Xiaomi at an event it hosted in China on Tuesday introduced its first 5G smartphone, the Mi 9 Pro 5G. The “Pro” and the “5G” in its naming signals the present of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset and Snapdragon X50 modem, both of which the non-pro model that was released in February lacked. Moreover, this also backed a larger battery with a new state-of-the-art ultra fast charging.
The Mi 9 shared the same display with the Mi 9, we are talking about a 6.39-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a screen-to-body ratio of 90.7%, protected by Gorilla Glass 6. The cameras are the same too – 48MP+12MP+16MP triple camera at the back and a 20MP camera at the front. However, as previously mentioned, the overclocked Snapdragon 855 Plus and the overclocked Adreno 640 GPU coupled with it will deliver a better performance compared to the Snapdragon 855 processor that powered the Mi 9.
