Is Samsung is better than Xiaomi?

While Xiaomi only offers three years of major Android updates and four years of security updates, Samsung pips it ahead with four major Android updates and five years of security updates. As you can see: Xiaomi and Samsung hardly have anything to separate between themselves in the flagship market.

Is MI 9 a flagship?

First off, hardware wise, the Mi9 is very much a flagship device in terms of its components. It's powered by the Snapdragon 855 like many other flagships this year, representing an excellent base platform for the phone to build on.

Will there be a mi 9?

The Xiaomi Mi 9 delivers a Snapdragon 855, triple camera, 6.39-inch AMOLED display, and an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Which is better MI 9 or MI 9T?

The Mi 9T Pro has a larger battery and headphone jack, while the Mi 9 has wireless charging and two slightly better cameras. If you appreciate a longer battery life more, but don't need the fastest performance, you'd better go for the normal Mi 9T. You'll even save some money.
