Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note9 series of smartphones a week ago in China. And as per the reports, first sale of Redmi Note9 5G Pro exceeds several thousand units in the country. Additionally, Redmi has also shared the official sale figures of the entire Note9 series.

Redmi Note9 series comprising of the Note9 5G, Note9 Pro 5G, and Note9 4G went on sale at 0:00 China time on December 1. And according to Redmi’s official Weibo post, the first sale of the entire Note9 series exceeds 300,000 units. Previously, Xiaomi sold about 300,000 units of the Redmi Note 8 Pro in first sale back in 2019. That said, the company hasn’t shared the official figures of individual units yet.

Anyway, the data for the entire Note9 series is according to reports from Xiaomi store, JD.com, Tmall, and Suning stores as of December 1, 12:00 local time. Besides, as reported by Mydrivers, Jingdong shares the first sale figures of the Redmi Note9 Pro 5G. It says that more than 10,000 units of the device got sold out in just 52 seconds. Although a steady figure for the device isn’t available yet, we can imagine it breaking every record in the future.

In fact, the device deserves it as it has all the reasons to earn it right from the first Redmi 108MP camera smartphone to bringing 5G to the masses. The Redmi Note series of devices has always been the center of attraction for Xiaomi. For instance, the sale of the Note 7 series exceeded 10 million in just 129 days while the Note 8 series did it even quicker.

Additionally, an official report by the company shows that the sale of all the Note lineup so far has exceeded 140 million units globally.  Anyway, let’s wait for a bit to know how the Note9 series performs in the coming months.

Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 9 series including the Redmi Note9 Pro 5G in China On November 26. This is a tweaked version of the Mi 10T Lite in Europe. Now, a device with a similar model number likely for India has appeared on Google Play Supported devices list. Let’s find out which device is probably going to debut in the country. 

As noted by Mukul Sharma, Google Play Supported devices list shows a device with codename ‘gauguininpro’ and model number ‘M2007J17I’ under Xiaomi. Here the ‘in’ and “I” probably denotes that it’s an Indian variant as usual. Further, it is listed as Mi 10i.  Now to find out which device this could be, have a look at the model numbers below:

• Mi 10T Lite(Europe)- M2007J17G
• Redmi Note9 Pro 5G(China)- M2007J17C
• India listing(Mi 10i)- M2007J17I

Previously, two Xiaomi devices with codename gauguin and gauguinpro were spotted on MIUI 12 code back in July. Accordingly, these had the model number ‘J17’ and as per the firmware at that time, XDA had reported that two versions- ‘gauguinpro’, and ‘gauguin’ with 108MP, and 64MP cameras will launch in China, and India & Global markets respectively.

Although XDA considered it as an incorrect listing, Cut back to September, the Mi 10TLite debuts Globally with a 64MP camera. A few months later, a device with model number M2007J17C & 108MP camera, has landed recently in China as Redmi Note9 Pro 5G. And just like early reports, both the devices are similar with a major difference in camera.

All this, along with the ‘M2007J17I’ listing and Mi 10i name suggests that the device could be a rebadged Mi 10T Lite from Europe. And even though ‘gauguininpro’ and 64MP here appears contradictory, we feel Xiaomi might skip the 108MP variant for India. That is, it can place the device both as a watered-down variant of the Mi 10. And not jeopardize the Mi 10T series in the process.

Besides, even if Xiaomi were to launch Mi 10i as a budget 5G device with a 108MP camera to compete with the likes of OnePlus, Realme, Motorola, they would be jeopardizing their own Redmi brand. The latter generally operates between the 6k-25k segment. That said, considering it’s just a listing, let’s wait for more info in the coming future.

Mi 10i Specifications(Expected)

Either way, apart from the main Camera sensor, we can expect similar features like a 6.67-inch FHD+ 120Hz LCD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G 5G SoC, circular rear camera layout, 16MP selfie shooter, 4,820mAh battery with 33W fast charging.

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.

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.

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.
