Xiaomi is gearing up to launch the Redmi Note 9 5G series in China on November 26(Thursday). Ahead of this, the company themselves have been teasing renders, specs of the devices. Today, one of the two 5G devices has visited Geekebench with a MediaTek SoC.
As reported by MySmartPrice, the Geekbench listing shows a Xiaomi device with model number M2007J22C. Now, if we recall, a few days ago, China’s TENAA revealed the entire specs of the device with model number M2007J22C. This, along with earlier leaks suggests that the device could very well be the Redmi Note 9 5G(standard edition).
That said, a recent listing on Jingdong(JD.com) suggests that Xiaomi might call the series as Redmi Note9 5G and Redmi Note9 Pro 5G. This is a first for a Redmi Note series as the predecessors have had a spacing between the name and number. However, let’s wait for official confirmation on Thursday.
Coming back, the Geekbench listing shows an ARM MT6853T as an octa-core CPU with a base frequency of 2.0GHz. This could just be a part number of the processor. Additionally, the source code of the webpage shows that the device has Mali G57 GPU which suggests that the processor is MediaTek Dimensity 800U. This corroborates with the early leaks on the specs of Redmi Note 9 5G.
Anyway, the listing shows the device in testing runs with 8GB RAM and runs Android 10. This suggests that the device could debut with MIUI 12 based on Android 10 out of the box. The device in question scores 598, 1793 points in Single and Multi-core Scores respectively. Now, if we recall, the Redmi Note 9 5G’s sibling had visited Geekbench listing a while ago with Snapdragon 750G SoC that has been confirmed by the company recently.
Redmi Note 9 5G Specifications(Expected)
Talking about design and specs, Redmi Note 9 5G’s TENAA renders showed that the device will have a similar rear panel as Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G but a top-left punch display. It is likely to feature a 6.53-inch IPS LCD FHD+ display, 4GB/6GB/8GB RAM, 64GB/128GB/256GB internal storage, 48MP triple camera setup, 13MP punch-hole selfie camera, MIUI 12 based on Android 10, NFC, 5,000mAh battery, and 22.5W fast charging.
That said, a global variant of this smartphone is also rumored to debut as Redmi Note 9T 5G. A recent FCC finding suggests that the device has a model number M2007J22G which is similar to the Chinese variant. Accordingly, it has already cleared SIRIM, IMDA, EEC certifications suggesting an imminent launch.
