Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 leaked specifications



The Redmi Note 9 is expected to feature a 6.53-inch display with a Full HD+ (2340 x 1080 pixels) resolution. There’s a punch-hole cutout on the front in the leaked pictures and it is topped by a layer of Gorilla Glass 5. The phone has a plastic build and it measures 8.9mm at its thickest point and weighs 198 grams.

It is powered by the yet unreleased MediaTek Helio G85 chipset that’s an incremental update over the G80. This could be paired with upto 4GB of RAM and upto 128GB storage options to choose from, however, we could also see more variants at the time of launch.

The phone comes with a quad-camera setup on the back that consists of a primary 48MP sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2MP macro camera and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, there’s a 13MP selfie camera housed within the punch-hole cutout.

Redmi Note 9 could come fitted with a 5,000mAh battery with support for 22.5W fast charging via USB Type-C.

As per earlier leaks, the Redmi Note 9 could be priced starting at CNY 1,400 in China which is roughly Rs 15,000 by direct conversion. Having said that, we have no word whether the company plans to bring the Redmi Note 9 to India. Currently, the Indian government has also prohibited e-commerce companies to deliver non-essential goods like mobile phones which is why many smartphone companies have refrained from launching new products in the country.
