Next is the Redmi Note 9 Pro. Geekbench revealed that earlier leaks and rumors are correct as it'll be powered by the 8nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chip.

Versus the Snapdragon 730G with 2x 2.2GHz Cortex-A76 cores (Kryo 470 Gold), the Snapdragon 720G comes with higher clocked 2x 2.3GHz Cortex-A76 cores (Kryo 465 Gold). SD720G also has Hexagon 692 DSP and Bluetooth 5.1 which is higher than SD730G.

The Note 9 Pro with 6GB RAM achieved a Single-Core Score of 569 and a Multi-Core Score of 1755.

Given those chips, the upcoming Redmi phones should be more than capable for their respective price points.
