How much power does Redmi 9 Prime have? At first glance…

Xioami recently launched Redmi Note 9. However, the impact of GST rate increase and weak rupee has definitely been seen in the budget and mid-range market. If we look at the siblings before the Redmi Note 9, the Redmi Note 9 should have ideally started at Rs. 9,999. However, due to the reasons mentioned above, the company has launched this phone for Rs 11,999. So customers with tight budgets had no option but to pay for premium phones or look at other brands. For this reason, now the company has launched Redmi 9 Prime, which starts at Rs 9,999 and comes with MediaTek Helio G80 chipset. Can the Redmi 9 Prime provide good value for its price? We got to spend some time with Redmi 9 Prime and here we are going to give our initial opinion about this phone.

The Redmi 9 Prime appears to be the global model of the Redmi 9 with a changed name. The Redmi 9 Prime comes with a 6.53-inch full-HD+ display, which includes a notch at the top. The full-HD+ resolution display is a big advantage for the Redmi 9 Prime, as most of the competition at this price point is offering HD+ displays. The bezels around the panel are thick, but considering this price, that’s not a bad compromise. The display has Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protection, which can protect the phone from light scratches in everyday use.

Xiaomi has placed all the buttons on the right side of the device and they are easy to reach. The SIM tray is on the left and offers a choice of two nano-SIM slots and a dedicated microSD card slot. You also get an IR emitter on the top. Redmi 9 Prime has a USB Type-C port, primary microphone, speaker and 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom.

However, the downside is that the Redmi 9 Prime weighs 198 grams. You start noticing it after using the phone for a while. Xiaomi says that the Redmi 9 Prime is capable of 18W fast charging, but the company gives you a 10W charger in the box. Considering the bundled charger and battery capacity, we think the Redmi 9 Prime will take a long time to charge.

Xiaomi has launched Redmi 9 Prime with MIUI 11. This custom skin is based on Android 10 and our unit was running the July 2020 Android security patch. A lot of bloatware comes pre-installed, like GetApps, which suggests installing several other apps during the initial setup process. However, even after dismissing the suggestions, we found Rummy King, Zili, Mi Pay, Mi Credit, Amazon Shopping, Facebook, WPS Office and some games pre-installed on the device. However, no app banned by the Government of India is in this list.
