Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro: Design and Build-up
Over the past few years, Xiaomi has retained its latest design pattern on their new products. The Note 9 Pro retains that same product design first introduced on the Note 7 Pro, and further reiterate on the Note 8 Pro. However, a new design overhaul comes in the rear panel of the phone. Xiaomi has removed the former gradient finish, and instead opt for a glossy panel of Gorilla Glass 5 which we found more sustainable.
The rear panel can double up as a mirror, making it a dirt and fingerprint magnet. Moreover, there’s an additional phone case in the box which you can use if you don’t want to constantly clean up grudges.

Just like the Redmi 8 Pro, we’ve got a camera module that is mounted on the center instead of a vertical arrangement that’s found on most high-end smartphones. The four camera sensors are well arranged on a pop out rectangular camera bump with the LED flash right below it. Although the camera module added to the design of the phone, you’ll find it catching up on the pockets of your trouser. Because of the raised camera module, you’ve to be careful when handling the phone to avoid breaking the camera lens.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro features a side-mounted fingerprint sensor contrary to most mid-range smartphones. This is well positioned right behind the power key and we found it extremely fast when unlocking the device. The power button is well positioned that you can easily reach it even with a single hand. However, the volume rockers are positioned right up that’ll be impossible to reach it except with the use of two hands grip.

On the bottom edge is a well placed USB-C port along with the headphone jack. Over the left is a compounded tray for the dual-SIM and the microSD card slot. The Redmi Note 9 Pro comes in multi-color options of Tropical Green, Glacier White, and Interstellar Gray.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro: Display
On the display, we’ve got a completely different front panel. The Redmi Note 9 Pro sports a bigger 6.67-inches IPS LCD along with a 20:9 aspect ratio and a dot-hole cutout notch for the selfie camera. The screen resolution remains Full HD+ like what was found on other Xiaomi Note devices. Unfortunately, when compared to Realme 6 Pro and stablemate Poco X2, the phone slides down on a high refresh rate.
However, the Xiaomi latest Redmi Note 9 Pro is a pleasant step forward when it comes to design. Unfortunately, the phone’s weight is something we won’t like to talk about, with the Redmi 9 Pro clocking in at 209g. There’s no water-resistant feature as found on Apple and Samsung products, but it does sports a P2i coating which offers some level of splash resistance.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro: Camera Review
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro core camera set-up remains consistent between the flagship Redmi 8 Pro and other Xiaomi mid-range smartphones. The quad-camera set-up on the Note 9 Pro includes a 64-MP (f/1.9) primary shooter, an 8-MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide sensor, 5-MP (f/2.4) macro sensor, and 2-MP (f/2.4) depth sense coupled with a LED flash. The camera does a good job of capturing bright, crisp, and captivating images with the 16-MP (f/2.5) selfie camera.
The Note 9 Pro cameras are undoubtedly among the best in Android smartphones. They’re rarely found on mid-range smartphone and Xiaomi are now embracing a more natural camera quality. Night mode really flounders on this Redmi Note 9 Pro. Using the phone’s camera during the night will be a very unpleasant experience as the images are devastatingly grainy and lacks details.

Xiaomi has also improved on the video aspects as well. The new Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro captures crisp 4k videos @30fps, 1080p @30/60/120fps, and 720p @960fps. Software additions have been integrated to please photo lovers as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro now features amazing softwares like HDR, Panorama, cinematic 21:9 crop mode, and lots more.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro: Performance, Software, and Battery Capacity
The production of Redmi Note 9 Pro sees Xiaomi returning to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors, as the Note 8 Pro features MediaTek Helio G90T platform. This time around, the Redmi Note 9 Pro is powered by Qualcomm SM7125 Snapdragon 720G chip-set with a combination of Adreno 618 GPU that tackles graphics duties.
As the case with most Xiaomi smartphones, the Redmi Note 9 Pro can handle all types of mobile games and apps without any lagging or stutters. The day-to-day performance is above satisfactory as you can switch between open tabs efficiently. There won’t be any hint of slow down, though we didn’t expect to see them either.
Depending on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro variant you choose to buy, RAM and storage space won’t be an issue. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro comes in single RAM and dual storage options of 6GB + 64GB and 6GB + 128GB storage configurations.
Running on Android v10 OS and Xiaomi MIUI 11 user interface, the software is the same as they’ve been before. The MIUI 11 integrates a lot of tweaks and gestures that make smartphone functionality more entertaining.
Xiaomi initiated the tendency of flumping massive 4000mAh battery capacity on its smartphones and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro takes it to a new level. Currently, the Redmi Note 9 Pro runs on a whooping 5020mAh battery cell which is more than enough to keep you active for 48 hours on average usage. Unfortunately, it require a lot of patience to fully power the device as the charging speed is limited to only 30W.
