Multiple teasers and leaks have already revealed plenty about Xiaomi’s next mid-range smartphones, as we have reported. The devices have been seen on Geekbench too, but now photos of the devices and their packaging have been published online. The pictures confirm that Xiaomi will announce the Redmi Note 9 5G and Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G, but the company is expected to release a third device, too.
According to the leaked photos, the Redmi Note 9 5G and Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G will have 6,000 mAh batteries, giving them an advantage over many modern smartphones. A capacity of 6,000 mAh is also much larger than most of Xiaomi’s flagship smartphones, which typically have 4,000 mAh or 5,000 mAh cells.
Additionally, the leaks confirm that the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G has a 108 MP primary camera, making it the first Redmi handset to use such a high megapixel sensor. A few Xiaomi smartphones have 108 MP cameras, but none as cheap as the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G, which is thought to launch for CNY 3,000 (~US$456).
The Redmi Note 9 5G will arrive with MediaTek’s Dimensity 800U chipset, while the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G will have Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 750G. Moreover, the Pro model should have a 6.67-inch and 120 Hz display, four rear-facing cameras and even a 3.5 mm headphone jack. We would expect the regular Redmi Note 9 5G to have the latter component too, though.
