Xiaomi has released what to be one of his great phones for the second half of 2019. The new Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G repeats the essence and design of the brand's flagship, but it is renewed in almost all sections to try to be at the height of its competition. Better screen, much more battery, fast charging and 5G connectivity.
The company has accustomed us to present a large number of different devices every little time, but it is today when it has unveiled one of its most complete and important smartphones of the year with the Mi Mix Alpha. Let's see what it has to offer the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G, a major renovation to raise the category of the Mi 9 series.

A well-known design that seeks to improve connectivity and performance
The Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G has, as the name implies, 5G connectivity. It is the second terminal of the brand to adopt it after the Mi Mix 3 5G. In this case, the crystal design maintains the lines we saw with the Mi 9 but a 7 antenna system to try to maintain coverage regardless of how we hold the mobile. As for the speed, we are promised up to 2.02 Gbps down and 1.78 up.
For the screen you bet on a AMOLED 6.39 inch panel with FullHD + resolution, 600 nits thermal brightness and protected by the Gorilla Glass 6 glass. A screen where we also find the integrated fingerprint reader.
Inside we find the first significant change. Xiaomi has always opted to stand out in specifications and the Mi 9 Pro 5G does not fall short. We have the processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. A generous amount to be reserved for the most expensive models, as we will also have 8GB versions of RAM and 128GB and 256GB storage.
To accompany this performance, we bet on a L-shaped steam chamber cooling system which, according to Xiaomi data, is able to reduce the temperature of the Mi 9 Pro 5G by 10.2 compared to that of the Mi 9. At the level of connectivity we have WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, NFC and USB Type-C port to the charge.
Releasing the new Mi Charge Turbo system
The battery is another of the renewed sections. The Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G adds 4,000 mAh, but where it stands out is the incorporation of the new Mi Charge Turbo system that they presented a few weeks ago, with fast load of 40W and a wireless load of 30W. According to the brand data, it is capable of reaching 20% in 5 minutes and 100% in 48 minutes. While for wireless charging they promise to complete 50% in 25 minutes and 100% in 69 minutes.
Data to be checked in the analysis, but they are certainly promising especially considering that the charger included in the box is a 45W Power Delivery. Additionally, the Mi 9 Pro 5G is used to reverse charge with which to fill the battery of other devices. Having in this case a load power of 10W.
The photographic section has not undergone major changes. We have a triple camera system with a 48 megapixel IMX 586 main sensor and an opening f / 1.75. Accompanying it is committed to a 16 megapixel sensor for a wide angle of 117 and finally a 12 megapixel telephoto, f / 2.2 aperture and 6-axis stabilization. Xiaomi has explained that the image processing has improved, but the configuration is equivalent to what we had with the Mi 9.
As for the software, the Mi 9 Pro 5G releases the new version of its customization layer: MIUI 11 which has stylized some mens but maintains the essence and appearance of what we have to date in Xiaomi.
