Snapdragon 710 runs the show here, paired with 6GB RAM and your choice of 64GB or 128GB UFS 2.1 storage. That's a mid-range chipset that handles everyday apps and light gaming without fuss. The 6.39-inch Super AMOLED screen is the standout at this price, with an in-display fingerprint sensor and a 19.5:9 ratio that makes for a tall, narrow build. Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite price in Malaysia starts from RM818.

The camera setup covers the basics well: a 48MP main sensor with PDAF, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots. Up front, a 32MP selfie camera handles video calls and social media shots. Video tops out at 4K30fps, which is standard for this segment.

Battery capacity sits at 4030 mAh with 18W fast charging, enough for a full day of moderate use. You still get NFC, an IR blaster, a headphone jack and a glass-and-aluminum build with Gorilla Glass 5 front and back. It comes in Pearl White, Aurora Blue and Onyx Grey.
