Redmi Note 9 might feature Helio P75 instead, not Helio G70

Recently, the alleged Redmi Note 9 has appeared on Geekbench with a "Xiaomi Merlin" codename.

MediaTek Helio powered Redmi Note 9

The first MediaTek Helio P75 powered smartphone?

The handset comes with the MT6769V/CZ which is suspected to be a modified MediaTek Helio G70 octa-core processor. But according to new reports, the said chip is not the G70. Instead, it'll be a new MediaTek chipset dubbed as Helio P75.

Xiaomi Merlin is believed to be the Redmi Note 9

Compared to the Helio G70, the Helio P75 comes with 1.8GHz base frequency, not 1.7GHz. It is said to be the chip that will sit in between P70 and P90 chips.

Coming from the Redmi Note 8 with the Snapdragon 665 chip, the possible Helio P75 could be the slightly better chip.

However, it doesn't look that much better than the Helio G70 with similar benchmark scores.

Let's wait and see. The Redmi Note 9 phones will be revealed today March 12, 2020, in an online event in India.
