They are finally here! Today the official global launch of three new smartphones took place: Redmi Note 9 Pro, Redmi Note 9 and Mi Note 10 Lite. First, the Redmi Note 9s hit the market, which is a foretaste of the new series. We had to wait for over a month for the global debut of the other smartphones in this series, but it was definitely worth it.
The Redmi Note series is one of the most popular mid-shelf series on the market - the manufacturer not so long ago boasted that it has already sold over 110 million devices under it. Together with the latest representatives of the Redmi Note family, this result may soon be definitely better. Especially that we are dealing with models with a great design, with numerous innovations that are offered at attractive prices.
The online press conference has just ended, during which two new models in the Redmi Note 9 series and another representative of the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 series were presented - specifically the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite model.
