Takes the DxOMark camera throne

Xiaomi has officially unveiled its new Mi CC9 Pro smartphone, a mid-range smartphone with Snapdragon 730G SoC, and the one that comes with no less than five cameras at its back.

The Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro is built around a 6.47-inch AMOLED screen with 600 nits brightness and HDR10 support, but as it is a mid-ranger, it sticks to FHD+ resolution (2340x1080), leaving it with just shy of 400 ppi of pixel density. It also has a center placed notch and slim top and bottom bezels.

The phone itself measures 157.8x74.2x9.7 mm and weighs 208g, which is pretty hefty for a phone with glass on both front and back (Gorilla Glass 5) combined with an aluminum frame.

The heart of the Mi CC9 Pro is Qualcomm's 8nm Snapdragon 730G SoC, with an octa-core CPU part (two 2.2GHz Kryo 470 Gold and six 1.8GHz Kryo 470 Silver cores) and Adreno 618 GPU. The SoC is combined with 6GB or 8GB of RAM, and 128GB or 256GB of storage.

The biggest selling point of the Mi CC9 Pro is its main camera which is a penta-camera system with a 108-megapixel main sensor. It uses Samsung's ISOCELL Bright HMX sensor, first seen on the Mi Mix Alpha. The main sensor is placed behind a 25mm wide lens and has PDAF, Laser AF, and OIS.

Next in line is the 5-megapixel sensor behind f/2.0 aperture lens which also PDAF, Laser AF and 5x optical zoom, 20-megapixel sensor with an ultrawide angle 13mm lens with f/2.2 aperture and Laser AF, as well as 12-megapixel sensor behind 50mm telephoto lens with f/2.0 aperture for portraits. Last but not least, is a 2-megapixel sensor with a f/2.4 lens which is a dedicated macro camera. You also get quad-LED dual-tone flash.

The front camera, placed in the notch, is a 32-megapixel one with f/2.0 aperture, HDR, and capable of recording 1080p at 30fps.
