Xiaomi Mi 9 64 GB / 6 GB
 | Outdated Product £254.09 A premium smartphone, “charged”, as they say, to the maximum. Inside the glass case with a gradient-coloured back, Chinese engineers managed to place an uncompromising in terms of performance “iron” bundle of the 855th “dragon” from Qualcomm and 6 GB of RAM, which turns absolutely everything that comes to hand. The front part of Xiaomi Mi 9 64GB is provided with a Super AMOLED screen of 6.39-inch diagonal with support for displaying images in HDR10 high dynamic range and a high maximum brightness threshold of 600 cd/m². Here you can see the latest fashion peep — under-screen fingerprint scanner. The 20 MP selfie camera lens on the front panel blends harmoniously into the display's teardrop notch. From the rear, the smartphone is equipped with a triple photographic “clip” with a large-calib...er 48 MP sensor as the leader and auxiliary cameras of 12 MP (telephoto), as well as 16 MP (ultra-wide with a field of view of 117 °). The flagship's additional assets include an NFC chip and fast charging of a 3300 mAh battery (up to a full tank in 60 minutes at the outlet). The device lacks only a memory expansion slot and dust and water protection of the case. However, against the backdrop of a democratic pricing policy for the product, these omissions to the smartphone are excusable. |

Ferrari at the price of a Volkswagen
At a current price of just under $400, the Xiaomi Mi 9 looks like the perfect smartphone for those buyers looking for a high-end mobile camera but who don't need a quantum computer in their pocket or bells and whistles like two-way wireless charging. Although "normal" wireless charging is available.
Pocket Photographer
A 48 MP 1/2" image sensor with f/1.75 aperture optics was assigned to the role of the leader in the "three-story" camera, and a telephoto lens with a 12 MP matrix and a 16 MP "wide" lens with a field of view angle of 117 degrees was provided to help him. released in early 2019, DxOMark experts called it the best in terms of video shooting (99 points according to test results). and concedes the first lines of the podium in the discipline "Mobile photography" to only a few camera phones from Huawei.
Colorful Super AMOLED screen and powerful hardware
The device received a glass body with metal frames and a 6.4-inch high-quality Super AMOLED display with HDR10 support. It has a waterdrop notch with a 20 MP front camera, as well as Full HD + resolution with an aspect ratio of 19.5: 9. Under the hood of the device, the flagship Snapdragon 855 is installed, working in combination with the Adreno 640 and 6 GB graphics core. The amount of internal memory is only 64 GB and it cannot be increased with a memory card, however, modifications with an increased amount of memory can be found on the market. With the exception of memory, iron here is the golden mean. It pulls everything for a sweet soul, has a margin of safety for the future, and there is nothing superfluous. Let's be honest, why would anyone need 12 GB of RAM in a smartphone today?
Fast and wireless charging
The additional assets of Xiaomi Mi 9 have a full set of communication modules, including an infrared port and an NFC chip, as well as a newfangled under-screen fingerprint scanner. There are only a couple of cons. The 3300 mAh battery looks frivolous even by the standards of smartphones for a hundred rubles and its ceiling is a day of work with relatively active use. PowerBank in the pocket of the bag will not be superfluous. And the main mono speaker is not particularly impressive in sound quality. Especially against the background of OnePlus 7 Pro and S10 Plus with their powerful and bright stereo speakers. Well, the water protection of the case would not hurt. But all this is more than offset by the price. Throw a little more and get a Ferrari for the price of a Volkswagen.
