Redmi 9A Review/Unboxing/Camera/Battery/Gaming test/Pros/Cons/ Redmi 9C alternative! Helio G25/G35 By TechUtopia

Out check it out what I have for it to do today to you for you, the Redmi, 9a, unboxing and review super cheap, affordable budget china phone, which is selling for 100 ninjas. Maybe I'm gonna even have a discount coupon for five dollars off. Please make sure to use it in the description from bang good and gear best anyway. Let's see here, what do we have in the box, and then we're going to move to the uh test review? Well, I'm just here we go, so we have an EU adapter, uh, microns, cable, yes, ninjas, still the micro USB port with the series Redmi a series. Unfortunately uh we have a pin top in our sim tray, which is has a two plus one SD card and two sim cards. So you can use three uh three options in the same time, and we have some manuals in just in different languages.

Since this is a global version. I don't even know do they have even Chinese version of the Redmi 9a. I don't. Furthermore, I think they don't have it bro anyway. Furthermore, I will also leave the buying links for the Redmi 9c ninjas, which is selling around 20 dollars more expensive.

You can buy also that smartphone with my links in the description that smartphone offers more features like uh, slightly, better chipset, it's like more cameras and, of course, what else. What else has there? The rhyming knights here, of course, also has an uh, of course, fingerprint sensor. I think so yeah and we here we have the Redmi Note 8 check this out what a large display, what a large display. This is basically by the way or maximum graphics, and you can immediately see this color shifting here, basically that the viewing angles are not that amazing and that's fine, that is fun. This is super cheap phone that I don't expect to have an AMOLED, uh or OLED here technology for 100.

This is a decent screen for the price tag: bro, okay, so hardware, wise uh. Basically, the structure itself, the design and materials for the Redmi 9a uh, it's thin, just it's still nine millimeters! This device is really thin. It has a really massive battery, but it's thin nine millimeters. It's not that bad. Of course, if we calculated the pump the camera bump, then that is thicker, but this without the camera bump, it's nine millimeters uh heavy around 194 grams.

For again, it's not even heavy for this screen size, 6.53, inches, 6.53, inches for 100 bucks and, like I said here, the screen itself: it's decent uh. It is better than from the Redmi 7 and Redmi 8. I can immediately tell you this: it is slightly brighter uh, better color production, just love it. It's just like I said, there's a slightly more improvement, uh slight small improvements in the display quality, and you can notice that if you have those series uh anyway, so first, what we're going to do is show you here that I did update it to the latest version and remember that this one fresh out of the box, it runs mew, 12. , mini 12.0.3. This is the mini global, stable version, and this is the update.

We can go here to the update version, and we can see what is new and what is new here. Uh noise could be heard when the screen was turned off in some cases. I don't know what is that and updated android security patch to July, so it's only one and a half months old. That is impressive, isn't it that is very, very impressive. Uh.

This version, which I'm having is of course two gigs of ram and 32 gigs of storage ninjas. You do have also a different storage of the Redmi 9a. You have uh, of course, four gigs of ram and 64 gigs of storage and selling for 140 uh and be bewared: beware of two gigs of ram. It's enough bro! It's enough here! You're, not gonna! If you're going to buy the smartphone uh, yes, we do have also humidity a7 and dug a5 pro. I will leave the buying links for those two uh devices and firstly, what we're going to do is here check, especially with the mini 12.

Here I don't have the pull-up notification window to adjust the screen. Brightness. Like you see myself, I don't say that I love this with the mini 12. You have to go to the display and from here we have brightness level reading mode color scheme you can even enable scrolled screen saturated or after recommendation yeah and from here you can go to the cool. I love the cool sidebar just put an outer and put the cool side dark mode.

We also have a dark mode with the Redmi 9a. This is very, very hard difficult to find in a cheap phones to have a dark mode in a cheap phone under 100 bucks, full screen mode outer rotation, screen, lock, screen and full screen display. Of course, you're going to go to the full screen gestures not now, and we can use them double check for notifications and gestures for the caches. I'm not going to use that it's going to just go back check this out so far it is fluid. It is fluid for 100.

I can't say that it's the fastest there uh, if you add, maybe of course, if you buy the Redmi 9c you're gonna, probably feel uh some small uh improvements in the speed here. But again this is decent. This is just decent, and now we're going to go to uh. Yes, let's check here the screen, we're going to do some screen test again, just this is on uh. Basically, this is on maximum uh maximum brightness, which I'm having right now the Redmi 9a.

So this is a 6.53 inch, LCD IPS screen uh. We have 29 aspect ratios and this is a 720p screen. Just this is not full HD. This is 720p. This is the Redmi 9a.

If you want to have a higher resolution, then you're going to buy yourself the Redmi, 9. , 269, PPI, medium density, screen density. We have a brightness around 400 luxes 1501, contrast ratio. It has a two TUV railroad rain land icon for certification. Seventy percent of NTSC uh covered screen, uh scotch resistance, but so far we don't have information.

What kind of uh screen protection it has by the way ninjas fresh out of the box. You're not gonna, receive a pre-installed screen protector. Just have that in mind for this price tag, you will have to buy it additionally, so uh again, just you're gonna. This is a decent screen. I can't complain uh also regarding the notch here.

I'm gonna just show you. This is beautiful. This is very beautiful here. I always love uh, this video to show it in my reviews. But what I'm going to do is show you here.

I'm going to go to the settings and show you around the notch. Do we have uh the ghosting and do we have that black shadow? We don't have any just sorry for that. Come on. You can see myself uh, we don't have it. So this is a decent screen.

I don't see any problems with it also a leak. I don't see any leak whatsoever. Furthermore, I will just show you right now here light leak, nothing, nothing ninjas! Furthermore, I don't see anything. Let me just show you here turn on, like that, I'm going to go to just a minute. Let me just find some black uh wallpaper again just so.

This is uh the screen itself. So, like you see myself, we don't have any high heavy uh screen light bleeding or something like that bleed light. I don't do you see it? I don't see anything here whatsoever in jazz, so maybe on the bottom here, but kind of it's, honestly. It's not successful at all. Maybe here we go uh here this here over here we have just a small one again.

This is what you find in this cheap china. Phones that sometimes that's not having this there's, not a big problem. Like I said here, it's not a big problem. It's not over the big screen, uh huge screen and maybe isn't this going to be different from uh for the different units, but I just can report you that small screen uh bleed light something like that happening here on the corner. Like Silva stuff, I just turned the lights off.

This is right now, the black wallpaper. What is this? This only means for the people who are going to watch movies and suddenly, when you have dark, uh images dark scenarios in the in your movie, you're gonna- maybe- and it's gonna- bother you, but it's not a big problem bro for 100, it's not a big problem. If the smartphone will was one thousand dollars, then this would be unacceptable, completely unacceptable. Uh anyway, so let's go now continue. We talk about the screen, uh completely love it.

We check. Furthermore, we checked here also uh. Basically the screen brightness at the max and let's go now check it at the low we're going to go. Also, you can use the sunlight mode which adjust brightness to strong ambient light when automatic outer brightness, when automatic brightness is off, let's go to minimum. Now this is the minimum, which is super cool for the knight to use.

This is 50, and this is maximum. Now, I'm using it as maximum for just review as a review here. Oh, wait. A minute wait a minute. We have here the control center notification shade hide the notch.

Individual apps show connection speed, show carriers edit battery indicator. Also, we can enable that. So we got that we got that nothing else. We don't. We don't have anything else here, no lock screen.

Let's see what do we have here? Modification notifications, home screen, okay, google discover swipe up on the home screen to open search, okay, global show memory, blur apps, show suggestions, okay, password security. Remember with this one doesn't have a fingerprint sensor, but it has a face unlock which we're going to test it just in a minute now what we're going to do we're going to go with the sound speaker test. Let's see here how the sound speakers sound the Redmi 9a for now the screen test pad it has a passive amino, one speaker on the bottom, who raps without music instruments he's using beatbox vocals nearly there. His songs, sm3wu check him out subscribe him, and let him know that you found about him on my YouTube channel, tech utopia, think in advance, and just we have here a 3.5 millimeter, headphone jack. We have typed a micro, USB port, one microphone and one speaker, volume, rocker and power buttons will be marketing power buttons and on the left side we have the sim dual sim, which I told you also it accepts SD card on the back.

We have one single camera and flashlight, plus this Redmi logo. With this really nice liner finish here plus. This is kind of scratchy surface, which is nice. It's plaid from plastic. I can't expect that much.

It is from plastic. All this build is from plastic. Nothing here is from method, except probably the buttons are maybe from aluminum here. Maybe anyway, let's move on with now we're going to do some speed tests and some benchmarks stay tuned, okay and just tips with the mini 12, which you didn't have with the mini 11 before, and this is the first time I'm even seeing it. Oh, I remember with the android tablets before basically from the left side, you can access the notification uh window and from the right side or from the window from the middle.

You can access, basically the control center, or you can just immediately check it out here, even anywhere in the screen just on the right or left. This is really cool. I have to admit this is very cool uh at the beginning, I had some troubles, but after that, or after just few times of use here, this is getting super, super smooth, and you can see myself. This is the control center. This is similar to the is have to admit, like you see by self, and also the brightness bar is there, which is also really cool.

So in the finish you can also go out. The brightness is on turn it back and, of course, you can hear, select and add different options. If you want to go with the different options, you can add them from here. Your just tap done and from here you can also access the notification, the system settings you can go immediately to the system settings like see. That's up beautiful, let's go next now: okay, checking here the headphones, the volume output max volume, okay, okay, let's go with the holistic deer; also, okay, and just of course you can't see it.

You have to buy the smartphone and check the volume by yourself, but from one to ten ninjas, the loudness and the quality for the price tag. I can give it six and a half nothing impressive, nothing even good. This is just average and just have that in mind that you're going to have an average volume output by the way I'm using really cheap. But again, I've been using the same headphones with the different smartphones and this by far this was the lowest uh sound volume that was coming with these headphones with this uh phone, but again you're, probably going to get a better sound with more expensive headphones. But again, of course, if you have only money to buy Redmi, 9a you're not going to have money to buy 30 or 40 headphones.

Of course, you're going to probably spend these moneys to this money to buy a better phone and not better headphones, probably going to have a budget for seven eight dollars headphones to have earphones, yeah everyone. Let's go now with the voice recorder, okay, voice recorder. I just want to show you first uh yeah yep it works. I can use go to switch to the speaker. Like you see pasta, it works.

Have the FM radio works. Let's go now to voice recorder. Now, okay, let's play it. I've recorded something already one two one two: this is the mic check. Uh mic quality test with the Redmi nine.

A mouth is forty-seven feet away, check, check, check, check it out, check it out, let's check here, the noise cancellation in the background. Okay, now my mouth is just a few centimeters away check, check, mic quality, Redmi 9a. Thank you, YouTube channel, let's check here the noise cancellation or the noise. In the background, when I'm just silent, oh nice bro! This is amazing. By the way, when I had this test, when I'm just silent, the window is open a lot of noise coming from the back from the outside.

Again just when you put your uh mouth closer to the phone, you're going to get loud and really clear, uh voice for this price tag, not that this is very cool anyway. Let's move now next, next and just we are back uh Redmi 9a in my hands so ninjas this is uh. Basically we're going to do some small speed tests, but before that we're going to do some benchmarks. Uh, let's go back here to okay, Bluetooth is disabled. I don't need it display.

Brightness level is at max okay. We got that and let's go now here to the gallery: we're going to go to the screenshots, albums and screenshots. Let's hear begin from, of course I had this update, which I showed you we're going to go to an tutu. This is done to score by the ninjas. This is the hello g25.

It's an OCTA core chip clocked at two gigahertz, so it has an IMG power, VR GPU, two gigs of ram 32 gigs of storage. Remember this is a ddr4 km, and we have e double 5.1 storage as a SD card expansion. Let's go to the geek bench file. This is the geek bench 5 for this halo g25 you just- and here we have it's interesting. It's interesting, very, very interesting, MediaTek, chipset, MediaTek smartphone.

The hardware support level for the Guam is unlocked check this out bro. It's unlocked unbelievable uh, of course, l3 security level for the Netflix white, one l3 and yeah. That's it simple basic stuff: we're going to go a little here through the Ada 64. To show you some information. Some people do love when I'm sure the Ida show died 64.

Uh. I think I'm, only the first commercial reviewer to even uh include all these apps in review so far that I know anyway, they are very interesting. They are very interesting full of information, so you can check here the course uh a lot of different uh information. This chip is built on 12 meter chip technology. We have here the display settings 720p, like you, see myself, power, VR watch ge8320.

Here we have some networks. We can go also to the thermals checking here, the normal temperatures uh under the normal use.37.8 Celsius- I can see that's that's I don't know. I would say that it does heat up a little just more. This is I'm not even playing any games. This kind of should be lowed.

This temperature should be lowed bro again, I don't think. I think this is something critical. It's not critical! Sensors, like you, see the accelerator orientation light proximity sensor, yeah, I'm going to go just to the information just for that. We're gonna we're gonna soon do the speed test and go again sad news: uh we don't have magnetite, and we don't have a gyroscope. It seems, so we have I'm using I'm right now different application and I trust it and unfortunately there is no gyroscope.

Can you believe that if I move the sensor like see, but if I move the phone there is no sensor inside this phone, what can I do what we can do bro? This is super, super bad, no data from the sensor, and you see you save myself: hey bad, Redmi 9a. Why not? Why not having a gyroscope flame verily anyway? Now we can exit everything now we're going to exit everything, and I'm going to start to do this speed testing just remember this device doesn't have a fingerprint sensor: uh, it doesn't have an identification bar. All these stuffs are removed, everything is removed. It has only faced unlock, which I'm going to test in a minute. Regarding the of course, 4g LTE.

This is a 4g LTE smartphone and this is a global version, and it does have a b20. So it's usable in a uni JS. You can use it in EU without any problems. Let's check here, the first launch of the Facebook. Let's check here the first launch of the YouTube for the halo: g25: hey, it's okay, ninjas, I can't say: there's something really impressive, something good.

I remember Redmi 7. This is ninjas from Redmi 7. , Redmi, 7, uh, okay, 7a, then the Redmi 8a and Redmi 9a yeah. It's not a big difference. It's not a big difference in this here.

G25 there's, not a big improvement in the high-end world and just in the mid-range world there's a lot of improvements there, but in the low-end world, unfortunately, there are no improvements. I can't say that I'm really sad about it. This is a cheap, cheap, uh market. For this price tags uh I mean what we also can see. It has a Bluetooth 5, which is fascinating for the halo g25 100.

This is very rare that a phone has a Bluetooth, 5. Uh. It has OTG OTA. It has audio jack, radio, FM OTA, sync tethering and VoLTE. Let's just here check the tools, and we have uh.

Let's see here, the FM radio is it there FM radio is here. We have screen recorder, also recorder with voice recorder and screen recorder. All together yeah so, like you see myself here, uh two gigabyte ram, smartphone, opening the YouTube opening play store, and it closes, and just it can't keep hold it like that. This is so stupid. Bro, stick data, app permission full screen or blur app.

This is so stupid. Oh my god, this new UI 12. I don't know why people are praising it. So much honestly, I don't like it that much. I don't like it that much sorry for that ninjas, but a lot of cool stuff are removed from the mini 12 from the mini 12 from UI 11.

I don't know why they've done this example. Furthermore, I can't look now the apps in from the recent task. Maybe I can do it in the settings, but from here I can't do it or am I doing something wrong? I don't think I'm doing something, I'm not doing anything wrong, bro the option I was, I would usually just hold it, and it will appear, but nothing now. It goes immediately to the said. This is bad.

This is bad. In my opinion, this is very bad bro and, like you see, what's up, I'm not impressed by the performance of this a g25 again for 2020 standards. This is going to be slow for unit. Just it's going to be slow for you. I can even say that the hero p23 is a better option.

It's a better option, a p23 even scores better and two to score. I think so. I need to recheck that, but so far what I noticed from the OMG a5 pro, which I reviewed seven eight months ago, it um five pro was faster smoother than this device. Hey there. You go check this out again play store closed, and this is only for application.

Bro, two gigs of ram anyway uh. Let's move on okay, let's go now and test the face ID. Okay again. What can I say normal? It's average ninjas average for 100 this? Is it're, not gonna, get anything better with different smartphones, maybe slightly a little better with the humidity, but hey ho? That's it! That's it just anyway. If you want to get the fingerprint sensor, just spend 20 dollars more.

If you need it, then you're going to get it with the Redmi 9c and let's move next now. Okay, so also important aspect of the smartphone is the battery life ninjas. The Redmi 9a has a 5000 image battery inside it with 10 watts, fast charge included. If I can call it fast charging uh the non-removable battery and remember uh top it off with android 10 mud 12. Uh.

This device in charge is charging at charging speeds from zero to 100, takes two hours and for around two hours and 40 minutes screen on time can get impressive around 10 hours, ninjas around 10 hours. So this is a smartphone, for I don't know for kids, for students for old people who want to have a smartphone with a beast and of course this is a smartphone for a backup for a backup as a backup smartphone for the different users. I don't know different ages, etc. , etc. , and I love it completely.

Love it here to have a 10 hours skin on time for 100 bucks. That is crazy, crazy, good two hours and 40 minutes to fully charge it from zero to 100. This gets a really great score and, in my opinion, in the top three best reasons to buy this device is the battery life. Okay, now we're going to move with the camera department before showing you the camera, samples and uh pictures camera videos. Please I have to basically let you know and advise you please make sure to check my full camera review on my YouTube channel.

It's there make sure to check it out, because I'm going to show you a lot of show you a lot of different uh options and a lot of different video samples and video and picture samples with this device uh anyway. What I love about the mini 12? It is this approach with the camera stock new, basically the mini's skin. Here with the camera itself. I love how they've done this with the photo, and I have to go back, but here this option is this is just so cool the aspect ratio the seconds for the shutter. You can also go to the settings from here and can use still and tilt shift and show red lines, and from here you can add time, stamps focus and shoot customize, so they had added more stuff here, save the SD card.

Everything is here and anti-binding cool, very cool. The video sample. This one can go maximum 1080p and one option more 720p, 30 fps. The back camera is 30, megapixel, uh, of course, high resolution. I can call in that high resolution for 100 bucks.

What you can expect not 64 megapixels anyway, uh yeah, that's it. It has manual, focus and autofocus needs some updates improvements. Uh pictures and low-light pictures are not bad bro, not bad. Here I will show you that in a minute check this out. This is not bad for 100.

Honestly, this is not bad at all, loving it. I will show you pictures right now. The pictures at the day that makes really cool pictures and clarity is there high-res. Are there a lot of details, video samples so, so on? I can't say that I'm really impressed the front selfie camera video samples are perfect, very, very sharp. I was surprised by the selfie camera with the sharpness and overall, it's a better device in the camera than the humidity smartphone.

You have that in mind. Maybe humidity obviously, will give you three cameras with the macros macro lens and everything ultra-wide. If you care for those sensors, then you're going to go with the humidity, but if you don't care, if you care for one good single camera sensor there, you should go with the Redmi 9a. The phone selfie chem in engines is basic. Uh five megapixel sensor we're going to show you right now, all the samples and after that we're going to go with the gaming samples.

Uh use my links below to purchase this uh high-end cheap, cheap budget phone from Xiaomi, slash Redmi. Thank you. Redmi 9a, 1080p 30fps video test with my friend riding a bike. Handheld footage working, say: maritime, just peace be upon you. This is a camera review, full camera view of the Redmi 9a after the updates, this 100 smartphone from China from Xiaomi.

So you can basically judge myself. Is it worth buying for this price tag and, of course again, Xiaomi does attack okay, let's test it out of focus? Okay, not bad, it could be faster. It could be faster. Optimization is needed. Optimization is needed, bro, not bad.

It's playable, just as playable, it's not surrounding 60 fps, but it is playable, not bad for 100 phones. Okay, not bad though this is very playable. This is very playable here, asphalt, 8, which is crazy. There's no asphalt 9 on the play store. Oh my god, a bit slow this little mud, it's playable bro! You have to admit this is playable somebody with a sniper shooting, okay.

So my conclusions on the end, should you buy the Redmi 9a for 95 100 with a discount coupon? You can even buy for 95. So this is really a good price tag. You have to get mini 12, android, 10q, 5000 my battery a perfect camera on the back. It's maybe a single camera, but it does make very sharp and clean pictures at the day, beautiful, colors, beautiful details, video samples are okay, it's passable, but what I love about the video sample of the front selfie camera is better than with the humidity LFO aerophone and other brands under 100. So if you care about the selfie camera, you should buy the Redmi 9a huge display, 6.56.5 inches bro. That's amazing, amazing, maybe 720p, but again what you get can get for this price tag.

It's fine humidity does offer full HD resolution, which is insane gaming experience. It's decent battery life around 10 hours, screen time, 2 hours and 40 minutes to fully charge it good good good, basically results. What else we can mention here, the fluidity uh kind of I can say that they should work more. They should work more on the fluidity regarding opening in the apps and management. I'm not that satisfied with that, but probably going to add and improve this speed in the future, INSA Allah so ninjas.

Yes, I do recommend Redmi 9a uh. Also, you can wait maybe a month for the humidity a7. You can go maybe with that one that the device will also be under 100, and it's going to be very, very interesting for now. Redmi 9a is one of the best deals on the market. The buying links in the description support my channel.

Thank you have a great day. You.
