Xiaomi Redmi 9 Review

Score: 71.3 / 100

Xiaomi Redmi 9 is a top-notch phone launched back in the year 2020, counting with an enormous 6.5" screen, a high performance 2000 megahertz Octa-Core processing unit, and 2 cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back camera and an 8 MP front camera. We will get a better understanding of this cellphone's pros when we get into specific details.

This cellphone ships with a MediaTek Helio G80 chip, holding a high speed Octa-Core processor speeding at 2000 MHz with a big 3 GB RAM. This device counts with a 32 GB awesome internal storage and while it doesn't come with an SD extension slot, it is still enough to install lots of applications, games, pictures and videos without even thinking about running out of space.

Xiaomi offers this device in three colors: carbon gray, ocean green and sunset purple. It seems like Xiaomi decided not to care so much about the weight in this 6.98 ounces phone. Being just 0.36 inches thick,this phone is very thin and good-looking. This phone is quite a compact phone, taking into account that it presents a 6.5 inches display and it has just 6.43" long.

This phone has two cameras, a 13 MP back-facing camera and an 8 MP front side camera. The Xiaomi Redmi 9 can also shoot Full HD 1920x1080 videos.

Xiaomi designed this phone with an absolutely amazing 6.5" display, and a 1080 x 2340 resolution, providing this cellphone with a high level image quality.

This device includes wi-fi connectivity (which it can share with other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE-A super fast connectivity and also HSPA+ connectivity (which is a slower 4G type) and the fastest 3G connection type, over HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. The Xiaomi Redmi 9 uses 2 Nano SIM cards to be able to to use 2 different carriers or phone lines in the same cellphone.

The Xiaomi Redmi 9 uses a big 5020 mAh non-replaceable battery, enough to provide this phone with an impressive battery duration. An issue to evaluate is that the Xiaomi Redmi 9's battery is not removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to get older, although with this big battery you will probably buy a new phone before that becomes an issue.

This cellphone also comes with lots of cool features as Fingerprint ID, Facial recognition to unlock, NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your cellphone close to another NFC device or tag), Infrared Transmitter, Bluetooth (5.0 ), GPS Localization and FM Radio, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This phone is probably a little bit overpriced considering it is priced $ 189, while many similar cellphones can be found for less money. No matter whether you you love taking pictures, are looking for a cellphone for work, will use it majorly for social networks or want a cellphone for playing games, you will probably be very happy with it. The Xiaomi Redmi 9 comes with TPU case, 10W Charger, User guide , SIM eject tool, USB Type-C cable and Warranty card.
