Anonymous, 19 Aug 2020This assumption is hard to believe. I think it's much ... moreIt's very obvious that Kirin 970 is better than Helio G85.
Not only does Kirin 970 has higher score in both AnTuTu & GeekBench (more powerful), it's a 10nm chipset which is more battery efficient & heats less. And it has the optimisation level of a flagship device.

The camera of Honor Play, mainly the selfie camera, is also notably better than Redmi Note 9.
f/2.0 vs f/2.3 makes a huge difference in detail their cameras can capture, then there's difference in optimisation, chipset capabilities & MP.

In comparison, Helio G85 is a 12nm chipset which heats up more, is less battery efficient than Kirin 970 and has very poor app optimisation. Making it a very bad choice for gaming.
Its camera quality is a huge downgrade from previous models of Xiaomi.

Look up the source yourself. Considering you find it hard to believe, you need to learn a lot of things about phones.

        Good phone, is equal like redmi note 8. But the bad thing is that the redmi note 9, don't have notification light.

My Redmi Note 9 is still the best, especially after update to MIUI 13. I had been a Xiaomi user ever since. Xiaomi Note.1(HongMi). Redmi Note.7, Redmi Note.8, Redmi Note.8 Pro, Redmi Note 9, Redmi Note 9.S, Mi 8.Liite, Mi Max.3, all are still in best condition and performance. If you want best phone, buy the most expensive... Xiaomi is unbeatable, ever!

All phones are the same, only differs after being distributed to sole manuhacturer and brandings by Company. Androids are androids. For me, my Redki Note 9 is best after update to MIUI 12. I had been using Xiaomi ever since. And still have my Xiaomi Note (Hongmi) note.1... Redmi note 7, note 8, note 8.Pro, Mi Max 3, Redmi Note 9s and all of them are still in best condition and performance. Unbeatable. You want best phone? Buy the most expensive!

              Light, 14 Aug 2020Maybe it's a disgrace for you but i doubt everyone thi... moreYou're joking, right?
              Don't disrespect SAMSUNG NOTE SERIES by comparing them with Redmi Note series. Oh wait, you think having "Note" in name makes a phone flagship?? Lmfao!

              You sure throw "just because" a lot for someone who knows nothing about phones. Go learn something first.
              It's not at all like saying Redmi 8 is better than Redmi Note 8 "because I said so". Stop making stupid arguments.

              Facts about this phone:

              1. It has the worst camera in its price, even compared to 2017/2018 phones.
              Its selfie camera has f/2.3 apertures. Do you've any idea how bad that is? Or even "what that is" lol. Go check its camera test by Gsmarena.

              There are literally entry level phones with better cameras. Even Redmi Note 5 Pro & Note 6 have MUCH better cameras. Don't even compare it with Mi A3.

              2. It has lowest performance of all phones in its price. WAY LOWER! Even lower than much cheaper phones, including Redmi 9.

              Secondly, you clearly know nothing about chipsets or Helio G85.
              Even if it gets "Optimised", its performance will still be among lowest in this price & will only come close to Redmi 9 which costs way less.
              Its competitors have Snapdragon 712 & Helio G90T FFS! Do you've a brain?

              Thirdly, it took Snapdragon 665 1.5 years to get optimised for *major apps* & it still isn't properly optimised. How long will this one take?

              Stop defending Xiaomi for selling a unoptimised chipset at very high price that can't even compete with phones that cost about $100 less - especially when Helio G85 is already the weakest chipset in this price, even with optimisation.
              This is a entry level phone being sold at midrange.

              If you buy Redmi 9 instead of this, you'll be just as satisfied. And get better performance, more stability/less bugs, less heating & better or similar battery in heavy usage as it's unoptimised.

              Only *major* comprise will be the camera, which is fine because this phone has a pretty bad camera itself.

                Kirin 970 is around or more powerful than Snapdragon 712!

                Helio G85 is like only Snapdragon 636 or at best Snapdragon 660. This is a very bad phone in both performance and camera.

                  If a good smarphone Bud toi must take 4/128 , don't take 3/64 version because 3G Ram ils n'ont enought wifh this processor in multitâche. Il think redmi.9 4/64 is better than note 9 3/64.

                            Where is the 6GB variant.
                            We can get 6GB in market

                              hi dear friends hope you doing well :) i just found the solution for this serious lags in this morning when i was tweaking some things in the phone and i realized thats a bug in the miui and it does not matter which version you are using just do this instructions im writing :

                              1 - activate developer mode
                              2 - go to developer mode options
                              3 -turn off miui optimization
                              4 - go play that game and then you will see all lags are fixed
                              5 - now if you want you can turn on miui optimization

                              please show this thread to everyone so they can enjoy their games :) big love to you
