In real life usage, Redmi Note 9 Pro sails through general tasks and I didn’t notice any hiccups. The games run fine as well. I played PBUG and COD mobile and the games run pretty good. But, it doesn’t run the games as good as Realme 6 that uses G90T.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nAlso, I noticed that there were some frame drops when I was playing PUBG mobile. This issue seemed to be limited to the PUBG mobile as I didn’t have any problem with the COD mobile.<\/p>\n
Security<\/h3>\n In terms of unlocking options, you can use the fingerprint sensor or face unlock but I prefer the fingerprint sensor. It’s very quick and reliable.<\/p>\n
If you prefer, you can use face unlock as well. And, it’s quick and reliable too. It can unlock even in dark situations.<\/p>\n
Speaker<\/h3>\n The speaker on the Redmi Note 9 Pro is loud enough and has good clarity. However, it feels slightly distorted in the max volume but I being very nitpicky here. Again, I like the speaker of the Redmi Note 9 Pro than that of Realme 6.<\/strong><\/p>\nBattery and Charging<\/h3>\n\nNon-removable Li-Po 5020 mAh battery, Fast charging 18W<\/li>\n 2.0, Type-C 1.0 reversible connector, USB On-The-Go<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOn average I was getting around 7 hours of screen on time and it can last for more than a day easily. However, it doesn’t get the 30W fast charging which we can find on the Note 9 Pro Max.<\/p>\nRedmi Note 9 Pro USB<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIts 18W fast charge takes more than 2 hours to charge it from 0 to 100%.<\/p>\n
Software<\/h3>\n\nAndroid 10, MIUI 11<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nRedmi Note 9 Pro runs on MIUI 11 on top of Android 10<\/strong>. What I like about the MIUI is the notification and toggle screen. It looks clean and appealing. I also like the volume controls on the MIUI 11.<\/p>\nThe settings page could be better though. It can be simplified and made much easier to use. Also, I don’t like the icons used on MIUI 11. Then the most annoying thing was I had to use the Poco launcher just to use the App drawer.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe software experience doesn’t feel optimized on the Redmi Note 9 Pro.<\/p>\n
Should You Buy Redmi Note 9 Pro?<\/h3>\n Redmi Note 9 Pro is a good phone given its price. It has a good display, good battery, nice speaker, and the camera feels quite good.<\/p>\n
I was satisfied with the performance as well but ofcourse you can opt for Redmi Note 8 Pro if you want a better gaming experience. Or you can opt for the Note 9 Pro Max which has 30W fast charging and a better camera sensor but you will need to add some cash for it.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nSo, Redmi Note 9 Pro is a good phone but it’s in a weird position where its own siblings Redmi Note 8 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max feel much better and cost quite similar. It doesn’t feel like an upgrade to the Redmi Note 8 Pro. Redmi Note 8 Pro has similar CPU performance and better gaming performance. On top of that, it uses the 64MP camera sensor which is found on the Note 9 Pro Max.<\/p>\n
But I do like the design of the Note 9 Pro than the Note 8 Pro. So if you don’t do much gaming, you can go for the Redmi Note 9 Pro. Else, go for the Redmi Note 8 Pro or Redmi Note 9 Pro Max.<\/p>\n
