I broke my old phone and needed a cheap replacementto hold me over until I can buy a new one outright. I searched around and landed on the Redmi 9. I should of carried on looking. This phone is temperamental, apps crash repeatedly, internet freezes the phone completely, WiFi disconnects from time to...

This phone was fast and had a lots of storage but unfortunately all the good parts of this phone were overshadowed by the fact that it was faulty including many different issues with calls and the phone randomly deleting photos and music. I'm sure if it wasn't faulty it could have been great but at this point in time I have had to get a refund and am looking at buying a different brand.

I love this phone, it has a good display, great sound and price. I bought it 3 weeks ago, and I'm already enjoying it. I like the 48MP quad camera, the photos look amazing but could be better. The notch doesn't bother me. 4 GB ram are fast and efficient. Which I upgraded from an Samsung a10 with only 2gb. But the battery last like a day which is nice

Very good :-)

The follow-up to the incredible Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T has a lot to prove. Is it the best phone under £200?

Decent battery life, Excellent quad camera, Incredible value for money

No major improvements on Redmi Note 8T

With the Redmi Note 9, Xiaomi zeroes in on battery life and photography as its twin priorities, resulting in a budget phone that occasionally punches above its weight. Performance and design compromises mean that it’s not an outright winner, but showing strength in a number of areas where the Moto...

Great battery life, Strong camera for the price, Screen is LCD but large and bright

Plasticky yet hefty design, Mediocre performance, MIUI 12 much improved, but still not perfect

1080p IPS panel rich in contrast, fast WLAN, design and workmanship, long battery life, triple SIM slot, solid SoC with...

...slow storage (eMMC), dark shadow around the punch hole, no UHD video option

An excellent budget phone, but unless money is very tight the Redmi Note 9S offers better value still.

Competitive pricing, Quad-lens camera, Dual-4G, 3.5mm headphone jack

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

The Redmi Note 9 is the direct successor of the Redmi Note 8 launched back in 2019 . The device comes with Mediatek Helio G85 CPU, instead of the Snapdragon 665 used in the older version. The display now is a 6.53-inch FHD+ screen with 1080 x 2340 pixels resolution.

I love my Xiaomo phone and the clarity of the screen etc. No problems. I would prefer it to be smaller but that is a personal preference and obviously has nothing to do with its performance.
