After weeks of speculation and teasers, the Xiaomi Redmi 9 has arrived as a major upgrade over last year’s Redmi 8. The new Redmi 9 has a bigger and better screen, additional cameras, better internals, and more for just €150.
Let’s have a look.
The IPS LCD panel’s size has been increased to 6.53-inches and the resolution has been enhanced to 1080p. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass 3 and has a waterdrop notch at the top for the front-facing camera.
The rear camera setup looks almost identical to the Redmi K30. There are four cameras aligned in a vertical layout on top of a fingerprint sensor.
The mid-range Helio G80 is the main driver of the device. This is paired with a 2.0GHz octa-core processor, 4GB RAM, and 64GB eMMC 5.1 storage. The storage can be expanded with a microSD card.
You get the latest version of Xiaomi’s revamped MIUI, the MIUI 12 on top of Android 10 right out of the box.
The rear camera setup includes a 13MP main sensor capable of wide-angle photography, an ultrawide sensor with 118 degrees field of vision, a 5MP macro camera for close-up photography, and lastly, a 2MP depth sensor for the bokeh effects. Video recording quality, on the other hand, goes up to 1080p 30FPS.
The front camera inside the waterdrop notch is an 8MP wide-angle sensor that can capture HDR photos.
There is a massive 5,000 mAh battery onboard that is equipped with 18W fast charging. This should charge the phone from 0 to 100% in a little over 90 minutes. However, you’ll have to get an 18W fast charger yourself as the box only includes a 10W brick.
The Redmi 9 will start at €150 and will be available in Carbon Gray, Sunset Purple, Ocean Green color options.
