    The Mi 9 is expected to boast a 6.4-inch Full HD+ display with a waterdrop notch and will be powered by Qualcomm's newest flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 855.

    The launch will take place a few hours before another major flagship launch—the Samsung Galaxy S10. The Galaxy S10 will be launched at the Unpacked event held at San Francisco at 12:30 am IST on 21 February.

    While the Chinese smartphone maker has made most of the specifications publicly available, it has held back the pricing of the Mi 9. This will be unveiled at the time of the launch.

    Xiaomi Mi 9: Specifications

    The Xiaomi Mi 9 will boast a gradient back, much like the previously launched Redmi Note 7. The manufacturing process of the back panel helps it produce aurora-like streaks of lights when viewed at particular angles.

    It will be lit by a 6.4-inch Full HD+ display with waterdrop notch design. The smartphone is expected to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. It will be backed by a 3,500mAh battery with support for 27W fast charging.

    In terms of software, the Mi 9 will run MIUI 10 based on Android 9.0 Pie.

    We can expect the Mi 9 to sport Sony's IMX576 sensor with a resolution of 48MP. This might be accompanied by two more sensors—a 12MP secondary and a 3D time-of-flight (ToF) sensor which promises better depth, low light and AR performance.

    Biometrics options of the Mi 9 might include an in-display fingerprint scanner and face unlock.
