The
Mi 9 Pro 5G will be announced in a few days and Xiaomi isn’t keeping the
phone’s features a secret. Today, it has revealed more details about the
upcoming flagship. The Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G will pack
a 4000mAh battery, a significant bump from the 3300mAh in the Mi 9. The
increase in battery capacity is necessary since this is a 5G device and a
3300mAh battery will not suffice. Xiaomi says, even with the battery capacity,
the Mi 9 Pro 5G isn’t heavy as it weighs 196 grams.
Xiaomi
also released a battery performance comparison sheet of the Mi 9 and the Mi 9
Pro 5G. The result shows the Mi 9 Pro 5G still has 21% battery left after 7
hours of use which include gaming, video and audio streaming, video recording,
video calling, and car navigation. The Mi 9 Pro 5G
will support 40W wired charging and 30W wireless charging, so you can fill up
the phone in the shortest time possible.
The
official Xiaomi Weibo account also confirmed that the Mi 9 Pro 5G will come
with a 1.04CC sound cavity, a 1217 super linear speaker, a smart PA, and
support for Low Latency and High Definition Codec (LHDC) technology. All these
should provide loud and impressive audio performance.
The
Mi 9 Pro will also have 4D shock or HD vibration. This should provide a more
immersive experience when playing games. Xiaomi says HD Vibration supports up
to 150 different vibration modes and has a user interface that adapts to
different scenes. The Mi 9 Pro 5G will have NFC
with support for eID which is required if you want to use the high-speed train,
board a plane, or check into a hotel. It will also be able to work as your car
key.
If
you are expecting a 4G version of the Mi 9 Pro, Xiaomi’s co-founder and CEO,
Lei Jun, announced on Weibo that all versions of the phone are 5G and there is
no 4G version. Based on the post, we can infer that there will be other
configurations available with less RAM and storage. He adds that those who want
a 4G phone should consider other flagships such as the Mi 9, Redmi K20 Pro, or
Black Shark 2.
