Design
Talking about the design of Redmi Note 9 Pro it comes with brand new Aurora Design which is quite premium not too flashy as in case of redmi k20 series . I must say this phone looks like 30k Premium Device. The back is slightly curved which makes it easier to hold a big device adhering to 6.67 inch Full HD+ IPC panel with 60 Hertz display and also not forget humongous battery of 5020 mAH and not the key highlighting Dot display. This device comes with the thickness of 8.8mm with weight around 209 gms. We get Gorilla Glass 5 protection both in front as well as back which is quite common these days. This device is available in 3 color options interstellar Black ,aurora blue and glacier white.
Performance and Software
This might be best performer in the price segment. It comes with brand new Snapdragon 720G ( fabricated on 8nm technology ) which is even powerful than Snapdragon 730 as mention during the launch event. Even it has same GPU as andreno 618 as in Snapdragon 730.
Its antutu score even beat SD730 . during testing it scored above 2.7 Lakhs.
Performance can't just be measured by Hardware but software plays huge role. In software department The device comes with Android 10 out of the box with MIUI skin over it which is one of the most customizable skin in market. Snapdragon 720G is definitely a capable processor which will support almost every high end game in high setting without any Lags.
Battery
Another key feature of this note series is humongous 5020 mAh battery. which should easily last a full day with high usage and 2 days with normal day to day usages. To refill back the juice redmi has provided 18W fast charging in the box. which should take around 2 hours to charge it 0-100%.
Camera
This device comes with Quad facing Rear camera which is placed in Square housing at the back and another noticeable thing is the camera BUMP which is huge in case of Redmi note 9 Pro which makes device unbalanced when kept on table. and also makes camera lens prone to scratches.
Camera on this Device seems to be weaker side as the main 48MP(f/1.79) sensor provided is Samsung's GM2 which is not as Good as Sony's IMX586 sensors but still it is worth to wait and watch the image processing capabilities . Apart from that there is 8MP ultra-Wide angle camera, 5MP macro and 2MP depth which does not excite us as at all.
Taking about selfie here we get 16MP selfie shooter which is placed in dot on top of display which looks really good giving more screen to body ratio (above 90%) .
Other Specifications
Apart from the specs mentioned above there are many other feature which makes it stand out from others. Like
It has Got Xiaomi's Traditional Infrared sensor
Fast and secure side mounted Finger-Print senor
Dedicated slot for expanding memory as base varients comes with just 64GB of internal storage.
Improved haptic feedback motor so as to give better experience while typing.
Its has got support for Navic i.e. indian navigation system which is faster and more secure than glonass and beidou which is chinese satelite tracking system.
Pricing and Verdict
The pricing has really aggressive
4GB RAM and 64GB storage is priced at INR 12,999
6GB RAM and 128GB storage is priced at INR 15,999
If Redmi has been able to provide 27w charging and sAmoled screen that would have definitely nailed the market but we should not be too greedy and the offering made by xiaomi is best in the price segment . also if we consider mediatek processor powered phones available in market than snapdragon phones clearly have an upper edge in terms of performance and durability. If someone wants good performing snapdragon processor, long lasting battery and premium looking Phone than one should definitely go for it.
