Earlier this year, Xiaomi had launched the Redmi Note 9 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max smartphones in the Indian market. In April, the company launched the Redmi Note 9 for the global market.
Now, the company has finally launched the Redmi Note 9 smartphone in the Indian market. However, the Indian variant is slightly different in terms of specifications when compared to the global variant.

It comes in three memory variants — 4 GB RAM with 64 GB and 128 GB internal storage, and 6 GB RAM with 128 GB internal storage. There’s also a microSD card slot that enables users to further expand storage capacity. The phone also has a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor for added protection.
As for the camera setup, the smartphone features a 48 MP primary camera, an 8 MP 120-degree ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2 MP macro sensor, and a 2 MP depth sensor. On the front side, the device has a 13 MP snapper for taking selfies and video calling.
The device runs the Android 10 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own MIUI 11 on top. The phone is powered by a 5020 mAh battery with support for 22.5W fast charging technology.
The Redmi Note 9 will be available in three colors — Aqua Green, Arctic White, and Pebble Grey. It goes on sale from 24th July through online as well as offline stores across India. As for the pricing, the 4 GB RAM model costs ₹11,999 while the 6 GB RAM model is priced at ₹14,999.
