Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 review: Champion mid-range phone

Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 9 Pro, 9 Pro Max way back in March, but for reasons best known to the company, did not reveal the generic model. This strategy worked well for Xiaomi, the prolonged shelf time for Pro models got good attention and made good sales. Finally, the Redmi Note 9 made its debut in late July.

On paper, it has one of the best features for a price starting at Rs 11,999. I have been using the Xiaomi phone for a week and here are my thoughts on the Redmi Note 9.

Design, build quality and display

Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 9 has borrowed some design from the Note 9 Pro series. It features curved square-shaped quad-camera module with cute Wall-E like eyes on the back.
