According to Jun, being a trend setting smartphone, the Mi CC9 has to sport a good design. He added that this time Xiaomi’s “Art Students” team designed the romantic white version of the Mi CC9. While Jun has dubbed the model as Romantic White, it may not be the actual name of the color variant since Wei has asked to choose a suitable name from options like Dream White, White Dream Mirror and White Lovers for above shown color variant.

The Mi CC9 is expected to house a full HD+ 6.2-inch display with waterdrop notch and it could be fueled by Snapdragon 730 chipset, up to 8 GB of RAM and 4,000mAh battery with 27W fast charging. The triple camera setup of the phone will have Sony IMX586 48-megapixel primary sensor and it may include a 16-megapixel ultrawide lens and a 12-megapixel sensor. The handset may come with up to 256 GB of native storage and it is expected to run on a custom version of MIUI 10 based Android 9 Pie OS for CC series. It may release with a starting price of 2,599 Yuan in China. A lower version of the phone dubbed as Mi CC9e is also rumored to go official alongside it.
