Here’s everything we know about the Redmi 9 series so far:
Leaked live images
Live images of the upcoming Redmi 9 have surfaced online, revealing some key aspects of its design.

The device will also feature a fourth sensor within a separate module with the LED flash. Both the primary and secondary camera modules are within a circular design element on the back, which looks to have a different finish compared to the rest of the back panel.

The Redmi 9C, on the other hand, will be available in two variants — with and without NFC — and will be powered by the MediaTek Helio G35, coupled with 3GB RAM and 64GB storage.

Several Geekbench listings for “lancelot” corroborate these specifications and further reveal that at least one model of the device will have 3GB of RAM. Kacskrz also revealed that he has spotted evidence of an EEA/RU firmware for “lancelot,” which means that the device might be launched internationally.
