Xiaomi is all set to officially launch the much-touted Mi 9T model on June 12. Even before the device was confirmed to released soon, it has already been listed in some countries like Russia, Bulgaria etc. The Philippines has become the latest country where the Mi 9T has gone on sale on a number of retail platforms.
The Xiaomi Mi 9T is hitting the Philippines with a price tag of PHP19,500 (~$377) for the 6GB+64GB variant. The 6GB+128GB variant is on offer for PHP20,500 (~$396). However, the models are sold via grey-market resellers and not by official stores or authorized dealers. So intending buyers may want to exercise caution on this one.

As you already know by now, the Mi 9T has the same design as the Redmi K20 which made its debut in China only last week. The device will feature a 6.39-inch FHD+ notch-less AMOLED display and will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 chipset. Xiaomi may also release a Mi 9T Pro which will pack a Snapdragon 855 flagship SoC. But we can’t say if it will be launched on June 12 also. The Mi 9T also comes with a triple camera setup at the rear. The front has a 20MP sensor for selfies which sits on a motorised pop-up housing at the top edge.
There are also speculations that the Mi 9T and 9T Pro will be released in some markets as Poco F2 and Poco F2 Pro. The Pocophone model was first launched in India last year. Thus, if this is true, India won’t be among the countries to get the Poco F2 as the Redmi K20 series is set to launch in India on July 15.
