The Xiaomi Mi 9 family here in Malaysia grows even bigger, with the addition of the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite. It truly lives up to its name, with all the features you love on the Xiaomi Mi 9, but distilled down to fit into a more affordable price bracket.

There’s a 48MP f/1.79 camera on the back, a common feature through out the Mi 9 family, as well as a 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 2MP depth sensor. You don’t get a telephoto camera here, but that’s okay. There’s a 20MP f/2.0 selfie camera up front, housed in the small notch above the 6.39″ AMOLED display.

Under the hood is a Snapdragon 710, which fits its position under the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE. It does feature a much larger battery though, measuring in at 4030 mAh. Also, there’s support for expandable microSD storage, which is something the rest of the Mi 9 family lacks.

You get a headphone jack and IR blaster too, giving the Mi 9 Lite quite an impressive feature set. The Mi 9 SE lacks a headphone jack, and the Mi 9T doesn’t sport an IR blaster.

What do you think? Does the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite have a place in the crowded mid-range segment, or would you pick the pre-existing member of the Mi 9 family over it?

Pokdepinion: I would probably still pick the Mi 9T over this…
