Xiaomi Redmi 9 listed online, leaking renders and major specs
August 18, 2025
Xiaomi’s Redmi phones are the go-tobudget Android phonesfor millions of users around the world, and the company is set to reveal the Redmi 9 series later this month.
We’ve already seenRedmi 9 series leakscovering four phones, but a new leak via a retailer in the Philippines (h/t:Sudhanshu) has now detailed the Redmi 9 itself.
The listing onLazada.com.phgives us official-looking renders for starters, and it shows us a phone with a rear design that bears a strong resemblance to theRedmi K30(orPOCO X2in India). There’s a circular camera hump along with three vertically aligned rear cameras, but we also see a tiny camera sensor next to the flash. Finally, a fingerprint scanner can be found on the back too.
Otherwise, the front of the Redmi 9 looks like any other budget phone really, showing a waterdrop notch rather than a punch-hole cutout or pop-up selfie camera.
The store listing also offers a ton of specs and seemingly official marketing graphics (seen above). The graphics and spec listing all point to aMediaTekHelio G80 chipset, contrary to earlier reports of a Helio G70 SoC. You can expect an octacore CPU (2x Cortex-A75 and 6x Cortex-A55), and a Mali-G52 MC2 GPU. In fact, the marketing material points to a big leap over theRedmi 8, which lacked heavy lifting CPU cores.
Other notable specs listed on the store include a 6.53-inch FHD+ screen, 3GB or 4GB of RAM, 32GB of 64GB of storage, and a 5,020mAh battery with 18W charging.
The Redmi 9 listing also shows a quad rear camera setup, featuring a 13MP main sensor, 8MP ultra-wide lens, 5MP macro camera, and 2MP depth sensor. An 8MP camera apparently handles selfies and face unlock.
Other specs touted on the page include anIR blaster,3.5mm port, USB-C connectivity, and three colorways (purple, green, grey). The device is listed at a discounted price of 7,350 Philippine pesos (~$147), although the shop suggests the standard price is 8,888 Philippine pesos (~$178).
