Xiaomi to announce Redmi Note 9S in Malaysia on March 23

Last week, Redmi India announced the Redmi Note 9 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max. The two phones are the latest devices in the Redmi Note series and they pack some pretty interesting specs.

Fans of the series were surprised at the addition of a new model with the “Max” suffix and equally astonished that a standard/non-Pro model was not announced. Now, Xiaomi Malaysia has announced that it plans to launch a new Redmi Note phone next week and it will arrive as the Redmi Note 9S.

The Redmi Note 9S is scheduled to be announced on March 23, and from the teaser poster, it will also have four rear cameras arranged in the same fashion as those of its siblings in India. Another image posted on their Facebook page confirms the phone will have a punch hole in the middle of the screen.

It is still unknown if this is a different model entirely or one of the already announced devices with a new name. Nevertheless, we look forward to its launch.

This is not the first Redmi Note phone with an “S” at the back of its name. Last year, Xiaomi announced the Redmi Note 7S in India which is actually a version of the Redmi Note 7 with a 48MP primary rear camera. It was announced a few months after the Redmi Note 7 which has a 12MP primary rear camera.

Xiaomi Malaysia is also running a competition and the prize is a brand new phone. To enter, you have to follow Xiaomi Malaysia on Instagram (@xiaomi.malaysia). Then take a picture of a Redmi Note device you own and post it on Instagram with a 30-word caption telling your story with the said device (an experience or something along that line). Make sure you tag Xiaomi Malaysia on the post. The competition began on Friday, the 13th of March and it runs till Friday, the 20th of March.
