Xiaomi has an event tomorrow for the launch of a number of new products and one of the devices that will be announced is the Redmi Note 9. Ahead of the launch, a leak has revealed the press renders and the specifications of the device.
The source of the leak is Sudhanshu Ambhore, and based on the images he posted, the Redmi Note 9 will come in three color variants – green, blue, and gradient white. As you can see in the photo above, there is a punch-hole in the display but at the top left corner, unlike the Redmi Note 9S, Redmi Note 9 Pro, and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max that have a centered punch-hole.
The position of the punch hole is not the only physical difference between the Redmi Note 9 and its siblings. It is reported that the back of the phone is made of plastic and not glass. This is a downgrade considering the Redmi Note 8 has Gorilla Glass 5 on both sides.
Another difference is the presence of a fingerprint scanner on the back of the device which is side-mounted on its siblings. The sensor is shown to be in the same black housing as the cameras. Flanking the setup is an LED flash on the right.
With respect to specs, the Redmi Note 9 has a 6.53-inch FHD+ (2340 x 1080) display. There is a MediaTek Helio G85 chipset inside which is making its world debut in the Redmi Note 9.
The Redmi Note 9 will have a 48MP primary rear camera with an f/1.79 aperture, an 8MP ultrawide angle camera with an f/2.2 aperture, a 2MP f/2.4 macro camera, and a 2MP Depth Sensor.
There is a large 5020mAh battery inside the phone, a big boost when compared to the 4000mAh battery inside its predecessor. Fast charging is still capped at 18W but Xiaomi/Redmi is being generous by including a 22.5W charger in the box.
The Redmi Note 9 will have a USB Type-C port, an audio jack, an IR blaster, support for Dual SIM, and a MicroSD card slot for additional storage.
