Update as of January 27, 2021 – Redmi 9T will become available for purchase via Lazada, Shopee, and authorized retail stores on January 29, 2021. On the same day, online buyers will get a P500 discount.
As anticipated, the latest entry-level king phone from Xiaomi is now up for purchases starting January 15th. You can get the Redmi 9T through Xiaomi’s official Global store on Lazada and Shopee for as low as Php6,490 for the 4GB/64GB as part of the early bird promo. The suggested retail prices, however, are Php6,990 and Php7,990 for the 6GB/128GB model. Although the device is shipping from China, all models are of global ROM, which means you get all Google apps and services.
Based on the listing, the Redmi 9T comes in Gray, Blue, Orange, and Green colors. You can think of the device as a POCO M3 with a different design, more RAM, and an ultrawide lens. We suggest reading our POCO M3 review that’s linked below to gauge the performance of the Redmi 9T. The rest of the specs are pretty much the same — Snapdragon 662, UFS storage, 6.53″ FHD+ IPS LCD, stereo speakers, and 6000mAh battery.
