Mi CC9 PRO - Mi Note 10: Everything we know so far about the features and the cameras

The Mi CC9 Pro made his appearance on Tena earlier today, and we already knew that the new Smartphone will have a slightly curved screen, with a notch for the Selfie camera on top.

Τtime, Xiaomi officially released a new Render of Mi CC9 Pro showing the curvature of the screen on both sides. We also get a taste of the waterdrop notch on the top of the phone, along with the presence of a 3,5mm headphone jack on the bottom.

According to the listing in TENAA, the Mi CC9 Pro it will be quite thick (9,67mm), but even this thickness will not be able to fully "digest" the layout of the cameras on the back, and they will protrude from the body. The main sensor will be at 108MP, and as you can see in the photos below, even the wide-angle camera (the large lens under the triple cameras) protrudes from the body of the back.

While the thickness of the device can be considered a disadvantage, the good thing is that it can accommodate a really large battery at 5170mAh, which in combination with the Snapdragon 730G (the processor has not yet been confirmed), should offer a very satisfactory autonomy in the device.

The Mi CC9 Pro should not be a flagship model, so it is not expected to have 5G support, nor a high screen refresh rate. Since many smartphones have started using at least one screen with a refresh rate of 90Hz (sometimes even at 120Hz), this is a bit disappointing.

In terms of cameras, the device will have an array of five cameras (penta-lens system), and will even support 5x optical zoom.

It seems that the Mi CC9 Pro will be the first Smartphone of the company that will have a periscope lens. The first lens in the installation of the five cameras will be a periscope sensor that will allow the phone to support 5x optical zoom, 10x hybrid zoom and 50x digital zoom.

The second lens is a 50 mm portrait lens at 12-megapixel with a large pixel size (1,4 m). Supports dual autofocus PD and has f / 2.0 aperture. The third lens is a 108 megapixel lens made by Samsung. It is a 1 / 1,33 inch sensor with aperture at f / 1,7. The fourth is a powerful 20-megapixel lens with a field of view of 117 degrees (wide angle). The latter is a Macro lens with a minimum focal length of 1,5cm.

Xiaomi has revealed that the 108-megapixel lens and the periscope lens will be equipped with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). As it turns out, the five cameras will be supported by a pair of dual-flash flash modules. The cost of the cameras of this phone is five times higher than that of the Mi CC9.

Xiaomi even released a sample of the camera at 108MP, which is not exactly a full-size sample, but Xiaomi reported that it cut a small part of the original sample (0,8% of the actual image) and showed us that the photo still has incredible details.

The company said it took a portrait image and cut only 0,8% of the image to focus on the eye you see above. What is interesting is that not only are the details of the eye clear and focused, but we can also clearly see the reflection in the eye.

The device will be released in China as Mi CC9 PRO, while in other countries and in Europe, it is expected to be released as Mi Note 10. 

In fact, there may be another version that will be released as Mi Note 10 Pro, which will "wear" the Snapdragon 855+.
