Redmi Note 9 Pro (Global)

If you’d noticed that we specified “Global” for this version for the reason that the Redmi Note 9 Pro global variant is essentially the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max from india with a few notable difference only for its new Tropical Green color variant where the main camera on the back sits on a square module. It also worth to note that the back panel has a semi-two-tone finish where a quarter part of the top has glossy finish while the rest is matte.

The main camera module for the Redmi Note 9 Pro global variant has the same sensors as its Indian counterpart with a 64 Megapixel main sensor and joined by a 8 Megapixel Ultra Wide, 5 Megapixel macro shooter and a 2 Megapixel depth sensor.

On the front, the handset comes with a 6.67-inch Full-HD+ IPS Display and has a centrally located punch hole on top that houses the 16 Megapixel front camera.

The Redmi Note 9 Pro (Global) is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G processor and comes with 6GB of RAM and either 64GB or 128GB of expandable internal storage.
