If you’re looking to get a budget-friendly phone, this deal may pique your interest. On 9 September this Thursday, the Redmi 9C will go for as low as RM299, making it one of the most affordable Android phones in the market now.

This is an official deal by Xiaomi Malaysia itself. On 9 September, the 32GB + 2GB variant of the Redmi 9C will go for only RM299 (RM100 discount), while the 64GB + 3GB configuration will retail at RM399 (RM80 off). This deal will be available on Shopee and Lazada.

For that kind of money, the Redmi 9C offers a MediaTek Helio G35 octa-core processor clocked at 2.3GHz. Fabricated on a 12nm process, it should be power-efficient enough to allow the 9C to return respectable battery life. After all, it’s packing a very generous 5,000mAh battery.

Moving on to the camera, the Redmi 9C has a triple camera system made up of a 13MP f/2.2 primary camera, a 2MP f/2.4 macro shooter, and a 2MP f/2.4 depth sensor. Not the most sophisticated camera system, but it should do in a pinch, especially for a phone at this price point.

Other specifications of the Redmi 9C include a 6.53-inch 1600 x 720 display, a 5MP f/2.2 front camera, as well as a rear fingerprint sensor.

To recap, you can grab the Redmi 9C from only RM299 this Thursday on 9 September from Shopee and Lazada.
