Of course, the Redmi Note 9 Pro was launched in India back in March itself, but it was not a 5G phone. In fact, the Redmi Note 9 Pro and the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G are very different in terms of design and specifications. We take a look at how the Redmi Note 9 Pro compares to the new Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G.
