Xiaomi to bring back its Animoji-like Mimoji to its upcoming CC9-series of smartphones

Nowadays every smartphone maker worth their salt is copying **Apple's Animoji** stickers onto their own devices. Samsung did with the AR-emojis, and Asus has done it as well with ZenMoji. Xiaomi, which had already launched its own take on Memoji called as Mimoji on the Mi 8, is now bringing it to the **Xiaomi CC-series of smartphones** .
