Redmi 9 vs Redmi Note 9 - Which one should you buy? By Manila Shaker Philippines

And, these two phones are a real headache. Why? Because most of you guys are still undecided on which one to buy. So here we are with a comparison of the two budget phone from Xiaomi, the Redmi Note 9 versus the Redmi nine, and hopefully we help you in making that decision. These two phones are both well-designed. Redmi Note 9, with glossy touch finish, while Redmi 9, with a sort of matte finish that is less prone to fingerprint smudges camera architecture is different, but there is this sort of balance design. The camera compartment is still distracting on both devices.

I used to stretch my fingers to not touch the cameras while on Redmi Note 9, I tend to position my fingers like this, and this is a bit awkward, although for me, is more comfortable than the Redmi Note, 9. Imagine playing mobile legends and fps games. We or I tend to exert more force here, on my left hand, making it very stressful, seeing the Redmi Note 9 hole, punch, cutout, making it more attractive than the outdated dewdrop notch of the Redmi 9. And besides, while playing games in landscape mode, you can hide the cutout behind your fingers so that it is more comfortable for you to view the screen at the end of the day. It's all yours to decide which suit you the most the screen.

Well, they both are the same 1080p resolution. Redmi Note, 9 offers more protection and brighter screen and a little cooler tone display, but all can be adjusted in the display settings. Okay, so before you reach into your pocket to buy your device of choice, I'm going to say optimization and comfortability are the deciding factors here, but before we proceed to that, let's first compare their camera quality. First about the camera features. Redmi Note, 9 does have a pro mode that can shoot videos while adjusting the ISO and shutter night mode and panorama which you will not find on the Redmi 9.

In video mode. Redmi Note 9 captures 1080p at 30fps in both main and ultrawide lenses, and it offers stabilization while Redmi 9 also captures 1080p footage at 30 frames, but it doesn't have an as now for the camera quality 12, megapixel, pixel beamed shot from Redmi Note.9 is a lot brighter compared to the Redmi 9 even at nighttime. This is because Redmi Note 9 has a 48 megapixel camera, which collects more light than the traditional 12 megapixels of the Redmi 9. The color reproduction of both devices are nearly identical but indoors. Redmi 9 photos tend to be in a warmer tone, giving the photo more boost on the exposure, but overall image Redmi Note: 9 outputs, more natural, looking photos, while Redmi 9 produces more saturated pictures, although both phones, outputs soft images rather than sharp photos, which we think both needs a little optimization shooting on an 8 megapixel ultrawide in both phones.

The exposures are nearly the same. The colors on Redmi 9 appeared to be bluer than Redmi Note 9. , but when you turn the HDR mode, Redmi Note 9 offer more dynamic range photos, as you can see on our foreground. The leaves are dynamically exposed, making the photo balance while Redmi 9 overall images are underexposed. Moving on to the macro lens, the two images are quite distinct: Redmi 9 outputs, another saturated looking photo while Redmi Note 9 is on the natural color side.

Now, even though Redmi 9 has a 5 megapixel macro lens compared to the 2 megapixel macro camera of the Redmi Note, 9 Redmi Note 9 still produced better detailed photos, because the lens offers an autofocus system that enables you to get a closer shot of a subject. Even after cropping, the 5 megapixel shot still has no lock Redmi Note.9 still has the details now. Moving on to portrait lens the subject to background separation is not accurate when we look and examine the top and sides of the subject. Although quality, wise Redmi Note, 9 outputs, a sharper image now, switching to the front facing camera, 8 megapixels on the Redmi 9 versus the 13 megapixel. On the Redmi Note, 9.

Redmi Note: 9 produce brighter images. The skin is nearly true to life, while Redmi 9 is on the pinkish tone. It doesn't have a deep contrast, making it a balanced overall image, while Redmi 9 still has an acceptable selfie. But the contrast nearly removes other details, however shooting at night Redmi Note: 9 loses the skin tone. Color and Redmi 9 is more detailed, and it does have a balance contrast.

Both devices record 1080p and 30 frames on selfie, cam and Redmi 9 appears a little contrast compared to Redmi Note 9. The video also appears mirrored but Redmi Note 9 tends to have a little over sharpened video. Now, let's finally talk about their performance first things. First, as I've said they have the same 1080p display with hello g80 on Redmi 9 and hello g85 on Redmi Note, 9. , okay, second thing in our hand the Redmi Note 9 has 4 gigs of ram plus 128 gigabytes of internal storage, while Redmi 9 only has 3 gigs of ram plus 32 gigabytes of internal memory.

They are both running on android 10.0, with mini 11 skin. Now, here's a piece of quick news: Redmi Note 9 is currently receiving updates online and the change log for the update is listed as improving system stability and reducing system lag and another thing. Redmi Note: 9 is listed on DA developer forums to receive a stable, mini 12, but it is still on beta. But again that means we can have access to more and improve stability and performance of the latest mini software. On the other hand, we don't have any news about Redmi 9, yet except optimization update as well.

To be honest, it's hard to review devices with newer chipsets as we don't have fixed performance results. Yet this is because we are currently receiving optimization software updates, but here's our latest info and the current situation of the two phones we believe there are at least two types of optimization one- is from the game developer to the phone or to the chipset. So what ship was made first Leo g80 right? That's why we first saw an update on Call of Duty mobile on the Redmi 9. It already has medium plus high frame rates. The time we are testing the device, while the g85 from the Redmi Note, 9 only has low, plus medium frame rates.

That time that means whichever chipset came first will be first to receive an optimization from the game's developer right now they both have the same settings medium plus high frames. Are you guys still with me now? Second is manufacturer itself. Let's say Xiaomi will push an optimization update on our devices. That's why we have software updates. This will optimize and fix all the bugs some things inside your device, either its camera or performance security, etc.

, not on the game itself, and that depends on the phone maker. Now here we can see the price difference. Nothing to talk about here. I just want to show you their prices. Okay, the ram and memory doesn't really matter if you are not into future proofing, although the recommended run for now is 4 gig variant.

If you're just going to use this as a media consumption device, 3 gigs of ram is ok, but if you want some extra flexibility and capability 4 gigabytes of ram is your choice. The performance will only decrease if we have a bunch of apps currently running in the background or if we have no more storage space left on our test running a single game with no running apps. In the background, it was a satisfying gameplay experience and, as you can see, the launch time of both devices is almost the same. Therefore, a low realm will not affect our gameplay, so here are their an tutu benchmarking speed tests. As you can see, Redmi Note 9 is leading in terms of process.

It is also leading in numbers, and the only thing that we notice is Redmi.9 is 5 to 7 percent, more stable than Redmi Note 9 in terms of gaming, and, as I said earlier, it's about optimization g80 is the first to be optimized, since it is older than g85. So here's our conclusion. Redmi Note 9 is like we said: we'll have a stable, mini 12, so that means the phone maker or the manufacturer can still push another optimization update for mini 11, but we think they are focusing to push the optimization on the mini 12 instead, so even we are receiving updates. It feels like there was no change in the performance in terms of battery endurance test. Redmi 9 is more power consuming, but with that being said, we believe it is still because of optimization.

It is slightly powerful. Hence, the battery life will drain faster, but that's another conclusion by us and in terms of charging the charge almost the same time. So overall budget wise, Redmi 9 is acceptable and affordable. It has a nice performance, although it lacks versatility. The night shot from Redmi Note.9 is way better than Redmi 9. Camera flexibility is present again in the Redmi Note 9 and there's nothing unusual here, because the price is fair performance, wise Redmi, note 9, it is more powerful than Redmi 9.

It's just that hello g80 is the first received optimization. On the other hand, we can look forward to receiving the mini 12 skin for a promising stable performance on Redmi Note 9. Both phones are good, and they have a good price to performance ratio. Of course, if you add an extra buck, you will get more. The best thing is Redmi.9 is the budget phone that offers more specs than it costs. It has ideal specs compared to other smartphones, with the same price range and Redmi Note 9.

We are still looking for better optimization, and we are waiting for the mini 12 again on software updates. That's it. We hope we enlightened you and were happy to help you with your purchasing decision.
