What is included in the kit Xiaomi Redmi Note 9: the full list + how to check the originality

Why it’s important to know what should be in the box with the Redmi Note 9

When buying a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 smartphone — especially from hand or in unofficial stores — the first step to verifying its authenticity begins with a complete set of analysis. The manufacturer strictly regulates what should be included in the standard package, and any deviations can signal a fake, repackaging or unscrupulous seller.

In this article, you will find not only a list of all the elements of the kit, but also photos of the original package, tips for authenticating accessories, as well as answers to frequent questions - for example, why some boxes have a transparent case, and others do not.

• 🧊 Transparent silicone case (in some batches may be missing - see section below).

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 has several protected elements that are difficult to fake.

1. The color and material of the box. The original packaging is made of thick cardboard with matte coating. The color is white with a gradient transition to gray on the side faces. On the front side is a large image of the phone and the Redmi logo.
2. The hologram on the top cover, and when you change the angle of view, the hologram shows the XIAOMI inscription and rainbow shimmers, and fakes often have a blurred or misplaced hologram.
3. Serial number: At the bottom of the box, a unique S/N (serial number) is marked, which must match the number on the warranty card and in the phone settings (Settings → About Phone → General Information).
4. Barcodes and markings: There should be two barcodes on the back of the box: one for the phone model, one for the complete set, and check for the CE mark (certification for Europe) and the Made in China label.

If the box looks worn, has autopsy marks or mismatched serial numbers, this is an excuse to refuse to buy, and you should also be wary if the package is wrapped in additional film with the store logo - this is often done by dealers to hide the defects.

💡

Before you buy, ask the seller to make a video of the unpacking of the box, where you can see the serial number and contents, which will protect you from swapping the goods.

Charger and cable: how to distinguish the original from a fake

The power supply and cable are the most frequently counterfeited items in the kit.The original Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 charger has the following characteristics:

To check the original charger, connect it to your phone and run the test through the Ampere app (available on Google Play). When you connect the original power supply, the charging current should be 1.5-2.5 A (depending on the battery level).

Also pay attention to the cable: the original has thickened connectors and the inscription Xiaomi on the Type-C connector. In counterfeits, cheap wires are often used that overheat or quickly fail.

⚠️ Note: Using an unoriginal charger can cause the battery to bloat or malfunction fast charging.If the power supply is warmer than usual, or the phone charges for longer than 2 hours, this is an occasion to replace the accessory.

Documentation and Guarantee: What Should Be on Papers

The Redmi Note 9 comes with two key documents: a brief user guide and a warranty card, both of which must be printed on thick watermarked paper and have the following characteristics of originality:

• 📖 User manual: Book format for 12+ On the cover are the Xiaomi logo and phone model, and inside are the button layouts and short instructions for setting up.
• 🛡️ Warranty card: Hologram with Xiaomi logo in top right corner.Serial number (S/N), Date of production (must coincide with the date on the package) Signature and seal of the official distributor (for Russia - Xiaomi Russia).

If the warranty card looks like a regular piece of paper without a hologram or is printed on a printer, it is 100% fake, and it is also worth checking the activation date of the warranty: it must coincide with the date of the first charge of the phone (it can be seen in the Settings → Battery menu).

Important: in Russia, the official warranty for Redmi Note 9 is 12 months from the date of purchase, but only if there is a check and the original configuration.

A transparent case in the kit: why it may not be

One of the most controversial features of the Redmi Note 9 is the silicone case, which some boxes have, others don't, and is due to regional delivery features:

• 🌍 Europe and Russia: Most of the games have a case, it's transparent, with camera cutouts and connectors, and on the inside there's a Xiaomi logo.
• 🌏 Asia (India, Indonesia): The case is often missing – instead, a local warranty information sheet may lie in the box.
• 🛒 Resellers and unofficial sellers: Sometimes they remove the case to sell it separately (for example, on AliExpress such accessories are worth it). ~300 rubles).

If the case is not there, but everything else is original, it is not a cause for concern, but if the seller says that "the case must be" - this may be an attempt to mislead you. To make sure that you are not cheated, check:

1. Manufacturer country on the box (if Made for India is specified, the case may not be).
2. Availability of all other elements of the equipment (power supply, cable, documents).
3. Reviews about the seller - if he has many complaints about "incomplete equipment", it is better to refuse the purchase.

Should you give up your phone for lack of a case? No, if everything else is original. But if you want a case out of the box, check with the seller in advance or buy it separately - the original silicone case for the Redmi Note 9 costs ~200-400 rubles.

What to do if there are not enough details in the box

If after purchase you find that the kit is missing any element (for example, a charger or SIM-extractor), act on the following algorithm:

In most cases, unscrupulous sellers make concessions if they are presented with evidence (photos, video unpacking), but if the purchase was made in the official Xiaomi store, the missing accessories must be provided free of charge - just present a check and a warranty card.

Pay special attention to situations where there is no warranty card or power supply, which may mean that:

• The phone is unofficially imported into the country (for example, brought from China without certification).
• This is a returnable product that the seller is trying to pass off as a new one.
• Refurbished (refurbished) after repair.

⚠️ Note: If the seller offers to "buy the missing accessories for half price", it is most likely a fraud. Genuine parts from Xiaomi are not sold at bargain price - their cost is comparable to the retail.

If you bought the phone with your hands and can’t get your money back, check at least its originality through IMEI.

1. Dial *#06# and the IMEI number will appear.
2. Check it out at IMEI.info – if the phone model doesn’t match the Redmi Note 9, it’s a fake.

💡

Even if the phone is original, the lack of a warranty card deprives you of the right to free repairs at the service center.
