It is interesting to follow the Redmi Note lineup.\u00a0It would seem that Xiaomi should rivet the model one after another, in which it is easy to get confused.\u00a0But it’s actually interesting to see how they experiment with smartphones.<\/p>\n

In addition to a very good camera as in the OnePlus 8T, there is a powerful processor from MediaTek of the level of Snapdragon 765. That is, on paper, the power is almost the same as in the Pixel 5.<\/p>\n

This is a completely new model and one of the first smartphones of 2021. It was introduced on January 11, 2021.<\/p>\n

Design<\/h4>\n

The Redmi Note 9T is made of plastic: the frame and back wall are made of polycarbonate. In general, it looks rather poor. On the other hand, what we expected.<\/p>\n

In this case, the screen is on the rise.\u00a0It turns out such a layered cake, it looks interesting: Gorilla Glass 5 in front, plastic in the back and plastic in a frame.\u00a0And also a protective film is included.<\/p>\n

The fingerprint scanner is located on the side, in the power key.<\/p>\n

In addition, there is a headphone jack.<\/p>\n

Well, there are also compromises.\u00a0In addition to the plastic in the case, there is no moisture protection, and the vibration is usual rattling.<\/p>\n

Screen<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

The smartphone has an IPS display with a refresh rate of 60 Hz.\u00a0Its diagonal is 6.53 inches, and the resolution is 1080 by 2340 pixels with an aspect ratio of 19.5: 9.\u00a0The pixel density is high – 395 ppi.\u00a0In general, the display is not bad at a good average level.\u00a0Perhaps there are questions about brightness – at its peak it is 450 nits.<\/p>\n

Processor and hardware<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

One of the most striking features of the Redmi Note 9T is its heart.\u00a0It uses the MediaTek Dimensity 800U chipset.\u00a0It is an eight-core processor with 2 Cortex A76 and 6 A55 cores.\u00a0It is built on a 7-nanometer process technology.\u00a0All over the chipset is similar to the Snapdragon 765. Let’s see what it can do.<\/p>\n

GeekBench Results<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The smartphone passed the throttling test with confidence.\u00a0And the results in synthetics are really close to the Pixel 5.<\/p>\n

Overall, good.\u00a0But it is necessary that game developers start supporting the graphics of the Mali G57 MC3 and it would be possible to enable the top graphics settings everywhere.<\/p>\n

Also, the smartphone has 4 GB of RAM and 64 UFS 2.1 or 128 GB UFS 2.2 of internal memory.\u00a0It’s nice that there is support for two SIM cards, and there is also a separate slot for a microSD memory card.<\/p>\n

Camera<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

The Redmi Note 9T has a triple camera setup.\u00a0The set is standard for smartphones in this price range: wide-angle, macro and depth camera.\u00a0In general, it turns out that only the main camera is interesting, and the other two are here for quantity.<\/p>\n

The ultra-wide-angle camera has a Sony IMX586 sensor with a size of 1\/2 “and a resolution of 48 megapixels.\u00a0And this is an interesting module.\u00a0The same sensor was used as the main camera in many flagships.\u00a0For example, it can be found in OnePlus 7T Pro, OnePlus 8T, OPPO Reno4, Xiaomi Mi9 Pro and Mi9T Rro, Honor 20, OPPO Reno 10x Zoom and many others.\u00a0This is one of the most popular matrixes in smartphones.<\/p>\n

And you know what? It shoots well and does his job. And in daylight it gives excellent results. I wonder what will happen when the stable Google Camera app appears under the Redmi Note 9T. It will probably only get better.<\/p>\n

Software<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Redmi Note 9T runs MIUI 12. We know a lot about this custom skin, but how does it work here.<\/p>\n

There is a nice animation in the storage settings – the amount of memory is shown using water.<\/p>\n

Not without built-in ads.\u00a0For example, we found it in the Themes app.\u00a0The app installer also shows ads.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that animations in the system sometimes freeze a little.<\/p>\n

Battery<\/h4>\n

Inside is a 5000 mAh battery.\u00a0And that’s pretty impressive.\u00a0Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra has the same battery capacity.<\/p>\n

It supports fast charging with a power of 18 watts.\u00a0As we said above, it comes bundled and charges the smartphone by 33% in 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

As for the life time, the smartphone lasts for 5-6 hours of screen time.\u00a0That is, this is enough for a day of active smartphone use.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

In the end, everything depends on the price.\u00a0It could have been lower.\u00a0In reality, the Redmi Note 9T smartphone costs a little more than it looks.\u00a0And this is a problem for the Redmi line, which is loved and respected precisely for its value for money.\u00a0At the same time, everything is fine inside, except for a number of compromises, which are, however, expected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
