Both the phones further come with a 5,000mAh battery with micro-USB charging (no fast charging here).

Both the phones come with quad rear cameras with the Pro model getting a 48MP main camera, while the vanilla Hot 9 has a 13MP main camera. The Pro Hot 9 also gets a quad-LED flash while the vanilla Hot 9 has a triple-LED flash. Rest of the setup is the same, which is a combination of a 2MP depth, 2MP macro, and another low light sensor.
