There are a lot of similarities between the Xiaomi Mi 9T and Mi 9T Pro. Out of their respective boxes you can not tell the difference because both phones sport the same 6.39-inch full-HD+ display, and integrate the same camera setups as well.
In this post I will show the difference between Xiaomi Mi 9T and Mi 9T Pro?. This post could also be retitled as The Difference Between Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro because Xiaomi in recent years has formed a habit of giving one product, two different names for its two different markets.
Here’s what I’m trying to say, It’s Redmi K20/Pro for the Asian market particularly in China and India while Mi 9T/Pro for the Global Market which of course includes Nigeria.
The Redmi K20 and the Redmi K20 Pro was launched in India yesterday and it would take the smartphone industry by it’s neck with it’s super affordable price, superbly impressive specs and great looks.
Xiaomi Nigeria posted a tweet sometime last week, whetting our appetite with a supposed new product launch which I think is the Mi 9T but we haven’t heard from them since then. If you ask me, I can’t wait for the Mi 9T to be launched in Nigeria just as the Redmi Note 7 was launched when Xiaomi officially launched in Nigeria.
In digging out the difference, the first and most obvious one will have to be the price, storage and specifications.
