So far, this is only an assumption.
Sketches from the new patent, which was registered by Xiaomi, appeared on the Web. In these sketches, we see several design options for new smartphones equipped with a dual front camera. The location of the selfie camera is different.
This may look like Redmi Note 9. There are new sketches
In the first version, the camera is located in the central upper part of the screen, in the second – in the upper right corner, in the third – in the upper left corner. Moreover, in the latter case, it is also assumed that the camera modules can be located not only horizontally, but also vertically.
On the rear panel, you can see the main camera unit, the modules of which are located vertically. In general, the design resembles last year’s Redmi Note 8, under the camera is a fingerprint sensor. It is possible that this will be the unannounced Redmi Note 9 so far, but this is just an assumption.
The bottom panel shows a cutout for the speaker, as well as a USB-C connector and a standard 3.5 mm jack for headphones.
