Redmi 9 With Mediatek Helio G80 18W Fast Charging Goes Official

The Redmi 9 had leaked almost entirely over the past week. We not only saw a myriad of renders but also e-commerce listings for Xiaomi’s latest entry-level. Today, Xiaomi put all rumors to rest and officially launched the Redmi 9 in Spain. It comes equipped with the MediaTek Helio G80 chipset, quad-cameras, and 18W fast-charging.
