Xiaomi Redmi 9i Overview

 

Display: Xiaomi Redmi 9i comes with a 6.53 inch HD+ display that represents all the colors in a particular picture or a video perfectly. A standard refresh rate is missing in the smartphone, still, it is justified considering the price range of Redmi 9i. 

 

Performance: Xiaomi Redmi 9i runs on the MediaTek Helio G25 chipset and is based on the latest Android 10 operating system. The MediaTek chipset of the smartphone comes paired with 4GB RAM that offers a decent speed while playing heavy games or running multiple applications at a given point of time. You should take short breaks while extensively gaming on the smartphone for long hours to avoid any sort of heating or lagging issues. The smartphone’s basic variant offers 64GB internal storage. You can also go for the 128GB internal storage variant of the smartphone if you need higher space. Moreover, you can expand the memory of the smartphone up to 512GB via a microSD card. 

 

Camera: Talking about the camera, you don't get a powerful set up as it comprises a  13MP basic level rear camera and a 5MP front selfie camera. The camera quality of the smartphone is not that good as you can see that a basic level camera will definitely fail to deliver above average camera quality. 

 

Battery: Xiaomi Redmi 9i packs a powerful 5000 mAh battery that makes sure you get enough battery to use your phone for long hours without even worrying about the charger. It gets completely charged from zero to 100% in 2 hours and 42 minutes. When it comes to battery drain, the smartphone's battery drops up to 8% per hour when streaming videos and around 12% per hour when playing heavy games. 

 

Competitors: Realme Narzo 20A gives a tough competition to Redmi 9A. Narzo 20A offers a standard refresh rate that is missing in Redmi 9i along with a better front and rear camera set up. However, Redmi 9i has a powerful RAM as compared to Narzo 20A.

PriceDekho Expert Verdict

 

Redmi 9i will be considered as a weak smartphone in the mentioned price range. Competitors like Infinix Hot 8, Realme Narzo 20A offer much better specifications in the same price range. On the least, a better camera was expected in the smartphone along with a standard refresh rate.
