What you need to know
- Xiaomi will be launching the Redmi 9 Power in India on December 17.
- The Redmi 9 Power is expected to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 9 4G launched in China last month.
- It is expected to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 chipset and a 6000mAh battery with 18W fast charging.
Earlier this month, a report from XDA Developers claimed that Xiaomi is planning to launch the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G in India as the Mi 10i. The same report also claimed that the Redmi Note 9 4G would make its way to India as the Redmi 9 Power. Xiaomi India has now confirmed it will be taking the wraps off the Redmi 9 Power at a virtual event on December 17.
Since the Redmi 9 Power will be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 9 4G, it is expected to come with a 6.67-inch FHD+ display and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 662 chipset. In the camera department, however, the Redmi 9 Power could be slightly different from the Redmi Note 9 4G. Official teasers released by Redmi India suggest the phone features a quad-camera setup on the back, as opposed to the triple-camera setup on the Redmi Note 9 4G.
The Redmi 9 Power will rival some of the best cheap Android phones currently on sale in the country, including Realme Narzo 20, Moto G9 Power, and Samsung's Galaxy M11.
