Xiaomi Mi 9 code name: 'Battle Angel' press launch on 20th Feb 2019

[MarkHUK]

Xiaomi will be releasing news of the Xiaomi Mi 9 on the 20th Feb 2019. The code name of the phone internally is 'Battle Angel' or Zhandou Tianshi '战斗天使'

Let us know what you expect specs wise? ;-)

Most interesting is that Xiaomi has seemingly chosen to directly attack Samsungs release of its S10 with the Mi9 on the same day 20/2.

Can the Mi9 be so good?

Or is there some other interpretation, from Chinese culture, of "Battle Angel"? Something other than than the biblical one, or Rilkes, that I have never heard of?

Should Samsung be truly afraid, or merely amused?

Japanese cyberpunk adventure.
The new target group for marketing Mi9 - cyborgs?

"On February 22nd, the exclusive mobile phone partner of the "Alita: Battle Angel""

Probably coincidence I think @cobben

Well, they claim:

"On February 22nd, the exclusive mobile phone partner of the "Alita: Battle Angel""

But it does seem to be a connection created on the spur of the moment, not planned out ahead.

What happens 22/2?
The film was released 14/2 as I recall.
14/2 in the US, 31/1 world premier in London.

"The film is set for release in Japan and China on February 22, 2019, after the Chinese New Year holidays."

I feel better wait for awhile and browse miui forum to check if there's any problem.. esp bootloader unlocking. Hopefully Xiaomi not prolong the wait time for unlocking..

 

[cobben]

If it has ARB enabled, as is likely, that alone is a deal killer for me personally.

Most interesting will be to see how the 3 camera system works in practice.

There is an article about how it is designed to work on the MIUI forum, real life reviews needed.

I hope they have fixed the Cell stand by problem!

392,95 Euro -> 432,26 -> 523,97

But I think in the first few month the prices will be almost the twice in Europe

 

[SebiC]

Already on Ali. Guys, the Chinese version comes with unlocked bootloader? 586.99 dollars with dhl

 

[ALexandre Leno]

It still very costly for me bacause my country has very shxt exchange rate

 

[Katya]

You're right.. only 3300 mAh... what a bummer

 

[z953rr]

Probably coincidence I think @cobben

Will it be the global device?


And can somebody tell anything about bootloader etc?

 

[Qidamin]

Same here, I am in China so I plan to buy it here, but wonder if they will let the bootloader to be unlocked, as the Chinese version and Global version don't have the same bands (not like Mi 8).
