Karamchand Rameshwar - Mar 30, 2020

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro (also known as Redmi Note 9S in international markets) is a new mid-range smartphone by Xiaomi. Check out our Redmi Note 9 Pro review for more details.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro (also known as Redmi Note 9S in international markets) was officially announced in India on 12 March with a starting price of Rs. 12,999. The handset is already available for sales in Black, Glacier White, and Aurora Blue from 17th March in India via Amazon India, Mi Studio outlets, Mi.com, and Mi Home stores. Here is our Redmi Note 9 Pro hands-on review, let’s check it out.

Redmi Note 9 Pro Review 14 — These are all accessories bundled with the Redmi Note 9 Pro (Redmi Note 9S), including a fast charger, a charging cable, and a silicone cover.

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 5 — You can protect the camera hump with the bundled silicone smartphone case.

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 2 — In terms of specs, this camera cluster includes a 48MP f / 1.8 main sensor, an 8MP f / 2.2 ultra-wide-angle sensor with a 119-degree viewing angle, a 5MP macro sensor and a 2MP depth sensor.

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.
