Here is my detailed long term review of the Redmi Note 9 Pro, after using it for more than 6 weeks. Redmi launched the Note 9 Pro ahead of the Note 9 Pro Max, but is it a good budget smartphone? and should you buy it? Read the article to get the answer.
Hey guys, I am from techincaluncal.com. And after having used the Redmi Note 9 Pro for a month and a half,I will tell you guys what I think about it, and should you choose it over the competition or not.
We all know that the Redmi Note has been Xiaomi’smost successful series, so much so that Xiaomi feels Redmi is big enough to become a separate brand in itself.
This year Redmi had made some changes to their most successful lineup. And we will have to wait and see how these decisions will fair in the long term. Up until 6 months back, Redmi was launching2 Note series phones, the Note 8 Pro and the Note 8, Note 7 Pro and Note 7, Note 6 Pro and Note 6, and so on.
But this time they changed things a bit and brought in the Note 9 Pro and Note 9 Pro Max. Where there are less differences between the two, Max is obviously the better one. So why is the Note 9 Pro here, and what does it offer let’s check out.
I purchase the Note 9 Pro on the launch day at Rs.12,999, but shortly after that, the Indian government increased the GST on smartphones from 12 to 18%, and the rupee has not been very strong against the dollar, so since then, Redmi has increased the price of this particular variants price by 1000Rs. And now it retails at Rs.13,999.
For this price, we get a very well built phone. It is a hair wider, but taller than the Note 8 Pro. And with a 6.67-inch display, it is a massive smartphone.
To put it to a perspective, It is even bigger than the iPhone 11 Pro max. Slight curve to the back makes it a bit easier to hold the phone in your hand, but make no mistake it is definitely a 2 handed device. Thanks to the Gorilla Glass 5 at the front and back, it feels like a premium smartphone.
Much better than the plastic back ones. But there is a downside to using glass at the back, it gathers a ton of fingerprints and looks very dirty if you are not constantly wiping it. The frame is made of plastic, but you won’t notice it until it is scratched.
But in the hope of not letting this happen, Redmi includes a case in the box. And it is a good one, I have been using it since day one, and it does a good job of protecting the phone.
There is a small lip at the front, to keep the display protected, and there is also araised portion to protect the camera module, which if you haven’t noticed by now, sticks out quite a bit. To put most of you guys at rest, Redmi have given gorilla glass 5 protection the camera module as well.

That way, YouTube will make sure to notify you, as a new video goes live on this channel. The 6.67 inch FHD+ IPS LCD display is amazing for watching videos or playing games. While the peak brightness is a few nits lower than the Note 8 Pro’s display, this one can get pretty bright, even for most outdoor lighting situations.
The colors and viewing angles are also good with really good contrast levels, making sure you don’t have much to complain about while using it. Some people will still find ways things to complain, like it being an LCD panel instead of OLED or it not having a 90 or 120Hz refresh rate. And rightly so because the competition is giving AMOLED displays and 90Hz refresh rate at or around the same price point.
But honestly, you won’t even mention these things if you just look at the display, without looking at the specs sheet. This is one of the best quality displays in terms of brightness levels, color accuracy, contrast levels, and viewing angles that you are going to get at this price.
