While we’ve already seen the Redmi Note 9 and Note 9 Pro Max launch in India, the vanilla Redmi Note 9 hasn’t made an appearance just yet. It’s expected to be the most affordable phone in the series with a design similar to that of the Pro models. How do we know that? Well, the story goes something like this.
A Redmi phone was recently spotted in a listing on TENAA, China’s equivalent of the FCC. Its design was pretty much the same as the Redmi Note 9 Pro phones, leading us to believe that it’s the unreleased Redmi Note 9. However, a separate listing on China Telecom’s website named the phone as the Redmi 10X.
It’s quite possible that the Redmi Note 9 is the global name for the phone, while in China, the same phone is called the Redmi 10X. We hope to get more clarity on the issue once Xiaomi makes the official announcement on April 30.
Redmi Note 9 specs
According to the aforementioned TENAA listing, the Redmi Note 9 could feature a 6.53-inch FHD+ LCD display, a 2Ghz octa-core processor, up to 6GB of RAM, up to 128GB of expandable storage, and a 4,920mAh battery. Going by the listing on China Telecom’s website, the processor could be the MediaTek Helio G85, a possible incremental upgrade over the budget-focused Helio G80.
The China Telecom website also suggested that the Redmi 10X will be priced in China at 1,499 Chinese yuan or ~$211. This is about what we expect for the global pricing of the Redmi Note 9 as well.
That’s all we know for now about Xiaomi’s upcoming launch plans. We’ll update this article with more information if the company announces anything new.
