Xiaomi confirms Mi 9T with new design is coming soon

[#DEXTER]

Xiaomi has teased the Mi 9T, an incremental upgrade to the Mi 9 that only launched in March 2019. The 9T promises specs and design changes, with promo photos appearing to show a screen without a notch.

It’s likely that the Mi 9T shares similarities to the Redmi K20 Pro that Xiaomi just launched in China. With that phone likely to stay exclusive to eastern markets, the 9T will likely come to the UK and Europe with the rest of the Xiaomi range.

The absence of a notch is pretty much confirmed by Xiaomi’s use of the hashtag #PopUpInStyle on its official Twitter page, implying the 9T will indeed have the pop-up selfie camera of the Redmi K20 Pro.

Much like OnePlus is known to do, Xiaomi updating its flagship phone with a ‘T’ version probably means some cosmetic but not internal updates. The Mi 9T is likely to retain the Snapdragon 855 (there is no better Qualcomm mobile processor as of May 2019), 6/8GB RAM and, as the photos confirm, triple cameras on the back.

Those cameras may get a slight update, perhaps in the megapixel count, with the pop-up selfie camera added for good measure. 

Otherwise we’ll have to wait for full details on the phone. Hopefully the 3300mAh battery of the regular Mi 9 will get a bump up to the 4000mAh of the K20 Pro – and potentially it could offer a headphone jack that the Mi 9 lacked.

For now, it’s yet another incremental update to a phone that has not been out for long, and will no doubt annoy anyone who has just bought a Mi 9 if it does indeed improve the specs.
