Xiaomi confirmed earlier today that the Mi CC9 Pro is launching on November 5. The phone will be packed with camera-centric features, including a Penta-camera setup featuring a 108MP sensor. This would make CC9 Pro the second smartphone in the world to feature this 108MP sensor and likely the first one to get a wide-scale commercial release.
Samsung developed the 108MP sensor in partnership with Xiaomi. So it’s not surprising to see that the first set of products to feature this high-resolution sensor will be from Xiaomi. We saw how 48MP and 64MP increased the amount of details in a picture, but 108MP will take things to a whole new level. In order to give us a glimpse of its capability, Xiaomi has revealed a camera sample from the device.

Well, it’s not exactly a full sized sample, but Xiaomi reportedly cropped a small chunk of the original sample (0.8% of the actual image) and showed us that the photo still retains an incredible amount of details. The company said that it took a portrait image and cropped out just 0.8% of the image to focus on the eye that you see below. What’s interesting is that not only the details of the eye are clear and focused, but we can also clearly see the reflection in the eye. We can make out the windows as well as the shadow of the person taking the image.
Unfortunately, Xiaomi didn’t release the full-sized sample. So, we can’t check this out for ourselves. However, the penta-camera setup at the back should offer some incredible shooting options to the user. From the teaser image of the CC9 Pro, we can see that there are three main sensors along with two other supporting sensors. The setup is confirmed to support 5X optical zoom with two dual-tone flash modules. We can expect the phone to feature a powerful wide-angle lens, telephoto lens, macro-lens, and probably an additional 3D depth sensor.
The Mi CC9 Pro launches on November 5, so expect more details in the coming days.
