Xiaomi is scheduled to host an event in New Delhi on 28 February, to launch its Redmi Note 7-series smartphones in the Indian market. Simultaneously, Xiaomi is also teasing its flagship phone for the year — the Mi 9 — that will officially be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress 2019 in Barcelona. While it is unlikely that we see the phone launch in India this month, Xiaomi is incessantly leaking some specifications of the phone, and we can't hold back from sharing them with you.[caption id="attachment_6097861" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Xiaomi Mi 9.[/caption]On its official Twitter page, Xiaomi has teased the design, camera, and colour variants of the phone.
