This phone is amazing but first things first:

PROS:

• Super powerful phone: With that low money you get decent SD 855 with Adreno 640, that is incredible!
• Fingerprint at it's finest : Works like a charm and fast plus it is on-screen fingerprint which is more secure.
• Camera strikes! Camera is just something amazing, the depth the wideness and quality will boom your mind. I almost forgot what are cameras used for because actually I never use cameras and never was into them but this phone's camera is beast! TRIPLE camera...
• Too Thin : It is advantage surely as it is really thin and made beautifully
• Less notch: The amazing part is the notch as small as front camera
• Display: Now you have not only some not smooth display but really decent one almost equal to Samsung's
• GPS : Gps is very precious and gives really good location on High Frequency
• GPU: You are going to get decent gameplay and not laggy 4K videos!


CONS:
• Heat: Heats like a hell! If you just start to watch a video it simply heats like a hell
• Battery: Yeah, again battery issues..with 3300 MAH you are not getting decent workload and barely can last a day if you are going to actively use the phone. BRAND NEW bought one has that issue.
• Poor and not-professional support of Xiaomi: Although this device is uniquely new but still Xiamoi misses major and critical fixes including - Notifications are not shown, alarm icon becoming persistent if you ever put an alarm, too many bloatwares in OS and OS weights around 3 GB which means the've put extra 1.5GB into the stock Android OS...no clue what they did?
• Slickness: It slicks from your hand soo easy, material of the back is slicky as hell
• Audio Jack: Yeah that is an issue which I have faced. I wanted to charge and have my headers on simultaneously but you are out of luck if you are going to charge via cable
• 1 WEKK waiting: Waiting time for me was 1 week to unlock the bootloader. Still Xiaomi does it's best to make users not to be comfortable in using their own product which they have paid for.

VERDICT
I don't regret buying this one! It is amazing phone for the price I have paid- 500$+- and I get amoled screen with SD 855 and 6GB of RAM which is yeah low but still. Compare to any other SD 855 phones..you will have to spend minimum 1000$ to afford one so for that price this phone is a complete winner! if Xiaomi would fix the CONS mentioned that there would be no cost to this masterpiece in whole WORLD.

NOTICE
This phone is tom first in benchmarks, 1st place...so you'd better buy this one. Iphone and other phones are now in faaar past.

          Naganaveen india, 08 Aug 2019Dual frequency gps not good need improvement, Samsung A10 better than mi9Hello Naganaveen india,
          I was about to buy the MI9 for the dual GPS, which is supposed to be more accurate than most other smart phones, due to dual band GPS.
          Is your experience with the MI9 still negative?

                          I test an average of 5 smartphones a day, for its price it is the best only the sterio sound when I feel apart from it
                          I validate it and I recommend it
