Xiaomi expands its popular Redmi Note lineup with the launch of the more affordable Redmi Note 9 in India today. It was first unveiled in Europe back in April. Redmi Note 9 is the first MediaTek Helio G85-powered phone to launch in the country. It includes a punch-hole selfie camera, 48MP quad-camera, and a massive battery onboard.
Redmi Note 9 boasts almost the same design as its elder siblings – the Redmi Note 9 Pro and Note 9 Pro Max. The back panel is obviously not glass. It’s a polycarbonate back panel. The major differentiators in terms of design here are the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and the punch-hole has been moved to the top left.
The smartphone sports a quad-camera array on the rear, helmed by a 48MP (f/1.79) primary camera. You also have an 8MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide camera with a 118-degree FOV, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor.
Redmi Note 9 has been priced starting at Rs. 11,999 for the 4GB+64GB variant. It will, however, see users shell out Rs. 13,499 for the 4GB+128GB variant and 14,999 for the higher-end 6GB+128GB variant in India.
