Editorial report

Xiaomi Redmi 9 Activ technical sheet

The Xiaomi Redmi 9 Activ suits buyers looking for an everyday phone with a high-capacity battery. Its 5020 mAh battery has more capacity than that of most phones launched around the same time. The trade-offs are a less detailed, dimmer display, performance below most phones of its time, and 10 W charging that is slower than most.

The 6.53-inch IPS LCD has a 720 × 1600 px resolution, 269 ppi and peak brightness of 400 nits; that brightness is among the weakest of its time. This version has 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage, with expandable storage. The Redmi 9 Activ is also sold in 4 GB / 64 GB and 6 GB / 128 GB configurations. AnTuTu places the MediaTek Helio G35’s performance below that of most phones launched around the same time. The 13 MP rear main camera has a sensor among the smallest of its time and no optical image stabilization. There is also an 8 MP ultra-wide camera.

Connectivity includes dual Nano-SIM, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 5, microUSB and a 3.5 mm audio jack. It runs Android 10. Its overall NeoScore is 4.2. The Redmi 9 Activ is best suited to buyers who put battery capacity ahead of display detail, performance and faster charging.
