Xiaomi is holding an event in China on September 24
where it's going to unveil the Mi 9 Pro 5G. This phone is an evolution of the
Mi 9 launched at MWC in February, and as the name implies, it packs 5G
connectivity. It's also got the Snapdragon 855+ chipset, and an all-round very
fast charging system, with 40W wired, 30W wireless, and 10W
reverse wireless.
The new charging tech has already been made
official, and Xiaomi has confirmed that it's headed to the Mi 9 Pro 5G. The
company outed the official images of the phone you can see below, in a new
white colorway that the original Mi 9 didn't get.
JD.com, one of China's biggest online retailers, is
already taking reservations for the device. According to past rumors, the Mi 9
Pro 5G should have the same screen as the original Mi 9, and a 48 MP main rear
camera flanked by two others, though it's unclear if this will be the exact
same set up as in the Mi 9.
The 4,000 mAh battery will be charged fully with a
30W wireless charger in only 69 minutes, while to go from 0 to 50% it needs 25
minutes. Wired charging will bring the battery from 0 to 100% in just 48
minutes, according to Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun.
