Redmi teases new devices - Redmi 9, Redmi Note 9 series incoming - Android

The Redmi brand is synonymous with quality budget phones, offering plenty of bang for your buck. We’ve already seen the Redmi 8 and Redmi Note 8 series in the second half of 2019, but it looks like we could get more devices very soon.

Xiaomi global vice-president Manu Kumar Jain has teased the imminent launch of new Redmi devices on Twitter. We also get a video that doesn’t tell us much, save for the fact that the devices are “coming soon.”

#Redmi has always been synonymous with POWER!

Power-packed phones
Powerful processors
Powerful user experience

I’m excited for the things @RedmiIndia will be bringing in 2020! #Redmi2020#MorePowerToRedmi is almost here. Can you guess what is this? #Xiaomi pic.twitter.com/6rDu9QAQ3Q

The tweet and video clearly don’t give us many clues, but February 2019 saw the Indian launch of the Redmi Note 7 series. Going by this timetable, we therefore expect the Xiaomi sub-brand to launch the Redmi Note 9 family.

We’re not quite sure what to expect from the Redmi Note 9 series, but the Redmi Note 8 offered a 48MP quad rear camera setup and a Snapdragon 665 processor. Meanwhile, the Pro model delivered a 64MP quad rear camera combo and Helio G90T processor.

Redmi K30 Pro: What we know so far

Towards the end of 2019, Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi launched the Redmi K30. The 4G version of the device hit stores not long afterward, while the 5G variant entered the pre-order stage in early January. Now, …

We also saw the Redmi 7 series launching in China back in March 2019, before coming to India in April 2019. So there’s a chance we could see the Redmi 9 series — either as part of the Note family launch or on its own.

91Mobiles reported that the Redmi 9 will offer the new MediaTek Helio G70 processor, citing industry sources. This would make for a major upgrade over the Redmi 8’s Snapdragon 439 chipset, offering more powerful CPU cores and a better GPU.
