Redmi Note 9 Pro was out of stock in just 90 seconds in first sale on Amazon India, Xiaomi claims. The phone was on sale on Mi.com, Mi Home and Mi Studio stores as well. Xiaomi India chief Manu Kumar Jain has announced that the Redmi Note 9 Pro will go on sale once again on March 24 next week. Key features of the Redmi Note 9 Pro include Snapdragon 720G SoC, and a 5,020mAh large battery. The phone is available in Aurora Blue, Glacier White, and Interstellar Black colour options.
