I bought this phone after a week from the launch date. This phone is more than amazing. I lover redmi note 9 and well this is the first phone I ever bought in my life. I am happy with my decision. I am a Xiaomi user now. I was planning to buy realme 5 pro. Redmi note 8 was also in my mind but redmi n 9 is the bestest.

I think everything of the phone is perfect but I would like to recommend you plz don't buy the phone cause if you are a gamer you should not buy it because game lags so much not pubg not free fire just a simple 300 MB game and graphics are not so better . The phone is perfect for other purposes not for gaming .

Tchuckky, 22 Aug 2020I agree with you. The people who you would see hating on ... moreExactly. I'm also looking to grab a note 8 pro after a while if I find a good deal but for now I'm happy with this phone. Just ignore the trolls below and watch some neutral reviews on YouTube. I also forgot how the camera clicks good pictures

Ikram , 22 Aug 2020But guys for the price, this phone is pretty good. Me and a... moreI agree with you.
The people who you would see hating on this device are youtubers because I think all of them pretty much just say the same thing in their videos. Also review sites (because they have to be TOO honest in my opinion) and hardcore gamers.
It's a good device. If I'm being honest the things I've seen online that people call FLAWS are just what every other phone has. If you want a perfect phone then spend $600 on it by all means.
If people have a little more money to chip then no biggie.
The realme 6 is there, note 8 pro is there and maybe the note 9s.
But i don't believe that this phone falls below the redmi note 8, redmi 9(prime and the rest) , realme 6i and the likes.
I like the device as it can keep up with my needs and I'm a gamer also. Not a down to earth, proud, critic gamer but i can hold my ground and still have fun with those chicken dinners.
The phone would improve, hopefully.
Those wondering if they should get it, I'd advice you not to seek PERSONAL opinions.
Instead look up the CONS. Don't look at the pros yet. If you can ignore those cons as they have no means of affecting your daily usage too much then go ahead and get the phone.
If you can't ignore it then put a little more money and get a better one as listed by others.

But guys for the price, this phone is pretty good. Me and a lot of other users are pretty much satisfied with it. If I had to choose the cons I'd say the charging speed is quite slow (hopefully will improve in upcoming updates same as gaming performance) plus the display doesn't get that much bright. Battery wise it's great gives me 8 hours sot heavy usage. Day to day performance is solid for gaming we have to hide the notch which makes the games run smoothly. All we can do is be a little patient since this is a new chipset the optimization takes a little while.

Btw when did I say the 970 is better than g85 lol? Read my last message I clearly said 970 IS A FLAGSHIP LEVEL CHIPSET. Don't take gsmarena reviews too seriously open your mind up to other non biased reviewers. I will say it before I'll say it again this device has a good camera now plz comment as much as you want here because everybody knows you're just seeking some attention literally nobody is taking you serious here

You call ga... moreDude I don't know if you're challenged or have a hard time comprehending simple english. now let me repeat what I said, PUBG RUNS IN HDR AT MEDIUM FRAME RATE (30 FPS) and if you play on balanced you can get 40 fps. Still have a hard time understanding? I think it's pretty decent for casual gamers and if gaming is really your first priority then you're looking in the wrong budget segment. And this will get better with os updates and the updates launched by the games same case as redmi note 8. Now if you were really that bright you'd know about something called gfx tool which can enable you to play this game on 58-60 fps.

Anonymous, 19 Aug 2020It's very obvious that Kirin 970 is better than Helio ... moreYeah, coming from a nobody with "Anonymous" as the username, that's a trustworthy source... Btw, I'm being sarcastic if your level of thinking doesn't get it. You have the right to have your own opinion on whatever device, but lashing out at someone and telling them they're wrong and you're right is uninvited, that's just toxicity. No one subscribed to that and definitely nobody wants to hear it from a know-it-all wannabe like you. Last time I checked, there wasn't a debate contest here on Gsmarena.
Get yourself a flagship phone to end all of your heartache and misery on this device or you don't have the money for it? So you end up here pouring all of your frustrations cause this mid-range phone didn't meet your expectations.
I've checked your comments and I can say that it's pure hate on RN9. You're trying to prove a point and kept pushing on it but sadly for you no one buys it. One or two negative opinion on a device is understandable but to the point you're ridiculing someone is just unethical and attention seeking. Do you get your daily dose of ego on this website by mocking someone? Cause that's just pathetic as it gets. Get a life.

WhateverYouWouldLike, 20 Aug 2020I'm using Xiaomi Redmi Note9 and it's performance... moreThat is so biased.
1. Xiaomi phones have exploded too, including Redmi Note 7 Pro.
2. Different phones have different chipsets. Plenty of Oppo & Vivo phones have much more powerful chipsets than Redmi Note 9 & the opposite is also true.
3. You completely missed the point about Helio G85 having poor app optimisation & giving very low performance as a result in games & other apps.
But it's your loss if you choose to be ignorant, so yeah do that.

If you know it isn't, just tell him so. Instead of trying to fight him & anyone that tells him that Redmi Note 9 is a bad choice for him.

Nice try though.
Oh! So you didn't read my second paragraph but wrote 4 angry paragraphs about it?
Nice try though :)
Lastly, it's fine if you didn't read. I knew from beginning that you aren't capable of replying to my response, so I was only expecting something silly from you.
And yes, I'm the same person. It wasn't my intention to change it.
It doesn't matter though, since you can't come up with anything

Ikram , 19 Aug 2020https://nanoreview.net/en/soc-compare/qualcomm-snapdragon-6... moreAll of your arguments are on tech-dumb level.
You call gaming on Medium Frame Rate "butter smooth", which is like 25FPS? That tells us enough about you lol.
Stop misguiding people.
1. Real performance:
Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 (Snapdragon 636) FPS in PUBG: 30.
Redmi Note 9 (Helio G85): 25-35
(According to Gamebench)
Nanoreview shows gaming performance according to benchmarks, meaning "what would be the performance of G85 *if it was optimised*".
Which it isn't, and as a result it only rivals Snapdragon 636 or at best Snapdragon 660. If it had optimisation, it could give 40-45FPS but let's stay in the real world.
1/5. You're trying to fight me because I said Kirin 970 is way better than Helio G85. But the same website link YOU shared PROVES Kirin 970 has much better gaming performance than Helio G85. Lmfao!!!
There goes your entire argument in the bin.
Rest of my comment is about educating you.
2. Heating:
There's a huge difference in heating & overheating. Overheating is also called throttling in mobile phones, which I didn't even mention. I've already explained this but since you've poor comprehensive skills:
Kirin 970 is a 10nm chipset while Helio G85 is a 12nm chipset. Lower "nm" chipsets tend to heat less & are more battery efficient in completing the same task.
Why? I don't want to start teaching you about circuit boards & laws of physics.
This is extremely common knowledge even for un-knowledgeable people of Gsmarena.
3. Camera:
I don't know if you're really that dumb or just too impatient to finish reading anything.
Redmi Note 9 selfie camera apertures are f/2.3 & 1/3.1 while Honor Play selfie camera apertures are f/2 & 1/3.06. Honor Play also has a higher MP selfie camera.
That's clearly the comparison I made.
Since you're tech-dumb & don't know what apertures are, I'll put it in simple words:
Redmi Note 9 selfie camera is *extremely* under-spec. Similar to budget/entry level phones. As you can see in camera samples by Gsmarena.
Fact: Camera tests by Gsmarena officials prove RN9 has a bad camera that can only take decent pics in good lighting, especially the selfie camera. I can only laugh at that quality.
Gsmarena criticised almost every aspect of its camera.
Given how you proved you know nothing about phones, I can't trust a test performed by someone like you.
Who doesn't know anything about apertures, lighting, foliage, details, noise, highlights, dynamic range, resolution, saturation to say "I've tested its camera"?
4. Just to help you understand how silly your "facts & figures" are and why you shouldn't give your opinions:
Snapdragon 710 has higher GPU frequency than Snapdragon 845.
According to your logic, Snapdragon 710 "easily beats" Snapdragon 845.
Congrats, you found out you know nothing about Chipsets!
But I taught you 6 new things about them, so don't forget to thank me! :)
