welcome everyone I'm Ricky from Tech Talk and today we're taking a look at
the Xiaomi mi9 so looking at the front here got a nice shiny design you've got
a me logo at the top got number nine there on the side you do have the me
nine as well it's a global version going around to the back we do have a bit more
information here so this version is a single sim model it has a 48 megapixel
Sony sensor that IMX sensor from Sony that everyone is using now so 48
megapixel high resolution camera in a triple rear camera setup that also
offers an ultra wide camera lens you have the qualcomm snapdragon 855
processor which is seven nanometers in size and that's got an enhanced AI
capability so you can use AI throughout your device in multiple different areas
and applications you've got leading 20 watt wireless charging not 20 watt fast
charging via cable wireless charging one other key highlights that I want to
point out here being vision aids is it to write lines certifications this means
eye comfort control is a key necessity they also offer a safe fast charging
system so it's not gonna overload it's getting charged correctly but it's going
to charge fast also they have improved the in screen fingerprint sensor though
your fingerprint is going to be registered on the display finally our
displays are six point three nine inch Super AMOLED panel so I'm looking
forward to delving into content and seeing how well it works with all of our
social media our photos and enjoying from day to day basis so coming back
around to the front end let's just pull the lid off first and we get see our
phone no II don't you have some packaging first inside here to start off
with you will find your sim tool and you will find an adapter to use your
headphones that has the 3.5 milk on there as it's not on the device
paperwork flies you'll get user guide here that you can go through and squint
your eyes to look at and gives you information about your device safety and
warranty information as mine is a PR model I've received a silicon case it
over to protect my device potentially you may not receive this though so
please be warned underneath that you will find your handsets so your me night
underneath that you will find a UK three-pin plug
pop-up foe pin so it's USB a and it's going to be two
USBC here's to be careful that third pin so this will offer 27 watts of charging
through the plug and the cable and like I said before 20 watts of wireless
charging so here is your cable you have a USB a two USB C for syncing in
charging the setting that aside let's take a look at our device pairing it on
down the right-hand side you've got your power you've got your volume controls at
the top here it looks very nice so we have a piano black color here and they
do offer so many different variants in color as you can see you can see the
triple camera setup and we're going to go through that more detail when the
phone is actually set up taking a look at the bottom quickly you're going to
find your speaker USB C and also microphones down here so this device
uses me UI 10 and Android 9 combined together one thing I want to point out
here there is no accessibility settings option which is a shame most
manufacturers now do off rates coming in we've got shoes of language we've got
English United Kingdom so we're gonna just select this one here our country
United Kingdom then we're gonna choose a Wi-Fi network or you could just get past
this one because we've already got a SIM card in here in terms of conditions you
need to agree to this to use the device it's going to check for any software
updates or app updates and backgrounds so we can copy apps and data from a
previous device so now it's going to ask you to sign into your Google account if
you don't have one you can then create one here you'll need this to use all the
Google's services and applications that they have on these devices and then also
you will need it to buy your apps games movies TV shows books music whatever you
want from the Google Play Store then you move into the actual Google services
itself which ones you want to use the backup on I always turn off because I
just have so many devices on the channel so then access your voice assistant with
voice match I'm gonna say ok and it should pull this off the system then it
comes to anything else so you can add another email accounts change the font
size which is a little bit too late because we've already gone through the
setup which is a little bit disappointing change your wallpaper and
then review additional app so if we're going to font size here then you get
some options like magnification font size display size selectors be talkback
I wish this was all at the beginning of the device setup not now when we're
finished which is a bit of a shame but it's ok can be tweaked and Madhi
by Xiaomi and by Google so the me cloud we can sign in with a mean cloud if you
have that option then it's going to ask you to sign in with your Mii accounts
again I'm just going to skip for the process of the video so moving on to
security so you can set a fingerprint sensor here and like I said it has an
improved fingerprint sensor build it you will need to add a secondary option for
security options so I'm going to choose pin it shows you here where you need to
place your finger on the in screen fingerprint sensor place your finger on
once you feel a vibration just lift off and as you can see I'm filling in the
fingerprint at the top of our device so inside here you have location the agree
to location you have user experience program so you get better user
experience options here send diagnostic data update automatically the only one
I've turned off is personalized adverts I don't want it tracking what I'm
potentially looking at here then finally we can choose the theme this is quite a
nice option that I've never seen before so you've got defaults you've got space
war or you've got classic so we're gonna go with default here and then setup is
complete and there we go we're into our home screen and I shall Mimi 9 is all
set up and ready to go and what we're gonna do is go through some of the
features and talk about the key specs of this device and see how it works
depending on what your usage is what you want from this device now our Mimi 9
devices all set up and ready to go let's have a little bit of an exploration so
coming over to the far left a little bit different than what you see on other
devices here it has its own services that's because it uses a mixes Android 9
and me UI 10 so it has two different options that can sort of twist and
change and you will find slight differences here pulling down from the
top again you'll notice this is very different compared to what you're used
to on other devices but I like it a big bold or brightness by is better than
something so small bringing all the way down you've got your widgets as normal
and it depends what you want to use but I like this set up a bigger time on the
top here you got your battery percentage your phone sort of signal and ideas and
you've got your notifications as normal down here at the bottom you can dismiss
change and adjust depending on what you want to do do you have your home button
you have competitive touch buttons on here you've got your menu button here
again this looks very different to what you're used to but it's
something different it's nice to see something different all the time instead
of something always the same I like a bit of difference and it's nice on the
channel considering I look at so many devices it is better to have something
different like I pointed out to you there was a button here down on the left
hand side if you press this is your Google assistant and you can talk to
your Google system so we're going to go through the specs a bit more now and go
through key details of this device so it was released March 2019 so few months
ago I'm really pleased we've got up on the channel to take a look at now
weight-wise without the case it's gonna weigh a hundred and seventy three grams
thickness without a case is seven point six millimeters thick so it's not very
thick at all it's a very thin device here so let's talk about the storage and
the CPU and the power and performance inside your device storage options what
are they so you either have a 64 gigabyte option or 128 gigabyte option
there is six gigabytes of RAM inside here so there's enough power punch to
actually work through everything you need to know the back glass is Corning
Gorilla Glass five and the front is actually using Corning Gorilla Glass six
you're gonna get loads of protection for them ask them or knocks bumps spills
drops and then the frame itself is made up from aluminium so moving on to the
display like I said it's a six point three nine inch and as always corner to
corner and it's a Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 by twenty
three forty it's gonna give you a pixel density of 403 it's gonna have a 90
percent screen to body ratio so you're gonna see loads of screen and the actual
display itself is a DCI p3 and HDR 10 so your content it's going to look rich
really inviting you want to watch as much content on here as possible then
coming into the actual engine room you have the qualcomm snapdragon 855
processor which is the latest generation of high-end processors on majority of
devices now that we're seeing from major manufacturers that's an octa-core
processor the GPU which is your graphics performance inside this device is thanks
to and there are new 640 which again is the latest graphics that we are seeing
on majority of flagship devices for 2019 then we come around to the fun bit and
that's the cameras we have seen so many different cameras this year multiple
different two threes fours that's how many on that
Nakia device I think it was nine it's unbelievable the amount of cameras so
what you get on these yummy mean nine so first of all is the 48 megapixel IMX
Sony sensor which is one of the best at the moment that's an F 1.8 aperture wide
and that's a half inch sensor offers laser and phase detection autofocus then
you have a 12 megapixel f/2 point to telephoto lens which offers the laser
phase detection autofocus and two times optical zoom so you can zoom in and see
everything you need then finally you have a 16 megapixel F 2.2 ultra wide
matt has that laser phase detection autofocus three great cameras looking
forward to taking it on a road test seeing how well they work so underneath
the camera here you're gonna get a dual LED flash so a video recording options
from the rear is 4k at 30 frames or 60 frames per second so it's very
impressive to see that 60 frames per second option 1080p at 30 120 240 frames
per second then also there is another option here for 1080p at 960 frames per
second so super slo-mo we're gonna see how well that looks and see what we can
do with that turn around to the front facing camera and as I said here is
there like a dewdrop knotch design and that's really nice to have on here cuz
you get more screen more body instead of a big notch or a cutout so the
front-facing camera is 20 megapixels in size F 2.0 and the video option from the
front-facing camera is 1080p at 30 frames per second so again you can take
video on this device and share it with whoever you want so to run all this
engine remelt graphics the cameras and everything I spoke about and also the
software you need quite a large battery to come into battery wise we've got a
three thousand three hundred million our battery which is really helpful but the
other great thing is that we can fast charge this so house quick charge for
plus and that offers 27 watts charging so you're gonna really charge
out your battery really quick that's through a cable but also you have a fast
charging option via Wireless so with a compatible wireless charging mat you can
get up to 20 watts of wireless charging and that is super fast and we do have
one so I'm going to dig that out and show how well and how quick that
actually works they are all the key specs in the details about the phone
what we're going to do is explore the phone more
in the next couple of weeks and actually explore it more and then I can come
along with key features and what I like what needs improving what didn't take my
fancy and how well it worked in general from day to day use so we are using the
Vodafone Network and a massive thank you does go out to the Vodafone Network for
supplying this device on a channel and actually know we have a whole range of
different devices on the channel currently so we could have quite a big
comparison and we might do that so if you do have any questions or queries
drop a comment down below if you'd like to see a certain video on all the
devices that I have please let me know I'll be more than happy to help thanks
