Snapdragon 855 sits at the core of this one, paired with 6GB RAM and a choice of 64GB or 128GB storage. That chipset was Qualcomm's top-tier silicon in 2019, so day-to-day performance and gaming should still hold up fine. The 6.39-inch Super AMOLED panel runs at 403 ppi and packs an under-display fingerprint reader, a feature that was still fairly new at this price point when the phone launched.

The rear setup is a triple camera: 48MP main lens at f/1.8, a 16MP ultrawide, and a 12MP telephoto with 2x optical zoom, so you get some actual reach without digital cropping. Front camera is 20MP for selfies and video calls. Battery capacity is 3300 mAh, on the modest side by today's standards, though NFC and an infrared blaster round out the connectivity list nicely.

Xiaomi Mi 9 price in Malaysia starts from RM1699. It comes in Lavender Violet, Ocean Blue, and Piano Black, running Android 9.0 Pie with MIUI 10 on top.
