Entrando al campo de batalla sub-PHP10k está el nuevo Redmi 9 de Xiaomi -- no confundir con el Redmi Note 9. Cuenta con una pantalla Full HD, un procesador MediaTek Helio G80, hasta 4GB de RAM, 64GB de almacenamiento, cámaras traseras cuádruples y una enorme batería de 5,020mAh. Vamos a comprobarlo.
Cerca de 200g, es un dispositivo robusto y puedes sentirlo. Es sólido y resistente, pero al mismo tiempo parece bastante bueno. La placa trasera no está hecha de ningún material reflectante, es plástico mate con ondulaciones que comienzan desde la zona de la cámara trasera.
The left side contains the triple card tray with dedicated slots for two nano SIM cards and a microSD card. On the right, we have the volume rocker and power button.
At the bottom, we get a headphone jack, the main microphone, USB Type-C port, and loudspeaker. Up top, the secondary noise-canceling microphone as well as a Redmi staple, the IR blaster.
Checking out the back, we have a quad camera setup with an interesting setup. Three of them are in one module in the middle along with the fingerprint scanner, and we have an additional one in a separate module with the LED flash.
The rear cameras are a 13MP main, 8MP ultrawide, 5MP macro, and 2MP depth. In front, it's an 8MP camera. Check out some of our initial sample shots here:
Powering the Redmi 9 is a MediaTek Helio G80 octa-core CPU with a Mali-G52 MC2 GPU, along with 3GB/4GB of RAM and 32GB/64GB of internal storage. For battery, we get a 5,020mAh cell with support for 18W fast charging, which is nice.
Running the software department is MIUI 11 on top of Android 10 -- but MIUI 12 is definitely coming soon for this device.
The Redmi 9 is priced at PHP6,990 for the 3GB + 32GB variant, and PHP7,490 for the 4GB + 64GB variant -- both of which are great prices for a phone with this hardware. We're gonna see what it can really do, so do stay tuned for our full review.
