The Chinese company Xiaomi does not stop us dazzling year after year by launching a group of the best phones in the middle class that is distinguished by the best specifications and are being supported at a competitive price to other major Korean and Japanese companies.
This year, during the MWC 2019 conference held last February, the company launched its latest Mi phone, which is named Xiaomi Mi 9, which is a phone with a price that meets the specifications if it does not give it its right if we compare it with the top-class phones that contain the last generation From Qualcomm chipset which is known as Snapdragon 855.
Screen and design of the Xiaomi Mi 9 phone
The phone comes with a Super AMOLED screen manufactured by Samsung, which provides screens for many smartphone manufacturers, a screen with a resolution of 1080 times 2340 pixels and a density of 403 pixels per inch, as it is protected by a layer of Gorilla Glass 6, all within a relatively thick frame compared to phones In 2019, it measured 6.39 inches, bringing the screen to body ratio to nearly 85.2 percent.
The phone has a notch on top of the front camera, which is small and fairly acceptable, and it is also made entirely of glass with an aluminum frame, which gives it a look that suggests that it is a top-class phone.
The most disadvantage of the design of the phone is the back camera that is totally unacceptable even when the phone is placed on a flat surface that vibrates and shows its height due to the thickness of the camera, which makes it vulnerable to scratch greatly, but on the other hand, it is surrounded by a frame with aesthetic design and frames Interior glow in the colors of the spectrum. In contrast, when you hold the phone and use it for a long time, you do not feel tired or pain in the palm of your hand.
The phone screen supports HDR 10 technology and being made by Samsung, it makes it strong, solid and with a very high level of lighting compared to Huawei phone that was released this year also Huawei P30 Pro.
The screen, unlike what is expected in the middle-class phones, has a very fast integrated fingerprint, and may even outperform the Galaxy S10 fingerprint, which sometimes calls for doubt about the accuracy of the fingerprint scanner, and more than five fingers can be added to identify the user with the ability to activate Facial recognition, but unfortunately, without a 3D sensor, such as Apple's iPhone.
Hardware and specifications of the Xiaomi Mi 9 phone
One of the most distinguishing features of the Xiaomi Mi 9 is the hardware. The phone is a mid-range while it has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chip, which is the latest release of Qualcomm, which contains eight cores, one of which reaches a speed of 2.8 GHz, and we see it already in phones Top class like Samsung Galaxy S10, which promises fast and smooth performance supported by RAM which is available in two capacities, 6 GB and 8 GB
Xiaomi Mi 9 is available with Android 9.0 Pie, with the MIUI 10 interface, which is also one of the weaknesses in the phone because, despite the aesthetics of this interface in addition to its features and features, it seems that Xiaomi is compensating for the low prices of phones with ads that are full of them. Almost all major system apps without the ability to remove these ads or remove these applications without making Root phone.
The phone also has a dark pattern for the interface and not the Android system itself, but it is flawed that the texts are gray in it which makes them unclear, unlike what we are waiting for in Android 10.0 Q, which will also contain a dark pattern, but the texts are white, which makes it more clear.
The phone also makes a survey of all applications that are downloaded from the Google Play Store, which is somewhat annoying with the prolonged use of the phone as it is not justified due to Google's protection and examination of all applications already on it.
The MIUI interface of Xiaomi also disadvantages that it does not receive updates quickly upon release, leaving you exposed to a lot of risks in addition to any performance problems or system crashes for a long time until you get the update that patches these problems
Xiaomi Mi 9 camera phone
Xiaomi is proud of its top phones this year on three rear cameras, one of them with 48 megapixels and f / 1.8 lens slot, followed by 16-megapixel (2.2 lenses) camera and 12-megapixel camera ( 2.2 lenses) slot.
The camera with a huge number of pixels has a number of features that we see on the Xiaomi Mi 9, such as the ability to zoom after taking pictures and the many details in the pictures, but this comes at the expense of the faded colors that we are not used to from Xiaomi phones, but it is closer to reality, which may be Liked by some fans of photo editing after taking, and disliked by others.
As well; One of the drawbacks of the camera with huge pixels from Xiaomi is the slow process of image processing, which is normal because of the collection of data of 48 million pixels, of course, but it is definitely a defect, and there is another defect, which is the watermark that exists on all the images, which is also a means of advertising and compensation The low price of the Xiaomi Mi 9 phone, as in the photos taken with the 48-megapixel camera, it is written that it was taken with the Mi 9 phone camera, while the usual photos are written on the Mi 9 Triple Camera.
The phone also has a night shooting mode, and with the main camera lens zooming in, it increases the amount of light that passes inside the camera, which makes images great in poor lighting conditions, but it is defective in low quality compared to Google Pixel and Huawei P30 phones, for example.
The phone makes the camera in the middle the default option when photographing, and it is very acceptable quality, and the third camera is the Telephoto camera and enables you to optical zoom up to 2x, but compared to the Oppo Reno phone that was launched yesterday, the 2x zoom range has become a thing of the past.
Speaking of the front camera, it has a 20 MP resolution and f / 2.0 lens slot and supports HDR video shooting at up to 30 frames per second for 1080p resolution.
But at the same time it is flawed by the sharpness of the images in exchange for clarity of colors and details as it does not soften the captured images significantly, but above all, like any front camera in any other phone because of the lack of interest in them as much as the back camera, it produces images that are not good In low or weak lighting conditions.
Xiaomi Mi 9 phone battery
The Xiaomi Mi 9 phone contains a battery with a capacity of 3300 mAh, which is very good performance as it can work for a full day continuously, and the Chinese company worked on the speed of charging as well, as it reaches 68 percent in about 30 minutes, which are all good numbers.
