You get a lot for your money from the Redmi Note 9, with impressive hardware and design, and power that leaves many rivals in the dust. The camera might be a little over sold and the software brings a lot of bloat with it, but it's a capable handset.

Plenty of power, Premium design, Great battery life, Value for money

Display brightness control is a bit random, Sound quality from speaker not great, Camera system a bit oversold

With an attractive physical design, above-average camera quality, and good battery life, the Redmi Note 9 is a promising mid-range device that doesn’t skimp out on performance and build quality.

With its big screen, big pixel-count, and large battery the Redmi Note 9 will likely scratch your flagship itch on a budget. Sure, it won't stack up to pricier smartphones in terms of design, camera zoom, low light imaging, or power, but for the price, it's still a winner, despite a few UI gremlins.

Great battery life; Competitive camera; Big, bright screen;

Plastic frame; No telephoto camera; MIUI can be clunky;

Big display, Long battery life, Good design

Great buy, excellent camera with plenty of shooting options. Battery life excellent and fast charging. Use in car for maps etc, very responsive.

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.

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.

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