Redmi Note 9 series may get new models on November 11 celebrated as Singles’ Day in China, Xiaomi Vice President and General Manager of the Redmi brand Lu Weibing suggested through a teaser posted on Weibo on Monday. The Redmi Note 9 5G and Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G are expected to be among the new models in the Redmi Note 9 series. Both phones purportedly surfaced on TENAA last week. The rumour mill claimed that Xiaomi could launch as many as three new models in the Redmi Note 9 series, with one of which may feature a 108-megapixel primary camera sensor.
The teaser posted by Weibing doesn’t provide any clear details about the new models arriving in the Redmi Note 9 series. However, it does mention that the official announcement could take place on Singles’ Day on November 11.
If we look at past reports, the Redmi Note 9 series is tipped to be getting three new models, with one featuring Samsung’s ISOCELL HM2 sensor that has 108-megapixel resolution.
