Xiaomi has launched the Redmi 9T, alongside the Redmi Note 9T 5G for the global market today. The Redmi 9T comes with a number of value-adding features for a very competitive starting price.
Starting with the screen, the Redmi 9T is built around a 6.53-inch IPS LCD of 1080p resolution, just like the more expensive Redmi Note 9T 5G.
As a matter of fact, the camera of the Redmi 9T is better than the Redmi Note 9T 5G with the same main 48MP f/1.8 camera and pair of 2MP macro and depth sensors, but with a fourth 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide shooter. The selfie camera is an 8MP one.
The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 662 with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM. You get a choice of 64GB or 128GB of storage.
The Redmi 9T brings an even bigger battery than the Redmi Note 9T 5G – a 6,000mAh unit with the same 18W charging speed. Xiaomi claims up to 4 years of reliability and multiple days on a single charge from it.
Like the Redmi Note 9T 5G, the Redmi 9T has an infrared sensor, 3.5mm headphone jack and optional NFC.
