Hello, why has GSMarena stopped doing headphone jack tests? It was the best part of the review.

    Is this using the new WCD9385 for speakers/audio?

      Hopefully I can get the note 9 even with this economic situation, have been dreaming of owing a Xiaomi phone every year since note 4, that's around 2016/17

        kiasunkiasi, 28 Apr 2020is there option or display setting to create artificial top... moreYes!

          Last year Note 8 Pro was better than Realme 5 Pro this time Realme takes the win

            is there option or display setting to create artificial top bezel to mask the punch hole?

              AhmedSLL, 28 Apr 2020What about realme 6 Pro?Realme is not officially in my country. Also I don't like plastic phones.

                mr_xmas, 28 Apr 2020where do you even use NFCSeriously? Each shop Im doing shopping Im using NFC.

                NFC is not only for payments:
                - fast pairing of the devices;
                - file exchanging.

                I understand that Redmi Note 9s is a phone created for poor / developing countries when contactless payments are still missing. Offering it the countries with concatless payments is quite a joke as older models (note 8 Pro, T) had it.

                      Z E R O, 28 Apr 2020u cant see there is list of Cons of this phone ?I think many dislikes Redmi displays. People who bought this said that the display is bad with bleeding on dark background. I like Realme 6 more because of better display which is 90hz and fast charging. You don't really need big batteries as long as you have fast charging, you're good. Realme 6 also has better processor and software optimization. Just check the reviews and comparison on youtube. I don't mind the heating of the G90T, I only play Mobile Legends anyway and it's a simple game. I don't play pubg.

                          It doesn't save videos on 4k. This phone is a COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY 👎🏻 Don't get one.

                                Anonymous, 28 Apr 2020Without NFC? Are you sure? Google Pay works so well, I don'... moreYes, it is without NFC. It is a shame especially when compare to Note 8 (Pro and T) series, which come with NFC.

                                I cant imagine to use a phone without NFC.

                                  This redmi costs almost half of what you are comparing to iphone se2.
                                  Realme, asus, etc provides EIS at 4k60 across all lenses.

                                    AhmedSLL, 28 Apr 2020Yup, normal 60Hz screen, as for bleeding, I don't think so,... moreThanks for the response.., What i meant was the uneven backlight arround the notch

                                      According to specs comparison, Note 9S has more 4G bands than 9 pro, that's why its the global version. And that's the difference between the two models.

                                        STALKER1993, 27 Apr 2020I will buy it this week for around 200$ 128/6Without NFC? Are you sure? Google Pay works so well, I don't bother carrying credit cards any more. No NFC is a total deal breaker.
