Xiaomi appears to be gearing up to release one more Mi 9 series phone and it may be called the Xiaomi Mi 9T. At this stage, what is available is only a teaser image posted on the company’s official social media pages. The other models in this series include the Mi 9, Mi 9 SE and Mi 9 Transparent Edition.
These models are sold in China for the last 3-4 months. The highlight of this new phone from the images teased by the company is the absence of the notch on the front screen indicating that there could be a popup camera in the front. What is seen is just the earpiece in the front. The teaser from the company also shows a triple camera on the rear.
There is speculation going on what the suffix T stands for. Some feel it could be Turbo but that can be confirmed only when the phone is out and its performance assessed. Others feel it could be because the phone may sport an ultra-thin body and that marks the letter T.
The other details on the specifications and features this Xiaomi Mi9 T may come with are also only a matter for speculation only now. In particular, what are those areas where it will be different from the other 3 9 series models will also be keenly watched. At this stage the only factor that can be confirmed is that the other phones do have a notch on the display. None of them have a popup camera either.
There is one report that suggests the Chinese major may launch a couple of its models, the Redmi K20 and the Redmi K20 Pro could actually be launched in the overseas markets as the Mi 9T and the Mi 9T Pro. But that is also not a confirmed development.
Wait till more information emerges on this new smartphone the Xiaomi Mi 9T.
