huawei’s sub-brand announced the Honor V30 flagship line-up yesterday and launched it in the Chinese market on which pre-orders will start on December 5. The new series comes two months after the new Huawei’s flagship line-up Mate 30 and just a few days after the launch of the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro. Honor V30, Mate 30 and Mi CC9 Pro are amazing camera phones available at modest prices, but they are very different devices suitable for people with different needs; that is why we decided to compare their specifications and let you know which is the most interesting.

Huawei Honor V30 vs Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro vs Huawei Mate 30

Design

The Honor V30 has a very attractive design thanks to its punch-hole display which does not include a notch but still has very minimal bezels. But not everyone might like the huge rectangle-shaped camera module on the back. If you are one of these people, then you may like the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro more. It offers a notched but borderless display with elegant curved edges, as well as a cleaner glass back. Huawei Mate 30 is less beautiful due to its bigger notch and bigger dimensions, but it is dust resistant and splash resistant, and it even supports 3D facial recognition.

Display

Each of these phones will not have an excessive price, that is why not all of their components are flagship-class. On the Honor V30, the weak point is the display. It is not a high-end OLED panel but an average IPS panel. Not that it does not provide a good image quality, but Huawei Mate 30 and Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro are both superior. They both come with an AMOLED display supporting a high DCI P3 coverage and HDR10. Huawei Mate 30 has a wider panel, perfect for productivity. Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro has curved edges, something you can love or hate.

Hardware/Software

Huawei Mate 30 wins the gold medal when it comes to hardware. It has the same Kirin 990 chipset found on the Honor V30, but in a slightly more advanced variant built with a 7 nm+ production process. It even supports 5G connectivity thanks to an integrated 5G modem. Further, it offers up to 8 GB of RAM and a very fast UFS 3.0 internal storage. Unlike the Honor V30, it has an additional slot to expand the internal storage. Honor V30 takes the silver medal since it still comes with Kirin 990 that is a flagship chipset, while Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro has a midrange Snapdragon 730G mobile platform and it does not support 5G.

Camera

The best camera is on board of the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro which is the world’s first phone (after the expensive Mi Mix Alpha) to sport a 108 MP camera. On the rear side, it has a Penta-camera with 5x optical zoom, a dedicated macro camera, an ultrawide sensor and, as mentioned above, the astonishing 108 MP Samsung sensor capturing an amazing level of detail. In the second place, we find the Huawei Mate 30 with its 40 MP triple camera including a telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and OIS. Honor V30 seems to have a better selfie camera: a dual setup with 32 and 8 MP lens (including an ultrawide sensor).

Battery

The huge 5260 mAh battery found on the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro makes it one of the best battery monsters out there. The phone lasts a lot more than Honor V30 and Huawei Mate 30. But, unlike the Huawei Mate 30 which still delivers a great battery life, it does not support fast wireless charging as well as reverse wireless charging.

Price

Honor V30 hitten China with a €425/$468 starting price, Huawei Mate 30 starts from €510/$560, and Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro starts from €360/$396. Overall, Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro is a very interesting device due to its higher camera capabilities, but I would personally go for the Huawei Mate 30 due to its better chipset, reverse wireless charging, dust and splash protection, 3D facial recognition, and stereo speakers, even though its design is not the best, according to my tastes.

Yesterday Vivo announced the new S5: someone considers it the nth mid-ranger from the company, but it is not exactly so. It offers a more original design than most of the actual budget phones, so it is worth paying attention to it. Now that we know all of its specifications and the launch price, the next step is comparing Vivo S5 with at least some of the most important mid-rangers out there in order to establish whether it is worth for potential buyers giving it a chance. For this comparison, we chose the Realme X2 due to its amazing quality-price ratio and the Xiaomi Mi CC9 due to its premium design and well-balanced specs sheet.

Vivo S5 vs Oppo Realme X2 vs Xiaomi Mi CC9

Design

As said above, Vivo S5 adopts an original and futuristic design. First of all, it comes with a punch-hole display, and that is not so easy to find it among mid-rangers. Further, it has a pretty nice diamond-like camera module on the back making its design unique. It has a bigger display and a higher screen-to-body ratio than Realme X2, yet it provides a more compact body. Even the Xiaomi Mi CC9 is a very interesting phone when it comes to aesthetics. Just like the Vivo S5, it has a glass back as well as an aluminum frame, despite it lacks a punch-hole display. Realme X2 has a plastic frame, so its build quality is inferior.

Display

Most of the punch-hole displays are IPS panels, but the Vivo S5 features a Super AMOLED screen. However, this is not the best display of the trio. The richest image quality is delivered by the Xiaomi Mi CC9 which supports the HDR standard and it even comes with high brightness. In each case, you get an in-display fingerprint reader, as well as an AMOLED panel. But only the Xiaomi Mi CC9 supports HDR.

Specs & Software

Vivo S5, Xiaomi Mi CC9, and Realme X2 are all powered by different chipsets, but all of them belong to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 700 series. The most powerful chipset is the Snapdragon 730G found on the Realme X2 which is the best for both its CPU and GPU performance. The second place goes to the Snapdragon 712 found on the Vivo S5 but it is just a slight upgrade of the Snapdragon 710 you can find on the Xiaomi Mi CC9. You should also consider that, besides having the best processor, Realme X2 features a fast UFS 2.1 storage. Each phone has Android 9 Pie out of the box, but customized by a different user interface: Vivo S5 has Funtouch OS, Xiaomi Mi CC9 has MIUI (which I define more advanced) and Realme X2 has Color OS.

Camera

At first glance, it does not seem so, but the Realme X2 has the most advanced camera department. It features a 64 MP quad camera including an ultrawide sensor, a dedicated macro camera, and a depth sensor. Even its front camera is amazing with its 32 MP resolution, but the 32 MP camera of the Xiaomi Mi CC9 uses Meitu’s algorithm which is able to enhance the selfie quality a lot. Note that no one of these devices is a high-end camera phone, they just come with midrange-class sensors.

Battery

On the paper, Vivo S5 offers a slightly bigger 4100 mAh battery, while Xiaomi Mi CC9 and Realme X2 stop at 4030 and 4000 mAh, respectively. However, this does not necessarily mean that Vivo S5 will last more on a single charge as software optimization plays an important role when it comes to small battery capacity differences.

Price

Vivo S5 6/128 GB just launched in China with a €350/$387 starting price, Xiaomi Mi CC9 costs about €360/$398 in the 6/128 GB version, and Realme X2 costs €230/$254 in the 6/128 GB configuration. Overall, in my personal opinion, Realme X2 looks like a more interesting option due to its stronger chipset and better cameras.

Xiaomi today announced the Mi CC9 Pro which is expected to launch globally as Mi Note 10. The device was promoted mainly with the 108MP Penta-camera setup that adorns the rear panel. Although we are yet to get independent reviews or samples of the camera, the camera won’t likely be a disappointment going by the 121 points in garnered on DXOMark review. The score makes the Mi CC9 Pro Premium Edition the joint top-best smartphone camera with the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, and Xiaomi isn’t keeping quiet about it.

The Chinese tech giant held a light show on its Science and Technology Park in Beijing where it used LEDs to spell the words “DXO NO.1.” P.S. We had initially thought it was done using LED but a closer look shows it is just the bright white lights on some of the offices within the massive edifice that were put to use. Quite ingenious!

EDITOR’S PICK: First Samples from the 108MP Mi Mix Alpha is here & we are not impressed!

Until recently, Xiaomi hasn’t really focused its attention on the camera hardware on its smartphones. But in recent times, we have seen the tech giant released several models with top-of-the-pack camera specs. The Mi CC9 Pro took things to a different level as the premium device emerged as the first non-flagship model to rank among the top 10 highly rated models on the benchmark outfit. It also is the first and only device not using Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800-series SoC on the top 10.

The Mi CC9 Pro features a Snapdragon 730G SoC. The SoC may indeed have contributed to the amazing performance of the device. The chipset features a better ISP and DSP than last year’s Snapdragon 845 chipset. That is not to in anyway whittle down the amazing piece of work Xiaomi did in combining five camera sensors, including Samsung’s 108MP ISOCELL sensor.  After all, the OPPO K5 uses the same Snapdragon 730G SOC but doesn’t have a camera setup as good as the Mi CC9 Pro’s.

The Mate 30 Pro has just 2 points higher than the Mi CC9 Pro in terms of still photos (132 to 130points). In the video segment, DXOMark says the ICC9 Pro’s score of 102 is the highest it has recorded so far, edging out both the Google Pixel 4 and the Samsung Note 10+ 5G by 1 point.

The post See the flashy way Xiaomi celebrated the Mi CC9 Pro’s World’s No.1 DxOMark-rated camera appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi just left everyone surprised by unveiling a smartphone with a 108 MP Penta-camera: the Mi CC9 Pro. According to the known portal DxOMark, it is the best camera phone out there alongside the Huawei Mate 30 Pro. Yet it is a pretty affordable device since not all of its specifications are flagship-grade. That is why, while waiting for its global launch as under the Mi Note 10 moniker, we decided to compare it with other affordable high-end smartphones and flagship killers actually available. For this comparison, we chose the Realme X2 Pro and the Oppo Reno 2 since they are among the most wanted devices in the same price range.

Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro vs Oppo Realme X2 Pro vs Oppo Reno2

Design

Despite being an astonishing camera phone, for the Xiaomi Mi C99 Pro, the company did not focus so much on providing an innovative design. It is a very elegant and suggestive handset, but the Oppo Reno2 is undoubtedly more original and attractive. It has a notch-less display with very narrow bezels, as well as a shark fin motorized pop-up camera and amazing build quality including a Gorilla Glass 6 front side glass and a Gorilla Glass 5 rear side. Each of these devices features an optical in-display fingerprint reader.

Display

The most advanced display is on board of the Realme X2 Pro. It is one of the most affordable devices with a flagship-class screen. The Realme X2 Pro is equipped with a 6.5-inch panel boasting the support to HDR10+ technology, a full DCI P3 coverage, and a 90 Hz refresh rate. It is an amazing panel for both multimedia and gamers. With its high 600 nits peak brightness and the support to HDR, even Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro has an awesome display, but it is far from the Realme X2 Pro.

Hardware/Software

Realme X2 Pro is way superior to both the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro and the Oppo Reno2 since it has a better hardware department. The processor is the best one released by Qualcomm this year: the Snapdragon 855+ running at 2.96 GHz. Both Reno2 and Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro feature a midrange-class Snapdragon 730G chipset. Further, the Realme X2 Pro is the only with up to 12 GB of RAM and even the only to come with a UFS 3.0 native storage (the configuration with 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage is UFS 2.1). Android 9 Pie is preinstalled on each of these phones, but on the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro it is customized by the MIUI instead of the ColorOS found on the Oppo Reno2 and Realme X2 Pro.

Camera

Despite being a mid-ranger, the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro is one of the most awesome camera phones out there. It is equipped with a Penta-camera including a top-class 108 MP primary sensor, 5x optical zoom, an ultrawide sensor, a dedicated macro camera, and OIS. While it wins the comparison, Oppo Reno2 takes the second place with a 48 MP quad-camera supporting OIS. Realme X2 Pro’s camera is its weakest point: despite it has a 64 MP resolution, its primary sensor is midrange-class.

Battery

After the camera, battery life is the biggest advantage offered by the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro. The battery has a huge 5260 mAh capacity and it fully charges in just 65 minutes thanks to 30W fast charging. Realme X2 Pro charges even faster: you need just 35 minutes, but its battery is smaller and the battery life is shorter. Oppo Reno2 sits in the middle but it has a slower charging technology than Realme X2 Pro.

Price

Realme X2 Pro costs €399/$442 globally, Oppo Reno2 starts from €499/$552, and Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro starts from €360/$399 in China, but we still do not know how much it will cost globally.
