Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 launch in India teased on Twitter

Xiaomi is gearing up to add another smartphone to its Redmi lineup. The company unveiled the Redmi Note 9 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max earlier this year and is now readying another Redmi Note series phone to its existing lineup.

While there is no confirmation of the device in question, we expect it to be the vanilla Redmi Note 9 as it is the only smartphone missing from the list.
