Xiaomi continues to expand its budget portfolio with the launch of the ‘Redmi 9i‘ in India. It is essentially a rebranded version of the Redmi 9A with more RAM and built-in storage. Redmi 9i joins the ranks of Xiaomi’s recently launched phones, including Redmi 9, Redmi 9 Prime, and Redmi 9A phones in the country. It is powered by the Mediatek Helio G25 SoC, a massive battery, and a single rear camera.
The 4GB+64GB base variant has been priced at Rs. 8,299 whereas the higher-end 4GB+128GB variant will retail at Rs. 9,299 in India. It will be available to buy in three colorways, namely Midnight Black, Sea Blue, and Nature Green.
Redmi 9i features the exact same design as the Redmi 9A, with a waterdrop notch on the front and a vertical array on the rear. It sports a 6.53-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and 1600 x 720-pixel resolution. The waterdrop notch at the top is housing a 5MP selfie camera.
