Comparison review

The Apple iPhone 12 Pro features a sharper display than Xiaomi Redmi Note 9, because although it has a quite smaller display, it also counts with a bit more pixels per inch of screen and a little bit higher resolution of 1170 x 2532px.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 features a little bit better camera than Apple iPhone 12 Pro, because although it has slower 30 frames per second video frame rate and a tinier camera aperture which is not favorable for taking photos and/or video in low light environments, and they both have the same video quality, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 also counts with a camera in the back with way more MP.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 has a really longer battery performance than iPhone 12 Pro, because it has a 5020mAh battery capacity against 2815mAh.
Although iPhone 12 Pro is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9.
