The Chinese brand Xiaomi has really taken smartphone photography to another level with flagship Mi 9’s 48-megapixel sensor with an f/1.75 aperture, a 16-megapixel wide-angle shooter, and a 12-megapixel telephoto with 2x zoom. Even though there are a lot many things to applause about the new Mi 9 like the Snapdragon 855 SoC, fastest wireless charging functionality, in-display fingerprint scanner the one thing the Xiaomi Mi 9 smartphone distinguishes itself with is the stunning new piece of hardware that’s the triple camera setup.
The latest flagship from Xiaomi scores a massive 107 points on the DxOMark, that is just two points behind the first recently launched P20 Pro and Mate 20 Pro which comes with triple camera setup just like Mi 9. Both the Mate 20 Pro and P20 Pro have 109 points on DXOMark’s test. The Xiaomi Mi 9 not only outranked the Google Pixel 3 but also iPhone XS Max and Google Pixel 2 in terms of the performance of Xiaomi’s camera under various lighting conditions. Mi 9’s Photo score of 112 points in DXOMark test is excellent, thanks to the camera’s ability to capture high-quality still images in almost all situations.
The Mi 9 scored video score of 99, the highest so far in video recording. The 4K video capture is best and paired with impressive image stabilization.
To recall, last year’s Xiaomi Mi 8 camera scored 99 overall on DXOMark, surpassing the iPhone X and Google Pixel 2. Another phone from Xiaomi launched October last year Mi MIX 3 had achieved an overall rating of 103 on DxOMark’s tests.
Even though the DxOMark result is not enough to judge end-all of camera quality, if you’re a person who lives and dies by these types of tests, and you must have the best camera phone, then the new Xiaomi Mi 9 is the smartphone for you.
