Xiaomi launched its latest smartphone, the next-gen Redmi Note 9T, on Friday, and it appears to be no different. The budget handset has several premium features including dual stereo speakers, a 48-megapixel main camera, and fast charging (18W). The company says its 5,000-mAh battery has a "multiday" lifespan.
Also new to the Xiaomi Redmi Note line (for the world outside China, at least) is 5G. Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 9 5G line earlier, but that series was only available in China. With the Redmi Note 9T line, Xiaomi is expanding that affordable 5G experience to overseas shoppers. However, it's unlikely these smartphones will arrive stateside, even though the company's sales are growing quickly in parts of Europe and Africa.
The Chinese smartphone-maker is able to save on costs by building the 9T with an LCD display and a midrange processor in the form of the Mediatek's Dimensity 800U chipset. The Redmi Note 9T also has dual-SIM capabilities and an IR blaster like its predecessor.
Pricing details aren't available at the time of writing, we do know that the Note 9 5G, the Chinese model of the device that launched late last year, started at 1,299 yuan (approximately $200, £150 or AU$ 260) for the variant with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage.
