Review on Xiaomi Redmi 9A: 2GB RAM + 32GB, Dual Sim, Sky Blue phone by Nakaishi Kiyoshi ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Think carefully before buying this product.

It never works normally out of the box; you have to remove junk, configure, download firmware ates, security, and it's not guaranteed that even Google's functionality will function as it should. This is my third Xiaomi, which I've purchased because of the price to hardware ratio each time. For instance, despite being prohibited, automated call recording is not displayed on the most recent global version of the Mui firmware. There are numerous programs operating in the background, which means they function but act as though they don't exist and cannot be closed. For instance, calling on WhatsApp or using the player integrated into Total Commander are both generally fun. I unintentionally discovered that a ton of other applications are also involved, and that the call will continue until my interlocutor hangs up the phone. The same Muya, of which I already have only derogatory associations, also consumes so much memory that even in the menu, a phone with 2GB of RAM occasionally lags horribly. Those. Everything is shut down, including Gul's numerous services, which were all forcibly disabled by a professional. How is it possible that the application icons load with a delay of 2-3 seconds even in the menu / settings list? And so it goes with everything; some problems are handled by adding third-party software, others can only be fixed by rooting; generally, purchasing is not a joy in the end but rather a perpetual aggravation. It's like if I purchased a supposedly excellent wardrobe from Ikea, but instead of directions and standard fittings, they put some kind of rubbish, and now you collect and collect (also only profane words in your thoughts) this wardrobe, but it's still crooked and oblique and clings on to everything -how. This is EXACTLY the last phone I'll ever buy under the Xiaomi name.

Pros
  • Norms of iron for this money
Cons
  • Google Mui shell
