Redmi Note 9 Review: Is the Redmi Note 9 worth the increased price and should Redmi Note 8 users upgrade to this one? Let’s find out in...

Very happy with this. Fairly light for its size, great battery life and loads of storage. Easy to set up. Bought this after my beloved Samsung finally gave up the ghost. Included with the phone is a protective case (not very good, i use a Spigan and can recommend that as a replacement) and a pair of...

Plastic body, MediaTek chip sacrifices performance & battery life, Camera focus can be soft
