Agarwal also claims that the Redmi Note 9 Pro will be offered in three vibrant colour variants--Aurora Blue, Glacier White and Interstellar Black.

It can be noted that the Snapdragon 720G will come with NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation) chipset, which uses the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)'s geostationary satellites in the Earth's orbit to offer accurate real-time positioning and timing services on mobiles. Currently, there are seven satellites, but ISRO is planning to add four more in the coming years.

The interesting thing about the NavIC is that its location service accuracy is close to 5 to 10 meters compared to GPS, which has around 20-meter range accuracy.

However, there is no word on the generic Redmi Note 9 model. But, it will come with watered down specifications and is likely to be priced around Rs 9,000-Rs 12,000 range.

We will know for sure, what features the Redmi Note 9 series will come with, on March 12.
