Wait, don't we have the Redmi Note 9 series in Malaysia already? Yes, you're right and China only recently got it (which was yesterday). You might also wonder how much better is their version than ours, well, sit back and allow us to brief you the tech specs. 

Starting with the Redmi Note 9 Pro, this highest variant packs a better Snapdragon 750G chipset, 6GB/8GB + 128GB/256GB memory capacity and a slightly lower 4820mAh battery than ours.

In addition, it has a 108MP (main) + 8MP (ultrawide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) quad rear camera and a 16MP front camera.
