Xiaomi was the biggest smartphone manufacturer of 2017 – released high-end and completely baked smartphones at unmatched rates. More than 30 days old (if you are in China) Xiaomi Mi 9 is no exception. The availability of Xiaomi Mi 9 in Australia and nearest countries, isn’t confirmed but Xiaomi has decided to capture a vast part of the smartphone markets outside China with its all-new Mi 9.

The company has received significant recognition and enormous response throughout the globe in its Mi Series. There are rumours that the smartphone soon hit the markets with millions already eagerly waiting to bag their share of luxury. Although Xiaomi hasn’t yet confirmed the rumours officially – here on this page, we are covering up the most of the things that many other sources have discussed earlier.

Xiaomi Mi 9 Release Date

There are no details about Xiaomi Mi 9 release date in Australia but based on rumours and online reports, Aussies should expect that beast to be landed on stores before the 2nd quarter of 2019 ends. The handset is already on shelves all over China and will also land in the United Kingdom soon. The US audience will get it or not? it’s not confirmed!

Xiaomi Mi 9 Price

Very much like its official release date, Xiaomi Mi 9 Price in Australia is yet to be announced as well. The handset, however, is priced Euros 450 for 6GB/64GB variant whereas 8GB/128GB variant goes for 500 Euros in many European countries.
