What’s Your Opinion?

Recently, the Chinese company rebranded the same Redmi 9A as Redmi 9i by upgrading the RAM to 4GB. Henceforth, the Redmi 9i 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM is priced at ₹8299 and the Redmi 9i 4GB RAM + 128GB ROM is priced at ₹9299.

Going by the recent rebranding work, Xiaomi will definitely release the 6GB RAM variant as Redmi 9i.

Do you think that anyone would be interested in spending $145 on Redmi 9A or Redmi 9i (with Helio G25 and single-camera) when they get a better phone in the same budget?

In fact, Xiaomi has already got many good smartphones in its lineup rather than spending for 6GB RAM.
