In recent times, Xiaomi has often rebadged Redmi smartphones as POCO phones in other markets. The reverse seems to be the case for the POCO M3 which has been tipped to launch as Redmi 9T in some markets. A YouTuber has now shared a video of the Redmi 9T confirming the device will be a rebranded POCO M3. The video even features the M3 handled side by side with the Redmi 9T.
The YouTube video posted by Mobile Tech Podcast has been pulled off but you can still check it out from below. The Redmi 9T is shown to have a key difference from the Poco M3 which is the rear camera configuration. While the Poco M3 packs three rear cameras, the 9T features four camera setup. The fourth lens is an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens in addition to the 48MP primary wide-angle lens, 2MP depth sensor, and 2MP macro lens.
The display and other configurations are likely the same. This includes a 6.53-inch Full HD+ IPS display with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. There is a waterdrop-style notch on the screen that houses an 8MP selfie camera. The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of expandable storage. The device will also pack a large 6,000mAh battery.
There is no word yet as to when the device will be launched but the device was recently certified in Thailand. Also, Xiaomi Malaysia recently instituted a contest that ends on the 7th of January 2021 that will see 10 lucky fans head home with a unit of a device suspected to be the Redmi 9T. Thus, we believe the device will be launched pretty soon.
