Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi has announced 2 new phones in Europe. The devices are called the Redmi Note 9T and Redmi 9T, and are rebranded versions of the Redmi Note 9 5G and Note 9 4G that debuted about a month ago in China.
The Redmi Note 9T features a 6.53-inches LCD Full HD+ display with a 13MP punch-hole camera that has an f/2.25 aperture. The phone is equipped with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The Note 9T runs on MIUI 12 based on Android 10 and is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 800U processor clocked at 2.4GHz.
Unlike the Note 9 5G which has 6GB/8GB of RAM, the Redmi Note 9T only has 4GB of RAM. And instead of 128GB/256GB of storage, the new device has 64GB/128GB, with 256GB of expandable memory via a microSD card slot as opposed to 512GB on the Chinese variants.
The Note 9T is backed by a 5,000 mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging over a USB Type-C port. The main camera set up on the device is slightly different as well. The primary lens is a 48MP sensor with an f/1.79 aperture, 0.8μm pixel size and a FOV 79°, and it is accompanied by a 2MP depth sensor that has an f/2.4 aperture, and a 2MP Macro lens, with 1.75μm pixel size and an LED Flash. The Redmi Note 9T is a 5G capable device.
