Redmi 9 Prime - Helio G80 processor, quad cameras, 5020mAh battery - Android

Albeit, don’t get too excited as the Redmi 9 Prime appears to be a rebranded model of the Redmi 9 that we already have in the Philippines and other markets.

This device is powered by the same MediaTek Helio G80 octa-core processor, with 4GB of RAM and an option between 64GB and 128GB of expandable storage.

We still have the 6.53-inch FHD+ screen on the front, a quad-camera setup on the back, and a large 5,020mAh battery on the inside. So to set it apart from the Redmi 9, the Prime model has a new Sunrise Flare color option, joining the existing Matte Black, Mint Green, and Space Blue color options. You can check the specs list below.
