redmi 9 hands-on

If the Redmi Note 9 series is still above your budget, then fret not as we have the successor to last year’s successful Redmi 8 -- the inexpensive Redmi 9. Up top, we have the secondary noise-canceling microphone as well as an IR blaster, a feature Redmi fans continue to enjoy. Display and Multimedia For display, the Redmi 9 utilizes a 6.53-inch FHD+ IPS panel with a resolution of 2340 x 1080, which equates to a pixel density of 395ppi. Camera The Redmi 9 comes with four rear cameras. The front camera is one redeeming factor for the Redmi 9's camera system. As for video, the Redmi 9 can shoot up to 1080p at 30FPS, which is probably good enough for most users who are just looking to record a quick clip for social media. OS, UI, and Apps The Redmi 9 runs on MIUI 11 on top of Android 10, though users should be able to expect an update to MIUI 12 at some point. Performance and Benchmarks At the core of the Redmi 9 is a MediaTek Helio G80 chipset with a Mali-G52 MC2 GPU along with 3GB/4GB of RAM and 32GB/64GB of eMMC 5.1 storage.
