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

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro Max - a bit of Apple, a pinch of Huawei

Smartphone manufacturers like to watch opponents and borrow their ideas, albeit slightly modifying them. Someone will call it partial copying, but representatives of development companies usually replace this word with the term “benchmarking”. The novelty from Xiaomi Corporation is definitely made with an eye on the latest products of competitors, as evidenced even by its name. However, the gadget carries only the best features of rivals in the industry.

The appearance of the phablet copies the best sellers of Huawei and Apple. Recognizable square four PV modules, fingerprint scanner side, the rear glass panel, made in gradient colors and frameless display with front fotokameroy- "island" look important, but not too original. But the used 6.67-inch OGS-panel will please with brightness, and contrast, and FullHD + resolution. The oleophobic coating of the IPS display is also present.

Specifications are extremely curious. The latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G processor was created using the 8Nm process technology and, together with 6GB / 8GB RAM and the Adreno 618 video adapter, launches demanding games with maximum graphics settings. The volume of internal storage in 64 / 128GB can be expanded with MicroSD cards in a separate slot. The energy efficiency of the "iron" does not raise questions. A single battery charge of 5020mAh is enough to prevent the user from thinking about recharging for 2-3 days.

The main 64-, 8- , 5- and 2-megapixel cameras, led by the excellent Samsung GW1 module, practically reach the flagship level in both day and evening photography. Pictures are easily confused with other flagships, the difference is noticeable only in small details. The 32- megapixel front camera also evokes positive emotions. The infrared port for controlling household appliances, the 33W quick charge included and the MIUI proprietary shell, thought out to the smallest detail and slowly deprived of advertising, add to the list of advantages of the gadget, the highest sales of which can be predicted today. Only the lack of NFC can be a hindrance to success.
