The recently released Redmi K20 and K20 Pro flagships are already wreaking havoc in the chinese market, because these two pretty quickly became the best price/performance ratio phones currently available. The global community has to wait until June 12th though, because then the phones rebranded as Xiaomi Mi 9T / Mi 9T Pro are going to be out with global ROM and for example with some extra LTE bands important for european customers. And the TradingShenzhen website already has them listed for very tempting prices.
Or we should rather say they have the basic Xiaomi Mi 9T version listed either with 64 GB or 128 GB of internal storage. As you know the phone features 6,39-inch AMOLED display, Snapdragon 730 processor, 6 GB RAM, triple rear cameras with Sony 48MP + 13MP+8MP sensors, 20MP selfie pop-up camera, 4000 mAh battery capacity with 18W fast charge, dual GPS chip, in-display fingeprint scanner, Bluetooth 5.0, MIUI 10 system based on Android 9 Pie. Not bad at all.
Gizchina News of the week
Both versions of Xiaomi Mi 9T will be available right away starting on June 12th for € 357 and € 387 respectively and of course already with the Global firmware. But the best part for the European customers comes with the fact, that the delivery will be made from a German warehouse, so that means zero taxes and import tariffs within EU. Expect some major sales when these models hit the global markets in full force.
Don’t bet on the Mi 9T Pro being announced on the 12th.
All the leaked certifications around SE Asia and Europe listed only a single model, namely the Mi 9T.
Also all the online retailers in China and Europe that currently list the Mi 9T only list that model, none, so far, are listing any Mi 9T models with the SD855.
Maybe there has been some truth to the rumour of the Pocophone F2 and that will be a rebranded K20 Pro after all, to be released globally at a later date.
