Xiaomi Redmi 9 Power Specifications:

The Redmi 9 power sport an all-plastic built budget device. It features a 6.53 inch IPS LCD panel with an FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. It has an aspect ratio of 19.5:9 and will be protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. In terms of processing power, it is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor, which is a lower mid-range processor built on the 11nm manufacturing process. It is an octa-core processor with four Kryo 260 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz and 4 Kryo 260 cores clocked at 1.8 GHz. The device comes with Android 10 out of the box with MIUI 12 running on top.

Coming to the cameras, It sports a triple camera setup at the back, which features a 48MP primary sensor with an f/1.8 lens, an 8MP ultrawide sensor(120 degrees field of view) with an f/2.2 lens, and a 2MP depth sensor with an f/2.4 lens. Coming to the front, It has a single 8MP sensor with an f/2.0 lens, which will be housed in a waterdrop style notch at the top.

The device comes with three RAM variants of the phone with the standard starting at 4GB, which will have internal storage of 128GB. Then we also get a 6GB and an 8GB variant with 128GB of internal storage. And finally, the top variant will have 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. There is a dedicated slot for MicroSD expansion, though, so even the standard storage of 128GB should be enough for most people.
