Xiaomi goes global with the Redmi Note 9T 5G

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T 5G is now official and it's an almost a carbon copy of the China-only Redmi Note 9 5G with some small differences, which we'll detail.

Starting at the front, the Redmi Note 9T 5G has a 6.53-inch 1080p IPS LCD and a 13MP selfie camera with f/2.25 optics. The display tops out at 450 nits and has a standard 60Hz refresh rate, contrary to some rumors.

There are three cameras on the rear. The main one has a 48MP f/1.8 Quad-Bayer sensor. Unlike the Redmi Note 9 5G, the Redmi Note 9T 5G lacks an ultrawide camera but instead has two 2MP sensors - one for depth and another for macro shots.
