The camera apps of both the phones look similar, but they differ slightly in features. For example, the camera app of Realme 6 Pro has a toggle button for 5x zoom. Night mode can be used with the wide-angle and selfie cameras. You can even enable the ‘Ultra Steady’ stabilization mode while shooting videos. The Redmi Note 9 Pro also has some nice features, such as a ‘Short Video’ recording mode, a shortcut to open Google Lens, and easy-to-access shortcuts to change video resolution or switch to macro mode.

During the day, the primary sensors of both phones take photos with good detail, and HDR also works well. Photos taken with the Redmi Note 9 Pro show a slightly warm tone. In contrast, the photos taken with Realme 6 Pro come with balanced tones. Wide-angle shots are also good, but the quality and details in both phones fall a little less compared to the primary camera sensor.

Macro shots taken with both smartphones don’t lack detail, but in our tests, we found that the Realme 6 Pro exaggerated the reds too much. When it comes to extreme close-ups, the Redmi Note 9 Pro took better macro shots than the Realme 6 Pro, thanks to its high-resolution macro sensor.

The Realme 6 Pro’s camera setup supports 2x optical zoom. We got some sharp detail and good colour reproduction in the photos. The Redmi Note 9 Pro also gave a good output with its 2x digital zoom, but a close comparison showed that the photos taken with the Realme 6 Pro came with slightly better sharpness and detail.

Coming to the selfie camera, the Realme 6 Pro captured our subject’s face with better skin tone and better detail. HDR wasn’t very effective here, but the good thing is that the selfies themselves came out with a pretty good exposure. The Redmi Note 9 Pro exposes the background better, but our subject’s face was quite dark and lacked detail. The wide-angle front camera on the Realme 6 Pro is quite useful, as it lets you get a lot more people in one frame.

In low light landscapes, the Realme 6 Pro clearly performs better than the Redmi Note 9 Pro. Photos taken in the dark with the Realme 6 Pro show good exposure on objects. Switching to night mode, the camera of the Realme 6 Pro improves, but interestingly, the photos taken with the Note 9 Pro’s night mode are also not bad, or there is not much difference between the two. Shooting with the wide-angle cameras of both phones at night gives poor results, but the Realme 6 Pro gives the option to use night mode for this sensor as well, which improves things a bit.

When it comes to shooting close-ups in low light, the Redmi Note 9 Pro actually struggles a bit to set focus on small objects like flowers, while the Realme 6 Pro has no trouble at all. After several tries, the Note 9 Pro finally managed to lock focus, but the photos weren’t as well exposed and detailed as the ones taken with the Realme 6 Pro.

With slightly larger subjects and better lighting, the photos taken with the Note 9 Pro look better at first glance. While the Redmi Note 9 Pro had good detail in the photos, the Realme 6 Pro handled white balance better. If you look closely at the tiles on the floor in our sample shots, you will see more detail in the photo taken with the Realme 6 Pro.

We got some pretty good results when we tried using the Realme 6 Pro’s optical zoom camera in low light. The Redmi Note 9 Pro also takes good photos with its 2x digital zoom, but manages to make the subject sharper in the image.

Both smartphones can record 4K videos, but the lack of stability is clearly visible in the videos at this resolution. Videos taken with both phones in good light come with a lot of detail, but the Note 9 Pro slightly boosts the colors, especially the blue shades. However, stabilization comes in handy to make the videos recorded at 1080p smoother on both phones and here we found that the Redmi Note 9 Pro does a slightly better job.

In low light, we found the video quality of the Realme 6 Pro to be slightly better as the video was quite bright. At 1080p, both phones take good videos with stabilisation, but this causes some distortion in the video. Wide-angle videos look blurry and dull as the sensor of both phones is weaker than the primary camera.
