There are new Xiaomi Redmi 9s in town: these are the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T and the Redmi 9T. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T, the first in its series to have 5G connectivity, if we take into account the versions launched in the West, and the Redmi 9T is the famous Chinese Redmi Note 9 4G. With them, Xiaomi launched eight Xiaomi Redmi 9 models in Europe, and 14 models in total, including versions from other countries.

With so many ninth generation Redmis, it’s easy to lose track of who’s who, who’s better, and how they differ from each other. To make your job easier, we pit all Xiaomi Redmi 9 against each other, telling you what they have in common and how they differ.

Large family, great confusion

We are used to mobile phone manufacturers launching different variations of the same terminal or series, although Xiaomi seems to have grown too fond of Redmi series number nine. The number of mobiles launched by Xiaomi under a name of Redmi 9 is somewhat exaggerated, even by the standards of Chinese brands in general and Xiaomi in particular.

With the new Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T and Redmi 9T, it’s already gone eight Redmi 9 arrived in Europe, and that’s without counting the Xiaomi Redmi 9 AT for operators, with a different last name but the same specifications. The first to arrive were the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 and Redmi Note 9 Pro, in March of last year, followed by the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 in April and the Xiaomi Redmi 9, 9A and 9C already in June. Seven months later, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T and the Redmi 9T arrived. Here are all the Redmi 9s for sale in Europe:

As if that weren’t enough, if we open up our views and include the rest of the Xiaomi Redmi 9 models that the company has showcased and launched outside our borders, the list grows even more. These are all Xiaomi Redmi 9 that Xiaomi has released in total:

Taking into account that several of the previous terminals are other renowned terminals, we will only take into account in our comparison terminals launched in Europe. There are eight of them at the moment, and while they have a lot in common, they also have quite a few differences.

With so many similar terminals, with similar names and in similar price ranges, the confusion is evident. East almost impossible to remember the differences between them head-on, and with the evolution of the prices of offers and promotions, sometimes the most expensive is not always the most complete. A mess for consumers, marketers and why not say it, tech writers. Xiaomi, already enough.

LCD screens for everyone, piercing for some

Xiaomi’s Redmi series focuses on entry-level and mid-range, lines that often go hand in hand with LCD panels. If all Redmi 9s have something in common, it is in the use of a 60Hz standard LCD displayEither 6.53 inch, or 6.67 inch, a slight difference in size.

As for the notch, we have two sides: the Redmi 9 has a teardrop-shaped notch, while The Redmi Note 9 includes the perforated front camera. Now they don’t agree: Redmi Note 9s and 9 Pro centered it; Redmi Note 9 and 9T, on one side.

Snapdragon, MediaTek and only one with 5G

Xiaomi does not marry anyone when it comes to choosing which processors to include in their mobiles. Unsurprisingly, the most basic models include MediaTek’s Helio processors: G25 and G35 for the Redmi 9A and 9C respectively; Helio G80 and G85 for the Redmi 9 and Redmi Note 9. The new Redmi 9T runs a bit on its own, with the Snapdragon 662 on board.
