Update: Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 to launch in India on March 12
Xiaomi has started teasing about its next Redmi Note phone for 2020, and it looks like Mi 10 might also make an entrance. The company's Redmi India Twitter handle posted a video of Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh who asked Manu Kumar Jain, Global VP, and India MD of Xiaomi about the Redmi Note 9.
In just about 2 minutes, Manu tweeted back with a picture of himself around a bunch of phones and hinted that the Redmi Note 9 was present in the image. Here's his tweet.
My main man @RanveerOfficial. Of course 9️⃣ ayega. And it'll be here very soon. 😎Legend says that it takes only 9️⃣ secs to spot the 9️⃣ in this photo! 😉Mi Fans, are you fast enough?

According to a recent report by 91Mobiles that cites industry sources, Xiaomi is preparing to launch the Mi 10 series alongside the Redmi 9 series in India, sometime by March 15. Keeping that in mind and considering Xiaomi's recent tease, it's possible that the company could announce the Redmi Note 9, Redmi 9, and Mi 10 together.
However, we're likely reading too much between the lines. Another report published in December 2019 states that the MediaTek Helio G70 chip powers the upcoming Redmi 9. This pits the successor of the Redmi 8 against the Realme C3 that incidentally is also powered by the same chip.
Currently, we don't have any information about the Redmi Note 9 series, but here's everything you should know about the Mi 10, Xiaomi's latest flagship phone.
