Xiaomi strictly follows its plan of conquest in the Spanish territory. Its most recent terminals are the Mi 9T and its most advanced version, the Mi 9T Pro. A new brother arrives for these two devices, a distant relative, but whom Xiaomi baptizes as Mi 9 Lite. Actually, this smartphone has already been presented, it is the Xiaomi CC9. The terminal that many of us believed would be the Mi A3, but that after the disappointment was forgotten until now.
This strategy is not new, Xiaomi has been renaming and renaming the terminals according to the market to which they are intended. There is no major problem except the mess that is formed when looking for information about them. It appears now and not before, because first it has had to pass the necessary certifications to be able to be sold within the European framework.
Mi 9 Lite, the terminal that could be the Mi A3
We anticipated the disappointment of the Mi A3, mainly because of its screen, but it is still a terminal with promising capabilities. Now, the Mi 9 Lite comes to offer a more acceptable option at that price range, yes, forget about Android Stock, it will carry MIUI like any other Xiaomi terminal. Leaving this aside, its presentation would take place on September 16 -in three days- Xiaomi Spain wanted to echo the new member of the family, thanks to the tweet that they have put we have been able to know the arrival date for this terminal.
If we review its characteristics, we find a Full HD + screen mounted on an AMOLED panel. Inside a processor signed by Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 710. A quantitative leap in power within the mid-range, processors close to those of last year's high-end. More than enough for everyday tasks, but possibly it falls short when it comes to demanding it as if it were a high-end. For memory and RAM, there would be different configurations, starting from 64GB to 256GB and going through 128GB, the fast access memory would reach 8GB in the most complete model, but it would start from 6GB.
The photographic section would not be far from the current Mi A3, three sensors on its back and with a versatile configuration (normal, wide-angle and telephoto) If it arrives with results similar to those of its counterpart in Android Stock, we can hope that they will please the majority of users. The battery, 4030 mAh, a figure that implies a minimum of a day and a half with normal use, or even more if we do not waste so many milliamps. The icing on this proposal would be in the fingerprint reader, integrated into the screen. But we would have to wait and see how it works under normal conditions.
The Mi 9 Lite arrives on September 16, it does so after having passed the relevant certifications. It is possible that many users disappointed by the Mi A3 find in this terminal a substitute for their Mi A2, meanwhile we can only wait for the day of its presentation and its subsequent analysis.
