Android version and market relevance

In August 2020 was announced smartphone Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime. It is located in the series Xiaomi Redmi among many others smartphones Xiaomi.

The most important thing you need to know before buying is the version of Android on which the smartphone is launched “out of the box”. And Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime works on Android 10, that by the way is not so bad as for smartphone of 2020. But here it is still important to know whether this model is updated to a more recent version. Our novelty Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime, unfortunately, is not updated to any new version of Android. And it′s very sad, so we would advise you to look at other models of smartphones that are called in our catalog DROID-smartphones.

Perhaps it will be important for you that the smartphone was a dualsim. Then we can make you happy, because Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime works great with two SIM cards. And since 2020, after the official launch of 5G networks, it has become very important for most buyers that the new smartphone has high-speed mobile Internet. It so happened that Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime does not have support for fifth-generation networks and cannot provide you with super-fast Internet at a speed of up to 100 Mb/s. If this is important for you, we recommend that you go to the catalog page, which contains all 5G-smartphones on Android.

Screen, body and battery

The most important thing you need to know about the case and form factor Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime. The body is quite compact and the screen occupies almost all of its area from edge to edge (from 80% to 90% of the area of the case). There is a cutout above the screen to take up even more space on the front of the case. As you have seen in the photo, here is a drop-like cutout for a selfie camera. On the front side of the case is located huge IPS LCD-screen with diagonal 6.53″. At the same time, a battery with a capacity of 5 020 mAh.

Main camera and selfie camera

Let′s briefly describe the cameras in Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime. The main camera got several modules (smartphones with four cameras): 13 MP Wide + 8 MP UltraWide + 5 MP Macro + 2 MP Depth sensor. Why, for example, has multiple lenses in a smartphone camera become the absolute norm on the market today? Because with these smartphones you can take beautiful portraits with blurred backgrounds (this is called the Bokeh effect). And manufacturers have also learned to make software enhancements to photography based on the analysis of frames from each lens. It seems that this is exactly the case when it is better to see once than read about it a hundred times. Therefore, we advise you to take a few shots yourself with the camera of this smartphone.

The front camera has one module: 8 MP Wide. Do not say that this is very much, is in our catalog selfie smartphones, whose frontcamera will be an order of magnitude better. This model has a front camera as usual at the top of the screen, like 99.9% of all smartphones. But, if this makes you bored, then we can offer smartphones with pop-up front camera. In these models, the front camera is located inside the body and goes up only when you activate the front camera mode. It sounds interesting, but how convenient it is and how long this mechanism will work is not yet clear.

Processor and Internal Memory

Smartphone received 8-core processor Mediatek Helio G80. If you want to assess the speed of the smartphone and its performance, then do not forget to see how much RAM is installed in it. Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime received 4 GB of RAM.

And there are options with built-in memory. You can choose 64 GB or 128 GB. Supported memory cards microSDXC.

Price for Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime: buy or not to buy?

The choice to make is not difficult — to buy or not to buy — we will help you to solve it right now. New smartphone Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime we took and carried out segmentation for the quality of the camera, screen size, battery capacity and processor performance. So, if you want to buy a smartphone with a huge screen, then this model perfectly suits you. If you want to receive good quality photos, you can safely take this smartphone and do not overpay for top models. And, finally, on the performance of the processor, this model is very powerful with a very capacious battery here.

Having dealt with the average characteristics, it remains to understand whether it is worth all the declared price of $135 (without taxes and fees). Here everyone makes a choice for himself and evaluates all the pros and cons.

If something you did not fit this smartphone for purchase, then look in our catalog for a selection DROID smartphones. These are models that are now on sale, and that work under the new version of Android OS.
