In China, there is already talk that the Redmi Note 9 series could be unveiled within days, with two new 5G-capable family members. Although neither Redmi's Weibo channel nor even Lu Weibing has hinted at it, we can only rely on rumours.

The price of the Redmi Note 9 5G is rumoured to be quite good, with the 4/64 version available for around 1,000 Yuan ~ 45,000 HUF in China, which is an absolutely good price for this phone. You don't have to pay too much for the larger memory and back, but I wouldn't go into speculation.

The Pro will be bigger not only in terms of internal features like the processor or camera, but also in size. Although many people are nowadays bashing LCD screens, the company probably prefers colour accuracy and a professional display rather than the expensive AMOLED technology that has become a fashionable trend in the present day. For these features, the company could theoretically charge 1,500 Yuan ~ 68,000 Ft, but we'll find out soon enough.
A couple of weeks after the phones are released, we might have some information on whether they will come to Europe to give everyone a cheap 5G phone. Stay tuned!
