Many people jokingly call Xiaomi CC9e the “youth version” of CC9. In fact, this statement is not accurate. CC9e is a selective downconfiguration, erasing some features on the basis of ensuring the user experience, making the price lower, more suitable for young users, and more competitive in similar products. WhatCC9e brings is the comfort that can be mastered in one hand, and it is inexplicably attractive to small-hand users and female users, which means that there are not a few people who follow it.

So, how is the performance of Xiaomi CC9e? Let”s have a chat today.

Excellent hands-feel and stylish look

In recent years, the size of mobile phones is getting larger and larger, which makes many users who like small screen mobile phones at a loss as to what to do and can only go with the trend. In order to meet the needs of this kind of users, Xiaomi CC9e arises at the historic moment. With a 6.088-inch screen, it is more suitable for one-handed operation. And under the premise that the weight and thickness have been reduced, it is still equipped with a large 4030mAh battery, which is enough to see the sincerity of Xiaomi.

In terms of appearance, it is almost no different from Xiaomi CC9. The 3D full-curved glass body combined with nano-holographic technology brings an excellent sense of grip. There are still three colors, the White Lover, the Deep Blue Planet and the Prince of the Dark Night.

This time, we got the color match of Deep Blue Planet, which is also my favorite color match. When turning the phone gently in the light, several faint white S-shaped textures are mapped on the blue of the illusory color, and several S-lines converge into one when you turn to a particular angle, which is particularly conspicuous.

In order to make the phone have a better selfie experience, Xiaomi CC9e uses a water drip screen design. With the addition of sunlight screen and color information screen display function, Xiaomi CC9e has a good performance in the image effect, especially outdoors, it is easy to see the font, and the new smooth transition effect makes it more readable when starting highlight mode.

In addition, Xiaomi CC9e uses the same seventh-generation photosensitive screen fingerprint unlocking scheme as Xiaomi CC9, which supports gradual fingerprint light and screen fingerprint shortcuts. The Xiaomi CC9e is also the most cost-effective screen fingerprint phone on the market.

Snapdragon 665 chip and performance

For many rice noodles, the word launch has become commonplace. This time, Xiaomi CC9e launched a new generation of Snapdragon 665 mobile platform. Compared with the widely used Snapdragon 660, Snapdragon 665 uses more advanced Samsung 11nm LPP technology, GPU supports Vulkan 1.1 API, power consumption performance better; at the same time, Snapdragon 665 has built-in third-generation AIE artificial intelligence engine, which greatly improves AI performance, up to twice that of Snapdragon 660.

In addition, Snapdragon 665 also supports Qualcomm TWS Plus true wireless technology, compared with Snapdragon 660 can better support the recent market popular true wireless Bluetooth headset, making the true wireless headset audio delay is lower, battery life longer.

In terms of game experience, Xiaomi CC9e performance is impressive, “Honor of Kings” in the highest picture quality, and use high frame rate mode, Xiaomi CC9e game to maintain more than 55 frames. In Game for Peace, whether in the wild, underwater or indoor, the fluency is very good, the details of the game picture remain intact and not distorted, the texture of vegetation is relatively clear, and there is no picture distortion.

Like Xiaomi’s CC9, the CC9e is equipped with Game Turbo 2.0 game acceleration, with a large 4030mAh battery that provides a strong guarantee of battery life, which is unusual even in a flagship machine.

It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi CC9e has the most cutting-edge audio subsystem design of Xiaomi mobile phones, and its external loudness and low-frequency performance are at the first-class level. But also retain the 3.5mm headphone port, and equipped with Mi Sound self-developed ear playback effect. Let users have a better experience when using two karaoke apps, namely, headset singing bar and national singing bar, on Xiaomi CC9e.

48MP triple rear cameras and camera samples

Like the CC9, Xiaomi CC9e also has a front 32 million ultra-clear selfie + rear 48 million ultra-wide-angle triple “double C-bit” camera combination to support true beauty, gesture selfie, large wide-angle panoramic photo mode, Mimoji cute shooting, intelligent ultra-wide-angle, hand-held super night view and other functions.

Needless to say, let’s directly send a sample sheet

In the case of sufficient light, Xiaomi CC9e can restore visible to the naked eye, the sample picture is transparent and the color is pleasing to the eyeball, whether it is the sky or architectural details, can be accurately expressed.

At night, the overall brightness of the Xiaomi CC9e imaging picture is good, the noise is properly controlled, and the details are relatively clear. The degree of light and shade is balanced, and the picture is bright and clean, which brings a good visual perception.

The details on the edge of the subject of Xiaomi CC9e’s selfie are flawless. The three-dimensional sense of the character is very strong, even without makeup, it is also very good. Compared with the traditional software matting algorithm, it is undoubtedly more powerful, and the messy hair is also clearly visible.

Xiaomi CC9e also supports Mimoji cute shooting function, which can create a cartoon version of you in real time, open the cute shot and imitate your every move in real time. It can not only make cartoon selfies, but also make creative short videos based on hundreds of creative materials.

Conclusion

In today’s big screen mobile phone accounts for “half of the country”, Xiaomi CC9e is undoubtedly an “alternative”, but this does not hinder its popularity, after all, 173.8g weight and the convenience of one-handed operation are popular, especially for girls and users with small hands.

In addition to the excellent feel of the small screen, the Xiaomi CC9e is also a comprehensive and cost-effective product at the moment. Its exquisite appearance and sufficient performance are its advantages, as well as the camera combination of front 32 million + rear main camera 48 million pixels, which makes it difficult to find a competitor in similar products.
