Xiaomi has been marketing the camera prowess of the Mi CC9 Pro (or the Mi Note 10) more than any other feature. Even before the device was first unveiled in China, the company had shared the camera samples and features of its 108MP penta-lens camera. Here’s what you need to know.
The primary camera on the Mi CC9 Pro is the 108MP ISOCELL Bright HMX sensor that has been developed by Samsung in collaboration with Xiaomi. The sensor is the first one to adopt a large size of 1/1.33-inch and uses pixel-merging Tetracell technology to produce 27MP images.
The sensor was first used in Xiaomi’s all-screen Mi MIX Alpha smartphone. There are also reports suggesting that Samsung could use the same 108MP sensor in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S11.
The penta-lens camera setup of the Mi CC9 Pro carries a 20MP ultrawide-angle lens with 117-degrees of field of view. There is a 2MP dedicated macro lens that is capable of 1.5cm Super Macro shots. The 12MP telephoto lens on the MI CC9 Pro offers 2x optical zoom and the ultra telephoto lens offers 10x hybrid optical zoom as well as 50x digital zoom.
The Mi CC9 Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G processor, which is a gaming chipset. Qualcomm claims that the chipset provides 15 per cent graphics boost over the SD730 for a more powerful gaming experience. The chipset also supports True HDR and based on an 8nm production process.
The octa-core Snapdragon 730G chipset is paired with Adreno 618GPU and has a CPU clock speed of up to 2.2GHz. The CPU cores on the chipset have a 2×2.2 GHz Kryo 470 Gold and 6×1.8 GHz Kryo 470 Silver structure.
