Xiaomi has set up a dedicated microsite for Redmi 9 on itsown websiteandAmazon India. It does not talk about any of the specifications. We, however, learn the device has a waterdrop notch and not much else from the microsite. This budget phone hadmade its debutin Europe earlier last month, so yeah, we already know all of its specs:

Redmi 9 Specs and Features

Redmi 9 boasts the same circular camera design as the Redmi K30 (Poco X2 in India), with a vertical array on the rear. It packs a 13MP (f/2.2) primary camera, 8MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide camera with 118-degree FOV, 5MP macro camera, and 2MP depth sensor to round up the kitty. The physical fingerprint sensor is also present in this vertical array.

Redmi 9 features a6.53-inch Full-HD+ displaywith a 2340 x 1080 resolution and Gorilla Glass 3 protection on top. It is powered by the MediaTekHelio G80 chipset, which is also found aboard the Realme Narzo 10 in India. There’s up to 4GB of RAM and up to 64GB of storage onboard.

The smartphone comes equipped with a5,020mAh batterypack and a 10W charger in the box. It runs Android 10-based MIUI 11, which is a little disappointing now that MIUI 12 has been announced for a couple of months ago. You can read about all of the cool new features of MIUI 12right here.
