Editorial report

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 4 GB / 64 GB / India technical sheet

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 suits buyers who put battery capacity first and can live with a dimmer, less fluid display. Its 5,020 mAh battery is among the best of phones launched around the same time, while its 60 Hz refresh rate and 450-nit peak brightness are worse than most. The overall NeoScore is 4.7, reflecting a basic phone whose strongest case is battery capacity rather than display or performance.

This version has 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. The Redmi Note 9 is also sold in 4 GB / 64 GB, 4 GB / 128 GB, and 6 GB / 128 GB configurations, and storage is expandable. Its 6.53-inch IPS LCD has a 1080 × 2340 resolution and 395 ppi, a density above average. That does not offset the display’s 60 Hz refresh rate or 450-nit peak brightness. The AnTuTu result of 225,154 is also below average for phones launched around the same time.

The battery supports 18 W fast charging, an average rate, as well as reverse charging. Connectivity is above average, with NFC, USB Type-C, dual SIM, Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth 5.0. The 48 MP main-camera resolution is above average, and an ultrawide camera provides another framing option. The main sensor measures 1/2″ and has an f/1.8 aperture; there is no optical image stabilization or optical zoom.

Android 10, IP53 protection, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack round out the practical features. The Redmi Note 9 favors battery capacity, connectivity, and camera flexibility over a brighter, smoother screen and stronger performance.
