Features the reading mode 2.0 with a TÜV Rheinland certified display that protects your eyes from harmful blue light If you've got more money to spend, of course the mid-rangers are better in terms of speed, and display quality, and the sort of results you can get from the camera, while adding features such as 5G and wireless charging. But that doesn't mean the Redmi 9 from Xiaomi doesn't appeal at a significantly lower price point. Every smartphone is a compromise between price and everything else, and when it comes to this handset that's most noticeable in low light camera performance and the overall speed of the device. However, we were perfectly happy using the Redmi 9 as a phone for a few days, with only the occasional moment of frustration at a slowdown.

The Redmi 9 gets added protection with corrosion proof ports, rubberized seals and 380V surge protection We don't like the MIUI skin that Xiaomi puts on top of Android (Android 10 in this case) all that much, but your mileage may vary – it's just a bit too garish and interfering for our tastes, but there's nothing here that would necessarily put you right off the phone. You do get quite a lot of Xiaomi's own apps on board out of the box, but they're easy enough to uninstall or ignore if you don't like them. We're impressed with the screen too, a 6.53-inch IPS LCD affair that runs at a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and an unspecified refresh rate (none of that fancy 90Hz or 120Hz speed here, not at this price). It's bright and sharp, and perfectly good for watching YouTube videos or scrolling through the expanses of the web. It's one of the better displays we've seen on a phone down at this end of the price scale. This data was obtained from Xiaomi Laboratory. Actual results may vary slightly depending on the environment. The battery capacity is different however, and the larger battery in the Redmi 9 is likely to mean that it lasts longer. Both support 18W fast wired charging, but the Redmi 9 only comes with a 10W charger in the box, whereas the Note 9 has a 22W charge - although again there may be some regional differences here.The big difference is in the main sensor resolution, with the Redmi Note 9 getting a 48-megapixel main camera - but using pixel combining to give you 12-megapixel photos. It's a bit of an oversell, pushing big numbers to no real benefit, but it's a good enough camera. It seems like fewer and fewer of us can justify spending flagship money on flagship phones, and with handsets like the Redmi 9 around, you really don't need to – it's a fantastic little budget phone, with a screen and design that impress, and camera quality and performance levels that are good enough for a budget phone.
