Hello guys welcome to the review of the redmi Note 9S by Xiaomi. The
device was recently launched and so far so good this device is one of its kind due to its unique features.
BUILD:
This
device is made with a Glass front (Gorilla Glass 5), glass back (Gorilla Glass
5), plastic frame attached to it. It carries a weight of 209g with a dimensions
stated at 165.8 x 76.7 x 8.8mm making a giant 6.67 inch IPS LCD Capacitive
touchscreen with 16M colours display. The
resolution is a 1080 by 2400 pixels with an aspect ratio of 20:9. A PPI of
about 400 density.
As
advertised it has a 450 nits type brightness which would make it convenient to
use under direct sunlight.
I
can categorically say that I love this giant display because it will be convenient
for gaming and watching movies.
PLATFORM: The operating system or User interface on
this device is the Android 10, MIUI 11 out of the box. Although users of this
device are currently awaiting the MIUI 12 that was released few months ago.
The
Chipset on this device is the Qualcomm SM7125 Snapdragon 720G (8nm). The G
there stands for gaming, meaning this device is meant to game efficiently and
to conveniently function under high intensity. The processor is an 8 Nanometre
semiconductor that is power efficient. Meaning the likes of Redmi NOTE 8 proand INFINIX ZERO 8 can’t compete with this device when it comes to power efficiency.
Cracfted with an Adreno 618 GPU.
What
more do you want from a device which is tagged MID RANG device. This is just so
excellent comparing it with other brands and devices within its rang.
MEMORY: The Redmi Note
9S comes in two different memory configuration which are:
ü 64GB ROM and
4GB RAM
ü 128GB ROM and
6GB RAM
With
a dedicated micro SD card slot with support up to 500GB of storage.
CONNECTIONS: this device
supports dual SIM stand bye. Other connections include the WLAN fast
connection, a Bluetooth 5.0 connection. Attached to it is an IR blaster for
remote control. It doesn’t support NFC but REDMI NOTE 9 PRO supports NFC. It
has an FM radio plus a type C usb cable cable of fast charging and fast data
transfer.
SOUNDS: the speakers
are just too great. The downward firing speaking has a fantastic bass when
listening to music, movies etc. and it support a 3.5mm jack for headphones etc.
FEATURES: It feature a
side mounted finger print sensor which is just too fast and easy to reach. Underneath
it is the power button. So a user needs to be very careful in using this device
power button. You can simply press down the button for power button option and
simply tap on the button for finger print option. It is a very cool device.
MAIN CAMERA: This device
housed a quad core camera at the rear. The main camera is a 48 Mega pixel whose function is for wide. Then the 8 MP
camera for ultrawide mode, 5 MP camera for Macro photo and 2 MP camera for
Depth sensing. It supports video recording at 4k 30/60/90/120/960 fps with a
1080p display.
The
selfie camera is a single 16 MP camera futuring HDR panorama mode. With the
help of screen flash, Xiaomi has made it easy for night selfies.
In
all am really excited with this device. We can say it has a little upgrade in terms
of operation with the REDMI NOTE 8.
BATTERY AND
CHARGING SPEED: As
seen this days smartphones manufacturers are generous with battery capacity
because you could hardly see a smartphone this days with less than 4000mAh
battery. So the battery of this device is a giant 5020mAh battery with a 22.5W
charger out of the box. But what am not happy about is its ability to only
charge at 18W taking it up to 2 hours to fully charge from 0-100%. I really
prefere the redmi NOTE 9 PRO which charges at 30W with 1:12 minutes from
0-100%, don’t forget the infinix zero 8 too.
In
terms of battery life this device can last about 8 hours of gaming, 12 hours of
heavy usage and 24 hours of light usage depends on the user.
COLOURS: this device
comes in three colour variants which include the AURORA BLUE, GLACIER WHITE and
INSTERSTELLAR GRAY. The weight is about 210 grams.
PRICE: In Nigeria the price is dropping and from experience you could get this device
currently at N96, 000.00 for the 128GB ROM 6GB RAM option.
WHERE TO BUY In Nigeria
This device is being sold in many outlet in Nigeria, but you can from the comfort of your home purchase this device from Jumia Here or Konga Here online malls And would be delivered to your doorstep.
PROS:
ü Beautiful design

ü Fantastic camera
ü Beautiful/intuitive UI
CONS:
ü Just 18W charging speed (Even though
22.5W is in the box)

consumption
