Hmmm it’s basically possible eg S10?
Don't just look at it on the surface level. The engineering differs between brands and it also depends on how the maker designs its internal structure too, which is not the same for different phone makers.

this quite true also. Which is why tends to see more males carrying a Xiaomi phone.
This is also why Xiaomi designed the Gradient Purple colour scheme for the Mi 9, so as to attract female users to getting it.

Previously, Xiaomi's overall design and colour scheme tends to cater more to males in general.

Comparison of mi 9 and s10+ camera. Mi 9 autofocus is really fast, faster than s10+ dual pd sensor.

Wow. Mi MIX 3 going to have 5G? Is it going to upgrade the processor to Snapdragon 855?
Xiaomi previewed the MIX 3 5G with the Snapdragon 845 with 5G modem last year, not sure if they will launch it with Snapdragon 855 now.

x50 modem is outdated even before any phone is launch. X55 modem is faster and energy efficient, smaller antenna for thinner phone. Qualcomm said phones with the x55 modem will be out in 2H this year. :(

GG. 6GB 128GB version cost euro$499 which is about the same price as the explorer version in China. Global customer is really like carrot let them chop. I wonder are they trying to earn from Global customer and use the profit to subsidized the customer in China?

Get use to it bro, moving forward this is how it is, affordable for China and India which is their mass market and the rest of the world are carrots to TOP up the profit revenue.

This is what a lot of mi fans has been saying about xm hence they relented and so a 2999 for mi 9.

Again lei Jun said this is the last time any mi series phone will be at that price point and moving forward that price point will be cover by other series ie Redmi and pocco

Xiaomi global brick motar stores are operated by authorised dealers. They have to mark up for profit and europe has high import taxes, gst.

I think only hong kong and taiwan xiaomi official retail stores are selling at equivalent price to china.

Unboxing video of global version revealed same old 18 watt max charger. :(:mad: No wonder just now mwc launch presentation did not talk about the 27W wired charging.

The 27W charger is not sold separably, has to buy the 20W wireless charger to get it as bundle for 50 rmb more.

Hi bro,

Tentative kiv 1st wait for the pricing and compare it to s10e and also Huawei offering soon

Unless you are you tuber or vlogger then you want to get it soon to do your content and then flip it

When can we buy this mi 9? Looks promising enough

Agree, that’s why in my previous comment in Sg their pricing will not be competitive unless bundling with the wireless charger together with either car charger or wireless power bank
