Editorial report

Xiaomi Redmi 9C technical sheet

The Xiaomi Redmi 9C suits anyone looking for a basic Android phone with dual SIM support and a 5,000 mAh battery. That capacity is higher than most phones of its time, but 10 W charging is slower than what most of them offered.

This global version has 2 GB RAM and 32 GB of eMMC 5.1 storage, while the Redmi 9C is also sold in configurations up to 4 GB / 128 GB. Its performance is worse than most phones launched around the same time. The 6.53″ IPS LCD display has 400 nits, 269 ppi and a 60 Hz refresh rate. Brightness is among the weakest, while pixel density and refresh rate are worse than most of its contemporaries.

The 13 MP rear camera is also worse than most cameras of its time. Its f/2.2 aperture is among the weakest, and optical image stabilization is absent. The phone includes 4G, NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS and dual Nano-SIM support. With a NeoScore of 3.7, the Redmi 9C is worse than most phones of its time overall. It makes the most sense for basic communication and everyday tasks, rather than demanding performance, display quality or photography.
