Back in April 2020, Xiaomi had launched the Redmi Note 9 through an online conference. The device is mid range handset and is the latest successor to the popular Redmi Note series. Now, an Indian variant of the device has been spotted on Wi-Fi Alliance‘s official website, which may imply an imminent launch in India. The news was first reported on by Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings) on Twitter.

For those unaware, the Redmi Note 9 features a 6.43 inch IPD LCD display with an FHD+ (1080 x 2340px) resolution. It is powered by a large 4,920mAh battery and features a quad camera setup on the rear. MediaTek’s Helio G85 is housed under the hood alongside 4GB, 6GB, and even 8GB of RAM. In terms of storage, a 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB variants are offered respectively.

The Redmi Note 9 being spotted on the Wi-Fi Alliance’s official website does imply that a launch could arrive soon, although an official date is yet to be announced. Interestingly, the device also runs Xiaomi’s latest Android 10 based custom skin, MIUI 12. So, the Redmi Note 9 could also mark the arrival of the new major software upgrade for the Indian Redmi and Xiaomi smartphone users.
Unfortunately, apart from the listings, we have nothing to more to go on. The Chinese tech giant may announce a launch date or a teaser soon, but a launch within this month is unlikely. As the Indian government plans on relaxing the mandatory lockdown in various regions, we may hear more from smartphone OEMs and their product launch dates. So stay tuned.
