Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro specs

On the exterior, the Mi 9T Pro looks exactly the same as the Mi 9T. It still features a 6.39″ Full HD+ AMOLED display and has an in-display fingerprint sensor. There’s no punch-holes or notch at the top since the device comes with a 20MP pop-up selfie camera.

Under the hood, the device runs on a flagship Snapdragon 855 processor instead of an upper-mid-range Snapdragon 730 unit on the non-pro model. For Malaysia, it comes with 6GB RAM and UFS 2.1 storage options of 64GB or 128GB which isn’t expandable.

For taking pictures, the rear gets a triple-camera array which uses a 48MP f/1.75 Sony IMX 586 sensor that can shoot 4K videos in 60fps. There’s also a 13MP f/2.4 ultra-wide-angle camera and an 8MP telephoto shooter that can do 2X optical zoom.

The device also gets a 4,000mAh battery that can support 27W fast charging via USB-C, however, an 18W charger is included in the box. You also get a 3.5mm headphone jack, dual-frequency GPS and NFC support. Below is the full spec sheet from Xiaomi Malaysia:
