Powering the device is a 5,000mAh battery and it charges via a microUSB port. A 10W charger is included in the box. The device is available in 3 colours – Granite Gray, Peacock Green and Sky Blue.

Redmi 9C

Meanwhile, the Redmi 9C is a slightly better version of the Redmi 9A. Although it shares a similar 6.53″ HD+ dot drop display it gets a better MediaTek Helio G35 that’s clocked at 2.3GHz.
