Redmi Note 9 Pro Review 1 — Redmi Note 9 Pro is called Redmi Note 9S in international markets.

Redmi Note 9 Pro Review 2 — The version we have on hand today is Aurora Blue, with a green-blue gradient effect at the back. Combined with the back made of 3D curved glass, the Redmi Note 9 Pro feels sleek in the hand.

Redmi Note 9 Pro Review 3 — This type of back design is beautiful but the downside is that it is prone to fingerprints.

Redmi Note 9 Pro Review 18 — Users can use the bundled silicone case to prevent that, but it won’t look as beautiful.

Redmi Note 9 Pro Review 4 — The Redmi logo is placed at the bottom half as usual.

Redmi Note 9 Pro Review 5 — The camera bump is quite noticeable.

Redmi Note 9 Pro Review 7 — It might get scratched without any protection.

Redmi Note 9 Pro Review 19 — A power button mounted with a fingerprint sensor and a volume rocker on the right side.

Redmi Note 9 Pro Review 20 — The left side is where the SIM and memory card slot are located.

Redmi Note 9 Pro Review 21 — The 3.5mm headphone port is still here.

Redmi Note 9 Pro Review 22 — The camera of Redmi Note 9 Pro has a unique design, with 4 cameras placed in a square housing, which looks much different from other camera designs. The LED flash is placed right below the camera setup.

Redmi Note 9 Pro Review 8 — The front of the Redmi Note 9 Pro has a fairly-impressive screen-to-body ratio of 91%. To get a bezel-less design, Xiaomi continues to put a 16 MP camera inside a center-aligned punch-hole on the top of the screen, which is called "Tiny DotDisplay".

Redmi Note 9 Pro Review 16 — Xiaomi uses a 6.67-inch IPS LCD panel on the Redmi Note 9 Pro with Full HD + resolution (1080 x 2400 pixels) and a 20:9 aspect ratio. The manufacturer says that the display has screen brightness of 450nit, HDR10 support for a better movie display experience, and 84% NTSC color gamut.

Redmi Note 9 Pro Review 11 — In terms of hardware, the Redmi Note 9 Pro is equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 720G processor and available in two memory versions, 4GB RAM + 64GB UFS 2.1 storage and 6GB LPDDR4x and 128GB UFS 2.1 storage. It also supports microSD card if you want to further expand the storage. The device boasts a massive 5,020 mAh battery, that supports charging via an 18W fast charger over a USB-C port. As for software, it ships with Android 10-based MIUI 11 out of the box. Here are the Redmi Note 9 Pro's Geekbench scores.

Redmi Note 9 Pro Review 12 — Note 9 Pro vs older flagship smartphones like OnePlus 7 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 9, OnePlus 6T, and OnePlus 6. Despite being a smartphone launched in 2020, there is still a massive gap between Redmi's new mid-range phone and flagship devices launched in 2018 and 2019.

Redmi Note 9 Pro Review 13 — During our time with the phone, we found the Redmi Note 9 Pro running very smoothly on MIUI 11. Although we haven't tested its gaming performance yet, multi-tasking is smooth on this phone. We hardly had any lag issues, but it is better to wait for our in-depth review in the near future for better and more detailed evaluation.
