Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite product description
The Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite is a bit simpler, and therefore cheaper, brother of the Mi 9. And yet it has the same high 48 megapixel camera with artificial intelligence. What that is of use for you is something you can find out here.
Sam Samsung display
We'll get back on camera, but let's start with the screen. Xiaomi buys her panels from Samsung. That's good news for consumers because the Super AMOLED screens are known for their high contrast, colour reproduction and readability outdoors. The panel in the Mi 9 Lite measures a large 6.39 inches, has thin screen edges and is also equipped with a blue-light filter, which makes reading text more pleasant to the eye. The fingerprint scanner is built in. This also applies to the selfie camera. It's in a drop-shaped notch at the top. That immediately explains the term 'Dot Drop Display'.

AI camera with sky filter
On the back of the Mi 9 Lite is a triple camera consisting of a 48 megapixel Sony sensor with a bright f/1.79 lens for clear shots even in the dark. There is also an 8 megapixel camera with an ultra-wide-angle lens and finally a 2 megapixel depth camera. The AI triple camera shoots sharp images, even at nite or during movement. It can make background blur for portraits and automatically polishes up photos. For example, there is an sky filter that allows clouds to stand out better.
Main Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite specifications
- Large 6.39 inch AMOLED Dot Drop Display with Full HD+ resolution
- 48 + 8 + 2 MP camera with Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Possibility to insert memory card (up to 256 GB)
- Dualsim capabilities (shared with memory slot)
- Fast 4G internet (on both SIM cards)
- Octacore processor (Snapdragon 710) at 2.2 GHz
Quite powerful
Xiaomi has equipped the Mi 9 Lite with a Snapdragon 710 processor that provides the necessary processing power. This is a mid-range chipset of the highest category. Neat for a phone called Lite. Also not really light is the battery. It has a large capacity of 4030 mAh and supports fast charging. What the device also supports is infra-red. So you can control your TV with your phone. Or any other device with an infra-red remote control.
