Redmi Note 9 review: A new affordable champion?

You get a lot for your money from the Redmi Note 9, with impressive hardware and design, and power that leaves many rivals in the dust.

Plenty of power ; Premium design ; Great battery life ; Value for money

Display brightness control is a bit random ; Sound quality from speaker not great ; Camera system a bit oversold

You get a lot for your money from the Redmi Note 9, with impressive hardware and design, and power that leaves many rivals in the dust. The camera might be a little over sold and the software brings a lot of bloat with it, but it's a capable handset.

It's a brand-new Note 9 through and through, but software and performance issues leave this Note in the dust, well behind the Pro and Pro Max.
