The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

The Redmi Note 9 offers a capable 48 MP camera and useful NFC, but modest performance, a 60Hz LCD, and its heavy body limit it today.

What is good

  • Detailed 48 MP main camera
  • NFC and reversible USB-C provide useful connectivity
  • 1080 × 2340-pixel resolution keeps text sharp

What is not

  • Helio G85 and 3 GB RAM limit performance
  • 18 W charging is slow for a 5020 mAh battery
  • Heavy 199 g body and 60Hz LCD

How the score breaks down

  • Performance 23
  • Camera 71
  • Display 38
  • Battery 24
  • Connectivity 60
  • Build 34
