The Redmi note 9 Pro has finally lunched and it comes with a new color, Well new color looks really nice you can also notice a new rectangular sort of camera module also has a metallic frame which adds to the premium feel. In the front you now have a centre punch hole which looks nice. This time Redmi also added a side mounted fingerprint scanner just like the POCO X2 and also the Realme 6 Pro and it’s pretty fast so yeah the Redmi note 9 Pro brings a slightly more premium design.

The phone has the triple slot for two SIM cards and a micro SD slot. The usual button is the headphone jack, single speaker and the USB C port on the bottom.

Display

The redmi note 9 pro comes with a 6.67 inch full HD plus IPS LCD display and it’s a nice display but it’s your regular 60 Hertz display which is OK but the problem is we now have the realme 6 Pro with the 90s display and the POCO X2 with 120 Hertz display.

Camera

Excellent Camera quality in this price range.

The cameras are where things have been upgraded. The redmi note 9 pro comes with a 48 megapixel f1.7 primary camera and I know the Redmi Note 8 pro had a 64 megapixel camera but this is the new Samsung ISOCELL GM2 sensor and let’s face it megapixels don’t really matter so we’ll see how it goes anyway the rest of the specs remains the same an ultra wide-angle camera a macro lens which has upgraded to 5 megapixels and has autofocus now. There’s the usual depth sensor now the specs look fine and their features like improved night mode which is available for selfies too. A pro color mode feature to boost colors and photos Pro Mode and video recording kind of the scope in short video which looks pretty fun and more.

When it comes to selfie camera well it’s a 16 megapixel F 2.2 camera now which takes better quality photos and videos than Redmi note 8 pro 20 Megapixel camera.

The redmi note 9 Pro does bring in a new chipset but it isn’t exactly an upgrade the phone comes with the new Snapdragon 720 G chipset with upto 6 GB Ram 128 GB storage. Now snapdragon 720 G is a fairly powerful chipset but it isn’t exactly an upgrade over the g90T. The real world performance is what actually matters and that’s an area where I’m fairly positive about the note, I have been been using the phone and the performance has been smooth plus the 720G handles games just fine.

The battery which is actually an upgrade but it’s still a little mixed back I mean the note 8 Pro packs in a massive 5020mAh battery and honestly we all love big batteries I’m all in for great battery life also but you know what else I love fast charging and well Redmi has bundled an 18 watt fast charger in the box it’s kind of okay honestly the POCO X2 was 27 watt charger realme 6 Pro 30 watt charger raised my expectations, So a faster charge up would have been nice to charge this big 5000 mAh battery but yeah I will be testing out the 18 watt charger that comes in the box and see how long it takes to charge this battery.

Apart from that the redmi note 9 Pro has Android 10 and it’s got all the features we all love. There’s one thing I don’t like and that’s the fact that like the Redmi note 8 pro and the Realme 6 Pro the redmi note 9 pro does have the widevine license but the problem is there’s no support for HD in Netflix and prime video. In Netflix playback specification page shows the widevine L3 license and maximum playback resolution as SD. So yeah this is kind of weird and I really hope Redmi note 9 Pro fix is this pretty soon. So that was the redmi note 9 pro.

The point is the redmi note 9 pro is a phone that brings some good changes there’s the new design, the centre punch hole on the front is nice, the bigger battery is pretty awesome and the 720 G chipset is fine. A high end fresh rate or even AMOLED would have made things way better just imagine this phone with an AMOLED display, then there’s the fact that a faster say 27 watt charger would have been nicer and also know HD on Netflix and prime video is kind of a big issue but with the price range of only Rs 12,999 this phone is the best choice in the market as it’s competitor Realme 6 Pro and POCO X2 comes in Rs 16,999 which is also good phones for there price range.
