The Redmi Note 9S is the next Xiaomi phone, and it is launching on March 23. So far we have heard a lot about the Redmi Note 9S, thanks to the innumerable leaks and rumours making rounds on the internet. Just a few days ahead of the launch the Redmi Note 9S has now been spotted on Geekbench benchmarking site with all the key specs and performance score. Going in line with the past leaks, the Geekbench listing also suggests that the Note 9S could be a rebranded version of Redmi Note 9 Pro smartphone. For the unaware, Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 9 Pro smartphone in India a few days ago and it went on for sale earlier this week.

Redmi Note 9S to Run Android 10 Out of the Box
The benchmark listing reveals that the Redmi Note 9S will run on Android 10 OS. Like every Xiaomi phone, the company’s own MIUI skin will customise the software. The listing further reveals that the Redmi Note 9S will come packed with 6GB of RAM. We believe there will be other RAM models available too. The Geekbench listing notes “curtana” in the motherboard section.
To recall, the Redmi Note 9 Pro smartphone was also listed on Geekbench with the same curtana codenamed processor. This indirectly suggests that the Redmi Note 9S will come with Snapdragon 720G processor like the Redmi Note 9 Pro. Now, coming to the benchmark score. The Geekbench listing reveals that the Redmi Note 9S has managed to score 571 points in single-core and 1,780 in the multi-core test.
Having said that, until now, it looks like the Redmi Note 9S will sport the same specs sheet as the Redmi Note 9 Pro. Although, we will suggest taking this information with a pinch of salt. The Redmi Note 9S smartphone is all set to launch in Singapore on March 23 later this month. And to give a slight reference of what it could pack, here are the detailed specifications of the Redmi Note 9 device.
