Redmi 9 Review in Hindi, Review of Redmi 9
Available at a starting price of Rs 8,999 Redmi 9 Today we are going to test it and we will see which new smartphone will come in this price range. realme c12 And Narzo 20A How different is it from the phone and whether it can compete with its competitors or not.
Redmi 9: design
The Redmi 9 is quite tall and wide, which we also felt while trying to use it with one hand. Thankfully, it doesn’t feel too thick or heavy, even though it measures around 9mm in thickness and weighs 194 grams. The power button is easy to reach, but the arm has to be adjusted a bit to reach the volume buttons, as they are above the power button. Surprisingly, Xiaomi has provided a Micro-USB port in it, its previous model had a USB Type-C port.
The quality of the plastic used in it is good and the phone feels very sturdy. The Redmi 9 has a square-shaped camera module at the back, which most brands have been adopting for quite some time now. There is a circular cut out for the fingerprint sensor, which is a little smaller than usual but in our usage it worked well. There’s also face unlock, which wasn’t very fast.
The Redmi 9 features a 6.53-inch IPS HD+ display with 720×1600-pixel resolution. Viewing angles and colors are great, definitely better than those on the Realme C12 and C15. Brightness was also adequate, although it could have been a little higher. Being a budget phone, there is no high refresh rate, but it wouldn’t be fair to complain about that. There is a waterdrop notch at the top and very thick bezels all around.
In the box, the Redmi 9 comes with a 10-watt charger, data cable, SIM tray eject pin, and user guide. You do not get any case or cover.
Redmi 9: performance
The Redmi 9 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G35 processor and the same chipset is used by the Realme C12 and C15. There are two variants of Redmi 9, both with 4 GB LPDDR4X RAM. You can choose 64 GB and 128 GB storage options, which are priced at Rs 8,999 and Rs 9,999 respectively. The flash storage type used here is eMMC 5.1. The phone also has Wi-Fi N, Bluetooth 5 and FM radio. You need to wear earphones for radio, but this was not the case with Redmi 8.
The performance is decent considering the budget nature of this phone. Redmi 9 runs on MIUI 12, which is based on Android 10. There were some noticeable lags in animations and at times there was a slight delay in opening apps or system menus. It is similar to the Realme C15, which has the same chipset and RAM.
Gaming performance was a bit weak. Games like Grand Mountain ran smoothly, but heavy games like Asphalt 9 didn’t have smooth framerates. Videos looked fine on the phone’s display and the speaker at the bottom was quite loud.
MIUI 12’s stock apps are full of ads and flood the notification panel with unwanted alerts. A lot of apps come pre-installed, but thankfully most of these can be uninstalled.
Redmi 9: battery life
The Redmi 9 delivered satisfactory battery backup in our experience. We easily get one and a half day’s usage. The phone has a 5,000mAh battery. The Redmi 9 lasted 18 hours and 44 minutes in our HD video loop test, which is a very good time. However, charging this large battery takes a while. Even after an hour with the supplied 10W charger, the Redmi 9’s battery only reached 40 percent. This phone does not support fast charging, which is a bit disappointing.
Redmi 9: cameras
The Redmi 9 has a fairly modest setup. You get a 5-megapixel selfie camera, and a 13-megapixel primary rear camera along with a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The camera app offers basic shooting modes and there is also a Pro mode.
When shooting in daylight the quality of the photos is quite average. HDR handles details well when you zoom, but landscape shots tend to have artificial details. Close-ups were a little better, but exposure could be better. Autofocus speed was okay, but not great. Portrait mode worked quite well, even for objects.
The Redmi 9 really struggles in low light. It also took a while to lock focus on close-up subjects. Details were weak when shooting at night. Camera AI enhances exposure, but there’s no dedicated night mode to use.
The Redmi 9 can deliver usable selfies on social media during the day, but struggles to produce good results in low light.
Video quality was also average during daytime shooting. You can capture at 1080p, but the stabilization sucks. The camera searches for focus frequently when shooting video and, as expected, the quality is very poor in low light.
Verdict
Redmi 9 The smartphone competes with many budget phones at a starting price of Rs 8,999, but when you have Realme Narzo 10A As phones are, it falls a bit short, as the Narzo offers better hardware for almost the same price. The 128 GB storage version of Redmi 9 is priced at Rs 9,999 and it Redmi 9 Prime It also competes with the Xiaomi Mi 10, which offers much better performance and specifications at a similar price.
We don’t think the Redmi 9 has any special features that can make it stand out from other smartphones at this price. This would have been a good option at a lower price, but given the recent rise in smartphone prices in the industry, we think you might be better off going with other similarly priced options from Redmi or Realme.
