Update, July 9, 2020 (10:45 AM ET): Today, Xiaomi issued the above teaser image (h/t Fone Arena) that pretty much confirms the Redmi Note 9 is coming to India. The country already saw the Pro and Pro Max variants of this device, but now there will be a cheaper option.

Unfortunately, Xiaomi doesn't give any specific details on when the Redmi Note 9 will land in the country, just saying it's "coming soon." However, the teaser image above does appear to confirm it will land on Amazon when it does. We'll update this article once we are certain of the launch date!


Original article: April 20, 2020 (03:41 AM ET): Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 9 Pro and Note 9 Pro Max in India last month, offering capable budget phones for the price. Now, the firm has launched the Note 9 series in Europe.

Unfortunately, the Note 9 Pro Max hasn't made its way outside India, but European consumers do get the Note 9 Pro and the vanilla Note 9.

In the UK, we have some more specific pricing. The Note 9 starts at £179 (~$225) for the 3GB/64GB model and £199 (~$250) for the 4GB/128GB option. Meanwhile, the Redmi Note 9 Pro will set you back £249 (~$313) for the 6GB/64GB option and £269 (~$338) for the 6GB/128GB variant. As stated earlier, the Note 9 Pro Max is still only in India.
