In recent times, Xiaomi has often rebadged Redmi smartphones as POCO phones in other markets. The reverse seems to be the case for the POCO M3 which has been tipped to launch as Redmi 9T in some markets. A YouTuber has now shared a video of the Redmi 9T confirming the device will be a rebranded POCO M3. The video even features the M3 handled side by side with the Redmi 9T.

The YouTube video posted by Mobile Tech Podcast has been pulled off but you can still check it out from below. The Redmi 9T is shown to have a key difference from the Poco M3 which is the rear camera configuration. While the Poco M3 packs three rear cameras, the 9T features four camera setup. The fourth lens is an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens in addition to the 48MP primary wide-angle lens, 2MP depth sensor, and 2MP macro lens.

The display and other configurations are likely the same. This includes a 6.53-inch Full HD+ IPS display with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. There is a waterdrop-style notch on the screen that houses an 8MP selfie camera. The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of expandable storage. The device will also pack a large 6,000mAh battery.

There is no word yet as to when the device will be launched but the device was recently certified in Thailand. Also, Xiaomi Malaysia recently instituted a contest that ends on the 7th of January 2021 that will see 10 lucky fans head home with a unit of a device suspected to be the Redmi 9T.  Thus, we believe the device will be launched pretty soon.

Xiaomi Malaysia has teased a new smartphone that may be launching soon in the Asian country. The tech giant recently initiated a contest on its Facebook page that will see ten lucky fans win a unit of the new smartphone each. But the company didn’t reveal the name of the unannounced smartphone. It only indicated that the phone will be a Redmi model which it dubbed Redmi XX.

The teaser poster accompanying the contest contains a render of the device showing the rear camera. The image shows the device will pack a Quad-camera setup stacked vertically at the top left corner. The device looks like the Redmi Note 9 4G China version which is also similar to the Poco M3. Thus, there are strong speculations that this is the Redmi 9T which was certified in Thailand recently.

To put it in perspective, the Redmi 9T is expected to feature a 6.53-inch Full HD+ IPS display and will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage. The device will also pack a large 6,000mAh battery.

The camera setup will be similar to that of the Poco M3 which includes a 48MP main camera, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. the Redmi 9T is said to have a fourth sensor which is an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera. The design is similar to the Redmi Note 9 4G still, except that where there is an LED sensor on the Redmi Note 9 4G, there will be a sensor.

There is no word yet as to when the device will be launched but considering that the contest ends on the 7th of January 2021, the new phone could be revealed as early as next week. We can’t guess the price tag but since the POCO M3 starts at RM599 (~$148) for the 64GB version and RM699 (~$173) for the 128GB, we expect the Redmi 9T to be priced around that region.
