UPDATE (13/07) – Redmi Note 9 is launching in India on July 20th


In March this year, Redmi launched the Note 9 Pro & Note 9 Pro Max in India & while we didn’t get the non-Pro “Redmi Note 9” that time, it is coming soon to the Indian market as announced by the company today.

Redmi Note 9 Launch in India Teased

It is worth mentioning that Note 9 launched alongside the Note 9 Pro globally in April. So we are pretty sure the specs are going to be the same as the global variant.

The design of Note 9 is slightly different than the Note 9 Pro & Note 9 Pro Max. First, it has a punch-hole cutout on the top left of the display & not in the center. Second, the fingerprint scanner is not on the side but on the rear. The camera setup design remains the same, however. Finally, the material on the back is plastic and not glass.

Redmi Note 9 has a 6.53-inch Full-HD+ IPS LCD panel with Gorilla Glass 5 & features the MediaTek Helio G85 chipset. The Helio G85 chipset scores over 200K on AnTuTu Benchmark so compared to the Snapdragon 665 or Redmi Note 8, there is a 21% performance boost.

The Quad camera array on the rear includes a primary 48 Megapixel shooter (Samsung GM1), a secondary 8 Megapixel ultrawide camera, a 2 Megapixel macro and a 2 Megapixel depth sensor. On the front is a 13 Megapixel camera for selfies.

Finally, the Redmi Note 9 has a 5,020mAh battery & supports 18W Fast Charging.

Well, there is no information regarding the pricing yet but considering the Note 9 Pro starts at Rs 13,999 in India, the price of Note 9 is expected to start at around Rs 11-12K.
