On the back of the MI 9T has an eye-catching flame-like design, which has been created using a nano-holographic method which looks super cool. The front-facing selfie camera has been replaced by the latest motorised style popup camera as seen on OnePlus 7 pro and Oppo Reno.

Along with the in-display fingerprint sensor, this camera also supports face unlock thus making it convenient for the users who prefer facial recognition.

Despite being a mid-range product, the Xiomi MI 9t is powered by the Qualcomm 730 processor along with 6GB RAM and storage option of 64/128 GB. The phone also uses the optical in-display fingerprint sensor which uses optical light to sense the grooves on your fingers.
