Android 11 is currently under beta testing and smartphone manufacturers have already started pushing out the beta updates for their devices such as OnePlus for the OnePlus 8 and the 8 Pro, Xiaomi for the Redmi K30 Pro, the POCO F2 Pro and more. Now, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer has started to roll out a beta update for the Mi Note 10 in China, but since the Mi Note 10 has been rebranded as the Mi CC9 Pro in other countries, one can sideload the beta on the smartphone as well. Here’s everything about the Mi CC9 Pro Android 11 Beta 3:
Additionally, thanks to the folks over XDADevelopers, we do have a download link for the beta update file, in case one of you wants to install the beta and check it out manually. Do note that, this is a Chinese ROM and you’ll not be bundled with any kind of Google services and nothing but Chinese applications on your smartphone. Mi CC9 Pro users can use TWRP or any other custom recovery to flash the ROM as the in-built MIUI updater is not capable of doing the same.

It supports the Snapdragon Elite Gaming function and the GPU frequency is higher than Snapdragon 730. This smartphone comes with 6GB/8GB of RAM and 128GB/256GB of internal storage.
To keep its lights on is a 5260 mAh battery which supports 30W fast charge.

Although the power does not seem to be large, it can fully charge in 65 minutes.
CAMERA
This smartphone will come with Penta-rear camera setup, while a 32MP selfie shooter sits within the water-drop notch upfront. Speaking of the rear cameras, the Xiaomi CC9 Pro is well on the way to be the first smartphone with a primary 108MP ISOCELL HMX CMOS sensor.
It is the world’s first large-size dynamic image sensor with a 1/1.33 inch photosensitive area, which can be used in low light conditions. It captures more light than other small sensors.

The other four cameras include a 12MP portrait sensor with 10x optical zoom, a 5MP sensor with 50x digital zoom, a 20MP super wide-angle lens, and a 2MP 1.5cm super macro lens. According to Xiaomi, the two optical anti-shake systems ensure that the telephoto lens is stable, and the second is to shoot a better super night image.
