CES 2021 | Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T with MediaTek Dimensity 800U aims to bring 5G to the masses

A few days ago, we reported about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T leaking in full. The Note 9T is essentially a rebadged Note 9 5G that was released in China back in November 2020. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 800U, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T aims to bring 5G into more affordable price brackets.

Xiaomi says that the Note 9T features multiple antennas, 4x4 MIMO, and can handle two 5G SIMs simultaneously. The company also claims that the combination of the Dimensity 800U and UFS 2.2 storage makes the Note 9T up to "100% faster" than the previous generation. The UFS 2.2 storage, however, comes only with the 4/128 GB option. Widevine L1 certification means users can play back Netflix and Amazon Prime videos in FHD resolution.

The Note 9T sports a 19.5:9 FHD+ 6.53-inch 450-nit "DotDisplay" with a pedestrian 60 Hz refresh rate and 84% NTSC covrage. A 48 MP + 2 MP + 2 MP  triple-camera setup and a 13 MP in-display selfie camera take care of the imaging aspects of the phone.

Powering the Xiaomi Note 9T is a 5,000 mAh cell that supports 18 W fast charging, which the company says can offer up to 3 days of usage. The device will run MIUI 12 based on Android 10.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T will be available in Nightfall Black and Daybreak Purple variants. It will be available in 4/64 GB and 4/128 GB options for €229.9 and €269.90, respectively.
