 "Xiaomi teases Mi 9 with 48MP ultra-clear, 12MP telephoto, 16MP wide-angle sensor")
Xiaomi is scheduled to host an event in New Delhi on 28 February, to launch its Redmi Note 7-series smartphones in the Indian market. Simultaneously, Xiaomi is also teasing its flagship phone for the year — the **Mi 9** — that will officially be unveiled at the **Mobile World Congress 2019** in Barcelona. While it is unlikely that we see the phone launch in India this month, Xiaomi is incessantly leaking some specifications of the phone, and we can’t hold back from sharing them with you.

Per the tweets, the Xiaomi Mi 9 will sport an in-display fingerprint sensor, with a 40 percent thinner chin compared to last year’s Mi 8.

Xiaomi has also teased the camera sensors on the upcoming smartphone. The Mi 9 will sport a triple camera sensor at the back, which will be a combination of a 48 MP sensor, 16 MP wide-angle camera, and a 12 MP telephoto sensor.

Further, all the lenses at the back of the camera will apparently be protected by a Sapphire glass to keep it from getting scratched.
