Xiaomi introduced three Redmi Note 9 phones back in March, followed by three more in November but the latter trio was designated for the local market. Or that’s what we thought - apparently, the Chinese company is planning to launch them online under new names.
According to two listings on Google Play
Console, the Xiaomi Mi 10i and Xiaomi Redmi 9 Power are on their way but the
model numbers match with the freshly introduced Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G and Redmi
Note 9 4G.
The company obviously cannot relaunch the
Redmi Note 9 4G under the same name because a device with its name is already
well-selling across the world. It will carry the Power moniker for a very
simple reason - this is the first Redmi device with a 6,000 mAh battery which
also brings 18W fast-charging along the way and 2.5W reverse wired charging.
The Xiaomi department, responsible for the
naming of the phones, have gone completely off the rails. Currently, we have
more than a dozen Redmi 9 and Redmi Note 9 monikers, with some matching across
markets, but others taking an entirely different approach.
