Tracker a phone Xiaomi Mi 9T
Overall, the Mi 9 is the best phone for video texture we have tested so far.
The camera not only manages to capture excellent video detail, it is also capable of keeping noise low across most illumination levels. Noise becomes more visible in low light, however, especially on moving subjects in the scene. Given that video footage in 4K resolution requires a lot more processing power for efficient stabilization than Full-HD video, the Xiaomi also performs impressively well for stabilization, achieving a score of 92 points.
Stabilization is slightly more efficient in bright outdoor light than under typical indoor lighting conditions, but works equally well when holding the camera still or when walking while recording. The Mi 9 is also our top device for video color, thanks to generally pleasant color rendering in all situations and no color shading. White balance transitions under changing light sources are fine as well, with only some slight stepping under indoor lighting. Target exposure is very good, even in low light, and transitions are smooth.
Dynamic range is somewhat limited, but the Mi 9 has that in common with most of its direct competitors and overall, only the Apple iPhone XS Max with its HDR video algorithm achieves better dynamic range in video mode. Artifacts are well-controlled overall, but we noticed some aliasing on diagonal lines and a slight judder effect when panning. There are also some dropped frames in all conditions, but our testers counted only about four dropped frames per minute of recording, so the effect will hardly be noticeable to the casual viewer.
The Xiaomi autofocus system worked well in video mode, too. It is good at tracking and is always responsive. The only situation in which we noticed a loss of focus was walking while recording under indoor lighting. With convincing results across the board and no major flaws, the Mi 9 is the third-best device so far for still imaging, edged out only by Huawei juggernauts Mate 20 Pro and P20 Pro. In video mode it does even better, finding itself at the very top of our ranking, making it the top choice for mobile video shooters. This is partly due to the Mi 9 being the first test device recording 4K video by default and therefore scoring very high for texture and detail, but it also puts in a very good performance in all other test categories.
Still, it might be considered a very useful tool by many, making the Xiaomi Mi 9 even easier to recommend to anyone who likes taking pictures and recording videos with their smartphone.

Xiaomi Mi 9, low-light detail, 20 lux. It runs Android 9. Here, app stability was an issue, especially with social networking apps, which tended to lock up and not grab a connection properly. Other examples of things not quite operating as you hope include the system-wide Dark Mode. It looks good, except when notifications slide down from the top of the screen, as text is turned black making it impossible to read.
Not very helpful when previewing emails without entering the Gmail app.
Naturally, there are many pre-installed apps that duplicate the Google apps, including a web browser, an email app, and a calendar. It has a cool moon phase design, and the time and notification icons are all clearly displayed. There is plenty of speed, and my experience using the phone was very similar to using the Pixel 3a.

The days of worrying about mid-range phone performance have long since disappeared. For a supposed mid-range phone, the Mi 9T has a fantastic camera on paper, which happily translates into some seriously good photos. This gives plenty of versatility, due to the wide-angle photos and optical 2x zoom, and the software includes a 48 megapixel mode, and a Night mode.
Photos are highly shareable, although some may consider the saturation level too high. Archived from the original on 13 April Retrieved 28 February Archived from the original on 24 April Archived from the original on 28 September The Verge.
