It is available for purchase starting February 22 (today) from Mi.com, Amazon India, Mi Homes, and Mi Studios. The latest variant of the device will be also sold by partner retailers across the country in the coming days.

The Redmi 9 Power available in India is basically the Redmi Note 9 4G, which was first unveiled in China. This handset is also known as Redmi 9T in other markets.

In late December 2020, Xiaomi launched Redmi 9 Power as a rebranded Redmi Note 9 4G in India. This smartphone debuted in two storage configurations. Now, almost two months later, the company is tipped to release a third memory variant.

Ishan Agarwal, one of the popular leakers on Twitter, has partnered with 91Mobiles to bring new info about the already official Redmi 9 Power. According to him, Xiaomi India will be launching a new higher storage variant of this handset.

The new version of Redmi 9 Power is reported to come with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. As far as price is concerned, it will be retailing for ₹12,999 in the country. For those unaware, the currently available 4GB + 64GB and 4GB + 128GB variants are sold for ₹10,999 and ₹11,999 in the country.

It is interesting to see Xiaomi bringing a 6GB RAM variant of Redmi 9 Power in India. Because this feature is one of the key differentiators of POCO M3, another phone from the Xiaomi group with the almost same set of specs.

Hence, with the same amount of RAM and an additional 8MP ultra-wide camera, the upcoming Redmi 9 Power 6GB + 128GB variant sounds like a better option. However, it will be ₹2,000 costlier than the POCO M3 6GB + 128GB model.

Some of the highlights of Redmi 9 Power include a 6.53-inch FHD+ LCD panel, Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 SoC, dual stereo speakers, MIUI 12 based on Android 10, 6,000mAh battery, 18W fast charging,  and more.
