Xiaomi Redmi 9A has been confirmed to launch on September 2 in India. Earlier, there were rumours that Xiaomi will launch the Redmi 9i as a rebranded version of the Redmi 9A in India, however, it seems like the company has decided not to go that way and is gearing up to launch the Redmi 9A in India.
The Redmi 9A was launched back in July 2020 alongside Redmi 9 and Redmi 9C. The Redmi 9 was launched as Redmi 9 Prime in India while the Redmi 9C was rebranded as Redmi 9 for India. Xiaomi has posted a tweet revealing the launch date of the Redmi 9A in India and has also gone live with a dedicate event page on its website. Now that the Redmi 9A is confirmed to launch in India, let’s take a look at the specifications, features and expected pricing of the Redmi 9A.
