  • The Redmi 9 has leaked via an online retailer in the Philippines.
  • The retailer listing includes loads of marketing images and specs.
  • Expect a quad rear camera, a big battery, and a relatively beefy SoC for the price.



Xiaomi’s Redmi phones are the go-to budget Android phones for millions of users around the world, and the company is set to reveal the Redmi 9 series later this month.

We’ve already seen Redmi 9 series leaks covering four phones, but a new leak via a retailer in the Philippines (h/t: Sudhanshu) has now detailed the Redmi 9 itself.

The listing on Lazada.com.ph gives us official-looking renders for starters, and it shows us a phone with a rear design that bears a strong resemblance to the Redmi K30 (or Poco X2 in India). There’s a circular camera hump along with three vertically aligned rear cameras, but we also see a tiny camera sensor next to the flash. Finally, a fingerprint scanner can be found on the back too.

Otherwise, the front of the Redmi 9 looks like any other budget phone really, showing a waterdrop notch rather than a punch-hole cutout or pop-up selfie camera.

The store listing also offers a ton of specs and seemingly official marketing graphics (seen above). The graphics and spec listing all point to a MediaTek Helio G80 chipset, contrary to earlier reports of a Helio G70 SoC. You can expect an octacore CPU (2x Cortex-A75 and 6x Cortex-A55), and a Mali-G52 MC2 GPU. In fact, the marketing material points to a big leap over the Redmi 8, which lacked heavy lifting CPU cores.

Other notable specs listed on the store include a 6.53-inch FHD+ screen, 3GB or 4GB of RAM, 32GB of 64GB of storage, and a 5,020mAh battery with 18W charging.
