Xiaomi's sub-brand also announced the
Redmi Note 9 Pro today. The main differences are in the camera and charging
speeds. The Redmi Note 9 Pro has a 16MP selfie snapper - half the resolution of
its Max sibling and around the back, the main camera is downgraded to 48MP from
64MP. It's joined by an 8MP ultrawide, 5MP macro and 2MP depth sensor modules,
like the Note 9 Pro Max.
The Redmi Note 9 Pro, like the Note 9 Pro
Max, packs a 5,020 mAh battery, but it supports 18W charging instead of 33W.
However, for the most part the Redmi Note 9 Pro matches its higher standing
sibling. It's built around the same 6.67" LCD of FHD+ resolution and
powered by the same 8nm Snapdragon 720G SoC. You also get the side-mounted
fingerprint reader and splash-proof body.
The Redmi Note 9 Pro is offered in Aurora
Blue, Glacier White and Interstellar Black colors, and it comes in two memory
versions - 4GB/64GB priced at INR 12,999 (US$ 175/€ 155) and 6GB/128GB that costs
INR 15,999 (US$ 215/€ 190).
The Note 9 Pro will go on sale in India
starting March 17 through the company's official site, Mi Home, Mi Studio and
Amazon.in. It will also be sold through retail stores across the country later.
