The new Redmi 9A features a design reminiscent of older devices in the series and is powered by the MediaTek G25 chip.

In the camera department, the device packs in a single 13MP f/2.2 camera on the back and a 5MP f/2.2 selfie shooter over on the front. As mentioned earlier, the device features a massive 5,000mAh battery that includes support for 10W fast charging using the included charging brick. In terms of ports, the device includes a micro USB port for charging and data syncing, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack. The device doesn’t include a fingerprint sensor, but it does support face unlock using the selfie camera.

The Redmi 9C, on the other hand, features a slightly different design with a square camera module on the back, instead of the vertically oriented camera module found on the Redmi 9A, and it’s powered by the MediaTek Helio G35 chip. The device includes the same 6.53-inch HD+ display (1600×720 pixels) with a waterdrop style notch, up to 4GB of LPDDR4x RAM, and up to 64GB of eMMC 5.1 storage.

Much like the Redmi 9A, the Redmi 9C features a 5,000mAh battery with support for 10W fast charging using the included charger. In terms of ports, the device features a micro USB port for charging and data syncing, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack.
