It has been more than a week following the launch of the Redmi Note 9 Pro and the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max in India. While the former has gone on sale, the “Max” is yet to go on sale. Scheduled to go on the first sale on March 25, the date has now been postponed.
The announcement was made by Manu Kumar Jain, the CEO of Xiaomi India. The top executive said they have no choice but to postpone the first sale of the phone due to the multiple state lockdowns as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. However, a new date is yet to be announced.
Mi fans, due to recent state lockdowns, we will have to postpone the 1st sale of #RedmiNote9ProMax to a later date.
I would like to confirm that the sale of #RedmiNote9Pro will still happen as scheduled, tomorrow (24th) at 12 noon.
