Yesterday, Redmi confirmed that it will be starting with the pre-sales of the Redmi 9 smartphone in China on June 24. While the international model of the Redmi 9 comes in 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage and 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, its Chinese variant is expected to arrive with 4 GB / 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB / 128 GB of storage. According to Indian tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore, Redmi may also announce the Redmi 9A entry-level phone alongside the Redmi 9. Since the Redmi 9A will be positioned lower than the Redmi 9, it may come with a lesser amount of RAM and storage.
