Redmi Note 9 is getting a new Shadow Black colour option in India
Redmi Note 9 is getting a new Shadow Black colour option in India. Launched in the country in June, Redmi Note 9 initially came in three colour variants – Aqua Green, Arctic White, and Pebble Grey. A fourth colour option – Scarlet Red – was introduced right before the Amazon Prime Day sale kicked off in August. Now, a fifth colour option is added to the pocket-friendly smartphone from the Xiaomi sub-brand. Redmi Note 9 comes with a quad rear camera setup that is highlighted by a 48-megapixel primary camera.
The Redmi Note 9’s Shadow Black colour option is not entirely new. A similar colour option, called Onyx Black, was launched for the phone’s global variant back in August. The same shade is being launched in India now, rebranded as Shadow Black.
