The new model surprises the audience with variants features and specifications that too which is under 15,000. Though in the current market, there are loads of new smartphones that feature in the mid-range well equipped with features. 

Xiaomi has been setting a top-notch expectation with all the Redmi Note series right from the first. With the launch of the Redmi Note 9 Pro, the brand has been setting a high bar of expectations. 

At autonmobiles.com today we are going to feature on the latest gadget review in India. The Redmi Note 9 series features 90 Hz display along with fast charging technology. This included fast-charging battery power along with the high-resolution camera. And you acquire all the same at such an affordable rate. In the latest Redmi Note 9, Pro Max comes in various divisions. 

Is the new Redmi Note 9 Pro serving the expectation of the people? Well, we had our share and that is why we are here to profess the latest review on the gadget. As per the pricing structure, the Redmi Note 9 Pro, thus, is an affordable purchase. Let’s see if it meets the expectations or not!

Designing Structure

• The phone is undoubtedly heavier one in terms of other Redmi series. 
• Thickness and weight – 8.8 millimetre and 209 grams
• Our users found the weight of the phone to be quite heavier but the distribution of the designing structure in the phone makes it easier to use. 
• Though the phone might have been difficult for users but not as a whole. 
• Colour Variants – Glacier White, Aurora Blue and Interstellar Black.

The blue colour variant has a shiny feature with a bright outlook. Though the phone is not slippery as it might seem. Fingerprints are easier to catch through. 

Coming to the camera specifications, there has been new implementation in the camera structure. The flash is all circumferenced with the 4 attached lenses in the phone making it look quite different and beautiful than the other Redmi series.  

The Redmi Note 9 Pro has well-protected both sites with Gorilla Glass 5 while the framing of the same is formulated with polycarbonate. Going to the selfie camera, you will come through the pictures that are interestingly beautiful. There is a hole-punch cutout where you can see a small hole right in the front. 

When we were delving more into the phone, some of the best attributes to come across were the fingerprint-sensor adjusted sideways. Left-handed people might find it a little trouble. On the other hand, the brand speaks on the fingerprint sensor of the power button as the functioning of the same is faster with the in-display sensor. The smartphone is pretty convenient than the fingerprint sensor on the back though.

Just above the power button, you will see the placement of the volume button. Thus, making a reach to call gets a little awkward. Right on the left side of the phone, there are segments for – 2 nano-SIM cards and a microSD card. The emblem of the brand is placed right at the top of the phone and also has the facilities for different segments in controlling the home devices. 

Coming to the connectivity connection, USB Type-C port, 3.5-millimetre audio socket and also speaker segment right at the bottom. Notification and charging LED are also offered. 

So the overall designing specification of the all-new Redmi Note 9 Pro in terms of outlook and feel has undergone different changes. The phone could be water-resistant but not completely. 

Delving into the other specifications 

• In all the Redmi Series, we have come across different specifications which have been interesting and alluring to the audience. The screen this time is larger with larger battery life. You will be presented with a 6.67-inch full-HD + display with a resolution of 1080×2400 pixels. 
• The display does not have much of the changes acquiring to about 60Hz. But in its competitor brands like Realme, you will get the same in 90 Hz. 
• Xiaomi stated that there are ample applications that will not be able to take into account the high refresh rate. Also, people will not be able to discover the differences between the two. Furthermore, it could even affect the battery life. Though with all of the structures and specifications, the budget purchase is not that bad. 
• Battery Capacity is 5020 mAh delivering up to 29 hours of VoLTE collage and 14 hours of gaming experience. It comes with a fast-charging battery of 18 W. 
•  The phone is powered with Snapdragon 720G along with cores including  2.3 GHz cores and six energy-efficient 1.8 GHz cores.

Two storage variants have different pricing structure – 

• 4 GB RAM and 64 GB variants – Rs 12,999
• 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage – Rs 15,999
• Other highlights of the smartphones come with standard GPS, Bluetooth 5 functionality, standard sensors with NAIC support, USB Type-Cable and so much more. 
• The entire phone functions on Android 10, coming off with bloatware and has become a major marketing strategy for the globally recognized brand. The company also stated that the users are free to disable a few of their services in case they come across any spam. 
• Certain customization features of the UI, the home screen has got a Mi browser for the browsing and surfing section and further help in the installation of applications of your choice. The features inside the phone run on MIUI 11. 

Performance and Battery Life

• Well, you are getting a good battery life and hardware at an affordable rate, what more could you ask for. The mid-range smartphone is best for the daily rough use from basic calls to 3D gaming. Multitasking becomes easier without any glitches. 
• Though the phone is not that user-friendly. The large screen is apt for videos and games but the camera bump and the outlook of the phone are a little difficult to handle. Though when it comes to sensors and scanning, the phone is quite smoother. 
• The screen is bright and up to mark. Colour specifications are quite commendable and you can even change the ones of your choice. The speaker is not that great unlike other phones but when you plug on to the earphone you are good to go. 
• High graphic games like PUBG could be well played for 20 long minutes but the Redmi Note 9 Pro becomes warmer. So, do not use it for much longer hours. While testing the battery specifications, we were pretty impressed by the performance. HD videos streaming could go on to 16 hours straight. The phone could run on 1 day charging. 

 How are the camera clicks?  

• You already know the camera has got a square bump which is quite a surprise in terms of the design. Speaking of the camera specifications, 48 MP of primary camera features the new Samsung ISOCELL GM2 sensor.
• Other lenses include 8 MP wide-angle camera with 2MP depth sensor and 5MP macro lens. As per the company, there has been an enhancement in the night mode and auto-detection focus. You can video record at 4K resolution and slow-motion of 720p resolution. Also, you can easily shoot videos with a macro camera as well. 
• The front camera features a 16 MP resolution sensor offering slow-motion videos with in-built beautification feature. If you are eager to know about the camera result, it is good enough but the quality could not be much distinguished. Detailing of the subjects is pretty visible and does not go out of focus. Distant objects get properly captured at the same time. The wide-angle camera is average but the quality is not meeting expectations. 
• The macro camera of 5MP presents with enhanced shooting quality but colours and exposure again does not make up to the mark. The night camera is good in artificial light. Low light varies in terms of quality. The wide-angle camera does not have much of the clarity as expected it to be. Night mode again does not live up to the expectations. 
• The front camera has got nice quality in day and night. The beautification mode is more of artificial mode. The detailings are good to look at and background photographs come in blurry shots.

Our Say 

As per the features and the pricing structure, the Redmi Note 9 Pro is indeed a good purchase. The phone has quite some alluring updates to look and delve into. The styling of the smartphone is pretty impressive and possesses a great option for day to day entertainment. The primary camera is disappointing, especially in low light. There are two storage variants which we have already spoken of and it is a good purchase. Though we still think there could be some software updates for the same for enhanced specifications.
