Xiaomi‘s Redmi Note 9 series was slated to be discontinued after November 11, aka the Double 11 festival, but now, as the Double 12 festival came and went, the brand is still selling the device.

Earlier in November, Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi Group China and GM of the Redmi brand, posted on Weibo announcing that the Redmi Note 9 5G will be delisted in China after the Double 11 sale. He further added that the smartphone will be replaced by the Redmi Note 10 and Note 11 series. This course of action was expected to be decided upon so that the previous generation Note 9-series doesn’t eat up the market share of the newer Redmi Note 10 and Note 11 series devices.

However, the Double 11 sale came and went, and the Redmi Note 9 devices were still on sale. At this point, the Chinese media claimed that the phones would be available for purchase till 12/12, aka the Double 12 shopping festival, which will mark its last day on market listings. That too has come and gone, but the Redmi Note 9 and the Redmi Note 9 Pro still remain on sale. Though Xiaomi is yet to issue any official comments, there could be several reasons causing this.

The first thing that comes to mind is over-production. It may be that Xiaomi produced an excessive number of Note 9 series devices that they could not sell in the predicted timeframe. This could be attributed to the massive success garnered by its predecessor, the Redmi Note 8 series, which led the company to increase production of the follow-up, the Redmi Note 9.

Another reason for the continued sale of the Redmi Note 9 series could be due to the devices not selling as much compared to their predecessors or the next-gen Redmi Note 10, leaving a lot of unsold stock.

Whatever the case might be, the Note 9 series is still being sold in China for a discounted price of 1149 yuan ($180) for the Note 9 5G and 1499 yuan ($235) for the Note 9 Pro 5G variant. So if you are in China, grab one before they run out!

The post Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 5G yet to be discontinued, still available in China appeared first on Gizmochina.

Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi Group China and GM of the Redmi brand, yesterday posted on Weibo announcing that the Redmi Note 9 5G will soon be delisted in China. It will be replaced by the Redmi Note 10 and Note 11 series.

The discontinuation will be done after November 11’s Singles Day sale. For those unfamiliar, Singles Day is a Chinese unofficial holiday and shopping season that’s not unlike America’s Black Friday.

While the exact Redmi Note 9 series model to be discontinued has gone unmentioned, it’s most likely the Redmi Note 9 5G (Mi 10i). The phone may be joined by the delisting of the entire Redmi Note 9 series as well, comprised of the likes of the Redmi Note 9S and Redmi Note 9 Pro.

There hasn’t been any word if the discontinuation will be carried forward outside of China as well, although it is quite possible.

It sure is quite early for the series to die considering it made its debut only last year, but it is now superseded by the Redmi Note 10 series followed by the Redmi Note 11 series, so it figures. Xiaomi would not want the older models to cannibalize the sales of the newer models.

The Redmi Note 10 series saw great success when it went live in March this year and the Redmi Note 11 lineup seems to be following in its footsteps. The latter first went on sale on November 1st and sold over 500,000 units in just an hour.

The Redmi Note 11 Pro+ comes with some pretty compelling specs including a 120Hz Samsung AMOLED panel, 120W fast charging support, JBL stereo speakers, and a boxier design.

A couple of weeks back, Xiaomi revealed that the Redmi Note series will start receiving the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update in October. The company has now begun to roll out this update ahead of schedule. The first devices in the lineup to get access to the latest version of MIUI are Redmi Note 9 5G and Redmi Note 10 5G. At the same time, the update is also available for Mi 10 Youth Edition.

Xiaomi unveiled MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition at the Xiaomi MIX 4 launch event. The new version of MIUI brings improvements for devices running MIUI 12.5.

According to the official announcement post on Xiaomi Community China, a total of 7 smartphones are part of the second batch to receive the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update. Almost all of these handsets are Redmi Note models, except for one.

MIUI 12.5 is the latest version of Xiaomi’s mobile operating system. The company has been delivering this update to eligible devices for the past few weeks. The latest phones to receive this update are Redmi K40 Pro, Redmi K40 Pro+, and Redmi Note 9 5G.

The Redmi K40 Pro and Redmi K40 Pro+ are basically the same phones with a different primary camera. Hence, these handsets run a common MIUI build. Therefore, they are receiving the MIUI 12.5 update at the same time.

The MIUI 12.5 update for the Redmi K40 and the Redmi K40 Pro+ comes with build number V12.5.2.0.RKKCNXM. It is currently in the Stable Beta phase. That means the new system update is only available for a select few users.

Although Xiaomi sells expensive smartphones, the company’s cheaper handsets are popular worldwide. In fact, in India. Xiaomi is known as Redmi among commoners, thanks to value for money phones like Redmi A series, Redmi number series, and Redmi Note series. The latter series has now achieved a huge milestone, as per Xiaomi.

Yesterday, ahead of the Mi 11 global launch event, Xiaomi India announced a brag-worthy achievement on its various social media handles.

The Chinese smartphone maker revealed that it has shipped over 200 million units of Redmi Note series phones globally to date. This data is sourced from the firm’s own ‘Xiaomi Data Center’.

It is not surprising to learn that the global shipments of the Redmi Note series have exceeded 200 million units since its inception. This series has been the heart of Xiaomi’s product lineup ever since it was introduced.

Redmi Notes have been unbeatable in their price segment for a very long time. However, that began to change when realme entered the scene. But being an established product lineup, they are still as popular as they were before.

That said, Xiaomi is known for announcing its milestones ahead of releasing new devices. Hence, we think the Redmi Note 10 series is just around the corner. The upcoming series is reported to include two models, namely Redmi Note 10 and Redmi Note 10 Pro. As of now, we are only aware of the storage configurations and color variants of these handsets.

All the main Chinese manufacturers launched some very affordable 5G phones in China. You can actually get 5G-ready handsets by spending a very low amount of money, and you actually have a lot of choices. And you do not have to necessarily choose devices with entry-level specifications. If you want a pretty nice mid-range phone sold at a very affordable price, you can choose something like the Realme V15 5G, the Redmi Note 9 5G, or the ZTE Blade V2020 5G. They are all sold with listing prices below €200 or $250 in the Chinese market. This comparison will highlight the differences between their specifications.

Realme V15 5G vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 5G vs ZTE Blade V2020 5G

Design

If you look at these devices from the front side, the ZTE Blade V2020 5G is undoubtedly the most attractive one because it features a higher screen-to-body ratio. The bezels around its display are narrower than Realme V15 5G and Redmi Note 9 5G. But the Realme V15 5G looks more attractive if saw from other sides: it is thinner than ZTE Blade V2020 5G and Redmi Note 9 5G, it is lighter and the rear panel is cleaner (especially thanks to the in-display fingerprint reader), with better color variants.

Display

If you need the best display in terms of image and color reproduction, then you should go for the Realme V15 5G. It is the only one sporting an AMOLED panel and it is one of the most affordable phones with an AMOLED display. It shows more vibrant colors and deeper blacks, and it includes an in-display fingerprint reader. But you should not underestimate the LTPS display of the ZTE Blade V2020 5G: it does not provide the quality of an OLED panel, but it is still a very nice screen. Redmi Note 9 5G has an average IPS panel.

Hardware/Software

You can get the best hardware department with the Redmi Note 9 5G. We are not talking about huge differences, but it is actually superior as it features UFS 2.2 internal storage instead of UFS 2.1. Further, it has more internal storage in its most expensive variant: up to 256 GB. Right after, we got the Realme V15 5G with the same Dimensity 800U chipset, up to 8 GB of RAM, and up to 256 GB of UFS 2.1 storage. With the ZTE Blade V2020 5G you only get 6 GB of RAM and Dimensity 800. Despite they are recent phones, all of them run Android 10 out of the box, but they will be updated to Android 11.

Camera

The Realme V15 5G has a lower amount of camera, but a better camera department thanks to a better main sensor. We are talking about a 64 MP lens with an f/1.8 focal aperture. On the paper, the silver medal goes to the ZTE Blade V2020 5G sporting a 48 MP quad-camera and a great 16 MP selfie camera with f/2.0 aperture. The Redmi Note 9 5G disappoints with its 48 MP triple camera and an inferior 13 MP selfie snapper.

Battery

The Redmi Note 9 5G wins the battery comparison because it is equipped with a bigger 5000 mAh battery. Its battery life is longer in all of the scenarios. Right after, we got the Realme V15 5G: it has a smaller battery but a way faster charging technology with 50W power. ZTE Blade V2020 5G is inferior again with its 4000 mAh battery and just 18W fast charging.

Price

Redmi Note 9 5G starts from €165/$200, ZTE Blade V2020 5G is priced at €180/$220, and Realme V15 5G costs €190/$231 in its base variant. The winner of this comparison is the Realme V15 5G due to its better main camera, AMOLED display, and sleeker design. But the Redmi Note 9 5G provides a bigger battery and stereo speakers, unlike its rivals. With the above-mentioned prices, it does not make a lot of sense to choose the ZTE Blade V2020 5G.

Recent reports have revealed that the Redmi Note 9T phone has passed several certifications such as Malaysia’s SIRIM, Thailand’s NBTC, and TUV Rheinland certification. The handset was also recently seen at Geekbench benchmarking platform with the Dimensity 800U chipset. Rumors surrounding it have revealed that it could be a global version of the Redmi Note 9 5G that launched in China in November. Earlier today, Xiaomi Spain released a tweet that confirmed Jan. 8 as the launch date of Redmi Note 9T. The official tweet that was first spotted by tipster Abhishek Yadav is no longer accessible as it has been taken down.

The deleted tweet carried the below-shown poster. It mentioned that the Redmi Note 9T will be breaking cover at 11:00 AM (GMT+1) on Jan. 8 in Spain. The handset is expected to arrive in Spain as one of the most affordable 5G-ready smartphones. While the tweet has been deleted, the official Twitter handle of Xiaomi global has claimed that the Redmi Note 9T is coming soon.

The MIUI 12 based Android 10 OS may come preinstalled on the Redmi Note 9T. It may sport a front camera of 13-megapixel and its rear shell could be fitted with a triple camera setup. The latter may include a 48-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.

The Redmi Note 9T carries support for 18W fast charging for its 5,000mAh battery. It is fitted with a side-facing fingerprint reader. There is no word on the pricing of Note 9T for the European markets.

The Redmi Note 9T has now appeared on Geekbench further strengthening the belief that it’s a rebadge of China’s Redmi Note9 5G. The listing also suggests that the supposed Global variant will come with an older version of Android.

The latest Geekbench listing of a Xiaomi smartphone with model number M2007J22G appears online. If we recall, a device with a similar model number has already passed Thailand’s NBTC and Malaysia’s SIRIM certifications. Among this, the NBTC revealed that the device would debut as Redmi Note 9T 5G.

Anyway, the device in testing runs 4GB of RAM and has an ARM MT6853T processor. A similar Geekbench of the Redmi Note9 5G before its launch revealed that it’s the MediaTek Dimensity 800U 5G SoC. That said, the 4GB variant doesn’t exist in China as it is selling only in 6/8GB RAM, and 128/256GB UFS 2.2 storage variants.

EDITOR’S PICK: Xiaomi Mi 10i official color names and memory variants leak

Besides, the listing also reveals that the Global variant will likely debut with Android 10 OS just like Redmi Note9 5G. Previously, while launching in November, the latter came with MIUI 12 but didn’t carry the latest Android(11). Also, despite sporting a lower RAM, the scores are almost on par with the Chinese variant(single-core- 598, multi-core- 1,760 points).

Redmi Note 9T Specifications(Expected)

The Note 9T 5G will likely feature a 6.53-inch FHD+ LCD display with a top-left punch-hole upfront. At the back, a circular camera layout like the Note9 Pro 5G will hold three sensors with a 48MP main lens, 8MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP sensor.

Other expected specs include a 5,000mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging, in addition to SA/NSA 5G and other connectivity options.

Do you need a phone supporting the 5G connectivity but you have a very limited budget? At the moment, you have a very high amount of choices, especially if you are from China. That is why we decided to publish a comparison between the latest affordable 5G phones. In this comparison, you will see three phones available in Asia, two of which already hitten the shelves in Europe as well. We are talking about Realme 7 5G and OPPO A73 5G, both available worldwide. Given its high value for money, we also included the Redmi Note 9 5G which is only sold in the Chinese market for now, but it will surely debut in other regions soon.

Realme 7 5G vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 5G vs OPPO A73 5G

Design

With Realme 7 5G, Redmi Note 9 5G, and OPPO A73 5G you do not get premium designs, unfortunately. All the phones are built with a plastic body, so you do not get premium materials. If you want the best build quality, then you should go for the Redmi Note 9 5G which boasts the Gorilla Glass 5 protection for the front panel and it has a water-repellent coating. If you want the best look, then I believe you should opt for the Realme 7 5G as it comes in more attractive color variants. If you need the most compact phone, then choose the OPPO A73 5G which is actually thinner and lighter.

Display

You should definitely discard the Redmi Note 9 5G if you want the most advanced display. Unlike its two rivals, the IPS panel of the Redmi Note 9 5G has a standard refresh rate. With the Realme 7 5G, you can get a 120 Hz refresh rate, while the OPPO A73 5G has a 90 Hz refresh rate. The refresh rate is the most important difference between these displays, that is why Realme 7 5G wins the comparison. Each of these devices features a 6.5-inch diagonal and a Full HD+ resolution with 1080 x 2400 pixels.

Hardware/Software

Do you need the most powerful hardware department? Then go for the Redmi Note 9 5G without thinking twice. It is fueled by the Dimensity 800U chipset by MediaTek, it offers up to 8 GB of RAM and UFS 2.2 internal storage up to 256 GB. Realme 7 5G has exactly the same chipset and the same amount of RAM, but the internal storage is UFS 2.1. The OPPO A73 5G is available in the 8/128 GB configuration only, but unfortunately, it has a weaker Dimensity 700 chipset. OPPO A73 5G, Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 5G, and Realme 7 5G are all based on Android 10.

Camera

The most advanced camera phone of this trio is the Realme 7 5G: on the rear side, it has a 48 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a pair of 2 MP sensors for macros and depth calculation. You get the same department with the Redmi Note 9 5G with the exception of the depth sensor. The OPPO A73 5G is a bit disappointing because it has a 16 MP main sensor instead of the better 48 MP one found on the Realme 7 5G and the Redmi Note 9 5G. The best front camera belongs to the Realme 7 5G boasting a 16 MP sensor.

Battery

Realme 7 5G and Redmi Note 9 5G have the same 5000 mAh battery capacity, but the Redmi Note 9 5G provides a longer battery life because its display has a standard refresh rate. Naturally, you could achieve a similar result by using 60 Hz on the Realme 7 5G. Further, the Realme 7 5G has a faster charging technology with 30W power. The OPPO has a smaller 4040 mAh battery and it can not compete with its opponents.

Price

Realme 7 5G is priced €279/$343 globally, OPPO A73 5G has a €300/$369 listing price, Note 9 5G is still not available in the global market and it carries a €192/$236 price tag in China. The winner of this comparison is the Realme 7 5G due to its 120 Hz refresh rate and great cameras.

The Chinese market recently welcomed the new Redmi Note 9 5G: the first 5G phone from the Redmi Note series. But several other 5G mid-rangers hitten the Chinese market in the last period, that is why the Redmi Note 9 5G is not necessarily the best choice in its price range. With our comparison, we usually give our readers the chance to understand the differences between handsets released in the same price range. We believe the best actual rivals of the Redmi Note 9 5G are the iQOO U3 and the Realme X7. Through this specs comparison, we will try to tell you which one is the best for your needs.

The design award goes to the Realme X7. It is thinner, it is lighter and it is even more compact than Redmi Note 9 5G and Vivo iQOO U3. Further, it has an in-display fingerprint reader making the overall design cleaner and an amazing look. iQOO U3 and Redmi Note 9 5G are bigger and thicker due to their bigger displays and batteries. The interesting pro of the Redmi Note 9 5G is its water-repellent coating. Further, note that the Redmi Note 9 5G has a punch-hole display, while iQOO U3 has a classic waterdrop notch.

Display

If you want the best display, you should go for the Realme X7 without thinking twice. Thanks to its AMOLED panel, the Realme X7 is able to provide more brilliant colors and deeper blacks. Further, as mentioned above, it sports an under-display fingerprint scanner. Unfortunately, both iQOO U3 and Redmi Note 9 5G feature an IPS panel. The iQOO U3 is more interesting because it supports a 90 Hz refresh rate, while Redmi Note 9 5G has a 60 Hz display. In both cases, you get a side-mounted fingerprint reader.

Hardware/Software

Vivo iQOO U3, Redmi Note 9 5G, and Realme X7 all pack an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 800U chipset which supports 5G connectivity. It is a mid-range chipset more or less at the same level as the Snapdragon 765G. With the iQOO U3 and the Redmi Note 9 5G, you actually get a slightly faster internal storage thanks to the UFS 2.2 technology. But the Redmi Note 9 5G offers more space: up to 256 GB. Further, Redmi Note 9 5G features expandable storage, while its rivals do not. All the phones run Android 10 with heavy customizations.

Camera

The Realme X7 packs the most advanced camera department. On the rear side, it sports a 64 MP main camera, an ultrawide 8 MP sensor, and a pair of 2 MP sensors for macros and depth calculation. Further, the handset features a better 32 MP front camera. The second place goes to the Redmi Note 9 5G featuring a 48 MP triple camera. Unfortunately, iQOO U3 lacks an ultrawide sensor and it offers a 48 MP dual camera: a disappointing thing for a phone released in 2020.

Battery

Redmi Note 9 5G is the battery champion with its 5000 mAh capacity. The iQOO U3 has a 5000 mAh battery as well, but it should provide an inferior battery life due to its higher refresh rate. The Realme X7 has a smaller 4300 mAh battery, but thanks to 65W fast charging it reaches 100% in less than 35 minutes.

Price

Vivo iQOO U3 is priced at about €200/$245 in its base variant, just like the Redmi Note 9 5G. For the Realme X7, you need at least €220/$270. The Realme X7 is the winner of this comparison thanks to its AMOLED display and better camera department. Right after, we got the Redmi Note 9 5G offering a micro SD slot and slightly better cameras. The iQOO U3 is like a Redmi Note 9 5G with a higher refresh rate and inferior camera department.

At the end of last month, Redmi, the sub-brand of Xiaomi launched Redmi Note 9 series in China. The series consists of three smartphones and these devices have been on sale for the past 13 days. Within this period, the company managed to sell 1 million units.

Xiaomi initially debuted the Redmi Note 9 series earlier this year in India. But the Redmi Note 9 models launched in China are different devices altogether. This series includes two 5G phones (Redmi Note 9 5G, Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G) and a single 4G handset (Redmi Note 9 4G).

Now, less than two weeks (13 days to be exact) from them being going on sale, Redmi accomplished to sell over 1 million units of these smartphones. The brand revealed its new achievement on Weibo.

In case you do not know, Xiaomi’s Redmi number, Redmi A, and Redmi Note series of handsets have always been global bestsellers. For instance, the company has sold over 140 million units of Redmi Notes worldwide as of November. These phones are popular because of the value they offer for the price.

That said, although the new Redmi Note 9 series is exclusive to China, the same phones are expected to release with different branding in global markets. The Pro variant is already available in Europe as Mi 10T Lite with a 64MP primary camera. This handset will be also launching as Mi 10i in India. Similarly, the 4G model will soon go official as Redmi 9 Power and Redmi 9T with an additional camera.

Xiaomi released several 5G devices this year, even in the affordable segment. If you want an affordable 5G phone you have a lot of choices and the latest one is the Redmi Note 9 5G. But is it also the best besides being the last? In order to establish this, we decided to compare the Redmi Note 9 5G with other Xiaomi affordable phones supporting 5G connectivity, in order to decrease the confusion around them. We chose the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite and the Redmi 10X 5G because they belong to the same price segment. Note that the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite is the only one available in the European market, while the Redmi devices are still Asia-exclusive.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 5G vs Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite vs Xiaomi Redmi 10X 5G

Design

The ugly shape of the camera module and the waterdrop notch do not make the Redmi 10X 5G the most modern and beautiful device of the trio. The Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite is definitely better with its glass back, punch-hole display, and overall better look with more attractive color variants. The Redmi Note 9 5G comes right after, but it has a plastic back instead of a glass cover. On the other hand, Redmi Note 9 5G and Redmi 10X 5G have water-repellent coatings, while the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite does not. You should also consider that Redmi 10X 5G has an in-display fingerprint reader, while on the Mi 10T Lite it is side-mounted.

Display

The most impressive display belongs to the Redmi 10X 5G: it is the only one to feature an AMOLED panel showing better colors and deeper blacks. It even supports the HDR10+ certification allowing for better image quality. The second place goes to the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite which sports an IPS display with a 120 Hz refresh rate. Redmi Note 9 5G has an IPS display with a standard 60 Hz refresh rate, really nothing special. Unfortunately, Redmi 10X 5G lacks stereo speakers, or it would have been a perfect multimedia phone.

Hardware/Software

The MediaTek Dimensity 820 chipset found on the Redmi 10X 5G is a more powerful processor than the Dimensity 800U and the Snapdragon 750G found on the Redmi Note 9 5G and the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite. And this is not the only element that makes the Redmi 10X 5G the winner of the hardware comparison. Redmi 10X 5G also offers a higher amount of RAM: up to 8 GB instead of 6 GB like its two rivals. The software you get with these phones is the same, if we exclude the fact that Redmi 10X 5G ships with MIUI 11 out of the box, while the other twos run MIUI 12.

Camera

The most advanced camera is on board the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite: we are talking about the 64 MP main sensor paired with an 8 MP ultrawide lens and two 2 MP sensors for macro and depth. With the Redmi Note 9 5G and the Redmi 10X 5G you get the same rear cameras, but the front camera is better on the Redmi 10X 5G.

Battery

The Redmi Note 9 5G packs a bigger battery and its battery life is longer. But the Redmi 10X 5G and the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite are still great battery phones with their above-average batteries. The Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite wins the fast charging comparison with its 33W power.

Price

Redmi 10X 5G is priced at about €205/$248 in China, Redmi Note 9 5G goes for €170/$205, and Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite costs €249/$300 globally. Technically, the most convincing phone of this trio is the Redmi 10X 5G due to its stronger chipset and AMOLED display. But some may prefer the Mi 10T Lite due to its Snapdragon chipset, faster charging, and better camera. Redmi Note 9 5G can let you save a lot of money, but it is inferior.

Last month, Redmi announced the Redmi Note 9 4G, Redmi Note 9 5G, and Redmi Note 9 Pro 5Gv in China. A variant of the Redmi Note 9 4G went official as the POCO M3 and there is speculation that its other variant could be heading to some markets as the Redmi 9T. There have been speculations that the Redmi Note 9 5G will be heading to markets outside of China as the Redmi Note 9T. The model number of the Note 9 5G is M2007J22C and its global variant has the M2007J22G model number. Today, the M2007J22G model number appeared with the Redmi Note 9T moniker at Thailand’s NBTC certification.

The NBTC listing only confirms the Redmi Note 9T moniker. It appears that the Redmi Note 9 5G will be rebranded as the Redmi Note 9T in Thailand, Malaysia, and some other markets. The specifications of the Note 9T are not mentioned in the NBTC listing. However, it is likely that the device could be packed with the same specs that are available on China’s Note 9 5G.

Editor’s Pick:  Xiaomi M2007J17I listed as Mi 10i; Is it rebadged Mi 10T Lite or Redmi Note9 Pro 5G for India?

Redmi Note 9T specifications (Rumored)

The Redmi Note 9T could be equipped with a 6.53-inch IPS LCD FHD+ punch-hole display. The Dimensity 800U chipset could be powering the device with LPPDR4x RAM and UFS 2.1 storage. In China, the Redmi Note 9 5G is available with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of storage. It is preinstalled with MIUI 12 based Android 10 OS and it has a microSD card slot for additional storage.

The Redmi Note 9T could be sporting a 12-megapixel front-facing camera. Its rear shell could be fitted with a 48-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple camera system. The device is could be backed by a 5,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging support.

Motorola just launched the Moto G 5G in India, where it is one of the most affordable 5G smartphones. It is one of the few phones able to offer 5G connectivity with a high value for money. But it has a few important rivals released in the same period. A few days ago, Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 9 5G, while Realme came up with the Realme 7 5G. Are you wondering which one is the best low-end 5G phone out there? This comparison will let you find out by highlighting the differences between their main specifications.

Realme 7 5G vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 5G vs Motorola Moto G 5G

Design

Unfortunately, none of these devices offers a premium design. In each case, you get a plastic body. But the Realme 7 5G is actually more attractive because it has a better look, more compact dimensions, and a thinner design, as well as a lighter body. It is not so compact if we compare it to the Redmi Note 9 5G, but there is a marginal difference. The camera module looks more beautiful and the phone features a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, unlike the Motorola Moto G 5G which comes with a rear-mounted sensor. Redmi Note 9 5G and Realme 7 5G offer minimum protection against water and weather, while Motorola Moto G 5G does not seem to.

Display

The most interesting display is the one found on the Realme 7 5G for a simple reason: it supports a high 120 Hz refresh rate. In each case, you get an IPS panel, but the Realme 7 5G is the only one to offer a high refresh rate. On the other hand, the Motorola Moto G 5G has the LTPS technology and the HDR10 certification providing a better image quality in several scenarios. The Redmi Note 9 5G has just a classic IPS panel with no additional technologies making it better than its rivals.

Hardware/Software

The best chipset belongs to the Motorola Moto G 5G: we are talking about the Snapdragon 750G mobile platform running at a 2.2 GHz frequency. But the Motorola Moto G 5G does not win the hardware comparison. The Realme 7 5G is equipped with a Dimensity 800U chipset which is slightly inferior to the Snapdragon 750G, but it packs more RAM: up to 8 GB. The Redmi Note 9 5G has the same hardware setup as the Realme 7 5G, but it comes in a version with 256 GB of native storage, while you get a max of 128 GB with the Realme 7 5G. All the handsets run Android 10 out of the box.

Camera

The Realme 7 5G has more rear cameras: it features an additional 2 MP sensor for macros. But the Motorola Moto G 5G has a brighter focal aperture for its main sensor (f/1.7). This may result in better photos with low light conditions. A better main sensor counts more than a secondary camera sensor, for overall photo quality. But it depends on your needs. The Redmi Note 9 5G loses the camera comparison.

Battery

The battery capacity of Redmi Note 9 5G, Motorola Moto G 5G, and Realme 7 5G is exactly the same: 5000 mAh. Their battery life is similar unless you use the 120 Hz refresh rate on the Realme 7 5G. The Realme 7 5G features a faster charging technology with 30W power.

Price

Redmi Note 9 5G is priced at about €204/$243 in China, Realme 7 5G starts from €229/$273 globally, and Moto G 5G costs about €200/$238 in India. Despite the great camera and display of the Motorola Moto G 5G, my choice would be the Realme 7 5G mainly due to its higher refresh rate, followed by the faster charging technology. But there are just marginal differences between the specifications of these devices, so it is also a matter of taste.

Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 9 Series in China yesterday. The lineup has two 5G devices- Redmi Note9 5G, Note9 Pro 5G, and a Note9 4G version. Today, a teardown of the entire series by popular AIO Technology shows the difference between the devices. And as teased by Lei Jun earlier, the devices bring improvements in performance, battery, camera, and more.

Rear Shell, Display

As reported by SeekDevice(via GSMArena), the teardown begins by taking off the back covers. As per the reports, both 4G and 5G version of Redmi Note 9 series has plastic shell. And, the 5G version is made to look like AG glass. However, the Note 9 Pro 5G reportedly has a real AG(Anti-Glare)Glass cover.

Talking about the display, we already know that the entire series uses LCD displays. The teardown additionally reveals that all of them are made by TCL CSOT, and have the connecting interface fused to the back of the display. Moving on, the rear shell of 4G and 5G Redmi Note 9 have fingerprint sensors, and antennas attached to them. The 5G version has more antenna contact points which is obvious.

Processor, Cooling

The top cover of the Note 9 series covers the Processor and Camera modules. Among this, the NFC on the Note9 Pro 5G is integrated into the top cover. Beneath it are the SoC along with memory and other components. The 3.5mm audio jack on the 4G version is sorted to the board while others have it integrated. Additionally, all the devices have Infrared sensors(IR blaster) sorted to the board.

Besides, the processors are covered with metal cover, copper foils, and a thermal paste beneath the surface. Removing them reveals the CPU, memory(UFS 2.2, DDR4 RAM). Talking about the cooling, Note9 4G has a heat dissipation film attached to the rear panel but the 5G versions have it on the fuselage(body). While the mid-frame of the devices have more heat dissipation film, the Note9 Pro 5G has a copper tube running in the mid-frame for extra cooling.

Camera module

The camera modules on the 4G and 5G devices are different. The Note9 4G has a rectangle layout and is it at the far left while two 5G devices have a circular layout at the center. Interestingly, the Note9 Pro 5G has an additional protection cover and three more screws to hold the arrangement. The flash on 4G version is fused to the back cover. But the 5G version has it on the layout and the 5G Pro version has it sorted to the board.

1 of 2

The cameras themselves are reportedly similar in the 4G and 5G base version with the difference being a depth of field(2MP depth) and macro lens(2MP Macro) on the former and latter. The Redmi Note9 Pro layout has the biggest 108MP HM2  module and auxiliary sensors.

Battery, and other parts

Removing the big ribbon cable that separates the bottom and upper part reveals the battery. All of them are protected by adhesives. As we all know the batteries on 4G, and two 5G versions are 6,000, 5,000, and 4,820mAh respectively.

1 of 3

The bottom part is also protected by a cover. Removing it reveals the USB-C, Speaker, vibrator, and 3.5mm jack on the 5G versions. The report says the speaker and vibration motor are similar across the models but the 5G versions have a Z-Axis linear motor.

Last month we saw a rumor roundup for the upcoming Redmi Note series in China. While we thought it could be the Note 10 series, subsequent leaks led us to believe that it should be the Redmi Note 9 series. Later, Xiaomi themselves confirmed that the series will indeed darn the ‘Note 9’ moniker. The company will launch three new smartphones in China tomorrow (November 26). Ahead of this, let’s look at the expected specifications, price of the devices.

Redmi Note 9 Series China- What’s New

Xiaomi has indirectly confirmed that the Note 9 series in China will have three devices. Multiple posters and invites shared by the company has a “three musketeers” slogan indicating the same. Accordingly, the company will unveil two 5G devices- Redmi Note9 5G and Redmi Note9 Pro 5G.

Although the company is teasing the devices with the “Note 9 Series” tagline, hints on the Jingdong listing suggests that there won’t be any spacing between the name and number. Anyway, the third device is likely a 4G variant with Redmi Note9 4G moniker.

Precisely, 5G and Camera are expected to be the big upgrades for the Note 9 series in China. As usual, you can expect 2020 hype-trains like the high-refresh-rate screens, bigger camera sensors, faster charging, at least on the higher variant.

Redmi Note9 Pro 5G Specifications(Expected)

The highest variant of the series is likely the Redmi Note9 Pro 5G(M2007J17C). Earlier leaks said that the device will be a tweaked version of the Xiaomi Mi 10T-Lite. Accordingly, Redmi’s official teaser images show a similar design with Mi 10T Lite’s Rose Gold Beach, Atlantic Blue, and Pearl Grey colors.

Besides, leaked information so far shows that the device will retain the majority of the Mi 10T Lite’s specs. The Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G will likely feature a 6.67-inch IPS LCD FHD+ 120Hz display, Snapdragon 750G chipset, a 4,820mAh battery with 33W fast charging.  Further TENAA listings also reveal that the device will measure 165.4 x 76.9 x 9mm and weigh 214.5 grams.

However, the significant difference is said to be the main camera. It is expected to the first Redmi smartphone to sport a 108MP camera sensor instead of 64MP on the Mi 10T Lite. For Selfies, it will likely have a 16MP sensor under the centered punch-hole. Other features likely are 6/8/12GB RAM, 64/128/256GB storage, stereo speakers, 3.5mm audio jack, NFC, IR blaster, and Z-axis linear motor.

EDITOR’S PICK: Lenovo teases the arrival of new phones to rival with Redmi Note 9 5G series; Could it be Lemon series?

Redmi Note9 5G Specifications(Expected)

Redmi Note 9 5G will likely be a slightly watered-down sibling(M2007J22C) in terms of Camera, fast charging measuring 161.96 x 77.25 x 9.2mm and weighing 200 grams. That said, TENAA renders showed that the device will have a similar rear panel as Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G but a top-left punch-hole display.

Talking about specs, it is likely to feature a 6.53-inch IPS LCD FHD+ display, MediaTek Dimensity 800U SoC,  48MP triple camera setup, 13MP punch-hole selfie camera, MIUI 12 based on Android 10. Other expected features are 4GB/6GB/8GB RAM, 64GB/128GB/256GB internal storage, NFC, a 5,000mAh battery, and 22.5W fast charging.

Besides, the global variant of this smartphone is also rumored to debut as Redmi Note 9T 5G. The device has already cleared SIRIM, IMDA, EEC certifications so far.

Redmi Note9 4G China Specifications(Expected)

As for the 4G variant of the Redmi Note 9, the TENAA listing shows similar specs to the recently launched POCO M3. It measures 162.29 x 77.24 x 9.6mm and weighs 196g. However, the images show that the device doesn’t have the big black housing around the camera and leather-like finish of POCO M3.

Anyway, Xiaomi surprisingly hasn’t revealed anything about the device yet. That said, the device will likely feature a 6.5-inch FHD+ display, Snapdragon 662 SoC. As for the optics, For cameras, it will likely have a 48MP main lens, two 2MP sensor on the rear, and an 8MP selfie shooter.

Other specifications expected are  4/6/8GB RAM, 64/128/256GB storage, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 4G, USB-C port, 6,000mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging but the POCO M3 only has 18W charging support.

Redmi Note 9 Series: Expected Price

The Redmi Note 9 Series in China is expected to start at 1,000yuan($152). Precisely, leaks say that the 4G variant will start around 1,000yuan. However, the Note9 5G will likely start slightly about the 1,000yuan mark and the Note9 Pro is expected to be around 1,500yuan($228.5).

If that happens, Redmi Note9 Pro 5G will be one of the cheapest 108MP camera smartphones out there. Anyway, let’s wait for the official pricing as the event is scheduled for tomorrow at 20:00 China time.

It’s a no-brainer that Redmi Note 9 Series will break cover on November 26 in China. Ahead of this, the company has been teasing the device frequently. Today, the VP of Xiaomi, Lu Weibing has shared a post on Weibo that shows invitations sent out to media. And the letter is accompanied by an actual “sword”.

The official post(via Sina Technology) on Weibo shared by Lu Weibing shows a series of images with an invitation letter and a big box. The invitation letter has the Redmi Note 9 logo, and the “Three Musketeers” slogan confirming the three models. Further, it reads, “There are thousands of schools in the arena, and there are thousands of moves. But the great heroes do not ask for unique secrets. They should carefully practice one move and one move to benefit the people”(Google translated).

As for the sword, bloggers who received it have shared a slogan on Weibo. It says “the brave will win if you meet on a narrow road”(Google Translated). That said, reports say that the sword is basically an eight-sided Han Sword. Apparently, it is and is long, narrow, and thicker than the four-sided ones. This suggests that the sword might be a collectors’ edition resembling the ones from the Han Dynasty of China. You can take at the sword and invites below:

1 of 4

In case you don’t know, Redmi Note 9 series will likely darn the name Redmi Note 9 4G, Redmi Note 9 5G, Note 9 Pro 5G. A recent listing on Jingdong(JD.com) suggests that Xiaomi might call the 5G models as Redmi Note9 5G and Redmi Note9 Pro 5G.

Redmi Note 9 Series Specifications(Expected)

The top of the line Redmi Note9 Pro 5G will likely be a tweaked version of the  Xiaomi Mi 10T-Lite. Additionally, we know that the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G has a 6.67-inch IPS LCD FHD+ 120Hz display, Snapdragon 750G chipset, a 4,820mAh battery with 33W fast charging. Further, the device is likely to have a 108MP rear camera, stereo speakers, 3.5mm audio jack, NFC, IR blaster, and Z-axis linear motor.

Talking about the sibling, 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,  MediaTek Dimensity 800U, 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.

As for the 4G variant of the Redmi Note 9, from the TENAA listing, looks a lot similar to the upcoming POCO M3. It will likely feature a 6.5-inch FHD+ display, Snapdragon 662 SoC, 48MP camera, 6,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging.

Nevertheless, the Redmi Note 9 series will go on sale on the launch day, and will likely start from 1000 yuan($152).

Latest Gizmochina Review: Poco M3 Unboxing and Hands on:

The post Xiaomi sends out Redmi Note 9 Series’ invites to media with a ‘sword’ appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

1 of 2

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.

Redmi, the sub-brand of Xiaomi is all set to launch Redmi Note 9 5G series on November 26. The company has been teasing the specs of these phones for the past few days. Now, the duo has been also listed on JD (Jingdong) confirming it to go on sale on the launch day itself.

Chinese retailers usually list the devices before their official launch to further hype the products. However, these listings are usually empty with no important details. The same is the case for the upcoming Redmi Note 9 5G series.

The official listing for the next-gen Redmi Notes in China on JD does not say anything about the smartphones. The pages don’t even reveal the official branding for these phones. However, they confirm that there will be only two devices, which should probably retail as ‘Redmi Note9 5G’ and ‘Redmi Note 9Pro 5G’ respectively.

Anyway, If you notice the placeholder branding clearly, for the first since its inception, the Redmi Note series branding may not have space between the name and the number. For those unaware, some smartphone brands like OPPO, HUAWEI, and Samsung don’t use space between the series name and the generation number. For eg., OPPO Reno4 Pro, HUAWEI Mate40 Pro, and Galaxy Note20 Ultra.

Having said that. Redmi’s parent company Xiaomi is yet to launch a smartphone with a similar branding style. Maybe, it will too join this ever-growing list next year.

Whatever, the Redmi Note 9 5G series will be available for purchase at 8 PM on its launch day – November 26 on JD (Jingdong) in China. That said, although there’s no word on international launch yet, the regular model may debut as Redmi Note 9T for global markets in the coming weeks, as per various certification bureaus.

Xiaomi India had recently launched the Redmi Note 9 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max smartphones in China. However, since these 4G phones are designed for overseas markets, they won’t be launching in China. It is speculated that the company will be launching a 5G-ready Redmi Note series smartphone in China in the near future.

The charger supports a maximum charging rate of 22.5W.
