Besides these renders, the Xiaomi exec also share a real-life image of the device as well as a new official poster (above) that shows Xiaomi’s brand ambassador holding the Xiaomi Mi 9.
The renders are in sky blue, and according to the exec, the device will show off different colors of a rainbow depending on the angle and color of light that hits it. This the exec said was achieved using a nano-scale laser holography process with a double-layer coating for the finishing.
W have no official renders showcasing the front view, but a close look at these renders confirms the tripler-rear camera setup with no fingerprint sensor which makes us believe the device will be using the trendy option – the in-display fingerprint sensor.
