Xiaomi’s new phone Redmi 9 has hit the market of budget smartphones in a new way. Users will get many new features with great performance in the phone for only 15 thousand rupees. And for the first time among the Redmi models, the smartphone has been given a quad camera setup. Let’s see what Redmi 9 will look like in a low budget.

Design

The design of the phone is very simple. Like the previous Redmi phones. The back of the phone has a chic gradient color design and anti-fingerprint repellent texture. The rear fingerprint sensor is specially designed next to the camera. Even though it is simple, the matte finish on the back will give a nice look. The whole plastic body phone feels quite comfortable to hold in hand. Although the device is a bit big but slim it can be easily held in the hand.

The Redmi 9 smartphone is a bit bigger than the other Redmi phones brought earlier. It has a 6.53 inch FHD Plus Dot Drop display. Display density is 395 ppi, screen to body ratio is 72% and color contrast ratio of display is 1500: 1 (TYP). The display has TUV Rhineland Low Blue Light certification. That’s why those who want to watch movies on Amazon or Netflix do not have to worry about the brightness. It has Crystal Clear Details fingerprint for a better visual experience. So it did not feel low brightness during use. When used in the sun, the brightness of the display should be increased.

The SIM card tray is on the left side of the phone. One can use two Forge SIMs simultaneously and a dedicated memory card at the same time. On the right side is the volume rocker and below it the power button. Its position is also comfortable. At the top of the phone is the mic, and Shaomi’s iconic IR blaster. Bottom 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type C port and speakers. Speaker quality is quite good. The bass seems a bit low in full sound but the sound is quite loud.

The camera

The Redmi 9 device is Xiaomi’s first quad camera phone in this range. Before that the Redmi 6 or 7 did not have a quad camera. As such, it is a new addition. The back of the phone has a 13 megapixel main camera. In addition to the 13-megapixel wide-angle camera with f / 2.2 aperture, there’s an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with 116-degree FOV, a 5-megapixel macro camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The device has a kaleidoscope and palm shutter feature to give a premium feel to the camera.

There is also an 8 megapixel camera on the front for selfies. This front and rear camera can take pictures with a resolution of 1080 pixels. It can also hold 30 fps video. The image quality of the ultra wide camera is quite good. However, in some cases, taking pictures in portrait mode has been a bit of a problem. Good experience in daylight and night photography.

Performance

Shaomi’s Redmi 9 phone will run on Android 10 operating system. So that there is Shaomi’s customized MIUI 11. The device is powered by MediaTek Helio G60 processor. Octa-core CPU with 12 nanometer processing technology. It also has up to 2.0 GHz processing power. Which will give 206 percent more performance than its predecessor. It has a powerful 5020 mAh battery. As a result, the Redmi 9 device will back up your daily work, and much more power while playing games. The phone even has 16-watt fast charging technology, so if you want to play games, you can charge the device in a short time.

Gaming on the phone was found to be slightly hot. Which, of course, made the video an overnight sensation. However, in this processing power, its gaming quality is much better than other similar budget phones. Playing games like Pubji can be a hassle. In that case cases like frame drop may be found. Other than high end games, there were not many problems in gaming.

Battery

Talking about backups will probably be more. Because the phone has a 5020 mAh battery. As such it will naturally give quite a good backup. There is 16 watt fast charging. As a result, you will be able to use the reels once in a full charge for two and a quarter days effortlessly. There is a 10 watt charger in the phone box. The phone takes about two and a half hours to fully charge. It would have been better if this time was a little shorter.

There is more

The phone supports Forge. There are Bluetooth 5, IR Blaster, numerous features in the camera. WiFi, Fingerprint & Face Unlock, Wireless FM, Infrared, USB Type C and many more features.
