Pricing and Availability of Redmi Note 9
Redmi Note 9 base variant 3 GB + 64 GB, priced at $ 199 (Approx ₹ 14,950) whereas 4 GB + 128 GB variant got the pricing of $ 249 (Approx ₹ 18,700).
Xiaomi Global announced that these devices will be available from Mid-May.
We can expect Note 9 price to be lower than the global price in India. And we can also expect from Xiaomi to get Note 9 in Indian market next month, i.e., May. Brand may have launched Note 9 in India before the global entry but CoVID-19 has created a lot of problems and Indian Government has't allowed the sale of smartphones till now.
