Xiaomi Mi 9 camera test: truly impressive for the price

0

The Xiaomi Mi 9 may not be heading to the US, but it’s likely to be one of the most popular Android devices in Asia and Europe this spring since the phone packs most of the specs we’ve seen inside the Samsung Galaxy S10 for a mere €499. While Xiaomi phones have typically offered great performance with top of the line specs, camera performance has typically been sub-par when compared to other flagship devices. That doesn’t seem to be the case with this year’s Xiaomi Mi 9.

The camera specs include a triple camera on the back featuring a 48MP main sensor with a 27mm lens, a 12MP sensor with a 2X zoom lens and a 16MP that’s paired with a 13mm ultra-wide lens. Up front, Xiaomi’s thrown in a 20 MP sensor with an f/2.0 lens. We honestly weren’t expecting much when we started snapping pictures with this phone, but we were pleasantly surprised by the results.
