Reviews for the Xiaomi Redmi 9
The 130-Euro (~$154) Redmi 9 offers a quad-camera system, NFC module, 3.5-mm headphone jack, dual SIM functionality, fast-charging and a 5020-mAh battery. It is hard to believe that such a cheap device can offer such a complete package, but the Redmi 9 actually does. Read our review to learn whether the smartphone proves to be as impressive as its specifications sheet in day-to-day use.

I don’t want to sound repetitive, but everything about the Redmi 9 has to be tempered by its price point. Is the design next generation? No. Does it have a fast processor? No. Can you play Fortnite at its highest settings? No. Does it have the best camera optics on the market? No. What you do get is a usable smartphone with a 1080p display that has built-in sunlight mode and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. You get a quad-camera setup, including a depth sensor and some computational photography features. You also get a reliable fingerprint reader, the potential of 18W quick charging, OTG reverse charging, all-day battery life, Android 10, and access to the Google Play Store. The Redmi 9 comes in two models and is available in three different colors. The recommended retail price is €149 (~$175) for the 3GB/32GB variant and €169 (~$199) for the 4GB/64GB variant, but I have seen them generally on sale for a little less than that. Of course, there are other budget-friendly phones out there, including the Moto G8 or Moto G8 Plus; something from Nokia such as the Nokia 4.2 or the Nokia 5.3;

The Xiaomi Redmi 9 Activ is a low-budget smartphone that brings the right level of hardware and software to satisfy users’ needs. But at the same time, the company provides multiple copy versions as well. For example, the Redmi 9A Sport is entirely a copy of the Redmi 9i Sport with less storage space. The same thing applies to the Redmi 9 Activ phone, but if you’re looking for a decent phone with a low budget for general uses and the camera is your secondary concern, then the Redmi 9 Activ is a great option. But if you’re looking for a better alternative, you can also check out the recent release of the Infinix Zero X Neo variant, which is a decent choice to look at in the meantime.

Xiaomi Redmi 9 is an entry-level smartphone. It packs in entry-level specifications and nothing comes out as bad but as average. However, getting an Helio G35 SoC is something you should think about twice as the processor is underwhelming. You can shell out a few hundred bucks more to get Redmi 9 Prime which is way better in many ways.

The Xiaomi Redmi 9 comes with a 5020 mAh battery, which is a slightly heavier-hitter for a smartphone in the Essential segment. Despite its battery’s large capacity, however, our tests found the Redmi lagging behind its rivals in autonomy; further, its small charger hobbled its performance in both charging and efficiency.

You also don't have to look to far to find considerably more value for money with just a small increase to your budget - you needn't even look outside Xiaomi's own product line. With notably better cameras, faster performance and higher storage options, Redmi 9 can't hold a candle to Redmi Note 9 or the Poco X3 NFC.

The Xiaomi Redmi 9 can definitely hold its own against the best budget phones on the market at the moment, proving that Xiaomi isn't just about high-end flagships... just make sure you consider the various competitors at this price point before committing yourself.

The Redmi 9 competes with many budget phones at its starting price of Rs. 8,999, but it's a bit of a hard sell when you have phones such as the Realme Narzo 10A (Review) which offer better hardware for roughly the same amount of money. The 128GB storage version of the Redmi 9 is an even tougher sell at Rs. 9,999, since it will compete with the Redmi 9 Prime (Review) which offers vastly superior performance and specifications at the same price.

Of course, there are other budget-friendly phones out there, including the Moto G8 or Moto G8 Plus; something from Nokia such as the Nokia 4.2 or the Nokia 5.3; or even the Poco M2 Pro from Xiaomi itself. But if you are on a tight budget, the Redmi 9 is certainly worth considering.

Let’s make one thing clear immediately: the Xiaomi Redmi 9 is a phone with flaws, and it has a lot of them. On the other hand, it is one of the most affordable phones available anywhere right now, and it's hard to find a better phone at this price point.

Redmi 9 is an almost perfect budget smartphone that has received many useful features and functions. High resolution and brightness of the screen will allow you not to worry about your eyesight, but battery life will not be so high. The quality of the photos is good for its price. And the main advantage is the presence of an NFC module.

The Redmi 9 is a budget offer that none can quite match at this time. If your budget is around €120 you probably won't find a better phone. With a high-res screen, high-quality camera, and impressive battery life - the Redmi 9 exceeds the expectations.

The Redmi 9 is a great addition to Xiaomi’s lineup as it provides a fourth, honorary option to the Redmi Note 9 series. By providing users with all the basics they need for an essential but solid smartphone experience, it’s almost a no-brainer for Xiaomi fans looking to spend not more than PHP7,490. However, I think that’s exactly how much you should spend if you were getting a Redmi 9.

We tested the new budget phone from Xiaomi--The Redmi 9. Can it game in 1080p quality? Surprisingly for the starting price of P6,990, yes it can! Watch the video for the actual hands-on review. Games test includes NBA 2K20, Honkai Impact 3, PUBG Mobile, Mobile Legends, Call of Duty Mobile, and Asphalt 9. We also test the battery, charging, and fps counter.

The Helio G80 is capable of running many games at medium and high and has already proven itself in phones that we’ve reviewed previously that rocked the chip. Redmi is including a massive 5020mAh battery in the Redmi 9, though our previous experience with the G80 tells us that the bigger than average battery might be needed. All in all the Redmi 9 has a lot of great things going for it, especially at the price that Xiaomi is asking for.

只有较少的手机有很大的屏幕。
大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
