This is because there are currently only two devices that have been officially announced under the Redmi Note 9 series. Both of these devices which are the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max and Redmi Note 9 Pro were just announced in India earlier this week. Even during the Redmi Note 8 series era, there was no such “S” model as well. Hence, we have no knowledge of the hardware that Xiaomi have packed into its new Redmi Note 9S or even its intended market segment. There is a possibility that this phone could be just the Malaysian variant of either devices that the company has just launched in India. Well, guess we just have to wait for the announcement on 23 March. (Source: Xiaomi Malaysia.)
