Xiaomi offshoot Redmi is set to unveil the
Redmi 9 Prime in India on August 4, and the phone has now been confirmed to
pack a FullHD+ display. Word on the matter comes from Xiaomi India MD Manu Jain
through Twitter. The company has not revealed the full specs sheet of the Redmi
9 Prime yet, but the smartphone is said to be a rebranded Redmi 9 global
variant that was first announced in Spain back in June.
If that's true, you can expect the Redmi 9
Prime to have a Helio G80 SoC at the helm with the screen measuring 6.53"
diagonally. For photography, the Redmi 9 Prime will come with a total of five
cameras - an 8MP selfie shooter on the front with the 13MP primary camera on
the back joined by an 8MP ultrawide, 5MP macro and 2MP depth sensor units.
There will also be a fingerprint reader on the back for biometric
authentication.
The Redmi 9 Prime will ship with a 5,020
mAh battery that will draw power through a USB-C port at up to 18W, but it
remains to be seen if the company will bundle a 10W brick with the box or
delight customers with an 18W charger.
