If the current leak is anything to go by, Xiaomi's Mi 9, the successor to last year's Mi 8, could be the most-advanced Xiaomi flagship ever.

According to a Weibo post, the phone will sport a triple rear-camera with a 48MP sensor, an in-display fingerprint sensor, top-end Snapdragon 855 chipset, and support 35W fast charging support.

Here's a detailed look at Mi 9.
