Xiaomi officially took the wraps off the premium Mi 9T alongside the Mi Smart Band 4 and a couple of other products in Europe a few days back. The device is scheduled to go on sale on Monday next week. Xiaomi Mi 9T has been a regular in leaks and was strongly touted to be a rebadged Redmi K20. Is that true or false? What better way to find out if the two are the same devices than an official unboxing video by Xiaomi.
The official unboxing video posted on Xiaomi’s YouTube channel gives us a clear view of the features that come with the phone as well as what lies inside the box. Indeed, there is no doubt that the Redmi K20 and Mi 9T are similar in design.

The packaging box contains a free protective case as with all Xiaomi mid-range and flagship models. This is not the usual rubber case but is made of hardened plastic. The packaging box also contains the usual user manuals, an 18W charger and USB Type-C cable as well as a SIM tray ejector. 
The video also highlights the features of the phone such as the on-screen fingerprint sensor and the 20MP pop-up selfie cam. There is also a 4,000 mAh battery which Xiaomi claims can last up to two days of usage. At the rear, there is a triple camera setup. We wait to see the camera samples captured using the rear shooters.
The Mi 9T will come in Black, Blue and Red colours with the Blue and Red having a gradient finish but the black has a carbon fibre finish. As stated, the device will go on sale next Monday, June 17. As for the prices, the 6+64GB version starts at €329 ($370) while the 6+128GB variant goes for €369 ($415). Check out the unboxing video from below.
