Soon after the Asus 6Z launch, Xiaomi also teased a smartphone of its own running on a similar technology, a flipping camera. The Asus smartphone has been trending since the launch in May, and has been applauded by many for the unique approach to offer a full-screen display.
Now after Asus, it’s Xiaomi who is all set to launch its own flipping camera smartphone.
Xiaomi is known to take up challenging technologies, and then offer them at a very budget pricing. From notches to pop-up cameras to punch-hole displays, the company has been able to adapt a top-end tech for an affordable offering.
The same is about to happen again, and Xiaomi is set to bring in their own flipping camera smartphone.

The teaser poster has a similar camera technology as the just-released Asus 6Z with flip cameras.
The new Mi CC9 series is a collaboration of Xiaomi and hardware division of Meitu, a recently acquired entity of the company. Even the leaked pictures have a Meitu brand logo at the back instead of Xiaomi. For those who are confused, it’s a Xiaomi-owned division now, previously under Meitu.
Coming to Mi CC9, the smartphone is rumoured to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 730, the same chip powering the newly launy Redmi K20.
Mi CC9 will have a standard water drop notch display, in-display fingerprint sensor and 4,000mAh battery with fast charging support. The Mi CC9e would use the new flipping camera technology running on the same chip, with a rear fingerprint sensor and a 4,000mAh battery
