Merely a week after the launch of the Realme 6 series, its arch-nemesis Xiaomi has gone ahead and refreshed the Redmi Note lineup today. The Redmi Note 9 Pro has launched in India via an online-only event. The device arrives a successor to the Redmi Note 8 Pro. It boasts a new Snapdragon 700-series chipset, center punch-hole display, a square camera bump, and a massive battery.
Starting off with the design, Redmi Note 9 Pro carries forward its Aura design philosophy but simplifies things a bit with the Aura Balance design aboard this smartphone. You’ll get a minimal, shiny back panel with no extra jazz and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. There’s now a new rectangular setup that houses the square camera module and LED flash. The square camera bump is really huge and you will definitely see the device rocking on the table. There’s a physical fingerprint sensor that doubles as the power button on the side.
Redmi Note 9 Pro is the second smartphone to launch with the new Snapdragon 720G chipset in India. Its competitor Realme 6 Pro was the first one and if you are wondering how the Snapdragon 720G compares to the Snapdragon 730G, you can read all about it right here.
Redmi Note 9 Pro comes equipped with a massive 5,020mAh battery with an 18W fast-charger bundled in the box. The device includes a USB Type-C port, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a single bottom-firing speaker. It also supports 802.11/ac (Wi-Fi 5), Bluetooth 5.0, and NavIC out-of-the-box.
Redmi Note 9 Pro has been priced at Rs. 12,999 for the 4GB+64GB base variant and Rs. 15,999 for the 6GB+128GB variant. It will be available in three attractive color variants, namely Aurora Blue, Glacier White, and Interstellar Black.
