Redmi 9: Expected specifications for India unit

The Xiaomi Redmi 9 is expected to launch with a 6.53-inch LCD display with HD+ resolution and a 20:9 aspect ratio, just like the Redmi 9C. It’ll ship with Android 10 OS-based MIUI 11 out-of-the-box. This one is a more affordable version, so it is likely to keep the MediaTek G35 octa-core SoC, just like the Redmi 9C Malaysia unit. For additional storage, the devices supports microSD card slot.
