Redmi 9 With Helio G35 Soc 5 000Mah Battery Launched Starting At Rs 8 999

Xiaomi continues to expand the Redmi 9 series with the launch of yet another phone in the month of August. Launched in India today, the Redmi 9 follows suit to the Redmi 9 Prime that was unveiled earlier this month. Redmi 9 is a rebranded version of the Redmi 9C (made it global debut in June) but with a minor downgrade on the camera front.

The smartphone boasts the ‘Aura Edge’ design for a comfortable grip and a peppy new orange color that I quite like. You will also find a square camera setup and a capacitive fingerprint sensor on the rear and a waterdrop notch display on the front.

Under the hood, Redmi 9 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G35 chipset that’s also found aboard Realme’s entry-level C-series. You will also find 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of built-in storage, which is expandable up to 512GB via a microSD slot.

The 4GB+64GB base variant has been priced at Rs. 8,999 in India while the higher-end 4GB+128GB variant has been priced at Rs. 9,999. It will compete against the Realme C11 and C12 in the sub-Rs. 10,000 price bracket in India.
