Redmi 9 listed on Xiaomi's official site as launch nears

The Redmi 9 just popped up on Xiaomi's global RF certification page, confirming that the phone exists and its model number - M2004J19G.

A related model, the M2004J19C, is listed at the 3C with a 10W charger, though that would be a weird downgrade - both the Redmi 8 and the cheaper 8A support 18W charging. Anyway, these will be 4G phones, which probably comes as no surprise. Previous leaks showed a photo of the quad camera on the back of the phone, which...

All of them seem to have the exact same dimensions of 163.8 x 75.8 x 8.9mm, which, coincidentally, or rather not, match-up perfectly with the existing Realme X50m 5G. Same goes for the reported weight of the RMX2142 and the...
