Redmi 9: New Catch
Xiaomi has been launching phones very frequently in the market. The brand recently launched Redmi 9 Prime for the budget market and it has now launched another smartphone in the same market segment. The Redmi 9 is the latest phone to join the bandwagon of the various smartphones by Xiaomi in the market, also as the successor of the Redmi 8 smartphone that was launched by Xiaomi last year. This one in design terms has a waterdrop-style display and features a 6.53-inch HD+ (720x1,600 pixels) Dot View display with an aspect ratio of 20:9. The Redmi 9 comes packed with a big 5,000mAh battery that supports fast charging. The battery is a decent asset and allows long and sufficient hours of backup.
The Redmi 9 is marked at a starting price of Rs. 8,999 for the 64GB storage variant, while the 128GB storage option comes at a price of Rs. 9,999. This is a huge deal because a smartphone with a 128GB storage option available only in 10k is not at all a common happening. Redmi has stolen the show with this trick. Both the storage variants are expandable up to 512GB via a microSD card with a dedicated slot. The phone is available in three colour variants of Carbon Black, Sky Blue, and Sporty Orange. The Redmi 9 is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Helio G35 processor with 4GB of RAM. The Helio G35 is MediaTek’s newest addition to its Gseries chipset family and offers a decent gaming experience and overall impressive performance. The chipset employs MediaTek’s in-house HyperEngine game technology for lag-free gameplay and vivid visuals. The Redmi 9 will be available on Amazon for purchase from August 31 around noon, apart from being available in retail stores.
The Redmi 9 smartphone runs on Android 10 with MIUI 12 on top. It supports dual-SIMs and accepts Nano and Nano SIM cards. In camera options, the Redmi 9 comes with a dual-camera setup at the rear which includes a 13-megapixel primary sensor and another 2-megapixel secondary depth sensor. For selfies, the phone comes with a 5- megapixel front camera for all your social media clicks.
The Redmi 9 smartphone’s connectivity options include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v5.0, GPS/ A-GPS, Micro-USB, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. There is also a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor on the device. The Redmi 9 measures 164.9x77.07x9.0mm. This phone is the new catch in budget segment and with such grand specs, especially the 128GB storage at the price, this one is going to sell out like hot cakes.
