Review on πŸ’° Get the Best Deal on Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Smartphone - 3GB + 64GB with 48MP Quad Camera Hotshot and 5020 mAh Battery in Midnight Grey! by Anastazja Miller ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Average quality of the product, especially for the money.

I expected it to be the same size as my last phone, a Xiaomi Redmi note4x, with the exception that its screen would be less framed. However, the battery drains rapidly due to the larger display. The missing LED status indicator. More frustrating, though, is the fingerprint scanner, which not only sits awkwardly under the cameras but also unlocks the device only once out of every two attempts in a shockingly high percentage of instances (around 60%). The Google dialer (which does not allow call recording) and other factory-installed programs are also very inconvenient. Personally, I'd prefer a smaller device with a higher resolution screen. After using it for almost a month, it seems fine technically, but there are several annoyances that shouldn't be there, therefore I wouldn't buy it for myself.

Pros
  • Two SIM card slots and a microSD card reader are included. NFC Obtainability Unibrow deficiency The factory-applied coating on the phone's display and the USB Type C port on the provided cover are both features about which I could care less.
Cons
  • Aside from being poorly functioning, the fingerprint scanner is also positioned in a very inconvenient place. The signal strength of NFC is low, it fails to function in around a quarter to a third of all attempts, you need to keep a bank card on hand, there is no LED indicator of missed calls, etc. Standard xiaomi applications (dialer, calendar, messages) are replaced with Google ones in the MIUI firmware for the European market. Huge mobile device
