Redmi 9 finally arrives in India.
Xiaomi has just announced the launch of its latest Redmi 9 smartphone in India. The smartphone is here to compete against the likes of the Realme C12, Samsung Galaxy M10s and more. In order to set a tough competition, the phone’s highlights include the Helio G35 processor, 4GB of RAM, dual rear camera setup and more.
Xiaomi has been playing around with the naming scheme quite a bit. The company recently launched the Redmi 9 globally but it was just a rebranded version of the Redmi 9 Prime. However, the Redmi 9 that arrived in India is basically a rebranded Redmi 9C.
