Redmi Note 9 Specifications!
To recall, the Redmi Note 9 features a 6.5 inches IPS LCD screen with a Full HD+ resolution. It has a punch-hole to the left and gets protection from the Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Underneath the Redmi Note 9, it sports the MediaTek Helio G85 SoC. Last year, the “Pro” version came with Helio chipset. It pairs with 3 or 4GB of RAM, and 64 or 128GB of internal storage. The smartphone runs on MIUI 12 on top of the Android 10.
The Redmi Note 9 packs a quad-rear camera setup which gets a rectangular configuration like the Note 9 Pro, and Note 9 Pro Max. It includes a primary 48MP Samsung ISOCELL GM1 sensor that pairs with a secondary 8MP ultra-wide angle sensor. Further, it gets a 2MP macro sensor with an aperture value of f/2.4 and another 2MP depth sensor with the same aperture value. To the front, it gets a 13MP sensor which sits inside the punch-hole.
The device sports a massive 5,020mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging which is Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0. Although Xiaomi bundles a 22.5W fast charger in the box, it can only charge up to 18W. It gets a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, and support for face unlock. The device comes in green, white and grey colour options. The pricing in India may start at Rs 9,999 or bit higher due to the increase in GST from April 2020.
