Back in March, Chinese manufacturer, Xiaomi, released the Redmi Note 9 Pro and the Pro Max model in India. While the Note 9 Pro went on sale a few days after launch, the Pro Max didn’t hit the shelve due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, Xiaomi has now announced that from May 12, the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max will be available for purchase in India. Recall that the Indian government recently relaxed the lockdown and non-essential items can now ship to certain areas designated “orange and green zones”.
