In July this year, Xiaomi unveiled three phones under the all-new “CC” lineup named Mi CC9, CC9e & CC9 Meitu Edition. The Xiaomi Mi CC9e even made it to the global market as the Xiaomi Mi A3. Today, Xiaomi launched yet another phone under this lineup named Mi CC9 Pro. Now, this is a different phone when you compare it to the other phones in this series.
The Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro is a premium mid-range phone & also the World’s first phone (available to buy) with a 108MP camera. Other impressive features include Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G SOC, a 5,260mAh battery, Penta Camera setup on the rear & more.
