The Redmi 9T is a series of Android smartphones from Redmi. It was introduced on January 8, 2021, together with the Redmi Note 9T. [5] [6] [7] In India, the 9T was introduced on December 17, 2020, as the Redmi 9 Power. [8] Also in China, on November 26, 2020, along with the Redmi Note 9 5G and Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G, the Redmi Note 9 4G was introduced, which is identical to the Redmi 9T and 9 Power except for the lack of a macro module. [9]

Also, on November 24, 2020, the company POCO, whose global office had just separated from Xiaomi, introduced the POCO M3, which is similar to the Redmi 9T model but with a different design, the absence of NFC in all markets, and an ultrawide-angle module. [10]

Design

The screen is made of Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The smartphone body is made of plastic and has a "wavy" texture on the Redmi 9T/9 Power and Redmi Note 9 4G, while the POCO M3 has a leather-like texture. [11]

The only design difference between the Redmi 9T/9 Power and the Redmi Note 9 4G is that the Redmi Note 9 4G has the inscription "AI" instead of the fourth camera module. In the POCO M3, the upper part has a black glossy insert with the brand logo, which extends almost the entire width of the back panel.

At the bottom is a USB-C port, a speaker, a microphone, and a 3.5mm audio jack. At the top, there's a second microphone and an IR blaster. On the left side, you'll find a slot for two SIM cards and a microSD memory card of up to 512GB. [12] On the right side, there are volume control buttons and the smartphone's power button, which also has a built-in fingerprint scanner.

There are several color options, depending on the model:
