The Xiaomi Mi 9T which is only set to go official on
June 12 is already available for purchase in the Philippines. It's priced at
PHP 19,500 (US$ 377/€ 335) for the 6GB/64GB variant and PHP 20,500 (US$ 396/€ 353) for
the 6GB/128GB model.
However, we advise you against buying the Mi 9T
right now as it's sold by the resellers in the country's grey market, and isn't
available for purchase through official channels yet. The Mi 9T is a re-branded Redmi
K20 which was launched in China last week. It's powered by Snapdragon 730 SoC
and flaunts a 6.39-inch FHD+ notch-less AMOLED display. It boasts a triple
camera setup at the back and comes with a 20MP motorized unit which pops up
from the top.
Xiaomi is also expected to launch the Mi 9T Pro on
June 12 which will likely be a re-badged Redmi K20 Pro. This K20 duo is said to
debut in some markets as the Poco F2 and Poco F2 Pro, but in India, they will
arrive under the same moniker on July 15.
