With these 3 new members, I just counted, 13 members of the Redmi 9 series, and that doesn't include the Redmi Note 9 series, here it is:
- Redmi 9
- Redmi 9 Indian version
- Redmi 9 Power
- Redmi 9 Prime
- Redmi 9A
- Redmi 9AT
- Redmi 9i
- Redmi 9C
- Redmi 9C NFC
- Redmi 9T
And the 3 new ones:
- Redmi 9A Sport
- Redmi 9i Sport
- Redmi 9 Activ
Of course, there are several of them that differ only in small ways, so that doesn't mean 13 separate devices, but still, it's grotesque. :D And meanwhile, anyway, we've the Redmi 10 series is out.
Redmi 9A and 9i Sport
There's no big difference, the Redmi 9A Sport and Redmi 9i Sport are one and the same as the models we saw in 2020, but there is one difference. Both have received a P2i coating. It's a water-repellent coating that makes the phone resistant to splashes of water or a drizzle of rain. And that's it, in addition to the now familiar method of re-releasing a popular phone with a virtually insignificant modification, as was done with the Redmi Note 8 or the Redmi 9C also in the case of.
Redmi 9 Activ
Is the Redmi 9 Activ a new device? No! It's also a re-released version, only it's based on the Redmi 9C or Redmi 9 India. It's also got a P2i coating, but there's also a new memory variant that packs 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The former is terribly needed with a Helio G35...
Prices for phones in India are as follows:
- Redmi 9A Sport: 6999 INR, ~29 thousand HUF
- Redmi 9i Sport: 8799 INR, ~37 thousand HUF
- Redmi 9 Activ 4/64 GB: 9499 INR, ~39 thousand HUF
- Redmi 9 Activ 6/128 GB: 11999 INR, ~ 50 thousand HUF
By the time I've managed to unravel the differences, my mind is blown and I ask again, why? I mean, the question is obviously rhetorical, because it's money, but still...
