Xiaomi Redmi 9T Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Redmi 9T - turn off the copier

The Chinese company Xiaomi loves to release the same models with different names in different regions. Recently, however, the situation has begun to change for the worse. Now, even in the territory of one country, it is possible to purchase essentially the same phones. So, the hero of today's review is almost a complete clone of Poco M3 and Note 9 4G.

The appearance of the novelty is not much different from the smartphones listed above. The combination of a triple camera and a side fingerprint scanner is good for the price segment, which is difficult to say about the plastic back panel and the huge developer logo. The bezel-less screen is characterized by not very thin, but still reasonable bezels for a budget Android phone, but the design of the 8-megapixel selfie camera is frankly outdated. The display with a diagonal of 6.53 inches is endowed with FullHD + resolution, which has a positive effect on the clarity of the picture. In terms of brightness and contrast, this is not the most impressive OGS panel that loses visibility in open sunlight.

A fairly inexpensive phablet is also devoid of productive technical characteristics. Of course, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor , 4GB of RAM and the Adreno 610 video adapter cope with the Android Q interface (MIUI shell) and a number of modern gaming projects, but the most demanding applications will start with serious slowdowns. But such a bundle does not occupy energy efficiency. It is easy to get up to 12-15 hours of active screen time from a 6000mAh battery. As a result, autonomy becomes an excellent competitive advantage of the device. You can't complain about the internal storage either, because 64 / 128GB and a microSD card slot will be enough for many users.

A trio of photo modules, led by a 48-megapixel Samsung GM1 sensor, guarantee basic photographic capabilities for high-quality daytime shooting. Most photos and videos will be free of smudges, their detail and color rendition will not cause a negative. But the deterioration of lighting and, especially, night photography, cameras actually fail. Of the advantages of the gadget, we note full-fledged stereo speakers , of the shortcomings - the absence of contactless NFC payments. Thus, the device already has analogues on the market, so the sense of its release is minimal.
