Redmi Note 9 Pro Max is going on sale once again today. The smartphone is still only available in India via flash sales. The pandemic has created several issues in production causing shortages in stock. The Redmi Note 9 Pro Max was launched in India in March, but its first sale was delayed by months due to the coronavirus lockdown. The sale then commenced in May, and the phone has been on flash sale ever since. The phone even saw a price hike in the middle due to the increase of GST rate on smartphones.
The Redmi Note 9 Pro Max is priced in India starting at Rs. 16,999 for the 6GB RAM + 64GB storage option. The 6GB RAM + 128GB storage option is priced at Rs. 18,499, while the 8GB RAM + 128GB model continues to retail at Rs. 19,999. The phone has seen two price hikes since launch, and it is now up to Rs. 2,000 more expensive than its original launch price.
Redmi Note 9 Pro Max sale will begin at 12pm (noon) IST and will be available via Amazon and Mi.com. It will be available in three colour options — Aurora Blue, Glacier White, and Interstellar Black. Sale offers include Airtel double data benefits with Rs. 298 and Rs. 398 unlimited packs.
