Mi CC9e and Mi CC9 Meitu expected specs

As mentioned, the Mi CC9e was spotted on TENAA website. Apart from showing a phone with a waterdrop notch and a triple camera system on the back, the listing did not reveal any information. Speculation is rife that the phone will sport a 6.39-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel, and will come equipped with an in-display fingerprint sensor. The waterdrop notch is said to house a 32MP sensor, while the rear camera setup is expected to feature a 48MP main shooter alongside wide and telephoto sensors. The Mi CC9e might feature the Snapdragon 712 SoC and might house a 4,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging support.

Meanwhile, the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Meitu could sport a motorized flip camera the likes of which we've recently seen on the Asus 6z. Reportedly, the module will pack a 48MP main camera, in addition to an ultrawide and a telephoto unit. The phone with a code-name “Little Fairy” is expected to use a Snapdragon 730 SoC under the hood. The image making rounds on the internet shows a phone with a white finish and pink accents apparently to target the women customers.
