Now, the company has already launched a myriad of Redmi 9 series phones in India this year. The Redmi 9 Power will be the eighth device in the number series. It is said to be a rebadged version of Redmi Note 9 4G that was launched in China earlier last month. We already know the key specs and design of the Redmi Note 9 4G. So, here’s what you should expect:

Expected Specifications

Redmi 9 Power will arrive with a 6.53-inch Full-HD+ display with a 2340 x 1080-pixels resolution and 60Hz refresh rate. It will have Gorilla Glass 3 protection and an 8MP selfie sensor housed in a waterdrop notch up-top. The fingerprint sensor is mounted on the side and doubles as the power button.

Turning our attention to the shiny polycarbonate back panel, you will find a triple camera setup led by a 48MP primary camera. But, the Indian teaser suggests that Redmi 9 Power will come with four rear cameras. It will most likely be an 8MP ultra-wide, 2MP depth, and a 2MP macro lens.

Further, the smartphone will be powered by the Snapdragon 662 chipset. You will find up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage onboard. The highlight of the Redmi 9 Power will have to be the 6,000mAh battery and 18W fast-charging support. The device will be equipped with a USB Type-C port and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

It will be interesting to see where the Redmi 9 Power fits in Xiaomi’s number series portfolio in India. It will be priced higher than the Redmi 9 Prime, i.e more than Rs. 10,000.
